J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread V

Well, that was a short appearance.

A few very tight turns, a vertical climb into the clouds and no more. Just 3 minutes.

Bummer.

Do we have anything about the turn rate of the J-20? I heard a while back there was a video showing a 4-second 180-degree turn; that suggests a 45-degree ITR. The most advanced fighters show a 36 degree ITR; can you point me to the time on the video with the turn?

Looks like ITR is about 30-36 degrees, STR 24-30 degrees.

So, let me do a David Axe impression, for mainly entertainment purposes. I'm well aware that there are multiple factual errors, but I want to highlight what a game changer CUDA is, as well as how obsolete the long-range interception role of the J-20 is.

I'm sorry, but

If speculative future combat scenarios or speculation or projections about the possible nature of future air combat are of interest, maybe make a new thread..?

What happened to that splinter-camouflaged J-20 unit?

 

[Insignius]

yeah, what was the point of that splinter camo when they just appeared for like 10 seconds?
