China’s air force will have more than 60 of its most advanced J-20 fifth-generation fighters ready for combat by the end of 2019, according to recent Chinese media reports.
Meanwhile, the United States announced that its Air Force is moving 11 of the older model F-35A fighter jets to be part of a reactivated squadron in Nevada, for air exercises that will simulate combat against China’s J-20 or Russia’s Su-57.
