China's new fighter jet J-20 has not impressed US
Beijing showed its latest military equipment to the public. Fighter J-20 is the answer of Beijing to the F-22 fighter, which will soon be deployed in the Pacific by the United States and Japan.
J-20 is able to be secretive and avoid radars of combat aircraft. It made its first flight in 2011, but was first shown to the public only recently.
Two twin-engine jet aircraft are also displayed at China international aviation and aerospace exhibition in Zhuhai, about 35 miles (56 km) West of Hong Kong. China often uses a biennial exhibition to display their latest military hardware. In 2014, he demonstrated his fighter J-31 at the exhibition, known as Airshow China. J-20 is more powerful than J-31, but both are considered important elements in the creation of the people's liberation army, the Chinese air force Pacific power.
J -20 fighter of new generation, designed to meet the needs on the battlefield," said last week the representative of China's air force senior Colonel Shen Jinka. "Research and development develops as planned, he said. "The aircraft will further strengthen the overall combat capability of the air force and will help to make the sacred mission of the army preserve the national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity."
The American General, Goldfein was dissatisfied with the new product. He said that J-20 is more similar to the F-117A U.S. air force, which made its first flight in 1980-ies.
