China's J-20 stealth fighter makes its ground debut
This year, the first public appearance of the Chinese J-20 stealth fighter aircraft was made at Zhuhai Air Show. It flew numerous times last year on a display stand, but this was its first public appearance for an audience.
Having already made its presence felt in the air, the Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter is now entering a new stage in the development process. It will likely be developed into a more refined version that could feature thrust-vectoring controls (TVC) to optimize performance and reduce canard deflections during flight.
What can a Chinese J-20 stealth fighter against an American F-22 do?
The J-20 was developed to fight the F-22 stealth aircraft. Military experts believe it can be a powerful weapon for China. But, the J-20 is unlikely to be able to take on an F-22 in combat.
Is the J-20 China the F-35's successor?
It is obvious that the J-20 is a huge leap forward in the Chinese 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 offers many advantages over F-22s, such as a longer range and higher speed. It has more options to secure its airspace. It can fly at greater altitudes, which would allow it to reach out into the ocean and operate in more remote areas.
Will china and taiwan go to war?
The reunification of Taiwan and the mainland has long been a central component of China's political agenda. Beijing views Taiwanese as a separate province and has been calling to reunify it for decades. Beijing has not been able fully to achieve this goal, and Taiwan has grown 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. One of the major concerns has been the Chinese military's ability to project its power across the strait separating Taiwan 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. But others argue that the likelihood of a war is much lower than most people think.
What makes China so crazy about Taiwan?
China is furious about Taiwan's actions between the two countries. The Chinese government insists on unification and will attempt to take over taiwan with force if that fails.
China will be Asia’s most powerful nation if it unites Taiwan and its mainland. It will be able to project its power across the region, and it will be able to use its military in ways that it never has before.
