Canards aren’t stealthy.

Let’s call it and PAK-FA what they are. Low observability.

At least it’s actually flyable and doesn’t include SONAR.

Ah, from the “cover it in zillions of pounds of RAM so it can’t fly for shit, then attempt to fix flying with canards so the end result is an anomalous giant signature” school of stealth, then.

I’m afraid you’re wrong, I read it on a Chinese news site that this is the best stealth ever, way better than the us...and is a fully domestic product without any foreign information or technology being used...

Canards are super unstealthy they make a ton of noise and you can hear them from a mile away

“canards aren’t stealthy”

I’ve heard that before, but I believe it’s an unfounded rumor or story.

(canard humor....yeah)

Iran’s claimed stealth fighter. The US military isn’t really concerned about it.

That right there is the pinnacle of Iranian stealth technology.

Here we see it “in flight”.

And finally the advanced avionics suite. Look how compact they made everything.

Hahaha, suckers. They thought the F19 was real!

Meh, it’s just meant to be “good enough”. The canards are there to help with wing-loading issues, and it shows that China has very little experience in advanced aircraft design.

The idea is good, a long range low observability fighter that can engage our Tanker and AWACS assests, but we will have to wait to find out if they pulled it off.

That fake will not amuse me. Just look at the canopy - it’s just nothing but scuffed and scratched plastic. Plus the “pilot’s” knees are practically in his chest.

It’s great. I wonder how much money they saved by not even making it look convincing.

put head to head with US fighters, it wins bigly.

I can see the headlines now: Canards lose their 75th dogfight.

Not according to the documentary I saw about this plane.

No, you’re totally wrong. Look at the picture they took of it flying over the mountains of Colorado. We didn’t even know it flew over the country it is so stealthy and has such range. That totally wasn’t photoshopped from the picture of it on the stand at their show. Those spots from the light on the in flight picture are totally natural lighting and not the indoor lighting at the show at all.

I’m totally convinced that Iran stealth technology is clearly the best stealth technology.

Also... CHEMTRAILS!!!!!!

Let’s just say that the Dale car was more real and closer to being a functioning production item.

Nobody’s really sure what the hell For Sweden does, aside from being the most laconic commenter on Oppo.
