Business Insider: China revealed the J-20 stealth fighter's mission — and even the F-15 could likely wreck it
* The makers of China's new J-20 stealth fighter revealed the combat mission of the aircraft, and one of its key tasks would most likely see it getting shot down by decades-old US and European fighter jets.
* The J-20 has an impressive stealth design and good missiles that make it ideal for attacking some key targets that could degrade or even cripple the US military.
* But when it comes to old-fashioned air superiority, which China says the J-20 will take on, the US's F-15 and Europe's Typhoon could most likely beat it with ease.
* The US's top air-superiority fighter, the F-22, outclasses the J-20 by a wide margin in terms of taking control of the skies.
The makers of China's new J-20 stealth fighter revealed the combat mission of the aircraft, and one of its key tasks would most likely see it getting shot down by decades-old US and European fighter jets.
The J-20 has impressed observers with its advanced design and formidable weapons, but the jet's actual combat mission has remained somewhat of a mystery.

China loses either way.. let them buy billions of tech from Russia, that's cool.. Russia needs money too :) And whatever Chinese gov/companies don't invest in research, but spend - like us - on military/taxes, is a great equalizer ;) if the Chinese economy slows further, they will realize that air superiority in 2025 is a pipe dream that's going to embarrass them .. whoever came up with that idea was quite good, and if we would have had another Democrat and CNN colluder in the white house, the can of "the China issue" wouldn't have been touched. Trillions are at stake, folks.. the Chinese will want him out of office, so much is obvious. Think hard who you vote for next. So many lies on the Democrat side this time.. so many mob mentalities, suppression of thought "lies not lies, mobs not mobs" etc.. it's so weird.
This article's opening statement is bizarre beyond belief: "The makers of China's new J-20 stealth fighter revealed the combat mission of the aircraft, and one of its key tasks would most likely see it getting shot down by decades-old US and European fighter jets.
In other words, they assert it's combat mission, and one of it's key tasks, will be getting shot down by old US and European jets.
I realize this is actually supposed to be a clever play on words, but I actually find it to be poor writing, and ridiculous.
