Beijing, Feb 9 (UNI) China has commissioned J-20 stealth fighter jets into combat units, boosting its air force capabilities, a spokesman said on Friday.
The J-20 is China's fourth-generation medium and long-range fighter jet. It made its maiden flight in 2011 and was first shown to the public at the 11th Airshow China in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, in November 2016.
China has also sped up capacity building in anti-missile air defence, setting the precedent of shooting down an enemy plane with ground-to-air missiles and equipping the army with Chinese-developed HQ-9 anti-aircraft missiles, Air force spokesman Shen Jinke had earlier said.
