You can google all you want but as far as we are concerned you don't work for Sukhoi so everything you've presented is pure speculation.
We'll see how a quasi bankrupt firm like Sukhoi can even rival with a state-owned CAC in terms of R&D.
Can we stop arguing with no-lives wannabe experts in our own forum? They don't have any of CAC's data and evaluation all they can do to make them feel better is to speculate and convince themselves of their so-called intelligence. :lol:
1. So ptldM3 thinks that J-20 flew for the first time this January in front of the whole crowd? What if the test conducted in front of everyone wasn't fully successful?
2. The reason it was painted is because it flew all naked already well before its public fight this January.
Based on 2...
That is exactly my point the whole time. It wasn't about people at Sukhoi being incompetent.
Lack of funding = poor product
It applies to everything in R&D.
When was F-117 developed again? Was the initial goal to make it a 4 or 5-th generation jet? I highly doubt they had the technologies that we have today which is why they opted for the use of the intake blocker.
By the way, Boeing CLAIMED that the modified F-15SE WITH absorbent coating can...
Historically, the PLAN has never screamed out that its new toy and waited for years before declassifying them. You don't know anything about the J-20 that can justify your empty claim that the J-20 is a flying laboratory.
In fact, CAC probably has more resources than Sukhoi and we'll have to...
None of us here has classified information IMHO but the T-50 finish is pathetic in the pics that have been released compared with the F-22 and J-20. Of course to our Indians comrades the intake blocker technology is just like a state-of-the-art tech given the best plane they could come up with...
Unofficial troll of these boards: ptldM3
When you are dead poor or quasi bankrupt for more than ten years, everything in your overall ability to research and produce will suffer greatly in every single field, civilian or military. If that's too hard to understand, then you shouldn't be...
The magnificent Arjun and LCA are perfect examples of India's prowess of its domestic manufacturing industries. They have to bow to their Western or Russian masters for any major repair or ugprades. :lol:
What a typical wannabe armchair general who thinks he knows classified information.
At least he was a top pilot in the PLAAF. What have you done with your life gambit? Are you even fit mentally and physically enough to ever being considered for such a position? :lol:
Word. You seem to know aweful lot about this first hand. :woot:
Seriously, the Chinese pilot accomplished more than you could ever dream of. It is ignorant wannabes like you that openly mock someone's death that degrades the quality of this forum. Even our Indians brothers have more class...
