Important Takeaways:

• China’s air force announced it is about to unveil its newest stealth jet fighter, the J-35, which U.S. officials say was built with the help of stolen American military technology.
• The J-35 will be declassified and shown for the first time at the annual Zhuhai air show scheduled to begin Nov. 12, Chinese military officials announced Tuesday. The aircraft has been in development for more than 10 years.
• “For the first time, new equipment such as the medium-weight, stealth multi-role fighter J-35A, the HQ-19 surface-to-air missile and a new type of reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial vehicle will be on display,” Col. Niu Wenbo, a military spokesman, told CCTV state television. A photo of the J-35 was released but no other details were provided.
• It is the second radar-evading stealth jet in the Chinese military arsenal, after the J-20.
• Both jets are viewed as an effort by China to match the U.S. military’s F-35 and F-22. The J-35 will also be used on China’s growing fleet of aircraft carriers. Two are deployed, and a third is being built.
