The debut of China’s new stealth fighter jet, the J-36, has raised alarms globally, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. With its advanced tailless design and superior stealth features, the J-36 could challenge U.S. and allied forces. India, which currently lacks a stealth fighter, may also face increased aerial threats. The J-36’s capabilities signal a major shift in military power, with far-reaching implications for global security and the balance of aerial dominance.
