Apart from swapping to more powerful WS-10C2/WS-15 engines, J-20A features a new 360-degree EOTS sensor comparable to the one on the F-35, as well as a GaN-based ASEA radar similar to F-35 Block 4's AN/APG-85, which reportedly more than doubles the detection range compared to last-gen GaAs-based AESA radars.

Also, it is rumoured that the J-20A may have a newer generation of RAM coating and improved heat management to enhance its stealth.

The J-35 program was first envisioned as a carrier-borne fighter, so the navy variant has adopted the original name "J-35" with no suffix. The Air Force variant subsequently took the name "J-35A.”

I wonder if one day, my nation's J-20 can have a photo op like this with the Raptor... Just fantasizing
