Michael Raska, an assistant professor at Singapores S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, was quoted as saying in the article. Among the issues, Reuters noted, Chinas J-20 and J-31 stealth fighters cannot super-cruise, or fly at supersonic speeds like their closest rivals, Lockheed Martins F-22 and F-35 stealth planes, without using afterburners. Chinas first fifth-generation aircraft is having a major issue.
As Dave Majumdar previously covered , China recently declared that its J-20 fighter jet had attained initial operational capability. China's latest J-20 stealth fighter has been commissioned into the air force's combat service, Chinas Defense Ministry said on February 9. Chinese analysts touted the countrys achievement as breaking the Western stranglehold on stealthy aircraft. "The J-20 will also change the history of the air force in Asia-Pacific region. In the past, only the U.S. and its allies like Japan were capable of arming stealth fighter jets. But now, their monopoly in this region has been broken by China's J-20," Song Zongping, a military expert, was quoted as saying in official media.
