You totally missed my point.

And the entire premise of this thread is naive and uniformed.

If you went solely by looks, then both of these would be a rip off of the French Rafale and BAE Systems Eurofighter 2000 aircraft. Each of which have been in production for several years.

But of course, the evil Chinese had to have stolen the design from the Russians, there is no way that two different design teams would come up with similar looking designs without there being espionage involved.

Making mountains out of molehills seems to be the pastime of a lot of people in this forum lately.

MrS,

I'am than sorry for offending you.

Did i miss the point again

At my first glance, I thought it looked like the EuroFighter or Rafale, but I didn't know of that new Russian rig.

Pretty cool beans, copied or not.

I've always liked Russian planes. The Su-27 and MiG-29 were awesome.

Watch that movie I gave a link on few posts before. It shows the SU-35 aircraft which is advanced multi-purpose version of SU-27.

^^ neat video & cool plane. Looks like the intro to a video game

yeah, this video is kind of funny, a lot of CGI, but it gives a generic information of what this aircraft for and what can it do in a combat.

I've just come across on an interesting article about Jian-10 aircraft.

It seems that Jian-10 is a primary competitor to Russian middle-short range fighter Mig-29SMT. Its public presentation took place on 5th of Jan in Bejing. The Jian-10 aircraft uses Russian engines made by OKB Salut. Chineese have already built around 40 aircrafts which are used by Chineese military, also they're planning to start export of aircraft to Pakistan.

Also that article answers to "metalgearsolid" question. It says that the aircraft design is very similiar to the Israel LAVI-1 aircraft.
Of course both nations are denying the fact that Israel has ever shared any information with China.
