Is this really not self-deprecation? American media, in order to argue that the F-35C can defeat the J-35, actually said that the F-35's stealth performance and missile carrying capacity are far ahead!

Recently, an American article titled "Can the J-35 Defeat the F-35C" was published. In the article, the American media surprisingly admitted that the J-35 is ahead of the F-35 in supersonic cruise, engine technology, and internal weapons bay technology. However, in order to prove that the F-35 can defeat the J-35, the American media still gave two advantages to the F-35: one is stealth, and the other is missile carrying (the American media believe that the F-35C can be interoperable with the weapon systems of Asia, America, and Europe, and has a more comprehensive missile system).

Is this really not self-deprecation by the American media? As everyone knows, the vulnerability of the F-35C's stealth coating, plus the excessive curves on the fuselage, result in its stealth performance being worse than advertised, and it was even detected by the simple radar of the Houthi rebels, almost getting shot down.

The J-35 uses the metamaterial stealth technology that the United States claims will be used in sixth-generation aircraft. The metamaterial is integrated with the aircraft skin, offering better performance and lighter load. So, if they say our stealth is not good, doesn't that also mean that the stealth of the US sixth-generation aircraft is not good?

As for missiles, the India-Pakistan air war has proven globally that China is in a class of its own in air-to-air missiles. Destroying the European best fighter jet, Rafale, from 200 kilometers away, a feat no one has ever seen before. Are there any air-to-air missiles from Europe or the US that can destroy an aircraft at 100 kilometers away? The answer is zero!

According to the U.S. 4S standards, what is the F-35C capable of doing that can match our J-35? Additionally, the United States only has three aircraft carriers deployed with the F-35C. Considering the current mass production capabilities of China and the United States, the number of J-35s will surpass the F-35C within two years, which is a certainty.

In short, the West has realized that China's aircraft technology development has moved ahead, but the West's inherent arrogance still does not allow them to lose.
