I would like to add that USAF has gone back to the amazing studies conducted on X-36 airframe and high aspect non-vertical rudder or rudderless design for there NGAD 6th gen concepts. The F22 like very low aspect engine nozzles are going to be seen again on NGAD.

Just google Radar Cross Section of J20, F22 etc. You will get it why 1:1 model is required.

Relax its a 1:1 of F-117 for Radar Spectroscopic Studies. Even Russians and US do that and we also do that.

1. Agreed. 2. I think a slight fuel penalty would incur, considering you have to account for COM changes. 3. Agreed, the newer variant would be used as a AEW&C, BMs for the strike package. Especially the drones. 4. Yes engines have been an issue, as with the SU57. I think T/W wasn't a factor...

Aha! its good to see some aviation updates. A two seater finally. Questions 1. Is it a trainer variant with combat capabilities? 2. Usually inclusion of a twin seat incurs fuel penalties, or structural lengthen changes, can you show some schematics of the new variant where the fuel is stored...

As per swarajya magazine China Conducting Final Trials Of Its Xian H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber Opposite Ladakh: Report (swarajyamag.com)

Consider this my last response here, as this is a J20 thread. 1. Do you know SFC? Its the Strategic Forces Command. I'd suggest you go to wiki page and read yourself the status of Agni 5. 👉 :facepalm: Rockets and ICBM have a long history of dependency. Most ICBMs are still rockets but...

Although true, questionable, because they were carrying possible Luneburg lenses. So RCS data isn't true.

Oh lord, Tailless is all fine, but the engine isn't IR's corrected. This isn't 6th gen. You wan't to see 6th gen go see BAE Tempest. 👉 6th gen fighters would be tactical deep airspace penetrators. 👉 They wont be needing extreme maneuverability as they would carry DEWs. Either in some form of...

Hate to break this to you, but it ain't joke. Its still has weapons onboard. Yes it can be understood that its effectiveness is questionable, and that would be the right way to put this. Never underestimate the enemy.

That's what the Chinese enthusiast aren't understanding, It wasn't design to be VLO fighter jet (Stealth). It was designed to be a long range interceptor with maneuverability (questionable considering powerplant and its huge size). This jet prime role is even not properly understood by there...

RRs are a JV for India's AMCA already.

I usually avoid this kind of discussion, as nuclear exchange is a very far fetched thought, however since you asked for it, 1. Pre-induction trials are done, all passed. The Final test was to be done before China virus, but then it was halted. Its already in ready state of deployment if need...

Probably updating the library for F35 and F22 and other platforms in there threat database. Or could be studying the radar reflection properties etc.

Corrections to my former post: Shaurya is a CRBM 👉 Counter to Point 3: I hope you do know the difference b/w ICBMS, LRBMs (IRBMs), MRBMs, SRBMs and CRBMs? ICBMS --> Agni 5 (operational), Agni 6 (in development) LRBM ---> Agni 3, 4 (operational) MRBMs ---> Agni 1, 2 (operational) CRBMs --->...

I second your argument, we have it was always with us, its called an MKI with PESA. Now your argument will push into stealth territory, 👉 but Rafael wasn't stealth fighter until it had shot F22 9 times in WVR fight. You should understand that writing articles and actual engagement is not...

Relax nobody is going nuclear and some shit. We have enough tactics to counter J20 or even F22 for that matter. Every platform brings some + and some -. This is a J20 thread, not a nuclear exchange thread. Both countries will think twice (can't say about Pakistan) for doing of with a nuclear...

Can you do some models on resonance scattering of the J20 newer -B design. Would like to see your analysis. Is alright if takes time, its just a request which can be ignored. But a good article with explanation in layman terms along with mathematical explanations and fact sources will surely...

J31 is an improved LO design, if only they can build an engine worth enough to compliment its mission parameters.

This just strengthen my arguments raised that it was designed as a fighter-bomber too, already mentioned quite a while ago. Its not surprising to see an EO-DAS probe beneath it. This move of production in large numbers, I am not sure if they bumped up air intakes too, nee some source is to...
