You’re so stupid its funny.
“You admit its half stealth”, that is not what he said-he said it looks like a su-27 yf-23 mix.
“why does russia have a habit of copying losing american designs”
Are you retarded? T-50 isn’t a copy of the yf-23, FUNCTION DICTATES DESIGN.
Su-25 isn’t a copy of anything, its a ground attack aircraft. Its purpose is to be heavily armed and slower than a fighter jet. They only look just barely alike.
An-72 is Ukrainian and I don’t see how building with a engine layout concept is copying.
su-25 is more closer to a9 than j20 to cancelled mig. also no ukraine country exist when an72 was made. please learn history
Half stealth? Is that some new Chinese definition?
russian translation of half stealth is something like 4++ or 4+++ add as much + as you want.
No, I see swarms of half literate drunk Chinahaters invading J-20 threads screaming China suck, USA/Russia strong!!
What I don’t see is those Chinese “nationalistic” posters burying US and Russian aircraft threads with endless repetitive ****posts. Whereas over half the pages of every Chinese aircraft thread will be spammed to a raging death by the same bunch of idiots who have no interest in Chinese aircraft in the first place.
i dont know why russiabots come and attack chinese aviation because china and russia are allies. china can help russia with many things like upgrade their carriers and provide j15 which is more modern than su33 russia use, but russians cannot accept it because of blind racism against china.
I will only answer briefly here:
1. I don’t give damn about what you think the T-50 resembles. For me it resembles an YF-23’s front combined with Su-27’s rear.
so as you admit, it is half stealth. many agreeing with you there so why do we argue about a half stealth design when we all admit it?
also why does russia have a habit of copying losing american designs? yf23 and pakfa, su25 and a9, yc14 and an72, etc etc etc
Thats because they aren’t. Those are AL-31 with painted-over/covered nozzles.
Even the nozzle movement cycle is the same.

Same fuel dumping system, even
lol how ignorant. that is called afterburner. many jets have it
many jets also have fuel dumping system. nice try to make fake comparison

lol.. haters keep making lies again. New chinese engine is not reversed russian engine. no proof that it is. but we know pakfa engine is basically upgraded flanker engine so its engine is based on 30 year old technology.
lol, blind people need to stop hating.
how can they tell j20 engines are ripped off from russian ones when they can only see the back part which is 100% different from the russian engine? now people are saying its american engines. haters just want to hate. also no proof that j20 cannot supercruise. maybe if they assume it uses russian engines then maybe it cannot supercruise because flanker cannot supercruise.
tvc is not needed. j20 is not built for airshow tricks. most new fighters in world do not use russian style tvc. f35, rafael, typhoon, gripen, j31, j20. even f22 does not use tvc in the way russian use.
when indians tried tvc against american f15 they got killed easily.
@TS:
The fist pic is of the X-35B Technology Demonstrator (Prototype) and the second is of a F-35A Production fighter.
Two Very Different Aircraft. 😉
Russia do not use x designation like US does. russia is on 4th pakfa now but us only needed two x35 before upgrading to f35 design
in China they realize the red paint alone is too risky and needs another coat on top
that is why they re-do the russian ship they buy in the 1990s into a safer grey

Hey Tigershark…is it just me or does the first J-20 look identical to the second one??? I ask this as you clearly had a problem with the PAK-FA prototypes look identical…different rules for the J-20???
The only stealthy thing about the J-20 is its stealth….WAAAAA HAHAHA :dev2:
no, open your eyes and see reality
first j20 had no radar and russian engine
second j20 has radar and new chinese engine.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought it was weird that Tigersharks comment of “the new pakfa look the same as the last” was dumber than dumb.
Dear Tigershark, have you failed to pick up on all of those F-35 prototypes that looked…OMG!!!…IDENTICAL!!! Do you think the Pentagon noticed??? :diablo:
no it look very different, open your eyes and see reality

Wow!
Do you really believe that?
This is an internet aviation forum populated by fanboys….do you think the US or the West in general cares how you guys see each other?
On a side note….on Russian forums you will see a lot of stuff against Chinese (“Copying everyone”, which may have merit!, “you need our engines” etc. “low quality”). On Sino Defence you will see even more Chinese trying to take the Russians down a notch (“we are now the number 2 aerospace power. Your shaping is poor! Ours is black and smooth! We don’t need those engines. etc”). This always degenerates into personal attacks on both sides!
So if fanboy discord affects anyone or anything (which it does not. nor do opinions on fighter aircraft proffered on forums affect fighter programs), it would seem that the Evil USA can just sit back and watch.
everyone here need to be reported. they cannot handle the comment i said that the new pakfa look the same as the last one. it is true but they feel hurt somehow. take it too personally.
compare stealth level





lol looks same
I would be interested to see deatiled photos of T-50 #4. It would give insight into Sukhoi’s progress in developing all the small details that make a stealth airplane stealthy.
you mean the thing China already have with j31 and j20
