#1ʉۢthe J-20 looks kind of like an F-22 Raptor

Couldn't possibly be because THEY STOLE THE FUCKING BLUEPRINTS, could it?

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

#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.

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

#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.

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