Odd how that plane looks almost identical to an F-14 Tomcat. Did they buy one used from one of our so-called allies, steal the blueprints via their usual, daily technology theft or did obamao just given them one because he likes them and he wants them to continue to buy our debt?
Theft, I’d bet. Look at their new predator, their newest fighter, everything else. Looks just like ours!
F14s date to the 1970s. US Navy replaced them 5-6 years ago.
Iran had them before the Islamic Revolution. Still uses them, AFAIK!
That’s a copy of a Russian bird, IMO.
Actually, it is a direct copy of the Russian Su-33, and the Russkis are none too happy about it...
Remember all those “missing” laptops during the Clinton administration? Those years were an orgy of US largesse to China, all in return for money and reelection.
It actually looks nothing like the F-14. The Tomcat was a swing-wing plane, which the J-15 isn’t. What the J-15 looks like (as in, 100% identical) is the Russian SU-33 naval fighter. Which is not surprising since the J-15 is a copy of that fighter.
had the same thoughts.

Buy!?? BUY!!??? Have you forgotten how much intelligence material Clinton gave China or allowed the, to steal!??
Only to a neophyte.

It's well known that the Soviets were all over the Iranian F-14s after the Shah was deposed so the Sukhoi and MiG designers had unfettered access to go over them with a fine toothed comb. However, the Chicomms had no need to obtain a Tomcat from Iran. They just copied the Su-33 and Su-27 they acquired from the Soviets.
