In terms of appearance and size, the new fighter tested in Chengdu is broadly aligned with next-generation fighter standards. This aircraft is unprecedentedly equipped with three engines, possibly including a ramjet engine propulsion, indicating superior speed and high-altitude performance compared to existing fifth-generation fighters. It is hard to tell now whether it possesses multi-domain awareness and collaborative combat capabilities with different platforms, but given China’s rapid advancement in communication, radar, drone and long-range strike capabilities, breakthroughs in these technologies can be expected.
