US test pilot says China J-20 fighter outclasses US fighters
2016-09-28
  • the J-20 is also called the Black Eagle

  • the J-20 looks kind of like an F-22 Raptor

  • It basically is a copy as China stole TERAbytes of F-35 data and they pieced together the basic tenets of stealth technology and apply them to its modern aircraft designs.

  • the J-20 is that it is a single seat, twin engine, canard/delta design, stealthy fighter platform. There are just four copies being tested right now, with fully operational fighters predicted to be ready by 2018.

#10  Call me back when the Chi Comms can launch and recover 150 sorties per day for 30 days - for 10 aircraft carriers.

#8  Didn't the husband of our current POTUS candidate pretty much let the Chinese have the blueprints on the F-22.

As screwed up as the F-35 is, you would think giving the Chinese the software would be considered cyber warfare at its finest.

I suppose the Chinese really need that logistics software to manage their spare parts supply chain.

And if the Chinese get their F-35 to work, maybe we should buy a couple from them and reverse engineer them to see what we did right.

#7  Sounds more like panic propaganda to increase funding for the F-35 "Grounded Turkey"!

#6  Have you flown one yet?

Go back to strategy page and you'll find postings of the Chinese having problems perfecting modern aircraft engines for their military aircraft and having to still buy Russian equipment. Got to have power to fly and maintainability to stay aloft.

#4  With the money they saved on Ali Baba parts, it's quite a toy.
