Come on now. The SCMP is not worth the bytes it prints on when it comes to defense "news". Neither we nor they know anything about the capabilities of any 6th gen fighter.
Chengdu next gen combat aircraft (?J-36) thread
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
please stop posting SCMP garbage, please!
These so-call journalists have no knowledge of military affairs, they just randomly search papers from military academies and exaggerate the content, even if the author is only a master's degree student
For a second I thought CAC had a 21-year foresight.Allegedly a procurement announcement put out by Chengdu back in 2003 that asks for a towbar-less airplane tug. The tug must be capable of towing an aircraft weighing no less than (≮) 60 tons. Delivery deadline is June of 2024.

Obviously bullshit

So, TOW of J-36 is over 60 tonnes? How's that possible?
It only indicates a mtow of between 50 and 60 tonnes. If it were any heavier then the requirements will be no less than 70 tonnes.So, TOW of J-36 is over 60 tonnes? How's that possible?

In engineering there is such thing as designing over the specification to allow room for error.
