General Kenneth S. Wilsbach, the head of U.S Pacific Air Forces, has offered his insights into China’s growing fleet of J-20 stealth fighters. The general says that the J-20 does not constitute a "dominating aircraft at this point compared to the capabilities of the U.S., and those of its allies and partners,”. Wilsbach’s remarks were given at the 2023 iteration of the Air & Space Forces Association's annual symposium. He stated, "I don’t think that it’s a dominating aircraft at this point, compared to what we have [in terms of stealthy F-22 Raptors and F-35 Lightnings]. They’ve done some good copying… pretty much most of the technology from that airplane [the J-20] was stolen from the U.S." The statement is broadly in line with his remarks made last year. At that event, the general noted how J-20s "weren’t anything to lose a lot of sleep over," but that, "Certainly, we're watching them [China] closely and seeing how they… operate them." This assessment was supported by Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles Q. Brown, who was also speaking at the 2022 symposium: "Well, I'm like General Wilsbach… [The J-20 is] not something to lose a lot of sleep over, but I'm gonna pay attention to it.” In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why the head of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces thinks that the Chinese J-20 is not a domination aircraft ?
