China's People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has officially inducted the J-35A, a fifth-generation stealth multirole fighter, into its 1st Air Brigade, which already operates J-20 stealth fighters. Recent observations show formations including the J-16D electronic warfare aircraft leading two J-20 stealth fighters alongside two J-35A jets, highlighting the integration of electronic warfare capabilities with stealth fighters in modern air combat. The J-20S, a dual-seat 5.5-generation fighter equipped with a rear seat weapons systems officer to control unmanned drone wingmen, is nearing or has entered operational service, marking a step toward sixth-generation air warfare tactics. The PLAAF's 1st Air Brigade, formerly the First Fighter Division, has evolved through multiple aircraft generations, now fielding advanced stealth platforms. Additionally, China is advancing its capabilities in space warfare, with plans for space fighters featuring combined propulsion systems capable of runway takeoff, space operations, and global strike missions. The J-15T fighter for next-generation carrier operations has also been showcased, reflecting broader modernization efforts under Chairman Xi's leadership to prepare the PLA for dominance in air and space domains.
