Possibly. But you end up losing two control surfaces when you prop them up.

2 control surfaces can be used as a split rudder

I’m just saying it’s a shame to waste a moving surface.

Yankee and ShiLao “dissing” PLAAF for setting unrealistically high performance standards for fighter aircraft and weapons.

TL-DW: PLAAF leaders overestimate the hell out of Western weapon systems.

One funny anecdote they talked about basically involved a PLAAF commander dissing J-16D engineers for not being able to come anywhere close to EA-18’s jamming performance. Only problem? The bloke in charge of translating US intelligence misplaced a decimal point so that the processing capability of the EA-18’s suite got over estimated by a factor of one thousand!!!

P.S. I have complete confidence in PLAAF over performing in any potential showdown large or small in the near future. Compare the attitude of PLAAF heads, who even after May 7th studied what IAF has done right and those of arrogant militaries that diss Eastern equipment for political points, and you’ll know which one will contribute to victory.
