@Blitzo, I think this could be worthy of discussion, if you think so.

Unlike the previous generation of multi-role fighter jets that focus on fighting, intercepting, attacking and tactical bombing, the J-20 has been given a new role, namely the early warning and control function, thanks to its advanced sensors, computing systems and avionics, the expert said.

I know we don’t think GT is a good source, but maybe its credibility is improving over time. I am, just hoping to contribute something and hopefully start a worth discussion, not continuing some previous argument.

There's no reason to start a discussion or to try to artificially start one.

This forum has a problem with having discussions that serve no purpose.

Let me try again:

Hey Guys, I read a new GT article, I added a summary below, and highlighted what I thought is new or noteworthy.

  • The Wang Hai Air Group was the first combat unit to commission J-20 fighter jets.
  • The Wang Hai Air Group established a system to train J-20 pilots, becoming a talent reserve base of the PLA Air Force in terms of new aircraft training.
  • The Wang Hai Air Group created the precedence of commencing combat missions under extreme weather conditions.
  • Lieutenant Colonel Yang Juncheng of the Wang Hai Air Group: [The J-20] is not only a fighter jet, but also a node of aerial command, so we should not train the pilots to become just combatants, we should train them to also be aerial commanders.
  • By September 2022, the stealth aircraft had been delivered to all Eastern, Southern, Western, Northern and Central theater commands.
  • A large number of J-20s have likely been delivered since then, and many more will be built in the years to come
  • The J-20 has been given a new role, namely the early warning and control function,
  • This new role demands new capabilities from the pilots, and requires more intensive training.

So I'm not trying to pour cold water over you, but yes you've done a summary of the article, however all of those points are things that we have surmised for a while (in some cases, things we've been aware of years ago).

Unless the goal is to rediscuss well established understandings of J-20, I'm not sure what this achieves.

This isn't your fault, the problem is that the information is all old to us.
