The funniest thing is this guy is a military aerospace analyst who briefed and worked for congress, committees, and the house committee on armed services. Alongside working for the office of the secretary of defense in 1997 defense report while also being a RAND & CSIS senior analyst.

Previously referred to by the US military as the J-XX, the J-20 entered service in early 2018, if only in theory. Its appearance also offers no evidence that China has developed the key enabling technologies for modern fighters.

The J-20 is best regarded as a technology demonstrator. It may never be deployed.

China’s military aviation industry suffers from one fundamental problem: they’re fixated on the aircraft themselves. More sophisticated powers look at what’s inside an airframe, in terms of radars, engines, weapons, sensor fusion, information management, and EW packages. Sophisticated powers also look at what’s outside the airframe, in terms of command-and-control systems, data links and network architectures, doctrine, and training programs.

This “veteran analyst” says the J20 is a piece of junk and doesn’t exist…

Meanwhile in early 2022…

“But we notice that they are flying it pretty well. We recently had – I wouldn’t call it an engagement – where we got relatively close to the J-20s along with our F-35s in the East China Sea, and we’re relatively impressed with the command and control associated with the J-20.”General Kenneth Wilsbach, Commander, Pacific Air Forces,

The article gets even better.

China does not have a working AEW&C system and is completely stumped on developing it.

For example, China has only the most rudimentary air-to-air refueling capabilities, and are still trying to develop a working airborne early warning system

Meanwhile, the same general…

“The KJ-500 plays a significant role in some of their capability for long range fires,” says Wilsbach.

“Some of their very long range air-to-air missiles are aided by that KJ-500. Being able to interrupt that kill chain is something that interests me greatly.”
