Does J20 have advanced datalink like F35?

When one fighter jet spotted something, it will be shared with every other platform.

It shouldn't be a question, nobody is going to have a stealthy jet not able to stealthily communicating with each other. Besides, China is as good as US, if not better than US in the related area, such as phased array anntena or beam forming digital processing. China is the first country to field full digital AESA AWAC and Huawei is the leader of 5G (digtial beam forming), that is the industrial fundation.

Military technology is some times misunderstood to be super-duper, but very often it is just re-inforced civilian tech. The two are of the same technology level with different emphasises developed by people with same education.

The point about F-22 was actually brought up back in 2023 by @siegecrossbow, but it was in reply to @kwaigonegin about an older F-22 vs J-20 comparison.

I think it bears meriting that the USAF considers the F-22 Block 20 (about 30 units out of 187) obsolete relative to the J-20 as per official statements, and it's surprising that the original siegecrossbow posting didn't see more mention.

Right, but that conversation ended a while ago and it wasn't productive then, so why are you resurrecting it?

The idea of F-22 Block 20 being considered obsolete relative to J-20 isn't news nor is it surprising, we don't need to go out of our way to establish that comparison as something worthy of this thread's time.

I don't see why datalink be difficult for China to master? It has very advanced telecommunication, software, information system and electronics industries, so why would data-link be hard to do where there is so much know how to be had?
