The first appearance of the J-20 steal fighter jet will be attested by the key personnel from the Chinese defense, the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and the Russian defense industry. They will gather together in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai on Tuesday until November 6.

Daily Mail reports that AVIC remembers its sacred mission to serve China, said AVIC chief Tan. He further said that the company will carry out the strategic plan of the Communist party, the government and the People's Liberation Army and closely unite around the core leadership of the comrade Xi Jinping. He added that AVIC would persistently struggle to realize the dream of a great Chinese air force and a strong military.

The show will also feature the introduction of the Y-20 transport aircraft. These can assist with the military activities by moving heavy loads and carrying out airlifts. Other drones and fighter jets including the Chinese-made military assault vehicles and anti-aircraft missile systems are also demonstrated outside the exhibition center.
