New Chinese Stealth Fighter Photos Emerge

By Bethany Whitfield / Published: Sep 20, 2012

The new Chinese stealth fighter, believed to be the J-21.

Photos of what appears to be a new Chinese stealth fighter recently surfaced on the Internet, triggering a flood of speculation regarding the jet’s potential capabilities and what implications it holds for the evolution of Chinese military air power.

The single-seat, twin-engine fighter has been designated as the J-21 or the J-31, and is the product of Shenyang Aircraft Corp.

obastard cancelled our Raptor and gave the chi-coms the design files. The jigs were not broken up but transported to china.

As someone said, he had to pay for that $35,000,000 retirement cottage with something. He and moochie won’t miss a lick when it comes to lifestyle.

. . . Chinese unemployment is very low . . .

China ranks about 70th in unemployement rate. I would hardly call that very low. The estimated rate for 2011 was at 6.5%.

. . . China now makes more than any other country . . .

And in GDP purchasing power parity they rank #3.

The design on the tail looks similar to Pratt and Whitney’s logo.

Unless we allow them to copy our designs, our military industrial complex would shrink to nothing.Most of our foreign aid must be used to buy weaponry from US suppliers. We absolutely need a war going on somewhere if we expect to bring our economy back up.

“What are the wheels for if it has so many legs?”

I was thinking, “that thing should really move down the runway with that many legs” Good laugh for the day.

Your export dollars at work.

Globalism is GREAT isn’t it?

[dfwgator]

Well if there’s a photo of it, it’s not very stealth, is it? ;)

Don't get carried away. The Il-38 "May" was supposed to be Russia's copy of the P-3 Orion. Instead, the Il-38 is a piece of crap.

Yeah, but the Chinese can get away with shooting the designer of the "piece of crap" and look at his second-in-command and simply say "try again".

Looks like they’ve got a red sofa hung on the side. That must be the new General Tso’s Chicken Missile.

[Mr. Jazzy]

Agreed. Good catch.

As long as they put their bogus computer chips in them we have notheing to worry about.

Looks longer to improve stability. I’m sure we still hold a big lead in Flight Control Computers. We design our planes unstable on purpose so they can manuever better.
