J-20 deployed to frontier patrol

After 7 years of testing, China is ready and has ordered J-20 to start patrolling its frontiers in the South China Sea. They say J-20 may be deployed to islands in South China Sea so as to cover military intrusions from Pacific, to Indian Oceans, to Australia. The commander claimed these J-20 will served as air dominance and anti-ship roles while on patrol. He further emphasized the patrols are to ensure unidentified foreign military air or sea aggressors will not caused an obstruction to trade lanes or cause danger to civilian vessels. We note, the J-20 is currently the longest ranging stealth fighter and if it takes off from one of the islands in South China Sea it can fly to Tasmania and back easily. The Chinese says this is the new status quo and live with it. Further note: the serial number on one J-20 in the video is 78272 indicating there are at least 72 J-20 in service currently.
