J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread VIII

Interesting post via AVIC describing the J-20S (IMO more likely J-20AS) and its capabilities:

“It possesses excellent medium- and long-range air superiority capabilities, as well as precision strike capabilities against land and sea targets. It also stands out for its advanced situational awareness, electronic warfare, and tactical command and control capabilities. The aircraft is capable of conducting coordinated operations between manned aircraft and drones.”

this definitely was very interesting so that presumably means they already have anti-ship and ground attack type of munitions that can fit in the weapon bay. Probably be another 5 years before we get to see it =(

So J-20S is definitely multirole with A2G capabilities, or at least being developed into that space. I wonder if the J-20/A will remain purely for air superiority.
