Oh how we forget the Pentagon estimated arrival of the J-20. Now all of the sudden because the DOD says it’s a strike fighter, it’s a strike fighter. Remember the people that said the J-20 had fixed landing gear because they never saw them retracted up in a pic?

Do u know chinese was the first choice as partner for Sino russia PafKa project but china reject Russia proposal and decide to go for their own 5th gen program. So India pick up where china discarded. and I am very sure it is a correct decision based on what we have seen so far from T-50 vs j-20.

And the propaganda in between that and before the emergence of the J-20 was China was begging to be a part of the PAK-FA but was turned down.

If you follow the pattern of military PR events in China like seen in the Olympics or at the National Day parades and it shows with the J-20 crew all dressed up in their uniforms these guys are probably all 5’10”.

But at what ranges?

Only people without a clue think stealth aircraft are actually invisible to radar.

All stealth does is drastically reduce detection ranges, but get a stealth plane close enough to a power radar and it will show up.

Since the Nighthawk is not launched from an aircraft carrier, I’d imagine it was some distance away for naval vessels to see it. I remember the British smirking they could see the F-117.

Clearly you got no aerodynamic thought out of your brain

It’s because the future is going to be the United States and the emerging world nations. The countries of Europe might as well being calling themselves states as in part of “The United States.” Since the US has a say on who you can sell to because Europeans use American technology, the power and money goes to the one that has veto power.
