The network has published the clearest photo of the prototype of the Chinese next-generation combat aircraft, which is supposedly called the J-36 ("Jian-36").
In a relatively detailed image, you can see that the developers from Chengdu (Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, part of the Chinese state aircraft corporation AVIC) have equipped their new brainchild with three engines and two ILS for two crew members sitting side by side in the cockpit.

The promising Chinese J-36 combat aircraft was first spotted a few months ago in the skies over Chengdu. Currently, the characteristics of the J-36 are unknown and are of an assumed nature: from super maneuverability and stealth technologies to hypersound and near-space altitude.
In addition, it is possible that the new aircraft may not be designed for air combat, but may become the center of the latest combat aviation system. In particular, according to one version reported by The Strategist, the J-36 can be a data source for targeting other machines using large passive and active sensors that aircraft of this size can easily carry. However, at the same time, some indirect signs indicate that this aircraft has increased speed, improved weapons systems and increased invisibility for detection systems.
