THAT! is MY POINT! yo bro, that's what those of us who remain very skeptical have been saying, my own conversion only in the last 2-3 years, as stated I thought they wanted F-117s?? I'm not so sure now??? In any regard, I believe the Chinese Flankers are honestly better aircraft as to construction and avionics?
you were pretty wrong claiming 055 was written off, but it was not, you claimed the problem was the structure the cause of the accident, it was the engine, so why i have to believe you?

Why would they want Su-35s when they already have T-50s and Su-30 MKIs?
Show me a J-XX Flanker that supercruises, when have you seen the J-20 or J-31 doing super maneuverability? never they fly on Russian engines, but i know the typical bla bla blah the super XXXXXXXXX engine has been tested never seen of course but tested

The Su-30SM two-seat fighter is supermaneuverable, equipped with active phased array radar, thrust vectoring engines and canard surfaces.

So Russia on the SU-30SM has AESA and Thrust vectoring

show me a J-20 flying like this it uses Al-31s

Not to be rude, but apparently you can't read. I was talking about India in my original post, not China. Even if it's China, my point still stands.

I think you are missing the point that many have been trying to convey. It's not about whether China already has a finished product. It's about China is making nice progress. And China has gained confidence that they can do this themselves. So they won't waste time and money to get something that they are confident that they will be able to make.

It's like you coming home and your wife is still cooking a fancy surf and turf dinner. The steaks are on the grill, salad is in the bowl, baked potato is in the oven and lobsters are in the pot. However, nothing is on the table yet. So what would you do? Patiently wait for your wife to finish everything and enjoy a nice fancy dinner? Pick up the phone and call a pizza delivery while completely humiliating and embarrassing your wife?

This is exactly what everyone has been saying. Not that China has gotten a polished engine. But that China has something very promising cooking in their oven. The Chinese govnt has confidence in their engineers. And also, they respect their engineers. And we should too.
