In keeping with the PLAAF’s tradition of assigning its most advanced fighters to the prestigious 1st Fighter Division. reorganized as the 1st Aviation Brigade in the late 2010s, the first operational J-35A has officially joined its ranks. This unit has historically been the debut home for several key aircraft, including the J-7E, J-8II, J-11B, J-10, and J-20. With the addition of the J-35A, the 1st Aviation Brigade now stands as the only PLAAF unit operating two stealth fighters: the J-20 and the J-35A.
J-35A serial numbers 61820 and 61821. Photo credit goes to KC Andrew of the China Defense Forum.
