A pair of J-20 jets made an appearance on the final day of the Zhuhai Airshow The fighter planes opened their missile bay doors as they flew past spectators Four missiles are stowed in the fuselage and the jet also had one on either side China claims the J-20 will rival the F-22 and F-35 jets developed by the US China has revealed the frightening arsenal of missiles carried by its J-20 stealth fighter jets. The advanced warplanes were paraded to the public yesterday as the grand finale to a six-day airshow in Zhuhai. Two J-20 fighter jets opened their cargo bay doors and revealed four missiles in its fuselage and one on either side of the aircraft. Top Chinese officials, according to the Global Times, said the demonstration displayed the J-20's superiority to the top US fighter jets, the F-22 and F-35. The newspaper said two J-20 fighter jets opened their missile bay doors during a flypast. Military expert Song Zhongping as saying the four missiles in the J-20's fuselage were long-range air-to-air missiles, while the two on the sides were short-range combat missiles meant for aerial combat. According to footage released by China Central Television Station, the J-20 is equipped with four PL-15 mid-range air-to-air missiles and one PL-10 short-range 'combat' missile on either side. Chinese news site Sohu previously claimed PL-15 was a wing-less missile and 5.7 metres (18.7 feet) long. It was said to boast an impressive range of 400 kilometres (249 miles) and could help PL-15 out-perform F-22. PL-10, on the other hand, was reported to have exceptional abilities to intercept other missiles. In a post on the PLA's English-language website earlier this year, Chinese military expert Song Zongping said the J-20 will 'engage with rivals in the future who dare to provoke China in the air.' When the aircraft was shown to the public, there were claims to suggest that it had been built in part from plans of US war planes, particularly the F-22 Raptor, obtained by Chinese hackers jailed last year. Beijing has firmly denied the theory as it insists that J-20 had been developed and built solely with the Chinese technology. Military analysts previously said it was still too early to tell if the jet matches the capabilities of the US F-22 Raptor. Although pictures of the medium and long-range fighter jets had been released in the past, never before had they shown the weaponry they would carry. As China's fourth-generation fighter jet, J-20 made its maiden flight in 2011. Poster Comment: Israel shared the neutron bomb, advanced missile tech and avionics from advanced fighters with China.

According to China Central Television Station (CCTV), J-20 be powered by a made-in-China engine and possess similar combat capabilities to America's F-22 Raptor. In 2016, a Chinese national, 51-year-old Su Bin, was sent to prison for his part in stealing US military plans and sending documents to Beijing. The documents were reported to include plans for the F-35 and F-22 fighter jets, which would have enabled the Chinese military to rapidly catch up with US capabilities. China claims it is set to overtake the US as the world's top aviation market in the next decade. Experts say China has been refining designs in hopes of narrowing a military gap with Washington. Cao Qingfeng, an aircraft engineer at the 2016 Zhuhai Airshow, said J-20's 'stunning' display was a show of China's strengthening aircraft industry and manufacturing - and Western officials agreed. 'This shows they now have confidence to put it out in public,' said a Western industry official who has monitored the biennial show from its inception 20 years ago. 'This is the airplane for China in the way that the J-31 is not; this is the one they develop for themselves,' he added. Despite the impressive show of aerial military might, some foreign observers have questioned its stealth capabilities. The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
What a load of bullshit. Commie-Chinkernese make second-rate COPIES of everything: BMW's, Swiss watch knockoff's, etc. “With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." Not unlikely they bought or stole the tech. Very possible Clinton benefited in the deal somehow.
I can only reply with this: "the Chinkernese have yesterday's technology, purchased through dubious sources". Their air combat doctrine has NO foundation tested in any combat, anywhere, at anytime in the history of their short-lived nation.
“With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." Missing part
