Deino, I think you've posted multiple times about how Janes (both their articles and infographic drawings) are poor quality and inaccurate, which I agree with.

This infographic/drawing is also poor quality. At this point I think Janes' articles and drawings are not valuable as baseline.
Imo this (below) was the last nail in their credibility coffin

This has to be the worst graphic I've ever seen by a "serious" publication

A mio parere questo (sotto) è stato l'ultimo chiodo nella bara della loro credibilità

Questa deve essere la peggiore grafica che abbia mai visto da una pubblicazione "seria"

Let me explain. An infographic should not only be visually appealing, but also help to emphasize the topic it represents. I used to make infographics like this 10-15 years ago. (Take a photo, recreate the layout using graphics software, and add text). They are not made like that anymore. Now you also have to be an engineer, an analyst, and know how to use new tools (such as AI) well. A Multimodal Graphic Architect. Sorry for the OT. I won't write any more :)

I have a Ginkgo biloba tree in my garden by my house. A few days ago it shed its leaves and covered half the garden. And now there are thousands of J 36 models lying on the ground. Yeah, nothing modern, right? Nature invented it 250 million years ago, as the carbon footprints show us.

You guys are missing the obvious — TWZ finally conceded that these are sixth gen.
Both USAF and PLAAF leadership have agreed it's a 6th gen fighter.

Only "experts" like TWZ play the game of "we have no definition of 6th gen, I can't read Chinese" like only the US/West has authority to define or anoint a fighter as 6th gen. You can see this dynamic play out on the wikipedia page for J-36, it's jarring the hypocrisy.

Wikipedia is astroturfed garbage anyways. The information warriors can't veto what US generals say so instead they pretend it was never said.
