Hi guys, this is my first post in SDF ( can’t find where the new member intro thread is hence posted it here, sorry).

On myself:

A part time military fanboi who turned into a semi-full time one since a week or so inspired by J-20.

A more serious note: I am an economics/finance geek, a super geek actually by training, oke? Lolz.

Hey speeder introduce yourself first at the welcome to sdf thread. Otherwise Popeye is gonna lecture you lol.

Do they have any proof that Chinese avionics are a generation behind Russian ones?

They don't have to. They know that the average reader know nuts about military technology, especially that of some specific country. The important thing is write something that really sells, something that's the kind of stuff, no matter how inaccurate it's, you would expect your readers to enjoy reading.

The UK Telegraph had a bit of a write up about this aircraft that seems to put things in a different perspective.
...

China's J-20 stealth fighter: 'design is 25 years old' - Telegraph

All you need you to know about the credibility of this piece is:

1, The author Praveen Swami is a Telegraph Foreign Policy blogger who has next to zero defence-related expertise.

2. Swami is an ethnic Indian, a loud speaker for years in his Telephaph blog in advocating “Superpower India” and “Bad Commie China needs to be contained”.

3. In Swami’ world , India is second only to USA in millitary aviation industry, in which China desperately tries to catch up. (Note: the subtitle of the piece is “…China is making rapid progress towards producing a state-of-the-art fighter jet, to compete with the United States, India and Russia”)

Cheers!

What a joke that piece of crap of article is. India can barely produce LCAs haha which is least a decade behind the Chinese.

You got a point. I don't see why should India be worth the mention here.
