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

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