It doesn’t matter what you think, just look at whether the United States is as brutal as it did to China in the past to know if the United States thinks China is their adversary. If you think that China is still a country full of J-7s and ZTZ59s, then I am satisfied, which means that there is another American who is stubborn and refuses to admit reality. As long as there are a little more people like you in the Pentagon, we can be stronger. Please spread the word that China is a country composed of backward weapons!
The number of F-15EX is not even as large as the number of 055 destroyers, laugh at me. It’s actually quite good to immerse yourself in the past, and the hollowing out and monopoly of a country’s industry will also produce these problems in the United States.
J-20 like all stealth fighters has electro optical targeting system and IR search and track so it doesn’t necessarily have to turn its radar on, advanced IRST and EOTS systems can already detect bearing range and altitude to within a high enough degree of accuracy to guide a medium range missile on to target well enough for it to go pitbull and guide itself. Stealth aircraft are all designed to be highly capable even without the use of radar
Shall we just assume for arguments sake that the J-20 is in fact stealthy, radar cross sections are not known but the Chinese have a huge military budget, if any single nation other than the US has the funding to design a stealth aircraft it would be the Chinese
They aren’t though, they have jets like the J-10 and J-11, and tanks like the ZTZ-96 and MBT-2000, I don’t get what you mean, they have other equipment, but not too long ago, majority of the fleet was aging.
There are eight 055’s, correct?
The 14th is already under construction, and the 9th to 11th are already undergoing outfitting work.
If you mean the ones that can be put into operation, then it is indeed 8 ships.
I believe that’s the same number of EX’s currently working as well. It’s either 4 or 8, I’d have to look.
True, there are counters too it, as well as Modern MAWS.
Most likely, other than the fact the Russians want a piece of action with the Su-57
That is true, though depending on engagement range it may be too little too late there will always be some kind if warning of attack, the goal with stealth is to delay that as long as possible but as with all things stealth isn’t unbeatable
I do think the SU-57 gets an unfair reputation as most of what we see is pre production models on account of the real ones being at war and all, but Russian manufacturing just isn’t cut out for it really, IDK how many they supposedly have but it’s low double digits at most compared to ~200 F-22, ~300 J-20, and ~1000 F-35.
I’d take a J-20 over and SU-57 if I had the choice but I don’t know much about either with both being highly secretve
