I consider myself quite reasonable , actually. All you have to do is provide evidence for your assertions. All you can provide is "they have a similar shape".
Then Boeing and Sukhoi deny it, but the F15 and the Su27 must be some how related with "secret design transfers". Or the Tornado and the JH7. They "have the same shape ", right?
The J20 and the Mig1.44 prototype share the same canard delta configuration. Beyond that, their aerodynamic profiles are so different only a fanboy would suggest that one is a copy or an edit of the other.
Was thete ever an insinuation that McDonnel Douglas sold F-15's design to Sukhoi? The absurdity of it would make you puke.
But for Russia which is in despetate need of money, leverage with China coupled with the desire to tie down US military assets in Asia, the idea of giving up the design of Mig 1.44 that it will not use, to China makes a lot of sense.
Besides, the above article was posted in Reuters, a reputable private media company, it does sounds legitimate.
