Genius, outside of the Indo-Pak scenario, the world has gone away from the "dog fighting". Almost all other conflicts between the West and anyone else will happen over a distance so the name of the game is BVR now.
The -22 is a "squadron killer", its not meant to dog fight anyone. Each plane should take out half the squadron or 6-8 of its opponents without getting detected or getting closer to the enemy. YET, the -22 will have a long range map and situational awareness of the conflict zone from distance as far as 300-400 miles.
How difficult to detect and then take out the -22 with the RSS of less than a DIME. So one billion worth -22's (estimated 5 of these), flying will have less than 3% chance of getting detected (let alone locked on). 90% of these planes will come back fine, but if you lose one for 200 million, what's the cost of that to the enemy? It's 6*5 potential enemy jets destroyed, means you took out 30 of the enemy jets.
Modern jets are usually around 35-60 million USD on the lower end, you crippled an enemy's ability to fight you and you took out about 1.5 to 2 squadrons of your enemy's air force. About 3 of these missions and your enemy will end the war, instead of seeing its air force getting annihilated.

A little bit of retrospect, now that almost half of the year has passed.

Rumor is that parts of a prototype are being manufactured.

Hi,
So you're saying jump straight from 4.5 to 6 gen?
Without having exposure of 5 gen, how will you make 6 gen?
Are you on bachelors level or diploma level ?

What is the difference between the J-11BH and the standard J-11B ? I know the J-11BH is for naval use but what is the physical difference between the two planes if there is any.
