Chinese state media has revealed new details regarding the stealth capabilities of the J-35 fifth generation fighter, which was confirmed to have been commissioned into service in serrate variants in both the Air Force and in the Navy in July. The fighter program has benefited from significant research and development work done for China’s first stealth fighter, the J-20, from the late 1990s, with this aircraft having seen its stealth capabilities incrementally improved since it first entered service in the Air Force in February 2017.

The U.S. Air Force is currently studying the possibility of developing a large flying wing stealth aircraft specifically for air-to-air combat operations, with the development of an air superiority optimised variant of the B-21 strategic bomber currently under consideration. The concept could see stealth fighters such as the F-35 and upcoming F-47 assigned to detect and designate targets at range, after which bomber-sized aircraft shoot them down, which would circumvent the major limitations on internal missile carriage affecting fighter-sized aircraft.
What happens if, in the opening hours of a crisis on the Korean peninsula, U.S. reconnaissance satellites turned their gaze elsewhere? For South Korea, this is not an abstract question, but a pressing national security vulnerability. Despite being a global technology powerhouse, Seoul remains heavily dependent on U.S. — and, to a lesser extent, Japanese — intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets for early warning and strategic awareness.
