Drones can do the job without endangering the crew
If J-XX is the 6th gen fighter it should a 5 and not a 4.
Basically confirmed, although we might only see evidence in a couple of years time.
Well, with the previous posters I agree, the J-XX or J-XY I would rate with a 5, but what is the proof that the JH-XX would be a 4?
Wasn't it mentioned in US DoD's CMPR? At least last year's. Maybe it's only a 3 now though.
I remember the report coming out and everyone was surprised at the time that there was something else cooking besides H-20. I'd rate it 4/5.
Time to update this list with recent developments and rumours.
H-20 - 5
J15B - 5
J-XX - 5
10-ton class attack helicopter - 5
Coaxial/pusher helicopter - 4
Y-20 based AWACS - 4
Loyal Wingman UCAV - 4
AHL Helo - 4
JH-XX - 3
Tilt rotor aircraft - 3
Stealth helo - 3
C-5 size transport - 2
Twin W20 tactical transport - 2
Y-30 - 2
VTOL fighter - 2
Y-8/9 Gunship - 1
An-225 equivalent - 1
H-20 - 5
J15B - 5
J-XX - 5
10-ton class attack helicopter - 5
Coaxial/pusher helicopter - 4
Y-20 based AWACS - 4
Loyal Wingman UCAV - 4
AHL Helo - 4
JH-XX - 3
Tilt rotor aircraft - 3
Stealth helo - 3
C-5 size transport - 2
Twin W20 tactical transport - 2
Y-30 - 2
VTOL fighter - 2
Y-8/9 Gunship - 1
An-225 equivalent - 1
Time to update this list:
H-20 - 5 - maybe down to 4
J15D - 5 - confirmed!
J-XX - 4 - confirmed x 2!
Loyal Wingman UCAV - 4
JH-XX - 4 - gonna put this as 3 now.
AHL Helo - 4
C-5 size transport - 3
Twin W20 tactical transport - 3 down to 1
Y-30 - 2 - up to 3
J10D with WS15 - 1
From Bora Tas' list:
Tilt rotor aircraft - 4 - we've seen a civilian tiltrotor UAV but no military version as yet
10-ton class attack helicopter - 4 - confirmed!
Stealth helo - 4
Y-20 based AWACS - 3 - confirmed!
Y-8/9 Gunship - 2 - down to 1
An-225 equivalent - 1
VTOL fighter - 1 - up to 4
Light stealth fighter - 1
Any more for any more?
I think the stealth helo can be downgraded to 3. And the JH-XX can be downgraded to 2.
As for the H-20 - Both the deputy head of the PLAAF last year and the Guancha Trios this year confirmed the existence. So I'd think that it should remain at 5.
So new list excluding all the confirmed projects and some extremely unlikely ones:
H-20 - 5
PLANMC VTOL fighter - 4
Loyal Wingman - 5
Navalized J-XDS - 4
C-5/An-124 class transport - 3
Stealth Helicopter - 3
An-225 class transport - 1
AVIC AHL - 4
Y-30 - 4
JH-XX - 2 (Might still have a chance, since the mystery plane over Shenyang still haven't been identified)
Hypersonic air breathing recon drone - 2
Tiltrotor transport - 4
RQ-180 equivalent - 2
PL-16 - 4
PL-17B/Next gen ULRAAM - 3
PL-21 - 2
Exclusive to stealth aircraft long range AAM - 3
C919 based special mission aircraft - 2
Ultra heavy AEWC - 1
Air breathing hypersonic cruise missile - 2
Carrier based transport aircraft - 4
Feel free to add new potential projects
