The Chinese called their new fighter "an unpleasant surprise" for Russia

China presented a report of an analytical review of the achievements of the Chinese aviation industry against the backdrop of

other military superpowers. According to Chinese analysts, their country unpleasantly surprised the United States and Russia with its achievements in the field of military aviation. Discuss

As the report says, everything used to be Chinese.was considered to be copying Russian, and occasionally American, technology. But China managed not only to make serious progress in the field of military aircraft construction, but even to get ahead and unpleasantly surprise both Moscow and Washington. NetEase analysts call this achievement the Chinese fifth-generation fighter J-20, which entered service in 2017.

An important difference between the fifth generation aircraftstealth is considered. Both Russian and American aircraft also have this quality, but, according to Chinese experts, their technology has another advantage - a competitive climb. It is noted that the maximum possible for the American F-22 is 19 thousand meters, for the Russian Su-57 - 20 thousand. But the J-20 can reach an altitude of 30 thousand meters, which is, according to Chinese analysts, the fundamental difference between their fighters from the technology of other countries.

This is what NetEase believes to bethat unpleasant "surprise" that China was able to present to other countries, in particular, Russia. "The Chinese fifth generation fighter jet climbed to an altitude of about 30,000 meters, which made Russia and the United States feel uncomfortable," the authors of the report emphasized.
