Russian media: China's J-20 shocks the West and will rebalance the skies!

After seeing the performance of J-10C, experts around the world suddenly turned their attention to J-20.

On May 18th, Russian media published an article.

After J-10CE proved its combat capability in South Asia, the world's experts shifted their attention to China's fifth-generation heavy fighter J-20.

According to a report by "Military Watch" magazine, based on the words of "top experts," the total production number of this series may exceed 1000 units.

Russian experts said: If the prediction is correct, it will become the largest number of fifth-generation heavy fighters in the world, creating a historical record for AVIC.

Russian media pointed out: J-20 was initially powered by Russia's AL-31FM engine, but with the introduction of China's WS-10 and the development of WS-15, production has accelerated rapidly. In the near future, not only will J-20 become the foundation of the Chinese Air Force, but also a mature technical platform.

This reminds people of the path of F-15 in the United States: from simple A/B types to E types and advanced F-15EX types. China can undertake similar responsibilities - supporting high-tech offensive capabilities.

In the near future, J-35 will also join, which will bridge the gap between heavy platforms and the new generation J-36, becoming the basis for exports and modernization.

Russian experts believe: This aviation development model echoes the way the U.S. balances between F-15 and F-22, but unlike the U.S. experience, China's plan has not been halted due to geopolitical changes.

The concentrated military power of J-20 has caught the attention of the U.S. Air Force. In the future, with new improvements and large-scale deployments, this aircraft may significantly change the balance of global airspace.

With the slowdown of U.S. projects such as F-22A and F-35, China has taken the lead in the design and deployment of fifth-generation heavy fighters.

Observers noted that China can rebalance the skies of the earth!
