J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread V

[Air Force Brat]

I shouldn't use the word "leak". For that, I apologize.

Given that the US spies its own citizens and hacks into its allies' network to spy on them (Snowden?), it's not a stretch to assume that the US hacks into China's network either. Thus, labeling it a battle is appropriate.

It's hard to believe that the US would sit and do nothing when someone is attacking them and damaging its national interests. No one would do that, let alone someone with the kinds of capabilities of the US.

No apology needed, and I knew what you meant, a leak implies intent to spread information, and I don't think anyone was intending to do that.

R they sloppy, is security loose, well look at Mrs. Clinton, you'd have to call that either arrogance, or ignorance???

More arrogance, which leads to ignorance, I guess...

I agree, and that attitude pervades every layer of the BHO team, Mrs. Clinton had no business ever filling the role of Secretary of State, she lacks the people skills to hold the confidence of the American people, and I dare say Mr. Kerry is a close second. They have lived an indifferent kind of privilege, but they have managed to "bammfoosle" the folks who they promise the moon, and deliver nothing that they themselves value, except platitudes.

How effective will the J-20 be without its intended engines ?

I am of the opinion that the J-20, even with AL-31 engines, will be sufficiently maneuverable for close-in combat against most 4th generation fighters. Thrust to weight is an important metric for gauging an aircraft's handling capabilities, but it is hardly the end-all metric. It is probably kinematically comparable to the F-35A in the current iteration.

Here is a micro-image for testing your eye-sight .

I agree she's fine Siege, and she's not gonna be wanting to get down and dirty anyway, that's the idea of Stealth, like an aerial ninja, ya get in, take care of the bad guys and "flash bang with smoke" you're gone!

that fuzzy picture is making me "cross eyed though".

Exactly my thoughts. They have indeed no interest to export that bird, but it would be a major PC-coup to show the world its latest fighter (even if it is not for sale).

The US did the same with the Raptor ... and the Russians with the T50 (even if they are eager to sell).

Anyway ... let's hope even if I have higher hopes to see FC-31.V2 at Zhuhai.

By the way,FC31 is confirmed abandoned by both PLAAF and PLAN

Rumor: First J-20 delivered to the Chinese Air Force yesterday

I moved all FC-31/J-31 related post to the FC-31-thread !

So any new developments?? I would assume that Siege's image was of the 2101 and the "no serial bird" at Chengdu?? and which bird would the PAF have received??? hopefully we may have some more images shortly??

Good questions all.

And we are all in the same boat...waiting for more! LOL!
