Are you a hypocrite, Amalakas?
Has the F-22 been "tested independently and evaluated"?
How about the T-50/Pak-Fa? Has that been "tested independently and evaluated"?
How about the F-15, F-16, F-18, etc.? Have any of these military planes fulfilled your criteria of being "tested independently and evaluated"? If so, by whom?
If not, I hear you making a whole bunch of claims about all of these planes. Are you not a hypocrite who cannot meet your own self-proclaimed standards?
Have you been talking trash all this time according to your own demand for an independent test and evaluation?
I can happily reply to this.. you couldn't have served me better.
"Has the F-22 been "tested independently and evaluated"?"
Unfortunately for you, yes. LM has been more than forthcoming with the plane. NATO members have access to the plane's performance during exercises. Many NATO members have flown against it during RED FLAG. We know how the plane looks as an adversary.
Independent ACMI has shown how the Raptor engaged and sim destroyed targets while it also indicated how friendlies could not track and lock on the Raptor. Even here we have discussed those things, but you were not paying attention.
"How about the T-50/Pak-Fa? Has that been "tested independently and evaluated"?"
No it hasn't. But you don't see anyone claiming it has this range, this many missiles, it will be used like this, it can outfly this and that, its radar can pick the F-22 before the F-22 can pick it up etc etc etc etc.
"How about the F-15, F-16, F-18, etc.? Have any of these military planes fulfilled your criteria of being "tested independently and evaluated"? If so, by whom?"
Yes they have, as have the MiG-23,25,29 and Su-27.
By whom? Dutch, Italian, Spanish,Greek, Turkish, Egyptian, UAE, Israeli, Bulgarian, German airforces and the common exercises these people have conducted over a period spanning 4 decades.
Support and maintenance personnel, Wing commanders and pilots have all sat down and exchanged experiences and know hows more times than you can imagine.
I have sat down with people from Germany and France and discussed the merits of flying and operating a MiG-29. I have discussed with Russian crews the maintenance cycles of an Su-27. I have tracked a Turkish F-16 with the Radar of an SA-8, and I know how well the AA system and the countermeasures system of the F-16 worked.
NATO is currently in a position to know that the aforementioned planes do exactly what they say they do on the tin.
It is more than anyone can say about the J-20, and I am not blaming the J-20 for this. I am resting the blame solely on people with your attitude. Someone who has calculated the canard of the J-20 to be roughly the size of a large skateboard.
Someone who is meriting a plane simply because it is painted black.
Someone who refuses to see the same "shortcomings" on the J-20 as all the other planes he is putting down.
