Well, look at those big fat engine nozzels in the back...those are missile vacuums. The F-22 and F-35 do a LOT better job of masking that infrared signature than what this appear to do. The new Chinese J-20 has the same problem...twin missile vaccums sticking out the back.

Fine fighters I am sure, but I do not believe they will be near as stealthy, either radar wise or heat wise as the Raptor or JSF. And that is a huge handi-cap.

In addition, we are going to build a LOT of F-35s.

We need a President and Congress who will double and triple the number of F-22s. We only built 187 of them and then stopped. We need 400 or more.

Those big fat engine nozzles are probably quite stealthy, as is the T-50.

You can see that the nacelles are not ordinary at all.

“...big fat engine nozzels in the back...those are missile vacuums...”

LOL! Nice observation on your part.

I’m not an aeronautical engineer, but I said the same exact thing about the vaunted Chinese “stealth fighter” (or bomber?) when the pics were posted on FR back in December 2010.

Well...we'll see.
