It could be a diversion, to divert attention .It's like to protect it from prying eyes they could be showing off something that is an earlier prototype so that the current development goes on unnoticed and people divert their attention to speculating about the revealed version . "Earlier proto...

The J-20 is indeed a very good machine ... but I could disagree with the author in many respects ... He passes himself as a know-all but actually his analysis is very very far from any in depth analysis ... in fact I learnt nothing new from it ... David (I think) had posted a nice article a few day...

In Asia-Pacific: India, South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Australia to start with. Ironically, 5th Gen is now (post Cold War) required ONLY in Asia-Pacific and ONLY against China. I have yet to see even a prototype from anyone else but Russia. So the question now is (assuming the Russians will deliver...

I guess time will tell. Right now, the best we've got from anyone are estimates or opinions even. You can only tell so much through pictures, and I'm sensing that currently there are mixed views coming from everyone. Nothing is certain unless the Chinese choose to disclose more information. But if ...

Since every man and his uncle can do an analysis, here is mine, regarding the J-20. Large aircraft with what appear to be features of mainly frontal stealth. The shapes and angle seem right. There is no real information about materials There is no real information about an AESA radar and its true c...

Why do you think this? Everyone else who matters will have 5th Gen fighters too. Maybe better ones. Before China? Who's everyone else, and how long would it take? I haven't even seen a prototype from anyone but Russia, but my estimate is the Russians will deliver at around the time the J20 goes in ...

One would think a polished product underwent some polishing? The WS-10 needs far more than that. They're flying unready concepts. Could you please point out any self-criticism of Chinese weapons by Chinese in English media? I have yet to see such a thing. To think that they have the capability to d...

Nolan, you make a whole bunch of generalisations without any supporting facts. Could you please point to English reputable sources for Chinese rocket precision and reliability or Chinese weapons reliability? Which customers vouch for their reliability, countries like Pakistan? If the WS-15 hasn't b...

I do believe the Chinese have had success with the areas of manned space missions+satellite navigation systems, and they have a lot more ambitious plans. LEO space flight is no longer a big deal. As far as Sat-Nav is concerned let them launch it first. Though co-incidentally both India and China ar...

could you please use quotes ? Sorry, I will next time. Wasn't really sure how to quote sections as I am new to this forum, but think I've now figured it out. Sorry, will definitely pay more attention next time. If there are any rules/habits etc. I should be aware of, please tell me in advance, than...

I think I've made myself clear enough, if you can pick out the key points in that pile of mumble jumble, I'm not here to write essays, so the only thing I will say is, time will tell. Whether it's wonderful or terrible, do you, I or anyone for that matter, (except for a few of the Chinese involved w...

"Sir - your personal background is as irrelevant as the nationality of the author of the article. Mentioning either of them (or both, as you have done) is a waste of words that adds no real substance to a discussion of Chinese weapons technology." Well, if it is that big of a deal and real...

For them, sometimes just catching up is enough, because they've been behind the West for what, centuries? A century and a half might be more appropriate. Before the 1800's asian's were far advanced. Yeah, you know what I mean. A century and a half is a pretty long period, especially considering whe...

Did I say in any way it would be more credible because the author was American? I was just stating the fact that it was written by an American, nothing else implied. :) Well many Chinese believe that American sources are more credible that Chinese sources and try to deflect criticism by saying &quo...

I will post the analysis again, I think it's an interesting take on the J20, written by an American. Ahem. Does it become more credible if an American writes the analysis? Did I say in any way it would be more credible because the author was American? I was just stating the fact that it was written...

Hey! Enough with the large inline pictures already! Not everyone has a T-1 internet connection! Edit them please and leave links thank you very much.. Btw, those bumps under the wings appear to be the actuators for the aeilerons. The picture of the aircraft beneath the one where its marked and you'...

I will post the analysis again, I think it's an interesting take on the J20, written by an American. I don't see any reason for it to be deleted. Actually, nvm. "China's J-20 Stealth Fighter: Secrets Revealed (PICS)" http://www.politikalmatters.com/2011/05/j-20-vs-f-22-revisited.html I wil...

Well, if I can't post pictures, if anyone want to see them then just go to this link http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/military-aviation/57515-chinese-5th-gen-fighter-photo-aviation-week-47.html and this is the for the WZ 10 attack helicopter http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/military-aviation/58386-p...

Alright, I get the picture thing, but how come the analysis posted was also deleted?

looks like earlier speculations about the J20 were wrong, it has taken multiple flights since January and there is video footage of its weapon bay doors opening.
