The base is located just 400 kilometres away from Indian forces, while the J-20 has a combat radius of approximately 2,000 kilometres and advanced penetration strike capabilities rivalled only by those of the American F-35.

Following the release of the first images showing China’s ultra-heavyweight sixth generation fighter program had brought its fifth flight prototype into flight testing, assessments of the airframe’s design have shown significant further refinements made between airframes, indicating a rapid rate of progress in development. Imagery shows a revised engine intake geometry, changes to the aircraft’s exhaust arrangement, and additional shaping intended to improve both aerodynamic performance and low-observable characteristics.
