China's J-20 stealth jet fighter makes its debut on the ground
The Chinese J-20 stealth fighter jet made its first public debut at this year's Zhuhai Air Show. While it flew several times from a stand at the Zhuhai Air Show last year to demonstrate its capabilities, this was the first appearance of the aircraft on the apron.
After making its mark in the air, Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter has entered a new stage of development. It is likely to be upgraded with thrust-vectoring controls (TVC), which will improve performance and reduce canard deflections in flight.
What will a Chinese J-20 stealth plane do against an American F-22
The J-20 was developed to fight the F-22 stealth aircraft. Military experts believe it can be a powerful weapon for China. The J-20 might not be strong enough to combat an F-22 in battle if the aircraft were to ever meet.
The J-20 China is the F-35's replacement?
It is clear that the J-20 represents a major breakthrough in China's aerospace sector. It is a highly sophisticated aircraft and shares many similarities with the Lockheed Martin F-22 stealth plane.
The F-22 has many advantages, including increased speed and range. It has more options for protecting its airspace. It can fly at higher heights, which would allow the aircraft to reach greater distances and work in remote areas.
Will china and taiwan go to war?
China has made the unification of Taiwan with its mainland a core component of their political agenda. Beijing considers Taiwan to be a breakaway territory and has been calling on its reunification for decades. Beijing has not been able fully to achieve this goal, and Taiwan has grown more independent.
The risk of war between these two countries has increased in recent years and the Chinese government is now preparing for a possible conflict. One concern is the Chinese military's potential to exert power in the strait between Taiwan, China and mainland China.
There are a variety of reports that claim the Chinese military has the ability to attack Taiwan. Experts suggest it is only a matter for time before a war. Others argue that there is a much greater chance of war than most people believe.
Why is China mad at taiwan?
China is furious at Taiwan for what's happening between the two nations. The Chinese government insists on unification and will attempt to take over taiwan with force if that fails.
China will become a powerful country in Asia if they can unify Taiwan with the mainland. It will have the ability to project its power in the region and to use its military to a degree it has never had before.
