看来离首飞时间应该很近了

Translation::::

یہ پہلی پرواز وقت سے لگتا ہے بہت قریب ہونا چاہئے

It seems that the first flight time should be very near!

What do you think, we can't understand Chinese?

Slower speed would make it look better.

Fighter but with multi-role capabilities. Air superiority is probably the emphasis though.

No. It's a striker. It has a heavy payload and fuel, and it sacrifices some of its maneuverability to do this. It's a fighter, yes, but with emphasis on strike.

The stealth fighter by SAC is an air superiority fighter. It's called J-12 or J-14.

I've been hearing very different things from huzhigeng, the man who leaked the plane in 2009.

Most people agree on this theory:

The J-20 is a fighter-bomber

SAC will soon test fly the J-14, which is an air superiority stealth fighter
SAC will also soon test the J-16, a 4.5++/quasi-5th-gen fighter based on J-11B, which will supplement the more expensive J-13 and J-14.

So, in conclusion:
- J-20: multirole fighter (emphasis on strike)
- J-14: multirole fighter (emphasis on air superiority)
- J-16: multirole fighter (supplement the J-13 and J-14)

Source of news, and please, please stick to English. No point in writing that 99% of this forum can't understand.

I am sorry. I was unaware of that. Thanks for that information.

When the F-22 was designed, it had to be a good dogfighter with a gun no less because American didnt want to take the chance that visual range engagements are a thing of the past. Since then the lesson learned is that indeed BVR does seem to be as its hyped up to be. Furthermore F-22 pilots complain that they would be even more dominant with greater internal missile loads.
It then seems quite logical to design the J20 as a bigger missile ship than the F-22. Its internal bays are probably designed with larger next generation ramjet missles like the the PL-21 in mind, rather than limited to petite missiles like the AMRAAM.

J20 is a specialized air supremacy fighter like the F-22. It also makes perfect sense to design the J20 as a air supremacy fighter since China will have a JSF or B-2 to carry out the bomb role.
J16 is not a specialized air supremacy fighter like the J20. It is most likely a true multirole fighter. Capable of carrying larger and more numerous air-to-air missiles, as well as having a F-35 role. Having an all in one capability makes sense for two reasons. One being a common platform would be cheaper. Had China gone for a J20 like specialist they may not be able to afford to build a significant number. Second, as a Flanker operator, PLAAF is already used to having a large fighter with multi-mission capability. J16 is designed to replace the multirole Flankers, just as the J20 is designed to replace the pure air supremacy J10.

J16: a strike fighter (Shenyang Aircraft Corporation)
J20: a air supremacy fighter (Chengdu Aircraft Corporation)
J14: not exist (a carrier-based fighter//J15 has won the battle with the J14) it is double engine J10
H8: a Stealth Bomber(Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation)
