China's J-20 stealth fighter: 'design is 25 years old' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...0-stealth-fighter-design-is-25-years-old.html
The F-35 is just a bomb-truck compared to the F-22. A draft mule compared to a thoroughbred. Where does the left get this notion that the F-35 is more capable than the F-22? Its complete nonsense. The fact is that the Obama regime has left America with no air-superiority fighter based upon their *vast* experience with combat aircraft. I fly high-fidelity simulations of both airframes regularly and have perhaps 2000 hours between the two. There is absolutely no comparison possible. Their performance is not even on the same order. The Raptor turned out to be more than the sum of its components, something special. It cost big money to develop and right at the moment when it could have been produced at cheaper production rates (all the development was already paid for) the idiots in the white house cancelled the program. Your sons and daughters who become fighter pilots will eventually pay for this decision.
Your next generation US fighters, which are already being flight-tested in black USAF programs, will be unmanned and will be incredibly lethal in terms of maneuverability, speed, and loiter. The only other country even remotely close (Ha!) to the US in UAV development is Israel. And Iran's nuclear program and air defense systems will be targeted once the current destabilization programs like Stuxnet and targeted scientist assasinations are completed.
China will never screw up their largest export market trading partner. They will steal IP from the US, and they will fill US landfills with crappy goods and buy our scrap metal to make more crappy goods, but China would never undermine the source of their power - trade. China understands that economics trump militaristic exploits - ask Russia.
