What are the rumors going around?
Also, I read somewhere in Chinese media some navy expert talking that China doesn't have a need for stovl, and that it would be a huge financially draining exercise.
I kind of agree.
Only US has made good stovl fighters, and it has had to spend a HUGE amount of money on it. Plus, US has had a tremendous experience in aviation.
Comparatively China is a newcomer which is yet to produce a good jet engine, still has limited experience in designing planes.
Please don't mind and be mad on me for these observations.
I am awaiting your response as to what rumors are there this stovl fighter.
