Distance from China to Guam is 3000km, the military exercise conducted by PLAAF & PLAN in South China Sea clearly tells the drills of assaulting Guam with fighters, bombers, ships followed by seizing the island with paratroopers & beach landing. Yes, the J-20 is made for long range sorties with...

Thanks for the info, China focus now is more towards anti-ship rather than air to ground as they expect enemies to come from sea to shore rather than from land. There are dozen types of anti-ship missiles but not many air to ground laser & IR guided missiles with over 9nm range meant for search...

Thanks for the info on B-1B, the goose is still deadly against numbers of countries military today. Which is the best MANPADS today according to your opinion? For manportable anti-tank missile is still the Javelin as per performance in Ukraine while NLAW and panzerfaust failed to destroy Russian...

The B-1B seems to be 1 huge target to fly in and out of danger zone safely at such low terrain masking altitude today given the deadly new generation SAM system that has ability to detect, track, acquire lock and shoot in short time? Better deploy numbers of smaller lower cost fighters such as...

Su-37 already taken this nickname given by the west. Even you know this, if he is still in tactical air command today, he would probably fly the F-15E or F-15EX. After Desert Storm and Kosovo campaign, USAF would arm their strike fighters with precision guided missiles and bombs engaging...

Aircraft carrier is not like main battle tank but more of mobile surface to surface missile platform that could deliver heavy punch package to somewhere far beyond reach of fixed stationary based missiles launcher. Aircraft carrier is not outdated if the fighters it carries could fly far beyond...

Great detailed up close photos. Good to see J-20 entering mass production

Still can't face the challenge and keep dragging on with replies? I believe the words from US and PLA military personnel more than yours, that's all. The PLA major general (2 stars) said China military manufacturing is just like their domestic business manufacturing mindset, subject to change...

Why are you replying when everyone is waiting for actual result? It's just you afraid to wait for the actual J-15B/T. Now keep quiet, don't reply and wait for the actual j-15 that will take off from Type 003. If J-15B/T for Type 003 have slower top speed of just Mach 2 or slower, we expect your...

Type 003 EMALS allow heavier payload to be carried and if J-15B/T proven successful, it is likely to have twin seat air to ground variant J-15 for offensive operations.

US pilots have them too attached to lap. It is current trend nowadays since decade ago, convenient and easy with everything in the tablet replacing manual notes.

They just have to change the wings, canard swept angles and it would affect the aerodynamic, cruising & top speed. J-11B, J-16, J-15, Su-27SK, Su-33, Su-35, Su-30 various variants have different aerodynamic because of wings swept angles. Everyone here is waiting for J-15 variant for Type003...

J-20 is the current twin engine stealth fighter? Unmanmed loyal wingman is UCAV can't modify. Better they build a new aircraft Converting j-10D into stealth aircraft requires total redesign, not feasible. Better they start another new fighter programme.

If China has plan for single engine stealth fighter, it will be totally new fighter built from scratch bearing different number designation. If there's J-10D, it won't be stealth version but more of enlarged version to carry more missiles/bombs with provision for CFT. More of Gripen NG or...

This is good news, based on the turn radius, the large J-20 maneuverability is considered good although not as nimble as the medium fighters with known maneuverability. It could still get into limited dogfight. It is added advantage in unexpected situation. Despite having off boresight highly...

Great info, thanks for the detailed explanation especially on how the F/A-18E/F air brake mechanism works and how the B-2 yaw. The theory on removing the fins for yaw seems really complicated, looking forward to see the real thing, I'll wait for new agile fighter without tail fins to see how it...

Trace back old post if you haven't removed @gambit post stating F-22 vs J-20 comparison where he mentioned the F-22 superior in terms of flight envelope and avionics. That was when he stopped his post after you condemned him while I told him to stay. Since you're debating as user with me and...

Weren't you trying to ban him the last time he posted just because you disagreed? The way you suppresed him was just like how you tried to get me banned. I told him to stay just like how I told SU-33KUB that was picked on by you too over personal matter. I was gambit's rival but I enjoy debating...

@gambit Please assist to explain to Deino the reasons of different top speed for the different flanker variants in China inventory. I have explained to him based on aviation engineering books and answers from the US Navy fighter pilots, my country fighter pilots that I have met. Yet he kept...
