The J-10 is derived from Israel's cancelled Lavi project, Bill Clinton had little to do with it.
". . . developed with Israeli help using the U.S. F-16 fighter as a template."
Thanks Israel!
Looks like a hybrid F-16, Tornado, Saab, F-4 Phantom, and Mirage.
So, does it use American technology?
Courtesy of Israel. Would they have done this without our approval?
Italy is a partner in the Cassini-Huygens mission (more space, than aero- though).
"China "has become the world's fourth country that is capable of developing on its own advanced fighter planes, engines and missiles,"
"Fourth? Sweden, the UK, Italy, France, Russia, the US, Japan..."
Consider the ignorant retards that wrote this crap:
"Teheran Times"
Looks more French than American to me.
Built with 100% STOLEN technology.
"Maybe we can have an overflight during Hillary's inaugural."
That would warm her heart.
To put all the blame on Israel is to be unfair.Pakistan loaned it's Chicom buddies an F-16 while Russia greatly helped with the avionics,engines & weaponry.
"It looks pretty old tech.... "
All you guys are missing the bigger picture here. That is the Chinese have the capabaility to make their own jets. This is really monumental even if they have older technology. I look for huge developments from them in 8-10 years.
Hey all, check out my hate mail from Moker!!! Thanks Moker your dillusion is noted. Go Yankees!!!
"Listen up dude,
the chinese never steal anything from anyone. history proves this, thier culture was the most advanced in the pass 3000 years compared with america's 100 years. america's army/airforce/navy are only good at relying on superior technology, but when it comes to a real war with a big country, it loses every time. why is it that the US always pick on countries that are smaller at itself, and why does the US get ask for assitance from smaller countries like UK, germany and france? I mean surely a big powerful country like america can cope with the likes of iraq. It can't even beat iraq, what good is all this technology. I tell you one thing, you should get your facts straight before you start boosting about your yankee superiority.
