A new Chinese stealth fighter jet, believed to be a 6th-generation model, has been showcased in a video on social media. Its unique design may make it hard to detect with traditional radar systems. This development comes as India currently lacks a stealth fighter jet. China has previously deployed its advanced J-20 stealth fighters near the Indian border, raising concerns for India's defense capabilities. The Chengdu J-20, introduced in 2017, is already in service with an estimated 250 units. India counters this with its fleet of Rafale fighters, but the introduction of the new Chinese jet could shift the balance.
