SAC 601 model

That is a SAC 601 model my dear J-7 Hotdog. The design institute which is Chengdu 611 does not have nor represented their design with a model. And it is Chengdu that has the contract to develop and built the JXX/J-20 stealth fighter, not SAC 601. And Yataki is not just any old random CG artist. But believe what you wish to believe J-7 Hotdog, we may all be surprised when the real aircraft emerges from behind the “bamboo” curtain. We shall see who was close – 🙂

CGI

Thanks for the wonderful cgi.

/s

Actually its a very well done computer animation of the aircraft in flight, whereas a simple CGI is still – but thanks. 😀

Chengdu J-14 / J-20 still image from short video

Well here it is at last – I hope – of the long awaited stealth fighter from China’s Chengdu (611) is already reported to have flown for the first time on December 5, 2010. I make no claims here people, just reporting. Those that are interested should watch the video on You Tube

Looks real – but is it?

I knew of this configuration for as long as Kanwa Asian Defence published an article on the Chengdu J-14. But it is almost totally different from all of the fanboy CGs that have been produced over the last two years.:cool:

JXX CG artwork

Sorry about the above – still though very fine artwork !!;)

Why re-engage?

With an operational F-12B, one shot of just one of its AIM-47 would do the job. Why would they want or even need to re-engage a target – or targets??:confused: Since the air to air missile AIM-47 Super Falcon was nuclear-tipped, it could more than destroy a single target. It could even have taken out a whole squadron of invading bombers; attack aircraft; and/or their escorts with one missile shot. With nuclear rounds such as this there would be no need to re-engage the target. So my question again – why would it need to re-engage:confused: And the more than Mach 4 closure rate is almost insignificant as a consequence. 😎
