Or we can say that PLAAF doesn't think that they need to deploy J-20 in Tibet to counter IAF in this decade. The only thing that any fighter jet of any air force during peace time can do is: air patrols. No, using F-35A to simulate Chinese J-20's combat function in their training is not new...

Well, how can IAF be bothered if they have no proper jet to face it? Su-57? Obviously Russians themselves are not very satisfied by the performance. F-35 or F-22? Americans are not going to sell it to India in any time soon. AMCA? Well, basically it won't enter into service before 2030. Let's...

Agree totally.

That is the problem, as a Chinese, I can't get the same conclusion as you that Chinese will continue to use AL-31 (probably except J-15) from these Chinese newspaper. I just can't follow your logic. J-20 used AL-31, this is a fact. The latest fact is that since 2018, Chinese has been producing...

Sorry, I read the both links provided and I couldn't the sentence you highlighted, is that your conclusion, or I simply missed it somewhere?

Sorry, can you provide the source that they will continue using AL-31?

What is the "next"? Hope we are not disappointed this time!:)

I like the way you reponse: when you have nothing to say about a tech issue, trying to use political or other BS to cover it. Clever.

To him, a million dollars Chinese drone didn't present the reliability and tech quality of 100 million western drone is a failure.

Stealth and aerodynamic are contradicting each other. To some extent, you have to compromise one factor to enhance another factor. The current engine is underpowered, so Chinese designer has to sacrifice the stealth to keep the agility above the minimum requirement by PLAAF. So it is almost...

The current engines, AL-31 or WS-10C, are all interim equipment, so we have to wait until the WS-15 comes out. Then we can check what the "full status" J-20 is.

So, it is NOT deployed, period. 10 to 15? :facepalm: It takes over a year to produce that number. That is ICBM, not your rocket toy. Where did you learn that? Nobody produce 5 to 10 missiles for one prototype. The reason why we call it PROTOTYPE is there are potential problems in the...

Firstly, Agni-5 is still in development, not operational; Secondly, it is not ICBM with 5000+km range. I know some fanboys will jump up saying:" You Chinese expert acknowledge that already". I know, I know, a good propaganda effort in 2012, wasn't it. Yes, they are operational, but a very...

LEVCONS has its own disadvantage in different environment. There is no model only has advantages but no disadvantages. Using which model is depending the intended usage purpose of the plane. Don't forget, Indians are going to put canards on Tejas MK2 even though they had "advanced" LEVCONS on...

That downwash is only affecting part of main wing area, that is why planes with canard generally have larger main wing, but this disadvantage is negligible comparing to the tail down force produced by horizontal stabilizer. So, overall, in the low AOA, both types have similar CL performance, but...

Wow, now you start to invent aerodynamic? No, the canards don't kill the lift of the wing, it reduces the REQUESTED lift of the wing.

By your logic, you can say the same thing with F-22 which is improvement of F-15 and J-20 is further development of J-10.

No, it does matter. In most of potential war scenario, US is generally in an offensive position. Her air fleet need to face enemies' intensive air defense network and interceptors under the command of land based radars. With brilliant stealth, enemy's traditional land based radars can't detect...

So far, those VHF band radars are not small enough to fit into a fighter jet.

The problem is the range quoted was very vague. Within 30 km, most of world radars can burn through the stealth, even if it is F-22. Ironically, Chinese fanboys also created some fantasy of how F-22 got close to Chinese coast and was detected. It looks like that Chinese and Indian fanboys...
