That's right, a fool in the enemy's camp, is better than a hundred allies, in the field.
What a big help are those guys in CIA and Pentagon.
They help 'shoot down' +600 Fiercesome Raptors, without us ever firing a shoot, by feeding their government B.S. "intelligences", they got from the...
Both reported Robert Gates that Pentagon do not expect China to have a 5th Generational Fighter by 2020, and will have only a handful of them by 2025 whereas US will have 1,700 of them.
Clearly, back in 2009, Gates and the CIA think 187 fiercesome F-22 Raptors + 1500 F-35 flying pigs will be...

"Mine too ... but as long as it is not confirmed, there's no need to admit anything."
I agreed. I would like to say, I am pretty sure that I am right, but until it is officially confirmed. I won't say I am 100% correct or bet my life on it.
I said ". . . right from the beginning. IMO."
And who was so sure and definite that he bet: If J-20 has WS-15, or TVC already,
"I would bet my membership here ... I will resign as a mod and even as a poster here !"
That explains the reason for all the vehement hysterical and irrational...
The short answer is: J-20, version 2001, is already equipped with WS-15 right from the beginning, back in year 2011. And WS-15 is also equipped with 3D-TVC right from the beginning. IMO. So now, after 5 years of testing with WS-15 and 3D-TVC, the design of J-20 is frozen and going into LRIP...
All large US Carriers have Steam Powered Catapult, and the Ford class carrier have ElectroMagnetic Catapult to assist aircrafts to take off.
Some people don't seems understand what does the Catapult do, and what my post is talking about. Please don't call yourself a fanboy, if you don't even...
This news is not directly related to J-20, but if J-20 has any hope of take off from a Chinese Aircraft Carrier in the future, there must a Catapult system onboard.
This news article say China solved the Electro-Magnetic Catapult problem. It will probably installed on the third domestic Chinese...
"No, ... I would bet my membership here at this forum on this issue. It can't be a WS-15 ... this engines was not even tested on a Il-76 and You think - IMO pure wishful thinking - that it even powers a J-20 right now. Honestly, but that is IMO simply naïve."
Somebody made a foolish bet, a...
Thanks for your support, Beast. It's very heart warming.:smitten:

:-)No intend to insult, just in a light hearted way to remind my PDF friends, that Russian's 3D-TVC is different from other countries' 3D TVC Nozzle, including China's.
No insult is intended. I am sorry.:-) You are not the only one who disagreed with me, in fact, I don't notice anyone else...
This is Russian Su-37's TVC Nozzle. Someone has insisted that unless the Chinese TVC must look like that, it's no TVC. Notice, the last two sections could tilt. As a result, it's tilting section is much longer and has a much greater tilting angle than the next several TVC, which tilts only the...
Somebody insists that J-20's TVC nozzle tilt like or look like that of the Flanker's, when not activated. Let me remind everybody that TVC nozzles could look very different, depending on the maturity of the technology and its intended usages.
This is the British Harrier's TVC Nozzle. It got...
The movement of the Russian TVC is much more obvious, because both of the last two sections of the nozzles could tilt, while the Chinese nozzle, only the last section could tilt. According to a report, the Chinese mechanism is simpler and lighter than the Russian one, and lasts a lot longer.
I am leaning toward that the model is WS-10.
Not tilted nozzles.
Obviously tilted TVC nozzles.
I know some people will say this is just an optical illusion, the nozzles are not really tilted. I would rather trust my own eyes than theirs.
The TVC nozzles are not a very complicated mechanism...
