這篇報導的起源貌似來自印度IDRW網站的一篇文章:Did India’s Su-30s were able to see Chinese J-20 Stealth aircraft?
這篇文章在引述印度空軍高級官員有關印度的SU-30能發現J-20的陳述後,提到:他(印度空軍高級官員)沒有用確鑿的證據來證實他所說的話,或者(他的話)實際上不過是華而不實的空話。 ...While he never confirmed claims he was making was backed by hard facts or were more a rhetoric in nature...
而且這篇文章末尾也提出了疑問:每當中國空軍在中印邊界附近進行空中演習時,印度空軍總是能追踪並發現它們嗎?前線負責監視中國空軍此類軍事演習的的Su-30真的能在那裡發現J-20嗎?好吧,也許我們永遠無法從(中印空軍)雙方那裡得到直接答案... ...IAF which becomes super active in the region every time PLAAF conducts air exercise near its border able to track and detect them? , Frontline Su-30s which are tasked to monitor such air exercises by PLAAF were able to sniff J-20 in the area? Well we might never get straight answers to this questions from both sides...
