I would think so............

J-20 has lower thrust to weight than a Flanker, it can't super cruise on its current engines.

Serial production J-20 runs on AL-31F. WS-10A suffers from unresponsive throttle performance and low durability hours. It is so unreliable they were rejected from performing the Tibetan Plateau patrol mission.

There was no air battle in 62'. The last air battle China fought was in 58' and Taiwan wrecked the PLAAF, it was embarassing really.

How can you train for something you can't do? I doubt that as it is so unreliable that PLAAF chose the AL-31F for the Tibet patrol because Chinese engines had too high a rate of failure.

It is not clear when they detected it. The fact is they did detect it and failed to engage it which is why the head of IRIAF was so afraid to tell the Ayatollah of his failure. He had the power to do something about it and he failed to act. The IADs of Iran is heaviest around its capital so...

It was detected, they just failed to intercept it in time.

The canards are so large it almost has enough surface area to be wings for a jet trainer.

Hong Kong has the best life by far of Chinese, but they don't want to be a part of it.

It is choke-point for global shipping. What does that have to do with US dominance of IOR? If the US Navy wants to go somewhere it doesn't matter where it is, there is nothing you are anyone else can do to stop them.

The naval agreement with France gives India the bases to attack Chinese shipping anywhere in the world. The only safe route not touched by French territorial waters is the Russian Arctic Passage.

If China moves into the Pacific it will be dealt with by USA, if it moves inland India is the only thing standing in the way. Are you ready?

I have seen no such evidence. CCP is violating a treaty that ensures the people of HK enjoy freedom for at least 50 years. It doesn't take a genius to see why they are rioting by the hundreds of thousands.

I wonder why they are still flying with AL-31F at the air show. WS-10B must not be suitable for fear of crashing and causing international embarrassment. With 40 seconds needed for full throttle it is not a very good option.

Which is a far cry from me saying it was a fake Photoshop and didn't exist. I never expected them to actually put this overweight, unstealthy turd into production. In order to reflect the radar off the weapon bay edges they have to put an inch wide gap of sealant on it. You don't see F-22...

I challenged him years ago to prove I said it... still waiting.

I have been watching this since 2010 back when the pictures were too grainy to make out anything until the time China copied cameras that could take HD photos years later. There was never such a thick black outline around the weapons bays until now. Just go back in this thread and find...

You are the one saying they are sealants. I was thinking it must be a photoshopped outline because not even China would make gaps that need sealants that wide.

So the gaps are so large they needed to apply a sealant?

Either the weapon bays have been outlined in PS or they built it with one inch gaps.
