Nothing quite like an unbiased source.

Once upon a time, no matter how good the aircraft is, it was the pilot that truly made the difference--

However, nowadays technology is making the aircraft more capable at long distances where dog fighting never happens and pilot experience counts for less and less.

An example is the advanced active and passive electronic warfare systems that allow the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor to acquire targets for its own weapons at ranges greater than their opponents.

If China is able to steal, reverse engineer and make work such for their warplanes, it could make it a very, very long day if they decide to take on the US Air Force and Navy in the Pacific. Especially after Obama, his Liberal Democrat allies and RINOs get finished ripping the guts our of our military forces.
