Known by Western media as Fire Fang, the J-20 "Weilong" inaugurates China as the third country in the world to operate stealth fighter after the United States and Russia. The new photos clearly indicate that the Chengdu Aviation Industry designed the J-20 as a competitor against the US F-22 and Russian T-50 in future aerial combat.
With the ability to reach hypersonic speeds of Mach 5, the PL-13 missile can run down virtually every aircraft in the world, said the Party-run Global Times. The J-20s current deficiencies, such as its weaker engine, will be fixed in the near future.
