@SREEJUSv
go to learn, no brainer
The fact that this question is even being asked shows that many Indians lack an understanding of modern air combat. They seem to have little concept of 1) stealth technology, 2) electromagnetic air warfare, and 3) loyal wingman drones.
Stealth Technology: To effectively counter a stealth fighter, you need experience with stealth technology. Before China developed the J-20, the country, like India today, devised numerous strategies to combat U.S. stealth fighters. However, once China had the J-20 and began practical exercises, the PLAAF found that none of those so-called anti-stealth strategies worked in real scenarios. Similarly, Indians might have their own ideas about how they would defeat a stealth fighter, but without firsthand experience, these strategies are unlikely to be effective.
Electromagnetic Warfare: India also lacks an understanding of electromagnetic warfare. A prime example is the 2019 Balakot conflict, where they failed to understand why their targets were missed and why a MiG-21 was shot down. The U.S. has the EA-18G Growler, and China now has the J-16D, which serves a similar purpose in this type of warfare.
Loyal Wingman Drones: China is developing fighter drones like the FH-97, which are equipped with air-to-air missiles. A group of 4 to 6 drones can fly 20-40 km ahead of a J-20, controlled by the J-20. When these drones detect an IAF target, they can launch PL-15 missiles to engage the enemy, rather than the J-20 doing so directly.
Still think you’re strong? Perhaps, but only when you lack awareness of these developments.
