Chengdu J-20 Fifth Generation Aircraft Prototype

China will start limited series production of J-20 fifth generation stealth fighter if the tests being carried out on the newest prototype are successful.

China has begun tests on its seventh and newest prototype of the J-20 fighter, Duowei News reported Saturday.

“If these tests have successfully been carried out by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group this year, small numbers of J-20 fighters can go into production for frontline units of the PLA Air Force,” a military source was quoted as saying by Duowei.

The sensors and cyber warfare capability of the J-20 are as good as Lockheed Martin's F-35, the source said.
