Know why the Su-57 stealth fighter remains limited in numbers. And how Russia’s prioritise quality over quantity. Here's why that matters.

Su-57 production: Why is Russia building so few stealth fighters?

In trying to outpace every adversary, the Raptor momentarily outpaced itself, proving that even the world’s most advanced fighter isn’t immune to its own complexity.

At a massive air show in China, the nation displays its growing aerial power, featuring advanced fighter jets, drones, and cutting-edge military aviation technology.

China's Dominating Air Power on Display

China's largest air show officially opened on Tuesday with Beijing showcasing its growing military might to potential customers and rivals alike. It's a show of strength for China. The star of Airshow China, held in the southern city of Zhuhai this year, is the new J-35A stealth fighter jet. Let's find out more about this stealth fighter. Watch in for more details!

China's New Arsenal, J-35 Stealth Fighter Debuts At Zhuhai Air Show

China will unveil a new stealth fighter jet and attack drones at a major airshow this week, with analysts and rival powers watching closely for rare clues on Beijing's military hardware development.

The country's close ties with Moscow will also be on display at Airshow China, which showcases Beijing's civil and military aerospace sector every two years in the southern city of Zhuhai.&nbsp;

Beijing has poured resources into modernising and expanding its aviation capabilities as it faces off against the United States and others around regional flashpoints like Taiwan.&nbsp;

Record numbers of Chinese warplanes have been sent around the self-ruled democratic island, which Beijing claims as its territory, over the past few years.&nbsp;

The J-35A, described as a "medium-sized stealth multi-purpose fighter", looks similar in design to a US F-35, analysts say, though details are few.&nbsp;

Its appearance at the show "can be interpreted as confirmation of its entry into service", Chinese military aviation expert Fu Qianshao told state-backed tabloid Global Times last week.

If confirmed, it would make China the only other known country in the world to have two stealth fighters in action after the United States, Fu said.&nbsp;

Another key piece of military hardware making its debut is the HQ-19 surface-to-air missile system, designed to intercept ballistic missiles and hypersonic glide vehicles, according to state media.&nbsp;

While China has had to play catch-up with the United States when it comes to most traditional military technology, that might not be the case with drones, where China dominates the commercial market.

For the first time, the airshow will feature a dedicated drone zone, reflecting their increased prominence in daily life but also in war settings like the Ukraine conflict.

The SS-UAV -- a massive mothership that can rapidly release swarms of smaller drones for intelligence gathering, as well as strikes -- will be on display in Zhuhai, according to the South China Morning Post.&nbsp;

Moscow and Beijing have deepened military and defence ties since Russia ordered troops into Ukraine nearly three years ago, with Chinese President Xi Jinping one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's most important allies on the world stage.

The secretary of Russia's Security Council Sergei Shoigu will be at the airshow, and the country's most advanced jet, the Su-57 stealth fighter, will make a display flight.&nbsp;

China set to reveal new stealth fighter jet and attack drones at Zhuhai airshow

China has revealed its latest stealth fighter jet, the J-35A, positioning itself as only the second nation after the USA to develop two types of stealth aircraft. Watch this report for more details!

China Reveals J-35A Stealth Fighter At Zhuhai Show

Su-57 is a multifunctional 5th generation aircraft system for execution of a wide range of combat tasks. The fighter provides covertness of combat operation due to low signature level in the radar field. The felon is capable of continued supersonic cruising flight. The jet is designed to destroy air, ground & naval targets. The aircraft can be used day & night, including in difficult weather conditions & difficult interference environment, when countering enemy air defence systems. The radar system is spread across the body & armament is placed inside jet fuselage. The su-57 ai system assumes some of the pilot’s functions, including piloting & preparations for use of weapons. In 2018, russian defense ministry signed the first contract for the supply of an initial batch of su-57s. As per state-owned corporation rostec, su-57 serial production has begun & the first aircraft of the initial batch was delivered in 2020. Su-57 is currently sukhoi’s most advanced aircraft in the model lineup.

Russia's Su-57 fighter now deadlier than ever before | Key facts about stealth fighter

China showed its Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter in public for the first time on Tuesday, opening the country&#39;s biggest meeting of aircraft makers and buyers with a show of its military clout. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Airshow China, in the southern city of Zhuhai, offers Beijing an opportunity to demonstrate its ambitions in civil aerospace and to underline its defence ambitions. China is set to overtake the US&nbsp;as the world&#39;s top aviation market in the next decade.

Two J-20 jets, Zhuhai&#39;s headline act, swept over dignitaries and hundreds of spectators and industry executives gathered at the show&#39;s opening ceremony in a 60-second flypast, generating a deafening roar that was met with gasps and applause and set off car alarms in a parking lot at the site.

&quot;It is clearly a big step forward in Chinese combat capability,&quot; said Bradley Perrett of Aviation Week, a veteran China watcher.

Analysts say it is too early to say to what extent the new Chinese fighter can match the radar-evading properties of the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor air-to-air combat jet, developed for the US&nbsp;Air Force and the J-20&#39;s closest lookalike, or the latest strike jet in the U.S. arsenal, Lockheed&#39;s F-35.

Unofficial shots of a J-20 prototype fuelled discussion over the region&#39;s power balance when first glimpsed by planespotters in 2010. Experts say China has been refining designs in hopes of narrowing a military gap with Washington.

Cao Qingfeng, an aircraft engineer watching the flypast, said the &quot;stunning&quot; display was a show of China&#39;s strengthening aircraft industry and manufacturing, and Western officials agreed.

&quot;This shows they now have confidence to put it out in public,&quot; said a Western industry official who has monitored the biennial show from its inception 20 years ago.

&quot;This is the airplane for China in the way that the J-31 isnot; this is the one they develop for themselves,&quot; he added. The export-oriented J-31, was unveiled at Zhuhai in 2014.

President Xi Jinping has pushed to toughen the armed forces as China takes a more assertive stance in the region, particularly in the South China and East China seas.

It remained unclear whether or how the J-20 would be displayed after the flypast, or to what extent foreign executives and media would be allowed a close look as they try to figure out its role and effectiveness. Some foreign observers have questioned its stealth capabilities.

Aircraft that are already scheduled to be on display alongside the latest Chinese weapon systems, radar and drones include the Xian Y-20 strategic airlifter, and what organisers say is the largest amphibious plane now in production, the AG600.

The flying boat is officially promoted as a fire-fighting or search and rescue plane. But analysts note the AG600 - first unveiled 10 days after a Hague tribunal ruled against China&#39;s claim to parts of the South China Sea in July - is well suited to resupplying military outposts in the disputed area.

Notably absent from the airshow schedule is the Comac C919 passenger jet, designed to compete with Europe&#39;s Airbus Group and Boeing Co of the United States, the rivals who dominate the global supply of airliners.

The 150-seater C919 is scheduled to stage an often-delayed maiden flight this year, but industry sources say this will now slip to 2017, three years behind original plan.

Airbus and Boeing continue to expand in China with recent plant announcements. Boeing is expected to announce a new supplier partnership at the show, which runs until November 6.
