J-20 won't be carrying PL-10's if it knows it's going up against F-35's because it'll never make it to the WVR with the F-35. That's the point. If you're in a J-20 and you merge with an F-35, you fucked up, and you're gonna die. The F-35 is a very capable dogfighter, trumping F-16's and F/A-18 Super Hornets in Red Flags very consistently, and is really only second to the F-22 in a close range fight.

@@ObiWanShinobi917 "J-20 won't be carrying PL-10's" Are you Pilot in the PLAAF? and do you fly J-20's to confirm that? The whole point of both fighters is to NOT get close in general but incase they do both have the ability to fire heaters off boresight. Its just a matter of who see's who first. Just because the F-35 is "American" and has very good trained pilots flying it doesn't mean its invincible. Max is only giving his opinion. He's not going to know EVERYTHING about the J-20 because its a classified Aircraft. The PLAAF would NEVER give away the J-20's true RCS figures or any other sensitive information. Your just going to get what they want you to know. Its the same for the F-22 and F-35. "If you're in a J-20 and you merge with an F-35, you fucked up, and you're gonna die" Underestimating your opponent is the worst thing you can do as a pilot. Both planes have their pros & cons. So what J-20 is big, has delta wings and canards... that doesn't disqualify it from being a good dogfighter. ANY plane that gets slow in the merge will become vulnerable. It all comes down to energy management. The only disadvantage I see with the J-20 in a dogfight is not having a gun. Idk if you play DCS but its close to being realistic. I've shot down players who where flying F-16's and F-18's (Had Newer tech, better missiles etc) in a 1980's era Su-27 that thought the same thing you just said about merging " Your going to die because my plane is American and your Russian flanker is trash and stands no chance) and guess what happen? they get their asses handed to them so with that being said if the plane is in the hands of a good pilot it will be a threat. It Doesn't matter if its an F-35, Rafale, Su-30, F-18, F-22, Su-57 ect. Every country has good pilots with training. Not just Nato and the US. At the end of the day both planes are great. They have their roles, One's better than the other at particular things & they both have AESA. Both planes are very Capable. Neither of them have shot down anything in real life and Both planes have came up on top in Simulated dogfights. Set aside the Biased opinions and just enjoy Military aviation lol!

Don't believe what you see from Chinese Propaganda.

@@phill5917 Yes lets talk about guns while we are at it, which we aren't sure the J-20 even has. Any while we are at it lets arm the pilots with sidearms so they can take potshots at each other WW1 style.

​@@ericjohnson133Most F-35s don't have guns either. Not to mention the gun is the last thing you would use anyway.

Something people are discovering about the YF-23, as it was presented by Northrup. The YF-23 is now seen as proto NGAD in almost everyway. With NGAD basically taking the YF-23 innovations and taking them into 6th gen. Which makes Northrup dropping out of at least the USAF NGAD disappointing.

because you're a reactive drone, an NPC 😂

Yep I rarely see ppl mention this but J-20 just looks so awesome, the only thing i don't like is the weapon bay cos it looks too bareboned, but other than that J-20 is my fav 5 gen fighter from an artistic design perspective.

It's got CANARDS. Which are like crutches for lift. They can't fly properly without them. Which means their tech is lacking. Our FBW systems are the reason certain craft can fly. They don't need stupid canards either.

@CaptainHavfun-lp4ok Oh I see.. I've always wondered why our planes never had Canard designs on them..

Germany and Iran didn't have any trouble detecting and tracking the F35. Germany in a defense exercise recently, Iran warned them off entering their air space last year.

Makes sense. Go in, destroy AWACs, destroy anti-air assets so the non-stealthy aircrafts and helicoptors can do their job. I think Russia's lack of a real 5th gen is why they still can't get air superiority even vs Ukraine.

Exactly, thats a basic knowledge about Gen-5 jets, they are not going to do dog fight...lack of common sense here.

J20 looks more similar in design to the F35.

One more thing, PL 15 missile means it can shoot the air target 1500 km or more range. J20 is never designed to depend on pilot's eye sight or dog fight to destroy enemies.

Have you ever thought about systematic combat between fighters? J-20 will not fly outside the scope of the South China Sea, in this range with radar, early warning aircraft can almost observe all stealth fighters, electromagnetic interference and suppression, so that it thinks that there are Chinese fighter formations in other airspace, and f35 and other various aircraft, You have to look for reconnaissance whether it's firing the aim 120 air-to-air missile at that place, or whatever. This is the first point, the information disadvantage. The second point is that the pl17, the latest Chinese service, has a range of over 400km, and it has a dual-pulse engine, which means it has a nearly unlimited power segment, and it can easily kill the American AWACS. That means the Americans can't electromagnetic suppress China, except with their carrier groups, if you are willing to expose a carrier group to the South China Sea, and while I didn't mention the third point, the F-35 has entered Chinese airspace more than 20 times, how many times do you think these F-35 pilots have spotted the j20? They did so visually, meaning that the F35 was still unable to detect the j20 even though the j20's rcs was larger

That's a misconception. J-20 was designed to go against F-22 or F-35 form the get go.

the j20’s radar cross section has never ever been made public tho..

It has a larger radar cross-section (RCS) LOL stop parroting the propaganda already. LOL

It’s almost like stealth aircraft are stealthy. Crazy, right?

Definitely interesting 🧐

China sup got it

Datalink no worky if engine no pushy. Engine failure = full electrical failure. The F-35 is such an energy hungry flying computer, no battery that can fit in the thing will last long without the engine.

Yeah, it's a psyop. Not sure which is preferable, it being a psyop to show that it really is stealthy or that it was another in a long list of mishaps.

Several things wrong and things I want to add: - J20 also can fly higher than F35 so they have initial advantage. - they used missile to kill the balloon because the balloon is the size of a building and bullet holes won't bring it down.

@@elmohead Why not just more bullet holes? as long as it slowly descents we could have gotten the whole piece intact so much easier to analyze.

@@Whitfield369 because at such high altitude, Helium simply won't escape through the holes. Canada tried to shoot down a balloon. Fired over 1,000 bullets, the balloon continued floating over North Atlantic Ocean, flying over Britain, Norwegia, Russia and finally landed in Finland.

@@elmohead thanks for the interesting story. I need to look into the physics on why helium would not leak in high altitude. One would imagine with a thousand bullets it would have torn a quite sizable hole on the balloon.

@@Whitfield369 tbh it was everyone's first thought, including mine. But think about it. F35 has a 25mm Gatling. Cross section is 49cm². 1,000 rounds of that is 4.9m². The surface area of the balloon is probably around 600m².

LOL....at best the J20 is a 4.5 Generation fighter with weak and unreliable engines........it only really has any real stealth from a head-on aspect so any approach differing from that it is dead meat from 60 miles away.......even then it has less capable radar and avionics than the F-35

Just because a military claims to have stealth aircraft, doesn't automatically mean it's actually very stealthy lol. Not to mention if the training isn't great and often than the aircraft means nothing. Not to mention doctrain and actually military pilots with combat experience...which China has zero of

Thing is, the advantages tend to stack. If the F35 is less detectable and has a better radar and has a better trained pilot and has a superior EW package and is better integrated with other aircraft ... that J20 isn't going to survive long enough to get into dogfighting range. Planes don't fight 1v1 like in DCS

The j20 wins just on looks alone compared to the f35 by 500%

Manufactured is more correct and is what I should have said instead of built. There are 4 sections of the F35, and the sections are manufactured in the USA, Italy and Japan. These sections are then shipped to what you could call a "completion center" in the USA. Here, the 4 sections of the F35 are married. Then it passes final assembly, is flight tested, painted and certified airworthy and combat ready. Japan for the most part is just building some of their own aircraft. But we started the Japan order in the USA. Each area is still pushing towards full rate production. Each country who purchases the F35 will have different approvals and requirements. Like Norway due to weather conditions in the region, gets a parachute pod built into the AFT Section, (FS 556), for help on the Icey runways that the pilots are at times forced to land on. However, each F35 built, maintains a final build tolerance of .250 ". So, the F35 is built to within a final aircraft dimension of no more than a quarter of an inch, from one aircraft to the next. Now, that is precision. I have had many amazing conversations with pilots since I have been an FAA commercial aircraft mechanic for the last 23 years, and the last 11 spent with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics on the F35 Program. Love your videos and love hearing the pilots perspective. Love the Channel. I mean really, the F15 is just amazing, full stop. Gen 5 aircraft are just taking it to the next level. Keep up the awesome videos.

ya but this is a youtube vid by an American airman. Do you really think he is going to be objective?

The range of an air to air weapon wouldn’t matter much in a straight up matchup. The J20 wouldn’t be able to target the F35 anywhere close to 217km unless there was another aircraft up close sharing targeting data. The range that a J20 vs the F35 would be able to achieve would be the decisive factor, probably within 20-30 nautical miles. Those super long range misiles would be to target the AWACS vs a single fighter

@@emertron2743 --- "The J20 wouldn’t be able to target the F35 anywhere close to 217km unless there was another aircraft up close sharing targeting data." There's a grain of truth in that, of course. On the other hand, the reverse holds true --- the F-35 would not be to target the J-20 either --- the F-35 is not any more 'stealthy' than the J-20 is, nor does it have superior electronics. That said --- let's not forget the F-35 WILL be operating in and around the Chinese mainland --- and not the reverse. Thus, China's FAR more effective ground-based radar systems (more effective than the F-35's and even far more effective than the amerikan AWACS) WILL come into play, providing all the targeting data the J-20 needs to utilize it's far better air-to-air missile technology that Russia was kind enough to provide. What it boils down to is the capabilities of each aircraft --- the F-35 cannot exceed Mach 1 without melting, while no such limitations apply to the J-20 --- unlike the F-35, the J-20 is a TRUE '5th gen' aircraft. AND, the J-20 has far superior armaments than that of the F-35. Thus --- game, set and match .... the F-35 stands no chance vs. the J-20 ... no contest in ANY metric. Of course, if we were to include the F-22 in the match-up --- the results would be different - somewhat. On one hand, the F-22 suffers no such speed limitations as the F-35 --- on the OTHER hand, given the astronomical costs to produce a SINGLE F-22, less than 100 of the F-22 exist (vs. the 500-600 of the J-20 in the air today) --------- also, given the F-22's fragility and it's complexity .. no more than 30% of those

@@johnnybegood3017 The RCS of the F35 head-on is an order of magnitude lower than the J20. Assuming equivalent radar strength (we have no reliable information on either), the F35 has at least twice the range. By the time an AWACS can get a relevant lock on an F35 the AWACS will be a smouldering wreck in the dirt somewhere. Ground radar stations will be a similar situation if relevant because of anti-radiation missiles. Why are you so convinced that speed is relevant here? Energy isn’t a concern when you are lobbing missiles from tens to hundreds of km away.

@@rustycann6887 I remember one F-35 pilot, who was formerly an F-16 pilot, on Quora with a verified profile (meaning he confirmed his identity and occupation as a USAF F-35 Pilot because you can't impersonate that shit online it's highly illegal) He came out and said that during his first Red Flag with the F-35, he was up against F-16's. All piloted by veterans who had 1000+ hours in their aircraft. True masters it's capabilities. He, himself was still new to the F-35, but it didn't seem to matter. According to his recollection, the F-16 pilots were super cocky about going up against "Fat Amy", and during the first few runs, they arrogantly went up with full load outs; as many A2A missiles as they could carry, and extra fuel tanks. Because they were so confident that they could beat the F-35 even while weighed down. As the day went on, and the mock battles continued, the F-16's found themselves getting shot down repeatedly, and each time the two sides went back up, the F-16's were a little lighter. First they removed 2 missiles. Then 4 missiles. Then they went up with less fuel to lighten their load. Then they removed their two pylon tanks. Until the F-16s were flying up with nothing but their small centerline fuel tank, a single Aim-9x mounted centerline, and their gun (which wasn't actually loaded just simulated). And still, they were unable to score even a single kill against the F-35's. He also mentioned that the F-35's took the same loadout every time. No tanks. 2 AIM-9x inside the internal weapons bay. Gun.

Yep they probably handle dog fights along with the F20.

J-20 will have J-16 supporting them

Twin engines means much bigger IR signature which means. Easier to pick up/lock on/track. Also, just bigger aircraft as well with 2 engines which will be easier to detect/lock/track on radar.

The J-20 is a bigger plane, so with 2 engines of course it will carry more fuel. But the trade of is that it turns slower and has a slower rate of climb. None of the Chinese pilots have any combat experience and as such they are unable to translate that into training. And is the J-20 able to refuel mid-air like the F-35.

Did you just came out from living under a rock grandpa?

watch out the small angry chinese men came out to attack you. I agree with you though, the chinese weapons/aircraft/ships are all copied or stolen. This means that they are most likely not up to standard, IE: the chinese aircraft carrier they made a big deal about is already cracking. Their weapons probably do not work well and their planes also suck. I believe the US did some kind simulation where the f35 went 100-1 against the chinese equivalent.

@@jetli740 American pilots have been flying combat missions since 9/11/2001. Each generation passed on the skill to the next. When was the last time China flowed in combat? Vietnam. And they got ass whipped by American pilots.

@@AllenTam shooting down balloon or bomb goat herder dont really add much experience. you need to go head to head with near peer enemy before count can count as experience. oh dont mention vietnam.. it a big embarrassment for you yanky. they shoot down your jet and b52 using primitive weapon. kick ur arse so bad you have to run away.

No stealth aircraft is invisible. The trick is to make weapons lock as difficult as possible -- painting a stealth plane is something that seems to happen fairly regularly in various theaters of operation, but even that doesn't mean they're going to be as fully visible as needed for an opposing pilot to actually get off a solid shot (much less have missiles actually lock on).

Yeah your just making shit up the f35 is way stealthier than the j20 where's your source

What you don't know is that on routine/training missions the F-35 ( or any other stealth aircraft) carries corner reflectors that completely disguise its RCS. RCS is blackest secret, so it will not be revealed until a combat mission is flown.

Even the Americans cannot defeat the Taliban, are they no more than paper tigers?😅

Stealth aircraft in my opinion aren’t supposed to carry around guns, but i think the J-31 should.

I read a lot of pilots who flew both and while all of them say its very similar, most of them say the GE F110 has a very slight edge. The volume of air it captures is actually bigger while the Pratt F100 equivalent outputs it at a higher velocity and temperature. This is why GE equiped F-16s are required to have a bigger intake. A Pratt engineer once joked about it saying, they forced the manufacturer to modify the intake because they couldn't achieve the required thrurst (29,000 lbs) with the original design. If you put a GE engine on a regular F-16, you would receive a letter from GE that reads: "Due to insufficient capture area blah blah blah, reduced thrust levels blah blah blah, recomend modifications blah blah blah"

This may have changed, but it was designed around a new engine (forgot the name) that was having really serious teething problems and the next best option was noticeably less powerful. I know the PLAF was pushing to fix the problems, but not sure if they've succeeded yet (or ever will, some engineering projects never come to fruition no matter what).

The j20 is pretty under everything that’s why the Chinese keep trying to buy every f35 they can and do you think they would sell the best of everything to China in the way of tech and accessible equipment options maybe the Chinese will just reverse engineer everything and it will work in reverse more so than forward LMAO

has been successful. Turbofan 15.
