China Claims J-20 Beats B-21 - Dare to Trust? Their Carriers, Missiles & Nuclear Subs Mere Junk
.
On November 27th, the South China Morning Post reported that in a simulated air combat, China's J-20 fighter jet, using advanced "conformal skin" technology, successfully detected the United States' B-21 and used a hypersonic missile traveling at Mach 6 to shoot down the B-21 Cerberus stealth bomber and its unmanned wingman. This report was picked up by more than ten global media outlets, but it also sparked skepticism about its authenticity. Some commentators noted a tendency to believe in the United States' ability to find and address threats over believing CCP propaganda. Some readers joked that Chinese Communist Party propaganda seems capable of shooting down the moon, while others pointed out that the CCP, although technologically inferior to the U.S., is serious about boasting to its 1.4 billion population.
