Mustang, I suggest you read this SP thread

If, after having read through that thread, you still have an honest question regarding this laughably optimistic (at best) comment by that Chinese general to the press, I suggest you ask it again in the other thread, so eveeryone stays on the same page, as it were.

Stupid board software.

The chinese can claim what they like. They are having enough trouble getting their F-16 clone to work and can't produce engines on their own that are even as good as the russian ones, which are vastly inferior to western engines.

If they're lucky it will be as good as the Rafael. If not, it will be another "learning experience" like their Nuke Subs. If they are extremely unlucky, they might really scare the US. The last time the russians did that we went from F-4s to the Falcons and Eagles.

Even if everything is as claimed in that link, it's going to be another 8-10 yrs before they are out in any numbers and think of how far the F-15/16/18s evolved in their service lives. The US and Europe are not going to be sitting still in the mean time. Nor are the F-22s and F-35s and what ever drone black projects that are cooking up in the Military budget.

It's not good to be complacent, but it's also not good to get worked up into a lather every time someone says they have the next great thing. Military technology does not evolve in a vacuum.
