Looks like an F/A-18 to me.

I think the word “stealth” is lost in the translation to Chinese.
The engine inlets, gear doors, and external stores are not at all stealthy.

It doesn’t look particularly stealthy.
Ability to track and engage multiple targets is good, I supose.

"Jian-11B's radar can track 20 targets simultaneously..." Good thing the U.S. would never install a radar detector!

Well, the aircraft shown in the picture does not look like it has any stealth technology. But, maybe the picure shown is not the aircraft that is the subject of the article.

I wonder if Mr. Hsu and the Clintons had anything to do with the PLA’s ability to develop this fighter so quickly.

Dunno. Who was president 10 years ago?

You're right - it has to have a huge RCS. Look at the boxy engine inlets. The rails/hard-points on the wing tips. The sharp pointed ventral fins. All the discontinuities around the elevators and engine exhausts. Not to mention from the front you apparently get to look right down the inlets at the compressor blades. It has a lot of the same features (radar speaking) of an F-14 or F-18 - in other words its going to be bright as day up there.
The only thing stealthy about this will be that by the time our fighters get to it, it'll be a smoking hole in the ground (thus off radar) after having been shot down by an AMRAAM in a beyond visual range engagement...
To: TigerLikesRooster
About the only stealthy thing possible I can think of looking at that pic is that it might have radar absorbing paint.
Otherwise it’s just an ordinary fighter jet.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Probably uses some of that lead paint I’ve been hearing so much about.

Blinking makes it stealthy because when you blink you can't see it.
I have to go now because my invisible rabbit needs me.

Well, maybe this is the picture of the older plane on which Jian-11B was based.
Here is a picture of Jian-11

The Cox Report, from a few years back, detailed all kinds of secrets that slipped out our back door and went to China, while clinton was in office.
