The Chinese military believes in ” intelligent air combat”, relying on modern electronics and sensors of the J-20 Mighty Dragon fighter. In combat, the machine is expected to act as a sniper, using its stealth capabilities to bypass air defenses.
The People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) has released footage of J-20 Mighty Dragon stealth fighters, calling the footage “Lethal across the Straits”. According to The Eurasian Times reviewers, this is how Chinese pilots demonstrate their preparation for clashes with American F-16 Viper fighters.
One shot shows two J-20s taking off together, and another shot shows a pilot in the cockpit ready for combat. And then you can see how at least four fighters fly together in formation. The authors of the video emphasized that the Chinese J-20 “has come a long way” and has three key characteristics: stealth, super cruise and situational awareness.
Commenting on the propaganda video, experts noted that the Chinese stealth aircraft of the fifth generation The J-20 Mighty Dragons are key elements in the event of a potential invasion of Taiwan. China has a fleet of more than 200 of these fighters and plans to deploy the aircraft to all five air force commands by 2026. In addition, the modification of the J-20 to carry nuclear weapons was also recently announced.

Despite the fact that the Chinese J-20 is not technologically up to the American counterpart F-35 Lightning II, according to experts, they could prove to be deadly for the United States in the event of a potential conflict with China.
“The latest the video could be a warning to the US and more to the Taiwan Air Force, which recently released footage of its F-16 Viper fighter jets intercepting Chinese warplanes in its air defense identification zone,” — reviewers write.
In combat, the J-20 is expected to act as a sniper, using stealth capabilities to bypass fighter screens and destroy vulnerable targets such as early warning aircraft and refueling tankers.

At the same time, the publication of a video clip with J-20 fighters is part the strategy of the PLA to intimidate Taiwan and warn the US about the possible consequences of intervention in the conflict, observers concluded.
