The Chinese Military Air Force recently acquired new fifth-generation stealth fighter jets that complete the country's 2,500 massive fleets, making them deadlier than ever in neutralizing threats. The 5th generation jets are just a few of China's addition to its military force.
Beijing is getting upgraded with its Air Forces in its fifth-generation stealth fighter jets, the Chengdu J20, which is the same size as the United States' F-22 and F-35C. Alongside this increasing number in China's airforce is the help of a neighboring country, Russia, with its air defenses design that the Chinese already owns and uses.
Fox News reports that China is stepping up its military forces in the skies with all-new equipment and vehicles to advance the country in military warfare. The Chengdu J20 fifth-generation stealth fighter jets are accompanied by new attack drones, upgraded cargo planes, and the Russian S-400 and S-500 air defense systems
China's deadlier force is considered a massive threat against the United States, trying to keep up with its advanced technology. The Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Forces count a 2,500 fleet of fighter jets, cargo planes, and drones readily available for the country's disposal.
The Pentagon is keeping tabs on China's growing force and keeps an eye on the massive Asian country's advancements. Pentagon's recent publication of the 2020 report on China's Military power ensures the security of United States-China engagement and cooperation.

China's Fifth-Generation Stealth Jets and Cargo Aircraft
The Chinese Chengdu J20 was first sighted in January 2011 while serving as a prototype. This year saw its complete release and use, adding to the country's massive fleet of fighter jets capable of stealth and incredible speeds.
The Chengdu J20 is considered by the Chinese Government and Military to be a fourth-generation aircraft. However, its technology still falls in the fifth according to international standards. This large plane is capable of housing quite a number of short-range missiles. The J20 lacks in terms of maneuverability due to its nature of being a large fighter jet.
On the other hand, China's Y-20 cargo aircraft is a massive bird intended for cargo and moves away from stealth. The easily detectable Y-20 is being configured to be a tanker aircraft capable of doubling the range of the country's fighter jets for a more effective offense tactic.
Department of Defense and Pentagon's Take on China's Air Force
The Department of Defense and Pentagon is studying and keeping a close look at China's increasing forces that prove to be deadlier as of now. The Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) is gearing up in its sizes and is becoming more sophisticated technology with the arrival of the new vehicles.
US Air Force is continuously upgrading its F-15s with new and more advanced weapons that will be enough to defend the country and ensure its effectiveness. A new air force stealth bomber is supposedly arriving in just two years, favoring and equipping the US with an aircraft tech upgrade.
The B-21 bomber will help deliver advanced stealth, software, and nuclear deterrence that can change the United States' tactical approaches in the skies.
