Chinese media publishes pictures of undertrial stealth fighter
The under-trial fighter plane named "Blue Ribbon" is regarded as a rival to US stealth fighter F-22 Raptor and Russia's Sukhoi T-50.
The plane was test flown early this year during the visit of former US Defence Secretary Robert Gates.
According to Chinese defence analysts J-20 possesses advanced air mobility, highlighting the country's technological breakthroughs.
Simultaneously China is also conducting advanced trials of its first aircraft carrier.
Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng told media here last week that previous sea trials have achieved expected results and more research tests will be carried out.
As per the previous plans the carrier, hull of which was imported from Ukraine is expected to be ready by August this year.
The carrier is capable of carrying 30 Chinese-made J-15 jet fighters and helicopters and will have a crew of around 2,000. PTI KJV SAR AKD
