Chinese CHEENGDU J-20 fighter flew in "Beast Mode" with 12 missiles on board (video)

The CHEENGDU J-20 fighter is called the main competitor of the American F-35. The ability to carry a lot of rockets and bombs makes it a formidable but noticeable weapon for the enemy. The Chinese invisible J-20 fighter, equipped with 12 air-air rockets, worked in "Beast Mode". The flight video was shown by The War Zone. US military experts use the term "beast mode" when the fighter carries more bombs or missiles than a standard combat load.

The J-20 fighter can affect the whole at a distance of up to 300 kilometers. The video shows eight rockets on four-sided aircraft pylons, but experts say the J-20 can carry four more long-range missiles in a large internal compartment. Probably the fighter nose is 12 rockets at once. The potential for the J-20 fighter to carry 12 missiles on board is significant in terms of ammunition, but we have to sacrifice the characteristics of inconsistency.

But if you correctly optimize tactics, it will not be a serious problem, the authors add. In addition, the J-20 in the "Beast Mode" can act as a carrier of arsenal of rockets for other tactical aircraft, including the future invisible fighter J-35. The J-20 aircraft is a fifth-generation fighter manufactured by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation. Initially, it was projected as a competitor of the American F-35 fighter and called one of China's main achievements in military aviation.

However, the West criticizes the J-20 aircraft and do not believe that it is approaching American by its counterparts. The power plant of the Chinese fighter is clearly weaker, air experts say. In addition, the China's army has more fifth fighters than the US military. The focus earlier wrote how the Russian fighter Su-57 flew from the runway in just 11-12 seconds. The new AL-41F1 engines give the machine more power. The Ukrainian Air Force received the first Miraage 2000 fighters from France.
