The story was by the time J-11s are being produced by the end of 1990s, China was very unsatisfied with the N001 radar and domestic radar that's signifcantly lighter and better performance was inserted into the airframe. However, it messed up the aerodynamics so much that first prototype almost crashed. lead weights carefully into the radar section to make it even flyable. It took nearly half a decade of work before SAC was able to balance the plane properly by using composite material, integerade domestic systems properly via J-11Bs and later J-16s.

even if china did rip the entire plans and specs for the F-35 theres no reason why they would copy/paste it. They could just use that as a comparison for their own testing. I think it stands to reason they would afterall want to beat their adversary, not just meet them at the same level. Do consider that 20 years ago a chinese car was some 3 wheel bubble with a scooter engine and now they are mass building cars that actually meet requirements for exports - so they are clearly quite good at improvement and iteration when they put their minds to it. They will probably be flying those tictacs that we all seen in the navy ufo clips in 20 years from now

[@cerealport2726]

Every country conducts espionage at some level. China do tend to have a (likely justified) reputation for ignoring patents and the like, but I agree with you, I think they want the best they can build, and humans are incredible at innovation.

The machinery and tools were destroyed and they said it would cost an enormous amount of money to re-create it all and get the production back online. For a slightly higher price you can start a new program that uses modern and current tech. Also the F-22s are very expensive to upgrade.

[@Splattle101]

Good video with a well-reasoned cautious analysis. As Millenium7* has noted, this stuff is far too complicated for straight 'rip off' copying. The copying and espionage are definitely happening, but those claiming Chinese stuff is all copies are just indulging in Olympic-class cope that promotes head-in-the-sand conclusions. On the 5th gen attributes, I confess I'm more interested in the networking capability of this and the J-20 than their stealth. The stealth is important, but it's hard to tell how valuable it is for the Chinese concept of operations. For example, if (speculating) the J-20 is intended as an AWACs & tanker killer, then moderately effective forward-aspect LO + a really good long range AAM would make a very effective combo. If that were the case, the Chinese may have made the judgement that the effort to further reduce RCS is better spent on more lethal AAMs.

He also seems to know how awesome the French Rafale is yet when it comes to anything American he babbles on about how it's all ordinary and insignificant. Geez he even claimed only the Europeans (specifically the French) were any good at making composite materials for stealth aircraft, that was my last straw.

People think copying an aircraft is easy, but it's not. Changing even one inch of an aircraft means you have to change and test all the systems again. It's not like math homework where you can just copy and paste. For example, if you change the radar, you need to change all the software. If you change the missile, you need to adjust all the targeting systems. So, you can't completely copy an aircraft. Some say certain planes are copies of the F-35, but that's not true. They might be inspired by the F-35, and some technology might have been stolen by Chinese hackers. If that happened, first, the CIA should be ashamed for not noticing, and second, you should acknowledge that the Chinese are very hard-working. Competing with Western technology isn't as easy as it seems.

China was literally using junk and still beat the sh** out of the US and UN forces in Korea. You need to learn to fear China. Remember, from the Huns, to the Mongols, to now, the fear of East Asian superpower has long been etched in your blood.

F35 crashes more often. The latest one was in Albuquerque just a week ago. In fact, it has so many maintenance challenges, that half the entire fleet is grounded and not available at sny one time. And they cost 100 million dollar per plane.

[@spekenbonen72]

Soooo.... Copy pasting plans doesn't make a 5th gen fighter. If you don't do the research, you don't know the pro's and cons of certain design points. FWIW Russia's development programs are done in 10's (10 prototypes, 2 of those have the most recent designs and equipment and can be shown as "operational"). That is why we don't see SU-57's or T-14 Armata's (the same deal for Russian tank development. 10 prototypes, 2 rolling tanks). Russia does their own development though. So they might know what they are talking about. China, just copy pastes stuff and has no (ZERO) knowledge or experience. Dunno about India....

@@4rct1c9Ic3m4n lmao. I wasn’t trying to be insulting there. I observed that most of the time this kind of comments are made by Indians because they were salty that a Taiwanese (not even Chinese according to the western world) important media « insulted » their HAL Tejas and INS Vikrant and therefore because they can’t make the difference between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese characters or just by racism (they are) they insulted everything coming from china, forgetting that 2024 India is arguably still inferior economically and life quality wise than 2005 china.

Yep. Looks like an F-22 from Wish.

[@billrich9722]

@@Retronyx The J-31 never entered production. It exists, as far as anybody knows, as a test platform that is continually being shelved and revisited for "potential" service. Nearly two hundred F-22s were built and are in operation to this day. The first one was delivered over twenty five years ago. Last I checked, an aircraft that exists is better than an aircraft that doesn't exist. You might want to... I dunno... know at least a little bit of what you're talking about before chiming in.

It’s not 5th generation there’s only 2 legitimate 5th gen fighters on earth everything else is just 4th plus gen not 4th but not quite 5th gen it takes more than a low radar cross section to be 5th gen and that’s all these other fighter have is a low radar cross section the SU-57 the J-20 the J-31 the KAAN are all in the same class as the KF-21 they’re 4th gen plus or 4th plus gen not quite 5th gen but better than 4th gen there’s literally only 1 aircraft manufacturer that knows the secret to building a true 5th gen fighter and that’s Lockheed Martin everyone else can claim 5th gen but they’re wrong and ignorant they want to look equal in the eyes of the world but if they ever come up against a F-22 they will get shot out of the sky before they even know there’s a bogie in their airspace

[@malathomas6141]

Is 5th gen fighter a real term used by the usaf? And do they have a classification for what a fifth gen fighter is?

[@pvbarbell1904]

I guess that's why the US is retiring the F-22, because its so far ahead it isn't fair to other countries. LOL

[@leejack2478]

Let me tell you one bloody truth my bro, F-22 and F-35 are NOT 5th gen fighters today, because they are NOT stealthy any more in front of Chinese radars !

[@topspeed9004]

Poor kiddos don’t even know that j20 is far better from that f22 submarine in every single aspect.

[@brittbarlow6111]

Very respectfully, The J-31 is not a fifth Gen aircraft!

[@kborak]

forgotten because its not a 5th gen fighter and its just a poor copy.

[@malathomas6141]

Why is it a poor copy

[@tluangasailo3663]

J-31 is the knockoff of F-35, since its maiden flight 2011, its stuck in prototype stage till date, there a grand total of 4 prototype out there, guess its hard to replicate the core technology of F-35

[@malathomas6141]

How can a 2 engine designed airplane be a single engine designed airplane knockoff. Do you know how massive the difference in airframe between a single and dual engine plane is?

[@energymf1991]

After reading the comments on this video, I can only say that the audience level of this channel is too poor. It feels like it's all based on speculation, with almost no data to verify the statement. They are not on the same level as Chinese military enthusiasts. If the J-31 was an imitation of the F-35, it would not have been designed this way in the first place. Even the angle of the rear wing is different. I don't know about the level of military enthusiasts you are. Do you know that different angles of tails, vertical tails and tilted tails are also different for stealth? As for the J-31 you mentioned, it has not been produced. This is because the aircraft originally designed by the designer and manufacturer of the J-31 did not have a good stealth effect. If you have the ability, you can search for the earliest j-31. There is no dsi air intake (so there is no plagiarism) It's because the J-20 has a DSI air intake, so the technology is shared. J-31 will always be updated. As for the core technology of the F-35, the number of engines is different. Helmet Display You can search the Pakistani forum to see if they are going to comment on the j-10 helmet and voice commands. Sorry, I am a very serious military enthusiast.
