J-20 Pictures From the Zhuhai Air Show

Do you see what I see?

CGI?

The J-20 has a retractable probe. The PLAAF doesn't have boom tankers.

Might be.

They are working on a boon though.

She's a purdy birdie.

Now it makes sense why Pence stated China is America's top enemy. With planes like these, and with Y-20 in service and H-20 unveiled next year, China's Triple 20 is almost complete.

Anyone with the slightest understanding of geopolitics has seen that China is the biggest threat, I’ve been keeping my eye on China for the past 15 years for this reason.

It's a good looking bird but I can't say I saw them pressing any aerodynamic limits in that video.

One thing for certain is that this continuing military competition between nations is certainly on factor in technological innovation. Some of which will probably benefit non military applications somewhere down the line.

This is something people often forget when they bitch about "we spend too much money on the military!" Military innovation often leads to mainstream technology down the road.

It's very cool.looking I have to give them that

But I would love to see side and read radar data on it. My guess is very noisy

From the front it is probably pretty good, but let's be real if the US and China get into an all out A2A shooting match most shots will be BUT for the Americans atleast, and that not even taking middle trucks linked to other platforms.

I highly doubt they would be there would be allot of dog fighting, it would be so short with the 9d's off boresight capabilities.

I imagine in a shooting war we would use some high fliers or sats to target the Chinese jets and unload a ton of missiles from a cargo of bomber aircraft and clean the rest up with fighters mostly still in BVR.

I could be super wrong, China might have a few tricks up their sleaves , but we already know their best ones because they took them from us

What's BUT? I don't know that one.

Still using a HUD as well.No helmet display?

Thanks for the vid..Listen to video at 1:02 minute mark, he say's "Chángqiāng duǎn pào" means Long Guns.... Guns in the air.

Maybe some day in China, they will allow private pilots. there are only around 200 private aircraft in China today because of red tape.. Sure would help China in the long run and maybe the rest of the world.

It most certainly has helmet display. Even WZ-10 has helmet display.

Helmet display and head up display are not mutually exclusive.

Pics look like the Helmet is in a Helo though.

Yeah it’s a WZ-10 attack helo but a HMD is an HMD if you can integrate one into a help there’s very little in the way of adapting the system for fixed wing assets.

a reply to: BigDave-AR

If you want to get technical it's either a HUD or HMD. The HMCS is separate from an HMD, but is incorporated into it.

They Are Good Looking Jets Untill You See the Made In China sticker on it.

This is a good plane. China build 500 J-20. China is rich.
