Despite all the talk from Aviation Week and numerous Chinese sources, we should still treat rumors as rumors until more concrete evidence comes in. Not saying that there is zero possibility of the FC-31 being the basis of the PLAN's next-generation fighter, but there is no guarantee either...

That's possible with averages but not medians which is what is listed here.

One seems to forget that one of the largest gaps between the US and PLA Navies is in naval weaponry. The USN has long-range LACMs, SAMs, ABMs, MRSAMs, and stealthy AShMs in service or the pipeline, compatible with any vessel with a Mk. 41/57 VLS, while the PLAN has few equivalents. The vessels...

:) Seems like somebody kept one of his biggest promises. But of course, doubters will be doubters and naysayers will naysay.

The Chinese have had at least one working prototype of a strike-capable "stealthy" UAV since 2013, meaning that it is unlikely they would've managed to copy and build a functioning RQ170 clone, and make it look completely different to boot, within two years' time. It's also worth mentioning...

Are you sure? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to use F-15s to simulate J-11Bs?

It's a drone concept.

The issue of exhaust heat is taken care of by the S-ducted inlets/exhaust in addition to exhaust nozzle geometry, as on the B-2. The vertical stabilizers are there to compensate for what the FBW system cannot.

Better to wait for more information.

Because China's development of FBW systems isn't as advanced as some people like to believe.

Alan Warnes is one of the more credible bloggers out there; it's better to wait & see what actually happened.

The biggest reason, aside from the fact that this is merely an airshow, is that the J-20 lacks the proper engines and thrust vectoring that allows it to compete kinematically with the F-22. Sure, the pilots might've been conservative, but the jets wouldn't have matched the F-22's...

So, if we're to go by your claims, the J-11D has been cancelled while the J-10D is still active? What makes you think that when we have barely any information on those two projects?

Thanks for bringing light onto this. I don't think the problem just stops at cancer drugs, though.

The Chinese had AESA since 2003 onboard their KJ-2000.

:lol: For those who aren't familiar, the UNHRC elects beacons of democracy & human rights such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Bahrain as council members. I mean, this group has to be legitimate and credible, right?

There are no videos of the DF-41 being launched, period.

What is "nope" supposed to mean here?

There are no DF-41 test videos.
