IMO even for the PLAAF/PLAN's standards, the J-20 is more experimental and a stepping stone to something else later down the line than a serviceable product. I know the PLAAF 'inducted' it, but with them continuing with also rolling out J-10Cs and J-11Ds to-date, the J-20 isn't key to their strategy. It's key strategically in terms of letting them develop next-gen fighters, but I think we'll start seeing the real fruits 5-10 years from now (as a new fighter from Chengdu).If you really wanted to turn the tables on the IN, IMHO, PN should do anything to convince China for 8 J-20s. IN has no counter to such a plane. It would be a constant threat, with any of their capital ships, AWACS, P-8s, no matter where in the Indian ocean, afraid of being knocked out.

it will bring back PN in game fully agreedIf you really wanted to turn the tables on the IN, IMHO, PN should do anything to convince China for 8 J-20s. IN has no counter to such a plane.

Good ideaIf you really wanted to turn the tables on the IN, IMHO, PN should do anything to convince China for 8 J-20s. IN has no counter to such a plane. It would be a constant threat, with any of their capital ships, AWACS, P-8s, no matter where in the Indian ocean, afraid of being knocked out.
so you are saying we expect to see another JXX in addition to j20 and j-31..IMO even for the PLAAF/PLAN's standards, the J-20 is more experimental and a stepping stone to something else later down the line than a serviceable product.

I believe so.so you are saying we expect to see another JXX in addition to j20 and j-31..
i am not sure..
the design of j-20 is solid, they can keep updating the rest
simply updated engine and avionics will not give the j-20 a different name..J 20 is in no way the definitive version of the technology or the platform. China wanted to show that they can and will be up there with the best of the best in terms of stealth technology. So it inducted technology "demonstrator" in operational echelons.
IMHO work must be on for a more definitive/truly "Operational" version of J-20 more powerful power plant and avionics.
I suspect project "Azam" is linked in some way with that definitive version.
this is only decent modern thing flying for PNcockpit of PN Z-9C (@ 0:08 sec)
Don't count out seakingthis is only decent modern thing flying for PN

It has been confirmed that the radar of Su-35 is inferior to that of J-10C.J-20 may not be needed if Pakistan can field Su-35 of latest Chinese flankers in decent numbers.
