Satellite images from May 27 have shown China has deployed some J-20 ‘Mighty Dragon’ fifth-generation fighter jets within around 150 kilometers or 93 miles of the disputed Indian border (called the Line of Actual Control). India and China are two giant Asian rivals with a complicated relationship. While they are both founding BRICS members, they have also had territorial border disputes that have been the scenes of deadly clashes in recent years. The J-20 came into service in 2017, and China is believed to have a fleet of around 250 of them.
