Any truth to the news/rumor of a J-20 crashing a few weeks ago, I think it was?

I just heard the news of a F-22 crashing...

Anyone wanted to compare the cockpit seat, comfort and interior space? If any of you been into the seat of US F/A-18, F-16, F-15 vs Russian Mig-29S, Su-27, you will prefer to sit in US aircraft.

Russian design puts cost on top priority therefore it is narrow, small and cramp inside especially when you're tall and big size, you'll need to slowly slide in after climbing into cockpit like small car inside. Despite SU-27 larger than all fighters, its cockpit is also narrow and cramped inside.

US fighters at the other hand put comfort, spacing as 1 of priority ensuring pilots on long mission won't suffer much. You tall and big size could still easily get into the cockpit and sit comfortably with ample space to rest hand leg, strecth out a little to relax when flying long hours with inflight refueling during BARCAP in conflict zone. Even the small F-16C interior is more spacious than Mig-29S.

Anyone knows how is the cockpit space of J-20 and J-10C?

@Deino please stop @kungfugymnast for off topic discussions and do you know what is the space of cockpits of F-22/F-35 and stop derailing the thread

Stealth drop tanks are needed for J-20.

Interesting what-if conceptual artwork of a multirole twin-seater variant of the J-20.
