F-35 minus STOVL.

I wonder which side will suffer the most from friendly fire...
Perhaps F-35 will have to be escorted by A-10 and J31 by J6?
The article said its personnel was sent to Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute or 601 Institute and the 29th Research Institute of the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) during COVID-19 to support the aircraft’s development work.

F-35 minus STOVL.
Irrelevant thanks to the AN/AAQ-37 Distributed Aperture (DAS)a) this is a F-35 done the "right" way - no VSTOL and lift fan to ruin the pilot rear view...
My only qualm is it needs a bigger wing and control surfaces for carrier suitability.Can't help thinking
a) this is a F-35 done the "right" way - no VSTOL and lift fan to ruin the pilot rear view... even on the variants where it is not present.
b) And twin-jet like a Superbug or Tomcat...
c) Kind of "Superbug / F-35" hybrid done the right way.
d) Frack, ain't the FC-31 close from what the NATF was to be, circa 1993 ?
e)... a stealth Tomcat / A-6 replacement
...
f) And NOT the Super Bug and NOT the F-35 they got instead ?
g) Maybe the USN should take a licence ?![]()
