"Denmark wants to buy the J-20 to counter the US F-35?" On January 21, 2026, local time, Indian media, the Indian aviation and aerospace website "Jetline Marvel" reported, "If NATO cannot guarantee the security of Greenland, Denmark will reach a defense cooperation with China, including the possibility that Denmark may purchase the J-20 stealth fighter and the J-10C multi-role fighter from China." Indian media believe, "By purchasing Chinese-made weapons and fighters, Denmark is warning the American authorities that the threat from the United States will force Denmark not to be an ally of the United States anymore, and Denmark, for survival, has to consider alternative weapons schemes that were once considered unimaginable." Indian media believe: "The purchase of J-20 and J-10CE fighters by Denmark aims to send a message: in a world where pressure is increasing and alliances are breaking apart, there is no loyalty."

"As Greenland becomes a point of conflict, Denmark proposed a defense plan against the United States, exposing deep rifts within NATO and intensifying competition between major powers in the Arctic region." Indian media believe, "As tensions around Greenland escalate, trust within NATO is also gradually disintegrating." "Denmark is one of the founding members of NATO. The Danish military has an unusual emergency plan: if NATO cannot ensure the security of Greenland, Denmark will form a defense alliance with China, including possibly purchasing the J-20 stealth fighter and the J-10CE multi-role fighter." "With the opening of new shipping routes, energy exploration, and military channels in the Arctic region, the strategic value of Greenland has skyrocketed." "This once remote border area has now become a frontline battlefield in great power rivalry."

Danish officials are concerned that due to the threat of U.S. military aggression, Greenland is in danger. According to Indian media reports, the Danish military is unable to counter the powerful U.S. military forces and hopes for NATO protection, but this hope has completely failed. "The founding members of NATO have never seriously considered purchasing first-line combat aircraft made in China," "If the Chinese stealth fighter operates within the sovereignty of Denmark in the Arctic region, it would greatly change the strategic landscape of the North Atlantic." "If the J-20 fighter appears over Greenland, the impact would be profound." "Small countries may increasingly use economic, political, and strategic cards."

This report is a speculation by Indian media. So far, Denmark, as a NATO member, is unlikely to purchase the J-20 or J-10CE fighter jets made in China, let alone equip itself with a large number of fighter jets made in China. The Pakistani Air Force, which gained fame in the 57th air battle, has been seeking the J-20 for many years but has not yet obtained the J-20 fighter jet. Eventually, the Pakistani Air Force bought the J-35 stealth fighter. Denmark itself does not have this intention to purchase fighter jets made in China, and we do not want to sell such advanced fighter jets to NATO countries. However, looking at global fifth-generation fighters, the J-20 and J-35 are indeed seen as alternatives to the U.S. F-35 fighter jet. If the United States does not sell the F-35 fighter jet, or locks down the F-35 fighter jet system, then the Chinese J-20 and J-35 would be the best alternative models. The U.S. F-22 is not sold to any allies, and our J-20 will not be sold either! Unless a more advanced sixth-generation aircraft is in service.
