J-20 is a paradigm shift in technology. Fighting J-20 with MKI would be suicidal. Pretending it will be the same old status quo just proves Darwin’s Theory is alive and well in 2018.
So Madrat, you believe that an internet poster like yourself knows better about this than a professional air force whose men and women’s lives are on the line, one that flies hundreds of 4th gen combat jets, knows the in and outs of its fighters including their acquisition ranges against various types of targets having different RCS? An air force whose job is to defend the nation against China and its J-20? And you believe that they’re sitting there blissfully unaware of how dangerous the J-20 may be?
The IAF, like every other armed service, does one thing very well, in order to gain political support for bigger budget- it makes the political class aware of the level of threat it faces. The fact that they’re UNDERPLAYING the J-20 threat says a lot. I would’ve expected them to OVERSTATE the J-20 threat in order to expedite fighter purchases and S-400 contract signature.
