How much is the J-20 at Walmart?

Do they do delivery or is it in-store pickup only?

RE: How much is the J-20 at Walmart?

I wouldn’t mock or underestimate the Chinese war plane at all. It does not serve the USA to simply dismiss a weapon whose technology is mostly stolen from us.

I noticed that the General used the word “relatively” a lot.
Not that I’m inferring anything from that. :)

After seeing how poorly the Russians are performing in Ukraine. I’m starting to believe our Military Industrial Complex oversold the capabilities of our adversaries.

A lot of this is spin to make us spend more on defense.

Stolen from the 1990s based on 1970s and 1970s tech.

[for-q-clinton]

should say 1970 and 1980s tech

Chinese manufactured aircraft and their pilots have yet to be tested in real combat against well armed, determined foes. Not until actual shooting starts will the world learn if they are any good. Xi himself does not know if they are any good.

I think you completely misunderstood me. 😬

I’m just saying all the money spent at Walmart probably helped finance the thing

Most certainly stolen technology.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that! /Seinfeld

Yeah, seeing: “advanced fighter jets from the United States and China came face to face..” I instantaneously read: advanced fighter jets from the United States and the United States came face to face..

These feeling each other out dances have gone on frequently for years between the major and minor powers. It’s only military worth is to see what the response looks like, what adjusts does the other guy make.

If anybody were to really mean business they wouldn’t play around like this. It’s more to get you to reveal your opening chess defensive move(s).

Bar of Freight has the same aircraft in a choice of colors.

[Magnum44]

Relatively close….

[MikeSteelBe]

Has anyone noticed that if the canopies were that close, the vertical stabilizers would be crashing into the other aircraft.

[glorgau]

The very last thing one you want to be inis a fair fight. Overmatch is a good thing.

[FarCenter]

yet to be tested in real combat against well armed, determined foes

When was the last such combat?

[McGruff]

This is going to be a costly war for US. Sad.
