Bullshit story . China has had the full design for the F-35 for 5yrs . Russian SU-57 is the baddest plane in war
1. I wrote in my other thread on this same subject (which I cannot find), that it is
suspected that China stole about 65 terrabytes of e F-35 blue prints..If China has,
there is no evidence that it has helped it build the better engine needed for its
own planes. Its top stealth fighter, the strange looking Shenyang J-20, was so
woefully under-powered that the Chinese went hunting for a Russian engine; Of
course the Russians would not simply cede an engine to China, so the Chinese
offered to buy 2 of Russia's top of the line SU-35 fighter jets which carry that
that engine. The Russians, who had been burned by the Chinese before, knew
that the Chinese simply wanted to steal technology from their planes, and refused.
However, after protracted negotiations, the Chinese agreed to buy 24 Su-35s for
$2 billion, and thus acquired access to the powerful Saturn AL 41F engine on those
fighters....The results showed immediately; a Chinese J-20 stealth (and even J10)
at the Nov 2018 China International Airshow stunned the audience by executing
aerial maneuvers that had up to that point been manifested only by Russian planes.
2. The Su-57 is a troubled project. The plane is bigger and heavier than the F-22
it was intended to chase out of the sky, but the engines it has had so far have
not been able to generate satisfactory performance.. The production models of
the Su-57 have carried the same AL41F engine that is on the Su 35, which puts out
about 32,000lbs of after-burning thrust. There has been a project to equip these
planes with the new Izdylie 30 engine, and but that project is still ongoing. It was
announced that 2 Su-57s had been fitted with these engines in December 2017,
but it is possible that there have been teething problems, as the Russian announced
last year that full scale production was being pushed back.
The Americans already have the answer to this issue. The F135 engine on the F-35
produces an outrageous 28,000 lbs of dry thrust, and 43,000 lbs in reheat, which is
what the Russian plane needs. There is no jet fighter engine out their with these
kinds of specifications, and this alone would be reason enough for the Russians to
offer a Japanese pilot $200 million to defect and hand them an F-35.
In addition to this, the Russian would be able to inspect, first hand, the latest
versions of American radar absorbing materials coating that plane. There would
also be access to the vaunted electronics of the F-35, said by the Americans to be
superior to anything ever conceived....The electronics of the F-35 make that plane,
which is kinematically challenged, a fearsome adversary. Not withstanding its own
tiny and insignificant payload, it is said to be capable sitting unseen in the sky,
surveying the battle space, and playing quarterback of the entire fearsome offensive
capacity of the US. Therefore destroyers and frigates could launch their missiles;
B52 and B1 bombers could deploy their cruise missiles; to say nothing of armed
drones, and the F-35 would then take control of all these vehicles and direct them
to target in a various and dynamic manner,...
And if attacked, the little plane is said to so choke-full of electronics that it
would immediately be aware of and defeat the threat. Whether all this works as
said is not the point; the Russians would dearly love to study, and as necessary,
co-opt the technology to their own ends.
The SU-57 has had other issues. The Indians, who were early investors in
the undertaking pulled out, citing shoddy workmanship, and questionable
stealth properties. The truth may be that the Indians felt that their $6 billion
investment was getting the unacceptable return of Russia refusing to share
software codes. Either the way, their delusional asses then reached out to the
Yanks and inquired whether they could be allowed to buy F-35s. The Yanks
deftly deflected the Indian inquiry, to the means and methods of the 40-year
old F-16, offering to sell them the right manufacture 114 such planes at a cost of
$21 billion. The idea induced dissatisfaction among the Indians, not least because
the F-16 is the same plane Pakistan has had for 30 years. The Americans, sensibly
and sensitively, therefore, created a new name for the plane that India would be
getting, calling it F-21, while changing little else about what essentially is the
same F-16 Bahrain is buying.
The Indians have since gone back to the Russians to inquire about the Su-57,
but the Russians, have apparently offered the Indians even more Su-30s, having
been burnt before. The Indian media has claimed that it is the Russians who
have offered the Su-57, with more access to the software codes. Either way,
the Russians have become wary of the Indians, after the coolies had their little
dalliance with the Americans. This is to say nothing of the already existing
penchant by the Indians, to pit the latest Russian planes they obtain, against
Americans, in mock combat at such events as Red Flag, that has vexed the
Russians to no end...
The Americans fired a warning shot to India 2 months ago, threatening to
impose sanctions on it, after a decrepit Indian Mig-21 shot down an American
made Pakistani F-16. At the time, many in the Indian establishment began to
question why Indian should spend money on the F-16, a plane that had been
shot down by the 60 year old Russian technology of the Mig-21;
