J-XX will equip with WS engine, no Russian engine.
And no proof that Russian has given its stealth technology to us, and their PAKFA isn't stealthy at all. I doubt that they have even mastered how to make the stealth fighter.
You have no business whatsoever making such claims, unless of course you work for Sukhoi or you're an aerospace engineer that specializes in low observability. Me as well as others including those that work for Sukhoi have discussed the pak-fa, the design, and the science behind it, including creeping waves, edge diffraction, specular reflection, corner reflectors and so on. You are oblivious to these meaning and how they apply to the PAK-FA so please do not comment on matters for which you have no knowledge of, but for a somewhat breif explanation of how radar waves effect surfaces, esspecially those on the PAK-FA see the above post.
But I could be wrong maybe Sukhoi, a company with over 7 decades of experience and thousands of experienced engineers, designers, mathematicians, and other specialists many of which have PhD’s are stupid, perhaps you, ChineseTiger1986 know more than they do, please share your knowledge and I will pass it on to the stupid designers at Sukhoi because apparently all their effort resulted in an aircraft that is "isn't stealthy at all"
By your logic the F-15 Silent Eagle is also not stealthy at all infact with its conventional cylindrical fuselage and conventional wing geometry and intakes it should be even less 'stealth' than the pak-fa. This means that you also know more than the engineers at Boeing and that Boeing was lying when they said that the F-15 Silent Eagle can match the F-35's frontal RCS, despite, and I repeat, despite having exposed intakes and cylindrical fuselage/nose.
The Silent Eagle is not much more than an F-15 with canted vertical tails, weapons bays, treated canopy and RAM coating, but it manages to be 'stealth' by Boeings standards. What your definition of 'stealthy' is conflicting with Sukhoi's and Boing's. And now lets take a look at the so unstealthy F-15 silent eagle.
Of course, they started at an earlier point. However, the collapse of USSR brought them 10-20 years of backward, even their military industry. They even have problems to deploy a SLBM, whereas China has already 6 type 094 in service and working on their next gen SSBN..
The Baluva has been sucessful in its last few tests. To put things in perspective even the American THAAD had around a 50% failure rate when it was being tested, even though it was not a SSBN. You also act as if what China builds is the same as what Russia builds, have you ever considered that the Baluva is more complex than Chinese SSBN's, thus it will have more problems or that maybe just maybe China hids all of its failures?
China is making a huge step further, and Russia keeps feeding on what USSR left for them..
This is an utter nonsense, Russia has develepoed all new weapons systems and continues to do so, everything from new engines such as the 117S to the S-400 air defence system and the Borey submarine, to the Topol-M, and KA-52, and the list goes on. I fail to see what any of these systems or all the other project that Russia is working on has to do with the USSR, other than knowlege which is invaluable.
