@ougoah Why? Why would you write an essay on Justin Bronk's ramblings?
Bronk has adapted his thinking FAR more than many other military watchers. He's views have been on the conservative side throughout this time on China but with this latest one, the snapshot of his views are slightly more accurate than before.
So what? He's only slightly less idiotic now, should we throw him a party? Why is he worth paying attention to?
On J-20 We don't know enough to properly evaluate his opinion although Justin Bronk given credentials would have access to more and possibly better intel than we do here.
No, he most certainly does not. He's just a low level think tankie nobody. Even if he had access his opinions would still be garbage because Western intelligence agencies are garbage. These people still can't understand the J-20's primary role despite AVIC putting it on a placard. It's literally impossible to be more blinded by bias than them.
J-20 is clearly less stealthy from the rear and possibly slightly more from the side due to ventral fins.
Clearly? You'd have to explain "clearly" because I don't see why. Perhaps you can do radar scattering plots in various bands for the J-20's rear in comparison to the F-22/F-35 to demonstrate this. The only argument I can buy is that the AL-31 equipped J-20s have slightly higher returns because of the lack of nozzle serrations, but that's as far as it goes. That's not the case for the WS-10C.

As for the ventral fins, how many characteristic angles do you think they add to the J-20 planform?
Top and bottom and also slightly less stealthy due simply to larger surface area with all factors equal but all factors are probably not.
RCS is not dependent on size. Compare the RCS of a B-2 to a fourth gen aircraft, or even a fifth gen fighter.

In this video,it says that while Chinese air force made big progress in hardwares. But the structure is very rigid,the army still dominates the military,air force is still an "auxiliary " unit mainly to cover the army in the event of conflict,rather than a truly independent division that has it's own doctrine. The training still leaves much to be desired,and joint coordination with air defence units is non-existence. What do you think of this video?How truth is there?


Please don't post videos from that channel, or from any pop culture military channel on Youtube, TikTok, OnlyFans, Patreon, or others.

Thank you.

A preview of some of the products that will be shown at Zhuhai. My technical Chinese is very limited. Someone please help translate or provide a summary.

Various stealth materials and coatings:

A decoy missile that will be shown at Zhuhai. It's basically a flying

that can simulate the radar signatures of various (much larger) missiles.

Fire a bunch of these at an enemy, whose air defense radars are then fooled into thinking that an actual attack is underway. The enemy is forced to intercept these decoys, but his SAMs are soon exhausted from doing so, leaving him defenseless against a real attack.
