Maybe eveything you said is true, but the only thing we can be certain of at this stage, is that Mirage2000 is 10 times the fighter LCA is, in every freaking way you name it. Like the LCA , many of the so-called 'indigenous' DRDO projects often end up less than the fancy west-imported parts...

In my humble opinion similarities between Mirage2000 and LCA are far greater than the purported similariies between J20 and Mig 1.44. Compared with Mirae2000 which BTW is IAF's favourite bird, LCA looks little bit unbalanced, little bit unrefined, but the similarities are striking. All this...

China never offered J10 to Burma which BTW is hardly a good example for a nation that chooses its military hardware using a rigorous bidding process. China did buy Su27/30 in the 90's, she had no choice, but time has changed, today's China can produce nearly anything russia has to offer. That's...

I don't have hard evidence to back up that J20 is superior to PAK-FA, but you don't have evidence to prove your claim either. However just by look J20 looks like a stealthy fighter while PAK-FA looks like a flattened flanker. You can't deny that! Does PAK-FA have RAM coat? Does PAK-FA have...

PAK-FA will cost 10 billion dollars, that's a small fish compared to the 70 billion dollars spent on F22, you think for that you'll get a fighter that rivals F22? When was the last time russia built a fighter that lived up to the expectation? Mig23, Mig25, Mig29 or Su27? I have not seen a...

China's economy = (Russia + India) x 2, and in 10 years it will be 3 x. Russia these days is in danger of falling behind China in every category of industry imaginable. With relentless investment, and more man power (China graduates half million engineers a year while in Russia engineers are...

If PAK-FA is a prototype, it can only mean Russia is not capable of developing a stealth fighter and all the talk about PAK-FA being 5th gen is time wasted.

One thing most people (not from India and Russia) do agree on J20 is that it looks far more stealthy than PAK-FA which in its current form is nothing more than a redesigned Su27. Currently, except for the nose, there is nothing stealthy with that bird.

J20 is by all accounts between 20 and 21 meters long. Compare this with other aircrafts: PAK-FA 19.8m Su27 21.9m F-22 18.9m F-111 22.4m PAK-FA figure is from wiki, there are other soruces that quote 22m for example. Regarding the weight, unless you are a guy working on J20, you won't how much...

J20 has high wing and different shaped wings and canards than those on the 1.44. Bottom stabilizers will probably be removed on production models. J10 has it, F16 too has it. Regarding size, J20 is kind bulky but it is not longer than PAK-FA and weighs probably just as much.

J20 and Mig 1.44 have similar general aerodynamic configuration, that's about all we can say. The fuselage is completely different, airintake shape and location completely different, the wings and the canards are different too, so is the wing location. In truth J20 has just as much if not more...

That guy is idiot, his nickname is Chang al-Sahaf named after Saddam's information minister. During the gulf war II he made lots of fearless predictions on national TV that Saddam's army would fight the Americans to the last man. But then again i tend to think that underneath J20 probably has...

All those J20 against who type analysis needs to be thrown out because this is not what China thinks when designing this aircraft. J20 is just one of many new systems coming out from China these days that are meant to bridge the technological gap between China and the more advanced nations like...

Judging by the newest pictures J20 is max 20-21m long, this means it is at most 1 meter longer than PAK-FA, and likely shorter than Su27/30/J11. It is hardly surprising as it uses same lines of engines(AL31/WS10) destined for the latter.

This bird looks about the same size as Su27/30/35. I think it would be a good one, the best fighter ever made in China, for me personally it looks better than PAK-FA, especially in this mean-looking paint. I knew all along that this thing was real because all chinese projects in the past decade...

It's a difference in nomenclature. In chinese definition there have been only 4 generations of fighter with F-22 being the sole representant in the 4th gen class, all else Mirage2000, F-16, J10 are 3rd gen fighters, some say Euro fighter, Rafael or Su35 may be referred as 3.5

That's the point. India currently possess weapons of similar quality as the ones fielded by China. India used to hold a substantial edge in terms of quality over China in the conventional weapons's department, but all that has now evaporated. China on the other hand still holds advantage in...

'putting cart before the donkey' is an old english phase, thought you guys are better than us in english, i'm really dissappointed

now back to the topic. No one knows what the specs will be. I don't think it will be a true 5th generation fighter. If it turns out to be a real match for Rafael or Euro fighter, it will be a true achievment. One thing for sure is that it will be larger than J10, and has two engines. And AESA...

You have 124 Su30 MKI at the moment, China has twice as many Su27/30/J11. China's wallet is 5 times larger and is self reliant. Yes you will improve, but we will improve faster. Take a look at the balance in 1990, and what has happened since then. In 1990, China had no 4th gen fighter, as...
