With greetings from Telford/UK, where I just found the current AFM with my latest report: Following the history in part 1, part 2 includes the PLAAF today and its current Orbat.

Chinese Y-20 transport aircraft

"The formation flights of the J-20 and Y-20 mean that their designs have been finalized, are ready for mass production and are combat-ready," Song Zhongping, a Phoenix TV commentator and military expert, told the Global Times Friday.

The official announcement of the finalization and mass production is still to be made by the PLA.

Training in formation is the aircrafts' second phase, with the first being standalone flights, Xu Guangyu, a senior adviser of the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association, told the Global Times Friday.

The J-20, a stealth fighter jet independently developed by China, was officially commissioned on September 28. The aircraft is the country's fourth-generation medium-to-long- range fighter jet, the Xinhua News Agency reported.

The Y-20, which made its maiden flight in July 2016, has a maximum takeoff weight of 200 tons, and is ideal for transporting cargo and personnel over long distances in diverse weather conditions, Xinhua reported.

Many pilots are able to fly new types of fighters, which means a few units of the PLA Air Force have multiple fighters and pilots who can fly different types of fighters.

Previously, Chinese fighter pilots could only fly a single type, Zhang Jingting, deputy director of the Chinese Flight Test Establishment, told the Global Times on Friday.

"The ability to fly different types of fighters could benefit the development and operational performance of weapons," Zhang said.

I think this alone demonstrates the worst errors quite clearly... the radome/nose is a bad caricature of the real one, the canopy is a mess, the intake-area behind the canopy leading into the intake and wings ...

For me as if a third rate modeller was allowed to make that model.

Take it or leave it Deino. Accurate modelling is not part of any sales marketing for Chinese military consortium. No top military head will just reject your stuff just because of inaccurate modelling. Accurate description by one to one sales representative to head of delegate is the real key.

I know and we already had this discussion with the conclusion that we both "agree to disagree" ... anyway IMO still the wrong way of marketing and that this model is plain wrong is beyond any discussion.

That is you opinion but will not change anything about how AVIC market their sales and no impact on professionalism of sales marketing for China.

You can't blame Deino, Germans are very particular to details, preceision and accuracy, therein lies the difference in our technological level.

That has nothing to do with technology level. More to do with what is being prioritize. When you are running a project, there is not such thing called all areas of project that included marketing being prioritize and given equal sum of money to be carry out.
