The Mighty J-20 Fighter Jet βοΈ
This is like the big brother of the J-35A. The J-20 is a heavy stealth fighter designed for air battles. Think of it as a superhero in the sky! π¦ΈββοΈ
The J-10CE and PL-15E Missile π
The J-10CE is another awesome fighter jet equipped with the PL-15E, a long-range air-to-air missile. That means it can defend the skies from far away!

This special plane can land on water and help put out fires! It’s like a flying firefighter. How cool is that?
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) π€πΈ

What’s the Paris Air Show? π‘
