China’s J-20 flew through the Tsushima Strait. Did anybody else notice?

CCTV report leaves little doubt that the advanced fighter made the flight over the strategic waters

The unit was among the first to receive the new-generation aircraft and while the report did not refer to the J-20 directly, footage of the stealth fighter was shown throughout the segment, leaving little doubt about the aircraft involved.

The Tsushima Strait is a narrow and heavily monitored waterway. It separates South Korea from Japan and is a chokepoint connecting the Sea of Japan – or East Sea – with the East China Sea.

But the transit of the J-20, China’s most advanced stealth fighter, has not been reported by either Seoul or Tokyo.
