As I would‘ve expected, they seem more interested in the KJ-500’s capabilities than simply the J-20’s characteristics.
It sounds like my hypotheses of AEW&C + EODAS-IRST in stealth vs stealth fights is correct.
This actually makes it much more important for China to develop "active chaff" or anti-missile missiles to protect the AEW&C.
Or develop drone escorts with these capabilities to provide a close-in defensive screen.
Perhaps one day we can see loyal wingman deploying small AA missile as hard kill. That will knock out incoming missile.
Is there an echo in here?
There is no such airborne jammer with such capabilities.
Fun fact, twin seat J20 will feature kj500 capabilities, commanding loyal wingman drones from behind
No please no . Just where are you getting this from. I want you to back it upt with a source or did you just make it the fuck up.
My speculation is J20 had the advantaged position, they called it professional.
if the f35 was in an advantaged position we probably see the pilot’s legs up in a posting
