J-20 with it's own loyal wingman gj-11.
J-20s twin seater is intended for electronic warfare and piloting unmanned aerial vehicles such as the GJ-11.Enhancing the base J-20's role as the information node. The twin seater should be considered as a 5.5 Gen warplane.

No In my opinion the H-20 is still a large subsonic flying wing bomber with focus on extremely long range, large payload capacity and VVLO stealth. I don't entirely believe supersonic capability is worth it unless all else is equal. Ideally the H-20 completes China's nuclear triad capabilities, as well as threatening mainland USA assets with conventional strikes. Cuz as of right now the US would be able to target Chinese facilities with conventional weapons in the event of war, but China can only attack American facilities with intercontinental ballistic missiles. But if the H-20 turns out to be supersonic and is just as VLO as B-21, B-2, and has unrefueled ranges >12,000km, that would be fantastic, a man can dream.
One is a design, of which the development begun in the late '80s/early '90's and started production two decades ago, with nearly 4000 ordered/delivered. The other is an aircraft likely starting development 3/4 decades later than the development of the other and with a handful of prototype airframes.
Whats with the senseless, idiotic comparisons?
can you provide any factual evidence for this?
We all know here that NGAD will do exactly what the name says, Dominate. The US' supremacy is here to stay.

The US has been on the decline since the Cold War ended. Without a powerful adversary, the US scuttled the big part of its defense industry after 1991. F-22 and B-2 are Cold War relics. F-35 and B-21 do have some modern upgrades in capability over F-22 and B-2 but they are smaller and not fundamentally different.
With J-36, China is a whole generation more advanced than American fighter jets F-22 and F-35.

Why are u even comparing f-35 to j-36? they are not the same tier .China can afford to run 2 parallel 6th gen fighter programs whereas the US can't even afford one.If Musk and his group have enough influence, they might scrap the manned component lol he's our comrade in charge after all.

It is the year 2100. The US is still working on the latest iteration of NGAD. The Russians still use the AK. India still lacks indoor plumbing for the majority of its population. China is building a Dyson sphere
@Deino Is this true? Are there two parallel programs lol or are our friends here claiming that two competing designs are now two independent programs...?
I don't know why you seem to think the US is sitting idle. The gigantic lead the US has in key sectors has only enabled it to grow even further ahead. You can parade around these flights, but the US has been flying NGAD for a while and we know it will have technologies you could only dream about. Sorry, but being delusional doesn't change the realities. The US is the dominant power, will continue to be and will continue for a reasonable amount of time to have a lead in technologies. I challenge you to simply find me ANY Chinese aircraft that could match the 12-14,000 hour airframe life of a SLEP F-16. Heck, even 8k hours of the original airframe. I will wait. Lets not even go to engines, or avionics...
and whats your point, NGAD will likely be significantly more ccapable than anything the PLAAF will bring to the fight.
