During the opening ceremony of the air show on Tuesday, China featured unprecedented flight performances of three types of stealth fighter jets, namely the debut of Beijing’s newly unveiled J-35A, a group of J-20s, and Russia’s first-time visitor Su-57.

China also unveiled the Wing Loong-X drone, showcasing its full anti-submarine capabilities for the first time.

Built with fully independent intellectual property, the Wing Loong-X drone is a medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial system with long-range, heavy payload capacity, and the ability to perform multiple tasks, reported Global Times.

These weapons can benefit China during its possible conflict with Taiwan or other rival powers in the future.
