So...how did the Chinese get this technology? Is it considered stealth?
I know...dumb question, I just want to make sure of what you are talking about. ;o)
Good question.I really do not think what the chinese have right now stealth technology. Stealth is not a single technology. Stealth comes from multiple technologies. Varying degrees of stealth can be achieved. I think that the Chinese had multiple sources. The biggesr source was the F-117 being shot down over Serbia. This gave the Russians and the Chinese the rudementary basics of stealth technology.That was their roadmap. We have pictures of Serbs picking at the wreckage. Personally, I really do not think there is a 100% Stealth plane. You can pick up the plane through its exhaust, there are new radar techniques out there that can pick them up on radar.There this theory out there that geomagnetism or magnetism can pick up planes.
This is why we need to constantly refining our technology to be one step ahead.
The Chinese do not have a stealth plane. They only have the rudimentary basics of stealth.
