I think many intellectuals just hate authorities to a certain extent. American ones hate US institutions and Chinese ones hate Chinese institutions because they are exposed to the negatives of their respective systems.

After realized harder to find a well-paid & relaxed job than years ago, many college students are somehow dissatisfied with leadership. :rolleyes:

It’s just an “analyst” who recycled the video.

I do not want to rate his credibility, but at least it shows (at least IMO ) it is a video and not only a "moved still" or even a CGI or PS-job= Or am I wrong?

By the way ... What do you think: Real or faked? BEWARE OF THE MUSIC! o_O:eek:

In fact I don't know; therefore my question ... even more so since AI and PS are still more of a mystery to me!

As such at first sight I thought it looks legit since it shows some movement, also in the background but hey, what all can be done by AI nowadays! Therefore again ... it looks very fishy, in fact just surreal strange to me but I really don't know.

“Those sixth-generation aircraft, we believe, are for air superiority,” said General Kenneth Wilsbach, head of Air Combat Command, which manages the USAF’s fighter, reconnaissance and electronic warfare fleets.
So we have PLAAF confirmation that this is their interpretation of sixth gen.

So we have confirmation from both USAF and PLAAF top commanders that J-36 is considered as a next-generation (explicitly "6th generation") platform (explicitly "air superiority" too!). That goes a long way to offset the "It's not a 6th gen" angle, but no doubt they will continue to be obtuse even if USAF general disagree with them.

Here a bit more and if I'm not mistaken - right on the beginning and from 1:40 on - it is indeed a brief video clip:

It does not make sense to open the drag rudders that wide when taking off. Take the B2 as an example.

As shown in the pic below, there is no need to open the drag rudders very wide to control the yaw when taking off. 1742393656951.png


For yaw control, the rudders only need to be opened at a small angle asymmetrically.

When both wingtip rudders open simultaneously with large angles, they act as speed brakes for landing.
