In this video, we analyse the Chengdu J-20, China’s 5th generation stealth fighter, and see if it’s as good - or bad - as many believe.
For a long time the dominance of stealth aircraft was a monopoly under the US, but recently many nations have come out with their own offerings to finally try and counter these capabilities.

The Mighty Dragon, the PRC’s answer to the F-22 Raptor, has been both slated by many on one side, and held as the greatest plane in the world by the other - but who is correct?
When it comes to analysing the J-20, it becomes clear that things are not quite as clear cut as either side may hope.

Please note the following; 1) illustrated images and videos may not always match narration due to shortages of footage or imagery on certain things; 2) the F-35 guarded air intake is somewhat true, but this is more due to the DSI system that both jets use - though this guarded intake setup is still beneficial to reducing RCS; 3) much information of aircraft mentioned are from the governments that own them, and this information may be misrepresented for strategic or geopolitical purposes by said governments. If you think I’ve missed the capabilities of the F-22 or F-35, fear not - they will be covered in their own respective videos to do them justice.
