link"From the side profile, it really looks like a 75% (scale) F-22 from the bottom, and the top profile it very much looks like an F-35." Who else wants to see on in 1/300 soon? |

Yes, this has already been slagged off by the US contingent elsewhere :) |

I like it, and suspect a lot of the technical drawings are from the real, American model(s). Should make visual IFF determination difficult. |

It actually kind of reminds me of the Mig-25. The intakes look very sharp and angular--not very stealthy. |

A secret document has leaked revealing some of the inner directives of one of the military agencies. It reveals the exact information on how to fight and intercept latest stealth jets of enemy states. We've got our copy here and translated those. Title says: "Hit with showel all the weak spots of F117″. Then more detailed instructions go: "Hit the navigation dashboard and armaments controls with a showel." "Hit the pilots place." "By hitting the surface of the plane with a showel you make the anti-radar stealth surface damaged" "Put the small stones inside the engines with a showel". from link |

Hmmm, and interesting tactic, but am not sure where one could get a "showel" on this side of the oceans, so that is a bit problematic. Wouldn't removal of the tailfins be easier, if you can get up close and personal to it? Filling the pitot tubes with bubblegum would be even easier. I learned that tactic from a Russian spy, in the movie Ice Station Zebra. Of course, perhaps it is difficult for communists to obtain bubblegum still. |

"Hit with shovel…" I thought it looked like that had already been done. |

"Hit with showel all the weak spots of F117.
"It is no difficulty to be successfully breaking F117 with socialist showel device."
"In Soviet Russia, showel dig you!" |

Are F-117 even still in service? And I suppose if you paint it black and call it a stealth design that is good enough in China. |
