Chinese stealth jet is 'super weapon' that could control the skies

A new super long range Chinese fighter jet has stunned the world after the plane was spotted on its maiden voyage missing one key feature.

The stealthy 'super weapon' was spotted over China and speculation suggests the country may be on the edge of unveiling new high-performance combat aircraft.



According to defense news and analysis website The War Zone, the fighter is speculated to have the ability to fly on edge of space and has been designed to target US early warning aircraft and tankers that could not be reached before.

'But above all else, if procured in an operation form by the PLAAF, it would be able to fly over long regional distances and loiter for extended periods on station far from home without tanker support - something China lacks in terms of capacity versus the United States,' the website stated.

'It would also presumably be able to do this in closer proximity to threats than any other manned aircraft in China's arsenal'.

The new jet was spotted alongside a Chengdu J-20, the current generation of fighters - compared to the US Air Force's F-22.

The War Zone stated the plane was spotted conducting a daytime test flight, alongside the current generation serving as a chase plane.
