The unprecedented appearance of three fifth-generation fighter jets in Zhuhai. Making its debut at the 15th Airshow China, China's J-35A, is showcasing China's continued advancements in aviation technology.
WEI DONGXU, Military Commentator "The J-35A is a twin-engine medium-sized multi-role stealth fighter. Its comprehensive performance and combat ability is very strong. It boasts the upper-hand of spotting the enemy craft faster, firing faster and shooting it down first."
Alongside the J-35A, another fifth gen fighter jet, the J-20, also provides a breathtaking spectacle.
The J-20 boasts advanced stealth capabilities, exceptional maneuverability, and an extensive combat radius of 2,200 kilometers, rendering it a formidable adversary in aerial combat.
XU HUA Zhuhai "Also joining the fray at the Zhuhai Airshow is Russia's Su-57, another fifth-generation fighter jet, flown by the legendary test pilot Sergey Bogdan."
SERGEY BOGDAN, Russia's Su-57 Pilot "The Su-57 has certain advantages because it is a fifth-generation aircraft. Primarily, it was designed to ensure low radar visibility. With its complex dynamic configuration that provides these advantages, the aircraft has preserved and even slightly improved certain maneuverability, stability, and controllability."
With the impressive display of the J-20, J-35A, and Su-57, the event underscored the rapid development of aviation technology by both China and Russia.
As the aviation industry continues to evolve, these fighter jets will play a crucial role in shaping the future of aerial warfare. Xu Hua, CGTN, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province.
