In yesterday’s CCTV military channel, there was a rare disclosure of a real encounter involving the J-20. The report mentioned that several J-20s had just landed when they received news of foreign military aircraft approaching Chinese airspace. They immediately took off to intercept the threat. Throughout the confrontation, they maintained a favorable position, continuously gaining the upper hand, and eventually forcing the foreign military aircraft to retreat.
The report did not mention the nationality, type, or exact time and location of the foreign military aircraft. However, it is widely speculated that the aircraft capable of prompting an immediate takeoff of recently landed J-20s should be fifth-generation jets, such as the F-35A stationed at Japan’s Kadena Air Base, which had previously been deployed to South Korea’s Gwangju Air Base during joint exercises between South Korea and the United States in February. Below is the original report:
A foreign military aircraft approaches our airspace
Members of the ‘Wanghai Squadron’ (Note: Elite squadron of the Chinese Air Force equipped with J-20s) had just landed, dust still clinging to their aircraft,
But without delay, they grabbed their helmets, transitioning from training to combat.
Several J-20s took off to intercept the threat.
When the foreign military saw us rising to the occasion,
They likely aimed to overwhelm us with their presence
Or in some other aspect.
But at this moment, we certainly cannot retreat.
I must transform my momentum into victory.
Throughout the confrontation with the enemy,
(We) remained in a
Relatively advantageous position.
After several rounds of intense engagement,
Our aircraft continued to dominate the battlefield,
Ultimately driving off the foreign military aircraft.
