According to Bill Gertz at the Washington Times “The Pentagon is scrambling to explain what appears to be an intelligence failure after Internet photos made public recently showed a faster-than-estimated advance of China’s new fifth-generation warplane.”
In an interview, Chief of Naval Intelligence Adm. David Dorsett, stated that the “new Chinese fighter program was not a surprise, but “the speed at which they are making progress … we underestimated.”” According to Chinese Air Force Gen. He Weirong the country expects to deploy the J-20 Stealth Aircraft as early as 2017.
The only obstacle China has in its stealth program is engine development. To date they have to depend on Russia for its engines and it is unknown if China has developed indigenous jet engines, outside of copying Russian designs.
Mr. Richard Fisher, a Senior Fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center, warns “If the United States wishes to remain an Asian power capable of deterring Chinese … Continue Reading

Obviously Chinas intelligence is intelligent and our Intelligence is cretinous....
“If the United States wishes to remain an Asian power capable of deterring Chinese aggression, or preventing future generations from becoming victims of China’s dictates, it is essential that an improved version of the F-22 be put into crash development, as well as putting a sixth-generation fighter into formal development.”
First we’re told we’re not a Christian Nation, now I find out we’re Asian?
Sheesh. If all you were going to do is post a teaser and a link to a blog, then you might as well have linked to the original news source instead and cut out the middleman. Then it would have PROPERLY belonged under “News.”

THEN... the democrats can sell or give that data to the Chinese as well.. The democrats are (you know) more in sympathy with the Chinese government than with the American Constitution.. All democrats are either Traitors -OR- enablers of Traitors.. Its been that way since 1990 at least..

China's 'stealth fighter' flies – brown trouser time, or not?
Actually, the J-20 most resembles the MiG 1.42, a design study a number of years old that is many years old.
Actually, the DemonRAT party is a “wholly owned subsidiary” of Soros, Inc. Soros doesn't fit neatly into “Communist”, “Socialist” or any one particular definition. He uses, owns and manipulates those groups to further his goals.
While the DemonRAT party is chock full of card carrying Communists, they are but a faction of the overall makeup.

Neah. They’re just comparing the the PRC does things to the way we do things.
It takes a decade or more for us to get a prototype. It takes months of testing after that to get it into the air.
Obviously the PLAAF doesn’t have this issue. Fascism ain’t good for much, but, if you have specific goal, it can get some things done really, really quick.
