The two-seat version of the Chinese fifth-generation fighter J-20 will receive a powerful electronic warfare system (EW) and will be able to control guided unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as a result of which it will become a "real nightmare" for the enemy, the South China Morning Post newspaper writes, citing the Chinese magazine Ordnance Industry Science Technology.
The publication claims that " drones can be a decoy for enemy aircraft or stealth aircraft." Also, UAVs "can collect intelligence, conduct attacks on air defense systems (air defense) and ensure the conquest of air superiority." The South China Morning Post notes that in two years, the J-20s will start receiving Chinese engines instead of Russian ones.
In March, the American magazine Popular Mechanics wrote that the promising low-visibility strategic bomber B-21 Raider of the Air Force (Air Force) The United States will become the "killer" of the Russian S-400 "Triumph" air defense systems and Chinese J-20 fighters.
In July 2020, the publication of the Chinese portal Global Times called the fifth-generation fighters [...] the American F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, as well as the Chinese J-20, but not the Russian Su-57.
