Chinas Air Force celebrates 77th anniversary today boasting its 6th & 5th gen fighters (J-36, J-35, J-20)https://english.news.cn/20261111/3480dbe9c65c4165bcd1e23f64b6a856/c.htmlWatch with sound:https://youtu.be/IaGo1qSZtpgThe local media (for the first time ever) define PLAAF as the most modern/technologically advanced/powerful air force in the world. So far the Chinese considered themselves as 2nd after the US but no more.China lifts the veil on its GJ-11 Dragon Stealth UCAVhttps://www.twz.com/air/china-lifts-the-veil-on-the-gj-11-mysterious-dragon-stealth-ucavMultiple defense analyses (Military Watch Magazine, Meta-Defense) report that the PLAAF has equipped 18 air brigades with J-20s, typically 28 aircraft each, for a total of 504 fighters (plus 40-60 for training, pushing the overall fleet over 500).https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/china-j20-most-procured-fighter-service-500J-20 fleet is now larger than US F-22s (only 184 units) and roughly matches or exceeds USAF F-35As in raw numbers.Chinas J-20 production now far outpaces the US. "Dark factories" with heavy robotics and AI enable 120 J-20s/year (aiming higher), running near 24/7 with minimal labor. A fully domestic ecosystem plus unlimited rare earth access avoids US-style supply bottlenecks and global dependencies plaguing F-35 output (24 USAF/year recently).A credible confirmation of the advanced J-20 stealth comes from retired Taiwanese Air Force Lt. Gen. Zhang Yanting, who stated Taiwan cannot detect the J-20 because its Doppler radar cannot track stealth aircraft and it lacks quantum radar.https://www.19fortyfive.com/2026/01/did-china-fly-a-stealth-j-20-mighty-dragon-fighter-over-taiwan/Credible sources indicate the F-22s avionics left it increasingly obsolete vs the J-20. The latest upgrades aim to keep it "viable" and "preserve lethality" as a bridge, not to surpass the J-20, but to prevent it from becoming irrelevant against newer Chinese sensor fusion and networking

AVIC unveiled plans for a sub-380kg, 100kW+ airborne laser system. While the US scrapped its equivalent pod project due to severe thermal and vibration hurdles, the J-36s size and power capacity provide an ideal platform for a magazine-independent, speed-of-light defense against missiles and drones.Https://asiatimes.com/2026/09/chinas-j-36-may-soon-fly-with-lasers-the-us-couldnt-master/The J-36 is Chinas 6th-generation heavy stealth interceptor, developed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group for long-range air superiority and drone command. Its massive 26-meter frame yields a maximum takeoff weight exceeding 50 metric tons.Its fully tailless lambda-wing design provides broadband radar stealth across multi-aspect threat sectors by eliminating vertical reflection surfaces. Flush-mounted sensors, continuous chines and serrated bay doors preserve low observability across infrared and radar spectra. Propulsion relies on a tri-engine architecture fed by twin diverterless supersonic side inlets and a top-mounted dorsal intake that shields engine faces from ground radar.Three thrust-vectoring turbofans enable flight control without tail fins, while top-deck recessed exhausts suppress thermal signatures. Engineered for a 3,000 km combat radius, it can project force past the Second Island Chain without refueling. It achieves sustained supercruise around Mach 1.5 and top speeds over Mach 2, carrying long-range PL-17 missiles internally to preserve stealth.
China hasn't fought a war in 50 years, copies all their technology, and ia facing demogrpahic collapse in 2 generations.They'd better hurry the fuck up and try and take Taiwan. I'm bored of the current happenings.

>>546041362Fuck I can't spell. I hate phoneposting on the shitter.>>546041364LOL. How can they see?
>>546040257>77thCute.

>>546041362>They'd better hurry the fuck up and try and take TaiwanTaiwan will join China freewillingly xD
I am Willing to bet if they were handed over, pardon me, if they stole those missing chips they won't be using them in their infrastructure and equipment! Past back bait. Defenetly smarter than us, at this point.
Thw Chinese jet engines fall apart after like ten flights.Very poor reliability and lots of maintenance to do.
>>546041719that option expired the moment the ccp got heavy handed with hong kong.
>>546042033In the worst scenario, Taiwan will join China freewillingly after China puts a blockade on it xDScale and sophistication of the PLAs persistent presence around Taiwan have expanded dramatically. It proves growing strenght.Annual PLA sorties around Taiwan soared 15-fold from 380 in 2020 to 5,709 in 2025. Direct incursions into Taiwans air defense identification zone grew from 972 (2021) to 3,762 (2025). Single-day air records peaked at 153 aircraft during Joint Sword-2024B drills, with dozens routinely operating simultaneously around the island. A continuous daily footprint of 12 PLAN warships and 8 Coast Guard/government vessels operates along Taiwans perimeter, accompanied by mass maritime deployments exceeding 90 vessels during major maneuvers.Operations moved from simple fighter sorties in the southwest ADIZ to simultaneous 360-degree encirclements using J-20 stealth fighters, H-6N bombers, and carrier strike groups in the Philippine Sea.High-altitude reconnaissance UAVs (TB-001, WZ-7) routinely circle the island, pairing with EW platforms (Y-9EW) to map defense radars and rehearse air-defense saturation.The PLA integrates China Coast Guard and dual-use civilian ferries (RO-ROs) alongside naval combatants, practicing law-enforcement quarantines that blur the threshold of war while exhausting Taiwans response capacity.The persistent pressure alone is designed to change strategic calculations of Taiwans ruling class and make them sure that USrael is fully incapable to save them if shit hits the fan xD
>>546042207xD chinka literally can't do shit xD
>>546040257I had a dream last night that the Chinese Air Force bombed the tech park area I work in. They launched a military invasion of the United States. I survived and they started having massive parades
>>546042288Chinas area denial drills with the Liaoning carrier group in the Western Pacific has just began.https://www.reuters.com/world/china/taiwan-says-china-is-conducting-area-denial-drills-western-pacific-2026-11-10/Taiwans Defence Minister Wellington Koo confirmed that the PLAN is conducting these exercises involving the Liaoning and other naval formations. The explicit goal, as framed by Taipei, is to block US and allied intervention in any Taiwan conflict.https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2026/11/11/2003867520Operating a full carrier group east of Taiwan in the open Western Pacific shows the PLAN is no longer limited to near-seas defense. It is practicing sustained power projection and control of sea lanes that US forces would use to reinforce Taiwan from Guam, Japan, or further afield.Area denial aims to make any approach by American carriers, submarines, or air assets far riskier and more time-consuming through coordinated long-range missiles, submarines, surface ships, and carrier aviation. Successful drills signal that Beijing believes it can create a temporary window of local superiority.The Liaoning (Chinas first carrier) leading multi-formation exercises demonstrates improved integration of carrier air wings, escorts, and logistics at distance, capabilities that were rudimentary only a decade ago. Footage circulating with the report shows large surface formations, massed fighter sorties, and carrier flight operations, underscoring the scale.Coming amid elevated Chinese naval and air activity around Taiwan (including reports of over 100 ships in the region), the drills raise the baseline of pressure. They occur ahead of high-level US-China meetings, reinforcing deterrence messaging without a formal declaration of large-scale exercises near the island itself.
>>546042431Cute. Do they have any experience in war?
>>546042989China uses partner conflicts as live testbeds for its own kill chains.The "Eyes and Fists" Architecture (Iran): analysts describe a split kill chain where China provides the orbital "eyes" and Iran delivers the kinetic "fist". Iran fully transitioned its military from GPS to Chinas BeiDou-3 by late 2025, gaining 24/7/365, all-weather coverage with centimetre-level encrypted signals resistant to Western jamming. A unique BeiDou feature (short-message communication) lets Iranian commanders retask missiles or drones in flight, even up to 2,000 km away, if a Patriot battery or F-35 is detected. Chinas 500+ satellite fleet feeds constant SIGINT and terrain mapping directly into Tehrans targeting nodes.The pipeline runs both ways. China covertly trained hundreds of Russian soldiers at six bases, focused specifically on drone deployment and electronic countermeasures, with graduates sent straight to elite frontline drone units in Ukraine. Russia has also fed back extensive data on captured US weapons (HIMARS, Patriots, Abrams), while China supplies the fiber-optic cable that makes drones immune to jamming controlling over 60% of global production. Chinese troops have trained at Russian ranges like Volgograd since at least 2024, learning drone warfare, urban combat, trench operations, electronic warfare etc to absorb live battlefield experience from Ukraine.
China operates more than 60 modern AEW&C aircraft, including the KJ-500, KJ-2000, KJ-3000 and KJ-600. The USAFs E-3 fleet has shrunk to about 16 aircraft and faces severe readiness problems, while the E-7A replacement is delayed. The KJ-500 uses a fixed three-array AESA radar, GaN-based, for continuous 360° coverage and improved low-observable detection, whereas the legacy USraeli E-3 relies on a mechanically rotating radar with sweep delays. Chinese AWACS also integrate with PL-15/PL-17-class missiles for silent standoff targeting through mature datalink kill chains.Vid-rel is KJ-3000. Digital radar architecture and massive Y-20B platform. Its 8,000 GaN T/R modules detect stealth fighters at circa 1000 km. The US E-7s radar is far smaller. The US has no direct counterpart, with the E-7 program delayed and the E-3 fleet technologically obsolete.
6th-gen J-36 flies with the 5th-gen J-20 in formation
implessive!
