Why do people dog pile the F-35 so much? Compared with other single-engines jets the crash rate is very low considering how many airframes have been performed. Don’t get me started on other STVOL jets either. Remember how notoriously unsafe the Harrier was?
But we’ve seen photos of a J-20 prototype (2016) flying with a new engine last year. There are also numerous eyewitness accounts noting the sound is very different.

I think people who understand Mandarin Chinese should listen to the whole presentation. A lot of valuable information about turbofan engine/large body aircraft. The fact that Liu Daxiang is so optimistic about engine progress...
Rumor has it that China used night vision gear during the confrontation. If confrontation has indeed occurred at night then the recent videos in a neighboring thread are probably not of current event.
Do they actually believe this drivel or do they just say it to make them feel better, like they guy who claimed that he had a foot long member when catfished by some bored white guy on Facebook?
Might as well as wait for laser pod. Could be used to defend against incoming missiles and, in the unlikely event of merge, be used against enemy fighters.
