Why the F-35 is a turkey by defense analyst and aircraft designer Pierre Sprey:
Because there is no need for it. How do you even know if we did not already flew it over China undetected? Sorry, but 'Chinese physics' do not cut it.
this coming from NATO (No Action, Talk Only) dirty Indians.
As Rachel Maddow exposed the major flaws in the F-22, they switched to the F-35. But now the F-35 is a bigger disaster than the failed F-22.
The US decline is there for everyone to see.
It resulted China No.2 from nothing 30 years ago.
It works!
What a surprise that dirt master Chinese tell somebody dirty. Actually Chinese should lodge a claim in genius book of world record for developing the planes which can not match even 50 years old Planes.Just There was an exposure in Chinese media that their much hyped J 15 can carry only 2 ton load which is less than 50 year old Single engine Mig 21.
A lot less than the Pakistani military.
It is precisely because of the lack of credible data from both sides that there is no definitive reason as to why the J-20 and the J-31 is any comparable to the F-117 in terms of radar observability. The US still have not released the average RCS value of the F-117, and the J-20 and the J-31 is still too new even for the Chinese in their experimentation of the field.@gambit
On the topic, regardless of the current state of Chinese RCS measures(of which we have no definite quantitative or qualitative data to base any conclusions of, and the approach of pseudo analysts like Kopp dont count.) Does there seem to be a definite reason as to why the planform for the J-31 or the J-20(which I disagree on being based solely on the 1.44 as it has more in common in looks and design with the JAST concept, but it could be inspired/adapted from both) dont seem as stealthy to you as a 117 strictly from a shaping point of view.
You got that right...Goddamn so much stupid.
No. Not even a little bit. The impression that the RQ is 'stealthy' came mainly from ignorant media blurbs. The general principle is that the smaller the dimensions, the decrease in radar observability. There is nothing magical or 'stealthy' about it.I have ask you, Gambit, would the RQ-170 aid them a little for creating LO airframes?
You can interpret what 'the media' said any way you wish. I have my interpretation of it and it is much kinder than yours. I have said it many times before that there is nothing wrong with copying an established work if the desire is to rapidly advance one's own.
I look at it this way...
If the Chinese engineers copied the Flankedsteak's airframe, most likely they copied as much as possible the architectural layout of the entire avionics system as well, that includes any mechanical linkages, if any, in the flight controls system, the radar package, the navigation, and electronic countermeasures. It make perfect sense to do so. Any gap can be developed indigenously.
I have said it many times before, the J-20 is based upon, not a copy, of the MIG 1.44 and it incorporated post F-117 RCS control methods and tactics.
Mad? No. Amused is more like it. More so at the intellectual dishonesty of many people that after I presented indisputable technical arguments as to why they are wrong, they persists in perpetuating what has been debunked.
Direct this to your fellow Chinese who have no problems making pronouncements about things they know nothing of.
We have a serious discussion over F-22 radar observability and J-20 if you can head over to Sino Defense Forum.THAT right there tells me you do not know what you are talking about when it comes to the true meaning of the phrase 'radar observability'. You fit the criticism you leveled at others. No need to continue with the rest of your post.
CCP has the habbit to optimise the figure, no doubt.Do you believe all those figures?
