Nah.

"Asians in general" are bad drivers. It's the Japanese that are short, because they eat nothing but raw fish and seaweed. Except that in any given group of Japanese folks, there will always be that one tall guy. (Unless they're a group of elderly Japanese folks, in which case they will all resemble Yoda.)

The Chinese, besides being bad drivers (because all Asians are bad drivers) are normal height and own either dry cleaning shops or buffets.

You're obviously not white, or you'd be racist enough to keep your stereotypes straight.

Okay, the Chinese one looks more like an F-15 on the underside, but the F22 looks like an F15, so... FML.

Silly Chinese, don't they know that if they get planes made in China that they'll have to go back to Walmart in about 3 years to buy a new one, after the old one falls apart?

How was Pearl Harbor bombed then?

Driving really has nothing to do with piloting.

Yeah, only the best air superiority fighter in the world, WTF?!?!?!

It's just a first attempt. Their technology will keep improving.

So really, all this is is a very unrealiable fighter that was made to look stealth but has no properties of a modern fighter. lol.

Yup.

The F22(issues are resolved) and F35 would make a light snack of it.


By request F22 with a Mustang and a fighting falcon.

And an F35



Wish I could find a pic of the raptor at that angle, it makes the F35 look dead sexy.

Or maybe they're counting on opposing forces thinking that it's the same...

Smoke and mirrors. They won't need stealth fighters once they've helped make all of 'merica fat.

[Kadarin]

I wonder if it has a "Designed by Lockheed in California" sticker on it.

[TakeNoPrisoners]

We should sue them for patent infringement. Looks just like the iPhone 5...um wait.

Things are changing in China. They're importing a lot more meat from America, and a lot of their land is toxic due to poor industrial regulation. Not a good combination. If one then adds to that a hypothetical (I have no idea what the reality is in this case) leadership that doesn't care about its people primarily (like most leadership unfortunately), and a greater portion of society becoming wealthier (as well as a greater portion of society dying from toxic-related ailments), that either spells revolution or democracy getting a better grip (or both), in time.

Different levels of stealth on each plane. This Chinese plane and the PAK-FA are semi-stealth only which reduces the likelihood of a lesser plane sticking an air-to-air missile up their pipes as well as give them more of a time advantage when trying to sneak up onto a ground target. All very handy things for their intended purpose and budget, but they aren't producing an F-22 level aircraft on those costs.

Different planes, different purposes.

Thought this was a cool pic.

Thanks for making my point buddy. Why are people on this thread comparing it to an F-22?

[SandEagle]

thank you China for not invading us yet and stealing our land and resources.

Pray tell what is so much better. Why do countries that actually need air superiority fighters want to buy it so badly?
