While Beijing is proudly leaking more images of J-20 fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, China continues to buy Russian military jet engines and spare parts, which might indicate China is in a technological deadlock.

In the coming conflict (not saying war, but inevitable tensions) between China and the US, Russia will be the winner. It will play the power broker - like the smallish political party in the coalition forming a government.

They have the leverage over China that the US needs. Both larger countries have to keep Russia happy if they want to fulfil their goals.

"Created by Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, this heavy fighter jet is the first military plane China has constructed on its own, without visible attempts at copying foreign technology. It resembles neither the American Raptor F-22, nor the Russian T-50 PAK-FA."

Ha. Ha. Ha.

The adventure is what you give it, and teorefhre receive. You cannot plan too far ahead, except loosely, because things happen that change and often radically.As a clue, check out the different festivals in different cultures around the World. That is where you often have the greatest of human experiences and exceptional regional education, to say nothing of the numerous invitations.With the right attitude and a bit of creativity, two blocks from home is an adventure.

I think that the chinese have displayed a great reflection of there military mind by mimicing there russian counterparts they have shown us that there abilitys to replecate arms to the generic standerd are a feat for the underdogs for aviation competition for supplying the challengers and deterant nations of western fronts and at a cheaper rate than russia. But i hope that iran will try them out if the time comes to see if they are affective for the western wings to chase about i think it will be very entertaining to watch a clash of russian based design vs western air superiority  may the best plane win (russia take note).

Monkey wanker accuracy.  It is not 'ultrasonic' cruise or 'hypersonic' cruise you dimwit it is 'supersonic' cruise.

The chinese are not able to create anything original they can only make clones which is why they would lose a war because they would always be playing catch up.

Well, I gave up when I read the following:
"It resembles neither the American Raptor F-22, nor the Russian..."
Clear ly, if you compare imagery, the J-20 is a near dead-on knock off of the F-22. Yeah, there are clearly some differences, but if you look from the front, the profile are nearly identical. If you think this bird was developed strictly with Chinese know-how, you are nuts.

I need to compliment the Chinese for making great kites without any reverse engineering of foreign designs.

I would be more interested about this news if the Chinese government did not have the blood of 70 million innocent people on its hands. The CCP are a bunch of globalist Luciferian vampires who make human sacrifices. They all deserve to be executed and burn in Hell for eternity.
