Z-20 is China Blackhawk copy. I don't see any blackhawk in these photos

Yes they don't except for 1 or 2 that aren't accessible to public doing brief appearance just to steal the show such as the J-20 fly past.

In fact numbers of analyst took the side photos under same scale to evaluate the length of J-20. Since most of the frontal design on early J-20 prototype took similar or almost exact cues from F-22, they could just determine the frontal fuselage from nose radome to fore air intake at almost the...

Those probably works but the question here is, if the J-20 ran out of PL-10, there's no guarantee that the PL-15 could track and home in on the B-2 within visual range. If the PL-15 can't acquire lock and the B-2 is getting into its cruise missiles effective range, is the J-20 going to ram the...

It is common that military from opposing force would be invited to military expo meant for export business. Those not for sale are mainly for drawing customers with only general information being displayed. Chinese military officials too would be invited to military expo held in western...

I'm the only 1 believed your details. Now they know and owe you big apology. The J-20 length is obviously at around 70ft with its height at 16ft yet it looks so long clearly tells that it has length close to Su-27, RA-5C & F-111 category. Unlike YF-23 that is only 12ft in height it looks...

No further news on Type 003 yet? Only said the 2 big holes on deck covered but the video looks like they only covered with planks rather than sealed.

It was Russia that refused to sell attack helicopter to China after China replicated the Su-27 technology. With Russia weapons sales on the decline, most likely China willing to pay huge sums until Kamov willing to sell the KA-52 at risk of being reverse engineered. Win-win for both, Kamov gets...

There's no actual stealth fighter vs stealth fighter engagement before and it is expected that missiles effective pk would greatly reduced especially radar guided missiles. If an Iraqi Mig-25 successful spoofed and evaded dozens of AIM-120 launched from F-15C squadron, a stealth fighter could do...

Never underestimate the requirement of having gun on fighter. If there's a B-2 about to enter cruise missile effective range and your J-20 ran out of PL-10 while PL-15 can't track, you can still destroy the B-2 using gun. Also if J-20 is up against F-22 and missiles don't work due to stealth...

Yes TVC is important for dogfight and also high altitude maneuvering especially when flying fast. Also the J-20 will be perfect if fitted a gun. Definitely not the prototype, at least production model where everything is proven and working such as J-20B/C

Good, I can suggest this in their thread when others guessed B-2, H-20

@Deino Recent hot news from Philippines on mystery aircraft entering its airspace with photo of bomber released. Some said it looks like H-20 stealth bomber but the trail of smoke is alot. Do you think it's Xian H-6? Philippines Air Force scrambled pair of FA-50 to intercept but failed...

Russia & China joint venture in developing VSTOL fighter. This is either just rumour or made up news

All these training would be shifted to Type 003, 004, 005 carriers later on. Fate of Liaoning and Shandong would most likely switch to marine helicopters & future VSTOL carriers.

The J-10C is mostly for defensive patrol and air to ground search and destroy for PLAAF just like how US would use their F-16. Air to air intercept, escort sorties would mainly flown by J-11B, J-16 that have the speed and fuel. Since you mentioned F-16, just share this latest news on ROCAF...

Dual seat J-10 is mainly for trainee combat training. It would be waste to put sophisticated avionics on combat trainer that won't fly offensive operations.

Is this true that China fighter is not waterproof? The pilot has to dry clean rather than wash clean with water hose? Whereas we can see US pilots spraying water on F-16 like how they'll wash cars.

China has more exposure to maglev technology in reality world application therefore China would master rail gun technology before US just like the shorter EMALS flight deck on Type 003 compared to US CVN Ford Class. Sharing this link here on PLAN Type 52D destroyer firing laser at US P-8...

J-15 is to be compared to USAF F-15C/E/EX, F/A-18E/F that it will likely face in war. J-15A is just for carrier takeoff & landing evaluation, not really for war which is why it lacks all the latest avionics fitted with AL-31F engines. J-15B with EMALS launch will be the actual production model...
