China Develops J-10 Stealth Fighter

China has been working on increasing its defense power. Initially the company blinded a U.S. satellite with a laser, and then they destroyed a satellite more than 500 miles up and now the country officials are spending the most in five years in defense.
The result of this is a new J-10 stealth fighter. This is the country’s first indigenous state-of-the-art fighter jet.
The machine is a single-seat and single-engine plane that can reach a speed of Mach 2. The country officials also commented that the jet is thought to be the equal of just about every other fighter in the world. The only exception is America’s new F-22 Raptor.
China is also sending this new jet to Russia where current and former Red militaries will team up in joint exercises.
China has also started working on the upgrade of this new jet with new jets named J-12 and J-13 in the development phase.
