So this is what that red-head and her cohorts were up to.


I thought spying only happened in AH.

Or maybe someone at the Pentagon gave it all away on 200.

I wonder if it's covered in lead paint.

LOL I realized that after I posted. Hence the lead paint comment.

I figured on leaving it up because they're all RED in my eyes.  :rofl

It looks even less like the YF-23 than the F-22 IMO...
Either way, all modern jets look the same (ugly)


Except for those русский ones...

Is the F-35 capable of defeating Soviet-era aircraft in an air-to-air engagement?

Most obvious problem this plane will suffer is likely very low performing engines. They haven't quite figured that out yet.

That original posters plane bears little resemblance to the YF-23 other than a maybe a few basic angles. The inlets are closer to the F-22, as is twin the vertical tail and nose chin. The YF-23 had no redundant flight control surfaces, the Chinese plane has several. Neither the YF-23 or the F-22 have front canards, for good reasons safety and engineering wise.

Sorry but they are alike only in the fact that they both fly (oh wait perhaps not) and have a twin engine twin tail arrangement.

Everything I've seen about the F-35 is that she's a significant step backwards from the F-22.
