J-35 naval stealth fighter jet

China's People's Liberation Army showcased all five models of its fifth-generation combat aircraft in active duty for the first time at the grand V-Day parade in Beijing on Wednesday, a move that observers said intended to demonstrate its world-class air prowess.

The models, the J-20, J-20A, J-20S and J-35A of the PLA Air Force as well as the PLA Navy's J-35, thundered past Tian'anmen Square in central Beijing in flying wedge formations toward the end of a 70-minute parade marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
