J-35A

CCTV-4's October 3 China News opened with footage from Sichuan showing a dead-load catapult alongside the WZ-7 Xianglong, described as a domestically developed high-altitude, long-endurance strategic reconnaissance drone, and the J-35A stealth fighter. The equipment had surfaced shortly before National Day, and viewers are reading the high-profile placement as a deliberate showcase of China's latest air power ahead of the holiday.
