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.
Hi,

Maybe you can run the audio through the phone’s translate app or grab the transcript and do Google translate on it? Probably will not get the whole picture since there are a lot of special technical jargon.
i believe odds are they will not buy chinese. doing so would set them up against the us/israel bloc... im not feeling the vibes.
They also revealed the price of the J-35A before. PLAAF leaders hope that the J-35A will match the F-35's purchase price of 84 million US dollars, and have sufficient air combat capabilities. But they ignore the fact that this price is only the factory price of a single plane, it is a lie to deceive US Congress and cover up the project overruns.. The actual cost of the full deployment of the F-35 is about 200 million.
Could’ve been a whole lot worse. At least the F-35 brings game changing capabilities to the Air Force. They could’ve been duped into spending the same amount on a 4.5 gen with no source code access…
When will we see next-generation helmets in J-20s?
TL-DW: PLAAF’s Queen Sacrifice strategy and how to achieve objective of shooting down J-16D while baiting blue force with your top asset.
