PUBLISHED on August 7, 2025, 04:08 PM EDT - Key Points and Summary - In a tale of two different design philosophies, this article compares the modernized 4.5-generation F-15EX Eagle II with China's 5th-generation J-20 stealth fighter.

-The J-20 is a purpose-built stealth interceptor designed to strike first from beyond visual range. The F-15EX is a non-stealthy "missile truck" that compensates with overwhelming firepower, superior maneuverability, and advanced electronic warfare.
 
-While the J-20's stealth gives it the advantage at a distance, the author concludes the F-15EX's superior agility and internal 20mm cannon would likely make it the winner in a close-range dogfight.

Considering the J-20 is a piece of under-powered junk, no contest.

Yeah, and ChiComs pilots aren't nearly as good as USAF pilots.  The F-15EX's would eat them

But the MSM, in their constant drive to demean America, are always making it look like China is at least as capable.

Yeah, but in a Communist military, pilots are not free to act independently as in western air forces.

Same thing in the PLAN - the skipper of a PLAN ship has to ask his 2nd in Command and the political officer before taking any action.
