The Shenyang J-16 and Chengdu J-20, are the two Chinese fighter jets whose names are most widely mentioned today. The reason is that both of them were actively involved in China's military campaign against Taiwan recently.
The Shenyang J-16 is the Chinese Air Force's most advanced fighter jet that has crossed Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), while the Chengdu J-20 is China's most advanced fighter jet with stealth capabilities, and has been included in large-scale war games, including combat patrols in the East and South China Seas.
Later, the Shenyang J-16 and Chengdu J-20 were back in a duet, after the two appeared simultaneously doing air refueling (refueling in the air) with the Xian Yu-20 tanker aircraft. And there is the latest news from the Changchun AirShow (26 – 30 August 2022) in Jilin Province, North China, it was stated that the Shenyang J-16 and Chengdu J-20 looked stunning at the aerospace exhibition.
Quoted from eurasiantimes.com (28/8/2022), there are several attractions in the open house event that entertain Chinese citizens. The highlight, however, was the demonstration of aerobatics by the most capable fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force – the J-16 multirole fighter, the J-20 stealth fighter, and the Y-20 heavy transport aircraft.
A Xian Y-20 transport plane took off and wowed crowds with maneuvers such as low-altitude flight and sharp turns, demonstrating the aircraft's agility despite its enormous size. The airshow opening ceremony also featured the debut of the Yu-20 transport aircraft, an air tanker variant of the Y-20 transport aircraft.
The airshow opening ceremony also featured the debut of the Yu-20 transport aircraft, an air tanker variant of the Y-20 transport aircraft. The third debut comes just two days after the Chinese Air Force released photos of the J-16 and J-20 being refueled in mid-air by the Yu-20 aircraft.
According to Chinese media reports, a J-16 multirole fighter jet surprised audiences at the airshow's opening ceremony by performing several low-altitude maneuvers, demonstrating the pilot's excellent judgment and control as well as the aircraft's outstanding mobility.
The J-16 has been upgraded to the J-16D variant and is equipped with advanced electronic warfare devices to increase precision and operational maneuverability on the information and communication shafts.
While the Chengdu J-20 performs a series of complex maneuvers, including fast pull-ups, fast turns, and successive horizontal and vertical moves. A Chinese military analyst, Wang Mingzhi, told the Global Times on Friday that the J-20 could quickly assume a position to attack because maneuvers such as steep turns and quick turns after pull-ups and dives are often used in aerial combat.
Li Debing, the pilot who flew the J-20 at the event, said the J-20's aerobatic demonstration was oriented towards simulating aerial combat.
China's Chengdu J-20 is the most advanced fighter jet in China's inventory, this jet is here to close the capability gap with the US Air Force equipped with F-22 Raptors and F-35s. A J-20 pilot recently revealed that the plane can locate and track F-22 and F-35 aircraft.
Chinese military analysts claim the lethal combined power of the J-16 and J-20 fighters. China-Arms quotes Chinese military expert Wang Mingliang as saying, "If the J-16D and J-20 are a duet, it will be a game changer, and the combat duo will be very lethal on the battlefields of the future.
