China’s J20 Stealth Fighter: Made in America...via Belgrade

[localoca]

F-117 is useless piece of junk, don't compare it to J-20.

I second that...

I am pretty sure an F117 can be out of storage, fuel up, fly off, have a couple of air-refuellings and fly in and out of china taking pictures of the main square in Beijing before anyone knew it was there....

Just like Serbia, oh wait....

You're a funny man.

That useless piece of junk gutted Iraq's C & C, C4I, supply depots, staging areas, headquarters, and a few palaces for good measure, and did so untouched in heavily-defended airspace.

It was also flying 30 years ago.

What about the one shot down in the Balkans?

NATO Topics: The Kosovo Air Campaign

Despite strains, the Alliance held together during 78 days of air strikes in which more than 38,000 sorties – 10,484 of them strike sorties – were flown without a single Allied fatality.

Thirty-eight thousands sorties with only one F-16 and one F-117 lost. Is that an air defense combat record to boast about?

Because Serbia is on par with China in its air defences right? The idea of a single F-117 flying into the heart of Chinese capital without arousing any alarms is laughable.

The idea of flying a Cessna into Red Square was even more laughable - but it happened. link China's air defense is modeled on, but far inferior to, that of the Soviet Union. So why would you think a practically invisible F-117 would have trouble reaching Beijing?

Did you not read in your own link that he was tracked all the way through? Possible. Sure. Likely? Not.

Sure I did. He was tracked - part of the time. With an F-117 the Soviets would have only got occaisional radar reflections now and then - never enough to track the aircraft.

China's current air defense is far superior to the soviet union as it has modern radars and fighters something the soviet union did not have access to. Russia has superior air defense currently but China will soon surpass it due to intense modernization in the PLAAF and degradation of the RAF due to limited budgeting.

your laughable, the Cessna was detected multiple times, however the soviet planes/sams never got permission to fire on him, he was thought to be a friendly aircraft. so what evidence do you have that a f-117 could fly undetected into the capital of china or Russia?
