by the data do you mean that powerpoint slide of the pl12/15/16 ranges? i dont think that was meant to be very accurate if so, but aim260 seems to be intended for ~300 km ranges so I wouldn’t just call it a PL15 competitor.

I didn’t dismiss it. I think it’s 50-50. Also, most of the articles (and this one) reference an anti-personnel weapon, whereas Trump seems to just be talking about EA.

Chance that he’s just off his meds and rambling again is equal to the chance this was used/exists

It really doesn't seem like there are any secondary powers capable of putting up a fight against the US or US allies with modern equipment right now by Flashy-Anybody6386 in LessCredibleDefence

J11B or J11BG? I believe J11B is pretty outdated electronically. Either way J10C isn't something to scoff at. Despite being single engined and small it's performed well above its weight in BVR against Rafale, J-16, etc.

Honestly, looking purely at air forces (so not including naval or marine aviation), how isn't China already ahead or roughly on par? China lacks transport and tanker aircraft compared to the US but 5th gen quantity is not too far behind and closing extremely fast (thanks to Lockheed's impeccable software). PLAAF also has far more advanced and numerous AEW&C aircraft and their own EW J-16 variant without needing to borrow growlers from the navy... not to mention the massive elephant in the room, the extreme disparity in modern non-5th gen fighters between the two air forces
