This J20 plane is a area denial or sniper plane. Mainly doing sabotage.
USA jets are air superiority. J35 will be that category.

The Chinese so far has not say what J-20 key mission will be. But based a few known designs like:

- Recent powerplant upgrades,
- Apparent lack of internal cannon
- At least 6 internally-loaded long range AAMs like PL-15.
- Able to supercruise over great distances,

Many speculate the heavy fighter primary role is long range air superiority interdiction and deep penetration into enemy controlled airspace...to kill high-value defended targets like tankers, AWACS and control command hubs - which US forces are heavily dependent on.
