#3 The thing is huge, needs six engines to fly and with extra bits sticking out that means it has the radar cross-section of Rosie Odonell. Not too worried about it just like I'm not worried about their J-20.

#5 I don't see how this weapon helps them against Taiwan. They already have a lot of airpower but the problem of getting an invading army across 100 miles of ocean doesn't get easier with this jet.

and as for threatening the USA homeland, they already have lots and lots of missiles.

Is this fighter jet just supposed to frighten Japan and the Philippines?
