China Flies Two Ultra-Long Range Sixth Generation Fighters J-36 in Formation For the First Time

China’s Chengdu Aircraft Corporation has confirmed the first formation flight of its two ultra-heavy, ultra-long-range sixth generation fighter prototypes, marking a major milestone in next-generation combat aviation. This fighter, the largest and most advanced stealth jet China has ever developed, features a three-engine design, massive internal weapons bays, advanced radar systems, and extreme combat radius exceeding 4,000 kilometers.

In this video, Mighty Military explores how this aircraft could redefine air superiority in the Pacific, its ability to carry oversized missiles like the PL-17, and why it represents a serious strategic challenge to American and allied air forces. We analyze the differences between Chengdu’s first and second prototypes, the aircraft’s unique thrust vectoring exhaust nozzles, and its potential to operate far from support assets like tankers and AEW&C aircraft.
