The original video is above, unfortunately, it is in Chinese and with no subtitle. I will simply translate some bullet points here.
1.J-20's production number will be at least over 100+, it is an aircraft for combat, the air force really wants it, they want it as soon as possible. It will likely enter service sometime in 2017.
2. J-20 program featured unprecedented level of competition involved through biding and overall development, something you never see before in Chinese military development. Its development started more than a decade ago.
3. It is designed for Asia-pacific combat environment, it is specific for China's geopolitical circumstance from now on to foreseeable future.
4. It will be expensive, so air force will unlikely use it only for air superiority. Air to ground and air to sea capabilities are also on the list, but it may take more than one step to achieve. (PS: perhaps first A2A, then later upgrade with better A2G capability?)
5. Original objective for its avionics system is to match that on F-22, but later changed to match F-35 level. Application of early development (similar to F-22's avionics architecture) has been applied to some improved Gen 3 aircraft.
6. J-20's development has not been facing "major problem" so far. But it has some issues, mainly data fusion and how to better transfer it into real combat capability. It is not an engineering issues, youngs kids now know how to write code and make the functionalities happen. Rather, it is a problem from the user end. The air force needs plenty of time and exercises to figure out how to use the platform to its max potential, both in current and future environment. The evaluation process is time consuming, it could take even longer than the actual development of the aircraft itself. The American took more than a decade to figure out how to "use" the Gen 4 fighter in every circumstance, and I doubt they figure it out by now. So we will take at least same amount of time. (PS: hmm, interesting)
7. The chief J20 test pilot who made the maiden flight in 2011 is also one of my "apprentice". After the maiden flight, on the same day, he called me on telephone that flying J20 was such a pleasant experience and that he simply did not want to land the aircraft. 15 mins was simply not enough. I had the chance to get in the cockpit of one early prototype, though I could not fly it, I feel what he said.
