Gee, I wonder which DemonRAT TRAITOR sold the ChiComs the specs for Stealth and other advanced technologies?

No need to sell it, they were being paid to be on the team. A prominent engineer for the B2 was a chinese spy.

We have aircraft superior to even the F-22 that is still in development but operational, I’m not joking and I’m also not saying a damm thing more about this.

“I hope it’s better than chinese toothpaste.”

Not if we have to fight them. I hope it falls apart in the air.

Still in development but operational? Was that a misstatement or do we have a test aircraft out there doing operational missions?

For a long time South Africa was great at taking a design and recreating it but the Chinese excell at this. It’s a mistake to sell them short.

Any sketches of pix of this fighter available?

The Japanese Zero was a nasty surprise 68 years ago. It would be unwise to assume the Chinese incapable of building a surprisingly good fighter, too.

Alot of the other things the Chinese build is EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD.

Note to all: Germany had technical superiority over American planes and tanks in WW II.

Only American superiority in numbers made victory possible.

Thanks to traitors in both parties, we are now well down the path to repeating the German doctrine.

To expect different results from repetitive behavior is a definition of insanity.

To borrow a phrase from the Germans, “Traitors Raus!”

Maybe they will loan us more $$ so we can build a better one, and free health care too.

“I believe the Chinese have a difficult road if their design is tied to the J-10,” he says. “As you know, significantly reduced signature requires more then coatings. The J-10 has many features which may produce the desired aerodynamic effects but would be a negative for signature reduction. I am sure they can somewhat reduce the signature with a few design tweaks and coatings but the operational relevance would be questionable."

Translation: A pig with lipstick on it is still a pig.

Too late, and being as I am your supervisor on this project, you are FIRED.

By 44 we had technical and numerical. Our industrial base will never be able to output like ww2 again.

“A new Chinese fighter with stealth and supercruise is in development and may soon make its first flight.”

What we do have in abundances is the joystick Xbox generation.

The future of dogfighting will most likely not have pilots in the aircraft. An aircraft with a human pilot is limited in its G factors, an unmanned aircraft can be more maneuverable and expendable.

“A new Chinese fighter with stealth and supercruise is in development and may soon make its first flight with predictions of operational fielding by 2017-19..........”

Better than the F-22 at what, being a fighter? I hope you’re right, but I think we would have heard about it.

Does the Chinese military have enough strength of diversity to be a threat to us?
