Pump a slammer into one of these over the South China Sea and an hour later you’re ready to schwack another one.

Looks like a smaller version of the B70 Valkyerie.

Not in the sense that the F-22 uses 2-D "paddles to steer thrust output. The chinese may have copied the russian technique where the entire exhaust cone vectors to create conical thrust steering.

They don't have greedy corporations (Lockheed-Martin) that put corporate profits and huge executive bonuses ahead of national interests;Prove that statement. And don't use the cliche arguments "everybody knows" or "It's common knowledge".

It looks even more like the
MiG 1.44 prototype from the late 1990s/early 2000s, including the ventral fins. It appears the Chinese cleaned up the lines to improve it's stealthiness, but relied on the basic aerodynamic shape of the 1.44.

I worked at Lockheed Martin and on both of these programs when both aircraft were being developed. There was no incentive to keep costs under control, and virtually no effort was made to do so until they got so high that the number of aircraft being bought began to be cut.

I also worked for LM at Fort Worth. I worked quality assurance and interfaced with DCAS/DCAA frequently. They always kept our feet to the fire on contract end item deliverables and cost. I never saw any evidence of what you claim. Where did you work and what did you do?

Our Bid, R&D and Production costs are so ridiculously high thanks to the candy covered rules written by our legislators. We must keep our weapons companies executives fully satisfied, after all they will need to retire someday and we don’t want them living like paupers, do we?
