PAK-FA takes to the sky!

[MAB]

Cant wait to see another 5th gen fighter. I wonder what it will look like, I hope it has forward swept wings like the su-47 because i really like that look and plus it also gives it really good maneuverability. I hope that they actually show the fighter tomorrow.

Ok emotions aside don't mind you guys but Chinese has yet to come up with best avionics and perfect her JH-7, J-10 and what not before even jump to any 5th Generation..while many say that T-50 and JXX are both some what sort of replica or copies of F-22 the point is if China wanted or could do could copy the whole design of Rafale or EF-2000 as a base of successful Fighter and come up with her version of joke!CF-2000...so for the next 8 Years i am not going to buy any story of stealthy JXX and J-10C and what not they could have worked upon J-10B as a stealthy design Nay! reality is different come back from the dreams.
