When exporting these planes to India, I'm curious what type of cooperation between these 2 nations. I don't think it's a good idea for planes to be built in India even there is a technology transfer...
Very attractive price for a new gen stealth fighter costs only 100M IMO...
Just have no idea what the maintenance cost is like...
As I've seen in other forums, China's J-10 has a bit of a problem with the maintenance issues... So, accordingly, I think the J-20 still have a long way to go before it can be delivered to the market... As per US, they anticipated 2018; For others, some think it can be as early as 2014... To me, I don't think it can come to production in 2016... Does it make sense to you?
J-10B gets a better air intake and a more advanced radar system... It's obviously better than J-10A, which is more like a demo to the public...
For J-20, I really don't have any clue for the stealth portion... T-50 is a real good competitor in terms of price and quality. Other than China and Pakistan, I don't know which nation will take it... Another thing is, China is weak on the advance military marketing strategy... They are working okay on the low-to-medium end products, but definiitely not on the high-end territory...

... yes, smooth is a plus, but it depends on the shape, size and the angle of reflection , too...
