Insights from the Latest J 50 Image

The J-50. Since its maiden flight in December 2024 and three to four test flights in 2025, this prototype is set to redefine aerial warfare. We examine high-resolution imagery of the J-50 in a vertical climb, spotlighting its rectangular two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles, flush-mounted electro-optical targeting system (EOTS), and tailless delta airframe optimized for minimal radar cross-section.

We explore how the J-50’s design departs from the J-20, highlighting innovations such as WS-series engines, AI-assisted cockpits, and integrated sensor fusion for situational awareness. Internal weapons bays and stealth-first features support roles from air superiority and deep strike to electronic warfare and unmanned operations.

Drawing on expert assessments and open-source intelligence, we provide a detailed overview of the J-50’s development timeline, testing status, and impact on the regional power balance. We compare it with fighters like the F-35 on stealth and maneuverability.

Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast, defense analyst, or military tech professional, this video delivers research-based insights into China’s evolving stealth strategy.

For the China haters who’ll say this fake, decades ago the west thought China never will have the ability to explore space, and yet China has her own space station the CSS😂😂😂😂😂😂

To produce fighter jet, you need engineers and smart workers, not a 1000 IQ president.

More power to Chinese Defense Industry.

Those inlets are neat. Don’t know if it is DSI or Caret. Looks like it has thrust vectoring to me.

America will never catch up with China, America cries in despair

Very Briefed And Summarized Ideas:

for the 6th generation J-50 multirole fighter aircraft it's tactical frontline fighter aircraft although the PLAN and PLAAF, still were not staffed their squadrons with enough numbers from the 5th generation multirole tactical fighter aircraft's, gatherings experience and developing the appropriate tactical concept to move to the 6th generation J-50 especially since the aviation industry is very delicate and sensitive technology thus the maturity especially for completely new generation fighter aircraft with new tactical and operational requirements and specifications...


while for the J-36, I think the employment of 3 engines for the air dominance platform not only to increase the speed when needed to outperform the modern generation radar guided air2air missiles equipped with ramjet engines which could reach 6 mach, or climb to the higher altitudes of the stratosphere to intercept the future sr-72 blackbird or even to intercept the high velocity glide vehicles considering the mig-25 successfully reached 38 km altitudes about 50 years ago, in modern days this altitudes or touching the boundary of the stratosphere become achievable, but I think to ensure stable and constant performance during the entire flying profile, without the needs to place excessive pressure on the engines which could effect those engine performance, it's durability and reliability and its lifespan...

As an American, I believe this is all AI video and this plane does not exist. Only computer generated.

*How do you know that 2024 was the first maiden flight*

[hpw-wsbj]

Drawings are wrong. It has a much thicker fuselage.

[Jakery]

The base of the aircraft is so narrow. Is it a drone? It can't carry much weaponry.

[shihaiwei]

Flat belly, I guess the previous gap in the middle was different colour.

[TGS]

Looks more like a true 5th Generation Fighter than 6th

[Bidyoworks]

sloppy chopseuy design and it's ugly!

[javiermac]

You can know it can go to space. Fly at hypersonic speed. Has laser weapon plus nuclear missiles. Can destroy entire country and fly to mats and back? From just a few Pic?
