Indian Air Force says it can tackle Chinese J-20 jets

The J-20 is not exactly a fighter, but more of an interceptor, similar principle to the Mig-25 in its day and age. The J-20 is stealthy were it needs to be; large enough to house the long range weapons to carry out strikes or knock out high value enemy assets, and guide its standoff systems from over the horizon. the J-31 is more of a fighter, and it seems the Chinese have realized they need a real fighter. so while the Indians are playing down the j-20 (the us is actively studying the j-20 and it doesn't discount the j-20; it understands it has potential and should not be underestimated); which is dumb (under-estimating a design still in development), the j-20 isn't the only platform they will face in any confrontation. The hundreds of J-10, J-11, J-16, Su-27, Su-35, and not to mention planned J-31s, the IAF will have to face, backed up with ever improving EW equipement to jam those SAMs the Indians are relying on, and the strategy to win when that need to win mission is given to the PLAAF.

Its actually quite cathartic watching all these Indian accounts and Indians false-flagging American accounts autistically ape on anything Chinese related 24/7. Literally gives me relief seeing our self declared enemies be so delusional and pathetic its actually hilarious.

China's fighter jets to get upgraded

J-20's advanced versions to help China seize air superiority in Asia-Pacific: specialist

After China's latest J-20 stealth fighter was commissioned, the country will continue to explore new fighter jets that meet national needs and create more surprises, the fighter's chief designer said Tuesday.

China will continue to support efforts to further prepare the fighter for combat, develop more versions of the fighter and explore new fighter jets, Yang Wei, a National People's Congress (NPC) deputy and chief designer of the J-20, told the press on the sidelines of the NPC annual meeting.

"There will be more surprises in future fighter jets, which will be more mechanized, information-equipped and smarter," Yang said.

The surprises include progress on the research of China's next generation of stealth fighters, which is expected to make China no longer a follower, but a leader in the development of stealth fighters, Song Zhongping, a military expert and TV commentator, told the Global Times on Tuesday.

The J-20 series is also expected to undergo renovation, such as a high thrust engine and new electronic equipment and radars, Song said.

The advanced series could help China seize air superiority in the Asia-Pacific region and safeguard national security when facing containment from the US, Japan, Australia and India, he added.

The J-20 is China's fourth-generation medium and long-range fighter jet. It was first showcased in public on a fly-by at the Zhuhai air show in November 2016, and after it was delivered to the People's Liberation Army Air Force in March 2017, it joined the military parade at the Zhurihe military training base in July 2017.

According to air force spokesperson Shen Jinke in February, air force combat troops had armed the J-20.

China's J-20 jets have several unique designs and capabilities, such as the canard configuration design that provides them greater stealth while maintaining maneuverability and its supersonic speed, Yang said. "The design allows the J-20 to fly further and with greater bomb load," he added.

The J-20 is also capable of situation awareness, information warfare and cooperative combat, which shows that China's aviation industry has progressed from a "follower" to a "leader," he said.

The fighter is also a product of military-civilian integration, as its carbon fibers and metamaterials are produced by private companies, Yang said.

Carbon fibers not only provide the fighter with greater stealth, but can also reduce the aircraft's weight to allow more weapons for greater attack power, Song said.

. . .
can SP12 even deal with J-10A ? their Russian lab rat MKI is one expensive clumsy fellow, J-10A's radar can light them up like red light district over 150KMs away```:lol:

and 5th gen network centric combat system is absolute to SP12

Even chinese have s400 so they must be aware of it's strengths. Also S400 has a limited range leaving lot of room for Chinese jets to cross borders. Against stealth fighter only a stealth fighter can be a deterrent.

What IAF gonna shoot J20 with? Bows and arrows??
