Since the advent of the J-20 stealth fighter, there has been a lot of heated discussion around the world about its performance and status. Some people believe that the J-20 has an advantage over the American F22 in terms of size and advanced avionics system.
As far as the stealth fighters F-35 and Su-57 that have been put into service in the United States and Russia are concerned, although the F35 is a multi-role fighter, it is far inferior to the J-20 in terms of air superiority operations. As for the Su-57, it is alleged that there are still deficiencies in stealth and avionics, and the gap is even more obvious compared with the J-20.
The United States** "MWM" once spoke highly of the J-20, believing that its performance is second only to the F22 and is the strongest fighter on the surface outside the United States. However, this assessment has a clear "America first" bias.
In fact, the J-20 not only surpasses the F22 in technology, but has even become the world's first 5th generation and a half fighter. The American F22 is outdated in terms of avionics system and difficult to adapt to the needs of modern air combat.
Regarding the J-20B two-seat version of the fighter, some people speculate that it may be equipped with a highly information-based and intelligent aerospace system, which can command unmanned wingmen to carry out automated operations, demonstrating the potential of the future scientific and technological battlefield.
It is worth noting that the scale of mass production of the J-20 is also remarkable. According to reports, China's annual production of J-20s has exceeded 100 aircraft, far exceeding the total delivery of F35s last year, which means that China has made great progress in this area.
The rapid development of the J-20 is not only a strong agent for China in the face of peripheral threats, but also a challenge to the United States' superiority in air combat. In East Asia, China already has nearly 200 J-20s, a number that has shaken the position of the United States.
In terms of comprehensive combat performance, China's J-10C and J-16 fighters have reached the level of four generations +, and only the stealth performance is slightly insufficient. In contrast, although the American F35 is stealthy, it is significantly inferior to Chinese fighters in terms of flight speed and missile range.
On the whole, some of the best in the United States have begun to recognize the advantages of China's J-20, which shows that they have realized that the hegemony of the United States may be challenged. As China's J-20 continues to grow and develop, the U.S. threat to China's equipment may only be a self-consolation.
