Has China’s fifth-generation fighter the J-20 just accomplished a top-secret reconnaissance of the ongoing war game Vigilant Ace between the United States and South Korea, totally undetected by either military?
According to Chinese news portal Sina, yes. Evidence?
The People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) said on its Weibo account on Monday that its reconnaissance aircraft, during a scheduled training exercise, took off from an airbase in northern China and flew routes they had not taken before, “to places they had never been before.”
Some military observers in China believe these planes traversed South Korean airspace above the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. Yet what is interesting is the fact that Seoul has been silent so far.
Some speculate that Korean radar must have failed to track Chinese reconnaissance planes tasked to gather intelligence on the joint drill, for which Pentagon has marshaled its ace warplanes including F-22s to the Korean Peninsula.
“If that’s the case, then the only Chinese plane that was so stealthy that [it] could come and go totally undetected must be the J-20,” one commentator said.
“One or two J-20s may have flown with the group, which first headed to the East China Sea in a freedom-of-navigation patrol, but the fighter then turned northeast and pierced Seoul’s airspace, taking advantage of its cutting-edge stealth coating without triggering any alarm on Seoul’s radars.”
Other sources suggest that the PLAAF has started deploying a small batch of J-20s, which just entered service this year, at its key airbase in Cangzhou, in the northern province of Hebei.
Cangzhou borders the Bohai Sea across Korea Bay as well as the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, but is secure enough as it’s guarded by China’s Shandong and Liaodong peninsulas.
Well done. Congratulation China
Long live china! Solute from Pakistan.
Silence is golden!
More likely they did nothing of the sort and the reason for no comment from SK is because there was nothing of note to comment on. It’s also possible they watched the whole thing and said nothing. Why tell the other guy you’re watching his "stealth" aircraft from the time it leaves the runway?
Spin spin spin. Spin spin spin… Americans, their overloaded pride, makes for some really creatve spin machines.. Good job Scotty. 😉
More fake news in a clear attempt to fool fools!
Just another example of China trying to bully other countries in the region. China tries to prohibit other countries from even flying within 200 NM of its border, while in contrast, it feels that it has the right to fly its military aircraft over other countries and disregard their sovereignty.
Mon Mah overloaded pride. You people dont get that America is and always will be worlds strongest super power. And people just cant deal. With fact!!!!USA The true super power
James Tilley we learn something from history.. and that is.. there’s never an ”always” to any power!
Agreeded. I was in the U.S. air force and we had no problem seeing stealth fighters. WE ARE GENERATIONS AHEAD OF ANY COUNTRY. GOOD LUCK CHINA. LMAO
I truly hope the U.S.takes out North Korea. And if China I interferes in any way. Which the wont, they will be totally destroyed. Bring it on China
Look, by the time America see real war, she will beak down. America is nothing.
I take it that you are one less person we need to worry about jumping our fences and sneaking into our country illegally!? Thank God,
Ooh..and Aaron Jensen! What do you think of the US interference in almost every corner of the glob a millions NM away from their own borders with number of military basis.??
Well done China.????????????????.
Let the west be in the fool’s paradise and you keep walking on the ladder.
Dan Rosemark U.S. Never win when China is around. The 2 walls in Washington DC are from Korea and Vietnam.
China, and north korea will sink united state of america this time around.
James Tilley TRUe super power of shit…in 1970’s US can’t even beat the small tiny Vietcong in tbe VIETNAM WAR.Dont try to bullshit here and keep for yourself all the fantasia imagination…
Muhammad Zubair ..it seems that the US NEVER REGRETTED WHAT THEY HAD DONE IN VIETNAMESE WAR,KOREAN WAR,GOLF WAR, AGHANISTAN WAR ETC.ONCE BEATEN TWICE SHY..!!.HOW MANY TIMES OF SHYNESS?PERHAPS THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO SPELL THE WORD ‘SHY’. COME ON US, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. DONT INTERFERE. WHAT DID YOU GET IN THE VIETNAM WAR….SEE NOW, THEY JOIN TOGETHER AS A NATION,A COUNTRY. SO DO THE KOREA, SIBLINGS QUARREL IS NORMAL. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER…LASTLY THEY WILL JOIN TOGETHER….TAKE CARE OF THE POOR IN US AND RESTRUCTURE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN US RATHER THAN SPEND ALL THIS UNNECESSARY EXPENSES.
卢赵华 Sure, let’s pretend China didn’t get their asses kick by Vietnam in the 80’s.
So just to be clear the USA got our asses kicked in a war with no support back home fighting ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.
China got their asses kicked 10 times harder by the same little country WHO THEY SHARE A LAND BORDER WITH.
David Hoskins PROOF? WE MUST TALK WITH FACTS AND PROOFS…
卢赵华 That’s why Vietnam is buying weapons from the US now right?
That’s also why an American aircraft carrier is going to visit a Vietnamese port for the first time since the war right?
China better not push Vietnam too far or they’ll go and join NATO. Then let China find out what happens when you try to invade the territorial waters of a NATO member.
Muhammad Zubair Well Muhammad Zubair, you obviously want to change the subject away from Chinese aggression. In hopes for benefiting from the spoils of Chinese aggression, Pakistan has become China’s lackey it seems.
sun rise and sun set, the kawxps of whole universe…
(David Hoskins)
Are you doubly sure about that? That Xiao Ping got his arse kicked in that is?
And where on earth did you get those 「facts were」? BBC, CBS, CNN, RT and TASS, and likes? I mean PD (People’s Daily),Xinhua, other Chinese media outlets definitely never said anything like that.
However and whoever your source may be, I of course can understand that, YES, it indeed does make one feel much lessor of a loser than one really is with FAKE NEWS as PDJT had puts it and, it does make one feel less of an idiot if one can find someone to use as mirror even if that mirror is distorted and murkied. IT’S KNOWN AS COMFORT FOOD.
Facts: as backward militarily and as poverty stricken as Deng Xiao Ping was at the time as compared to Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, or Brezhnev, Deng had stated that operation Vietnam was a PUNITIVE endeavor. He succeeded in his endeavour. He sent a clear message to Moscow, which was China’s arch rival at the time “TO NOT ENCOURAGE VAN GIAP INTO SENDING COMMANDO RAIDS INTO CHINA”. He succeeded in what he was out to do and pulled back when the objective was reached.
It took only 3 weeks for Deng to penetrate deep into Vietnamese territory. Great lose of face for Vietnam of course. To make up for this lose of face, Hanoi had to make up some kind of a fable and that fable was China suffered geat casualties in the hands of the Vietnamese. Of course, Moscow had to collaborated with Hanoi on that fable because Moscow would lose face, too, if she doesn’t downplay the event as a Chinese lose.
More facts: to this day, China had not divulged on the casualty of that war. I heard that it’s a strategical measure that China doesn’t release casualties of wars never ever therefore the only BS you hear about that war is not Chinese BS but American and Soviet BS, or propaganda to put more correctly.
If Deng really wanted to, and if you give him another 3 months in that war, I betcha anything he’ll be all the way to the outskirts of Hanoi If he really set hus mind to it…
Catching my drift here folks?
ROFLOLLNAO….
.
The word “CYCLICAL” should strike a cord here…
The world may, actually THE WORLD WILL, witness a few more Nagasaki and Hiroshimas before the winds of changes takes on new shapes and forms…
Like the gattling gun, like the tank, like the fighter aircraft, nukes, too, are tools and tools are meant to be used and mandkind will definitely exploit this tool again..
My reading: it’ll likely be snobs who’ll initiate the use of nukes again with secondary nuclear powers stand at readiness to returning the favor when fired upon…
Dog eat dog world us humans you know…
David Hoskins you’ve been reading fake news, in 1979, China sent 700,000 trrops into vietnam destroyed infrastructures along the border, annihilated vietnam military in few weeks, PLA went home without incident. Chinese border is secured and intact. Only naive little girls would believe stories like yours.
David Hoskins NATO abreviation for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It would be a neat trick to move vietnam to the north and Atlantic region, it would be another neat trick for vietnam, a communist country to be part of NATO which consist of only democratic countries. Your comment is the joke of the day.
Dan Rosemark two thumbs up!
(China better not push Vietnam)
Little sarcasm:
Wow! Was it us Chinese who set all of those anti-Chinese/anti-China fires in Vietnam only two years ago — Chinese who was setting up shops in the country to help this poor little civet cat of a pooper generate 「at least a third world economy such that its populus can at least eat and have a roof over their heads?
😉 😉 😉
Second thought: I think the US should prop up the economy of this little civet pooper of a nation exactly the way it propped up the economy of Core South, of Nippon, of Taiwan, and now of 😉 caucasoid India 😉 if it want this civet pooper to play the part of keeping the ChuComs in check like the others are doing now otherwise no way in hell are these poopers going to be able to handle us Chinese.
In other words, without an American nurtured and incubated ecomomy, these poopers are just not going to be able to afford those pricy Lightning-2’s and those unreachable Raptors the way things go….
It’s like LG, Samsung, KIA, Hyundai, Nissan, Honda and Toyota didn’t happened by chance you know. It was an effort at containing Soviet imperialism and Chinese Maoism….
.
Dan Rosemark hahahaha..???????????? u are funny.
Dan Rosemark
US has failed win any war outrightly at its own since Korean War/Vietnam war (a comprehensive defeat). Suffered near defeats in Afghanistan and Syria in recent years.
(Never an always)
People seems to have forgotten that, as powerful and as assured as the Soviets are during the cold wars, that not a single Soviet nuke had been fired when it went by the wayside and they have enough nukes to incinerate the world many many times over if they wanted to do it. In other words, it don’t matter if we are Gringos, Ruskies, Chinese, or whatever, we simply have no choice in the matter but go when he, or it, comes calling no matter how superpower powerful we are.
(Fake news in attempt to fool fools)
The 「SWAMP」as Trump puts it is so infested with PARASITES that indeed it needs to be drained completely and a Trump-grade-filter installed to have it throughly cleansed and purify…
And those witches? Set up a gov. agency dedicated specifically to dig up dirt on them and then DESTROY them. Everyone have have dirt in them, DEFINTELY THE OPPORTUNISTIC WHITE FEMALE, so asign a CSI team on their trail. I mean they are clearly recruited by the swamp to destroy the Trump Presidency so why not be the first to do the deed, Trumpman?
I mean seriously folks, how many of you have heard of a white female who is still a virgin 「and who hadn’t been out exploring life and the world and who is still as pristine and as untouched as when they first got booted into this world」 by the time they reach junior high?
C’mon Man!!! C’mon Trump team! Use your smarts…
.
SK was able to detect the aircraft but it tavel in an international airspace, they just ignored it
Dan Rosemark
Well China is waiting too.
Try attack NK first and if your fleet still floats
This is good achievement for stability of the world politics !!!
