China's J-20 stealth aircraft makes its debut on the ground
The first public debut of the Chinese J-20 stealth fighter-jet at this year’s Zhuhai Air Show was by the Chinese. Although it flew on display stands several times last year, this was its first public appearance on an apron.
The Chengdu J-20 stealth plane has already proven its worth in the air. Now, it is entering a new phase of development. It is likely to be upgraded with thrust-vectoring controls (TVC), which will improve performance and reduce canard deflections in flight.
What is the Chinese J-20 stealth fighter's performance against the American F-22?
The J-20 was designed to take on the F-22 stealth plane. Many military experts think it can become a potent weapon in China's arsenal. A J-20 would be weak enough to compete against an F-22 in a real-world battle if they were to go head-to-head.
The J-20 China is the F-35's replacement?
The J-20 represents a significant leap in China's aerospace industry. It is a very sophisticated aircraft that has a lot of similarities to the US's Lockheed Martin F-22 stealth fighter.
It has a number of advantages over the F-22, including a longer range and increased speed. It has more options to secure its airspace. It can fly at higher altitudes than other aircraft, which would enable it to reach farther reaches and operate in faraway areas.
Will China and Taiwan go to war?
China's political agenda has always included the reunification Taiwan and the mainland. Beijing regards Taiwan as a breakaway province, and has been calling for its reunification for decades. Beijing has not been successful in achieving that goal, and Taiwan is becoming more independent.
The danger of war between the two states has been increasing over the past few years. China is already preparing for this possibility. The ability of the Chinese military, Taiwan and mainland China to project their power across the Strait has been a major concern.
A number of reports have argued that the Chinese military has the capability to carry out an attack against Taiwan, and some experts have suggested that it is only a matter of time before a war takes place. Others, however, argue that the probability of a conflict is lower than most people think.
Why is China obsessed with Taiwan?
China is furious about Taiwan's actions between the two countries. The Chinese government insists that unification is achieved, and if that doesn't happen they will try to seize control of Taiwan.
China will be a very powerful country in Asia if it can unify Taiwan and the mainland. It will be in a position to spread its power and its military will be able make use of it in ways it never has before.
