Fine I admit that I was wrong about the stealth ships
Based on scientific papers along Russia is only at the tip of the iceburg, countries in Africa have papers on metamaterials and etc... too but one would not say that they have broken in
Russia does more than just right papers they actually produce technologies.
Again this is BY WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION, meaning that if I wear to build a plane out of wood and then put a lump of depleted Uranium in it the plane would have Uranium as 99% and wood as 1% even though clearly the plane is not made out of wood.
Saying that 60% of the weight comes from commonly used metals provides no relevant information, just like saying that 99% of the weight from my wooden plane comes from depleted Uranium gives no information about the other part of it.
You are in utter denial, what else is the frame going to be made of , clay? Perhaps newspapers? Wood? All of the above materials are extremely light weight and they still make up the majority of the aircrafts weight.
And this is the most easily copied part, countries like North Korea could easily build the outer shell of the F-22 and attach an engine, but that is all it is a shell what separates the shell from other shells is whats inside the shell and the materials that make up the shell.
If it was that easy everyone would be building airframes and buying engines for them, and i highly doubt North Korea would have the fly-by-wire technology able to keep the aircraft airborn.
And i seriously hope you're not saying Russian avionics are poor, Russia was the first to create many inovations in avionics such as hmc, tvs, coordinated data-link, hud/radar in one, first PESA and much more. Infact Lockheed martin (the builder of the F-22) purchased Russian rocket engines for the Atlas program because it was the most advanced engine at the time.
My argument was based around the fact that the F-22 uses an entire tree of technology thats different from the F-16.
And you're saying the pak-fa uses SU-27 technology? Ahhh no.
a tree of technology that China has shown itself to be adept at or rivaling the USA in most of them.
Yea right, that's why China hired Phazatron to help them develope radars, what about China engine struggles? And if i'm not mistaken the Chinese SD-10 uses a Russian seaker. Any fighter sized AESA? What about China either receiving or asking Russia to help or transfer technology, this includes, cruis missles, SAMs, engines and much more.
A tree of technology that Russia has not demonstrated proficiency in, but from publically available data like scientific papers is behind countries like Italy.
Once China can built a decent engine for serial production, make it's own seakers, stop hiring Russians to help build their radars, submarines, and aircraft than you can talk.
I think that coming up with the conclusion that the PAK-FA probably would not be able to compete with the F-22 and that China probably has a better shot of making something more similar to the F-22 than Russia is a perfectly logical conclusion based on the evidence and arguments that I presented.
Has China even made anything similar to the F-15, let alone the F-22? No it has not, so how is China going to build a stealth aircraft compairable to the F-22?
