China tells its J-20 better than Rafael, former IAF Chief Dhanoa Said

Former Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa on Friday exposed China's claim that his J-20 fighter aircraft were better than Rafale. The Communist Party of China mouthpiece Global Times quoted an 'expert' as saying that the Rafael Sukhoi-30 is better than the MKI jet, but does not stand in front of the J-20.

The Communist Party's propaganda website quoted an alleged military expert, Zhang Shufeng, as saying, "This is only a quarter of the generation advance and there are not many changes in terms of quality." The website quoted an anonymous expert as saying that Rafael Only the third plus generation has a fighter jet and will not run in front of the J-20.

Former Air Force Chief BS Dhanoa, who described Rapel as a 4.5-generation fighter jet, exposed China's claims through two simple questions. Dhanoa asked, "If the J-20 is a fifth-generation fighter jet, then why are it on the Canards, while the US's fifth-generation fighter planes F22, F35 and Russia's fifth-generation Su 57 do not." The 'canards are mounted next to the main wing to improve the control of the aircraft.

Dhanoa said, "I do not believe the J-20 is so powerful as to be called a fifth-generation because the canard increases the radar signature to position the long-range Meteor missiles, which are in Rafale."

The former Air Force Chief asked China the second question that if the product of the J-20, Chengdu Aerospace Corporation calls it a 5th generation fighter jet, then why does it not have supercruise capability? Supercruise is the ability that fighter jets can fly higher than M 1.0 (speed of sound) without using afterburners.

Dhanoa told Hindustan Times, "Rafael has supercruise capability and radar signature can be compared to the best fighter jets in the world." With Dhanoa Sukhoi 30 MKI, all the best fighter planes in India have flown. Balakot Airstrike was handled by Dhanoa along with the National Security Advisor.

Dhanoa, who retired from the top post of the Air Force, dismembered the Chinese propaganda this week and said that China would replace the US F-16 for the attack on the Nangi Tekri bridge in Rajouri on 27 February 2019 if Chinese weapons were really good. The Chinese would have chosen the JF-17. But China used the JF-17 only to provide an air defense cover to the Mirage 3/5.
