Didn't China also said a while ago they detected F-22 F-35 when it was deploying to Korea or Japan? If so this is pretty normal.

I think stealth fighter is really only stealthy from the front angle, there is plenty of surfaces to reflect back the radar from side, behind or even when its turning showing its belly. However in a war scenario, they will fly towards you from the front and you will be dead before you have the chance to detect it, and that is what makes the difference.

Also there were rumors that in exercise of J-20 vs J-11, a J-20 was only shut down after it runs out of missiles and decide to turn back? If so nothing new here.

India wary as Maldives & Pakistan discuss joint EEZ patrolling in Indian Ocean

Ringing alarm bells in India, Maldives and Pakistan have discussed the possibility of joint patrol of the vast exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the strategically-located Indian Ocean state during the visit of the Pakistan army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa. Bajwa is on a rare visit to the Maldives for a Pakistani chief of army staff – his last two predecessors had not travelled to the archipelago.

Yes I'm aware of this. One on hand it could be just another completely worthless statement brought into existence to justify some more self-congratulating (I think this is it). On the other, they could have high quality UHF radars that are designed purely to spot stealth planes. We already know Russia and China have had many types of "counter-stealth" radars for over a decade (the tech is probably mature enough to direct effective means of targeting stealth platforms by now). So it's very possible India has at least the beginnings of such technologies.

This has already been discussed in other threads.

The J20 has been nowhere near the Indian boarder for India to have had the opportunity to even get a go at trying to detect it.

Without any new first hand information to add, the Indian Air Marshal was just going off existing, already debunked, western and Taiwan open source claims rubbishing the J20’s stealth capacity.

Also, the exact works used by the Indian AM was the J20 would be detectable from a ‘few km’, which would be true enough, as no existing stealth aircraft can claim to be undetectable from such a short range.

He's probably just fluffing the Indian civilian leadership (which like anywhere else whether in Beijing, DC, Lon, Tehran, Tel Aviv), doesn't really have a good idea of what defense (or in general) technology actually does.

Though he didn't say anything technically untrue, mind you.

Indian security forces launched a decisive counter-terror operation yesterday in the Kashmiri districts of Shopian and Anantnag resulting in the deaths of at least 13 terrorists, three Indian security forces soldiers, and four civilians. The operation, which took out members of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), sparked large protests of angry civilians that clashed with Indian forces.

reported that the number of wounded could be as high as 70, many of them civilians. Regional reporting recounted that protestors threatened and threw stones at Indian security personnel, forcing soldiers to respond with tear gas, pellets, and even live ammunition.

Indian military officials praised the operation as a success, despite the response from protestors. At a press conference following the clashes, Indian Lt. General AK Bhatt

Indian officials also gave the impression that the campaign was a response to a

saying, “We have avenged his (Fayez’s) death.” Two terrorists allegedly responsible for Fayez’s 2017 murder were among those killed Sunday.

India has increased its presence and operational tempo in the Kashmir Valley over the last year as part of “Operation All Out,” an initiative announced in 2017 with the goal of quelling terrorism and bringing peace to the Jammu and Kashmir region. Clashes between Pakistani-backed terror outfits and Indian security forces have been a consistent reminder of a conflict that has been simmering for decades.

Many of the terrorists killed in past encounters were Pakistanis who crossed the border into Kashmir to engage Indian forces. However, the majority of the terrorists killed Sunday were identified as young

That local angle likely contributed to the increasingly hostile protests that confronted Indian forces during and following the operation.

On Monday, thousands of people turned out to attend the funerals of the terrorists and civilians killed the previous day.

Pakistani officials and influential leaders of its sponsored terror groups in Kashmir have lashed out in statements since the operation, accusing the Indian government of human rights abuses and atrocities. Internationally-designated terrorist, founder and current leader of LeT, Hafiz Saeed released a video statement

Another perfectly written biased media reporting.... completely changed the scenario from the reality..... No Words....really pathetic....

" A freedom movement of Kashmir people since last 7 decades (lost Thousand of lives, thousand of people become handicapped due to the brutality of Indian forces) .... being labelled Terrorism... since it dose not fit in for the vested interest of world powers...despite of many UN resolutions for the right of Kashmiri people self determination.... "

Under UN resolution, world powers should enforced the right of vote .... let Kashmir people decide their fate...
