>We don't even have the tiniest scrap of concrete info about the J-36Uhhhm actually we know quite a lot about it.
It has flown next to a J-20 so the length was derived by pixel-counting and comparing to the known length of the J-20. Since both planes flew close together and were quite far from the zoom lens of the camera, this could be done quite accurately.
Someone dug up a contract the plane company issued for an aircraft towing tractor that can do at least 60 tons, and so far they've only been doing fighters so this is an indication the J-36 is basically twice the weight of a typical large air-superiority fighter.
And we've seen it flying with missiles in the weapons bay, one is a PL-17 the other looks similar to a PL-15 and PL-17 in layout, but is much bigger than both - clearly another, even longer ranged air-to-air missile.
So we know this is a huge 60 ton air-to-air missile truck.
Physics are physics, this thing has shittons of space for internal fuel so it is going to have shittons of range.
The weapon bays are relatively modest for the size of the plane, clearly intended for huge air-to-air missiles, but if this was meant to bomb stuff the bays would be bigger.
We can also tell from the angles of the wings and the inlet design that this thing wasn't designed for subsonic or low supersonic, it is clearly a high-supersonic layout.
The avoidance of control surfaces and overall shaping clearly show a very low observability stealth design, akin to western 6th gen proposals.
Of course to someone uninformed like you who cannot derive any value from merely observing a wing angle, this might seem as "not even a scrap of info" but not everyone is so ... cognitively limited.
