Usa Pilot critical of Chinease J31 & J15 fighters

[j20blackdragon]

You and the Chinese members here is making the same mistake the US did in relying on machines and automation, or more precisely MISPLACED trust in machines and automation, the kind that gave US the gunless F-4s. You falsely believed that just because a fighter is capable of shooting from beyond visual range, it will ALWAYS have that option, and that the pilot in such a fighter will ALWAYS have that position of advantage.

I hope the PLA will hire more people like you guys.

And I hope the US continues to rely on human pilots while China moves on to this.

Even the top human pilots can only withstand 9g before blacking out. UCAVs won't have this limitation because they don't have a blood supply that could rush away from the brain. UCAVs also don't experience fear and don't have any families to go home to.

The naysayers said the same thing about the small plastic J-31 model.

You have no sense of humor. You know that, don't you?

plastic model would be enough at this stage to scare the shit out of haters who have run away taking cover with tails between legs!

Bloggers claim this is going to make J20 obsolete!

Well, if it's on someone's blog on the internet, then it must be true.

Let these guys go with their delusions. It is funny that they criticized Americans here as video game warriors but they themselves are the best at it and deluded themselves that the pilot is nothing more than a button pusher from them playing video games. You have guys who can barely tell the differences between a hammer and a screwdriver but have no problems making pronouncements about military aviation.
