Is it me or is that object just under the nose look exactly like the EOTS? I have it highlighted below.
Now on the F-35.
I am fully moving into the camp that the J-20 is a long range, stealthy strike fighter.
If I'm right then the Chinese believe either that the F-22 is too short ranged, or too few to stand up to multiple SU-27 derivatives that they have in service along with the J-10s in aerial combat. That the F-22 as currently employed will fail against a modern integrated air defense complex. Or they plan on a decisive first strike and will kill the planes on the ground before they even can take off.
Regardless. The realization that the J-20 is a strike and not air superiority fighter should make everyone sit up and take notice. We've all assumed that we would have to take the fight to them.
They're planning on bringing the fight to us!
