Anyway speaking about Olympic time to watch another maiden voyage video
Ok so it simplified the process but still doesn’t negate all previous RCS reducing experience and development of RAM coating years before. So all of the US stealth tech does not come from this one paper
they had problems with diffraction which they solved with a soviet research paper
saying soviet research wasnt involved in the US stealth development is a lie
and it is still used to calculate the optimal shapes for stealth aircraft
(the most important aspect of a stealth aircraft)
The base software was still made by Lockheed. I’m sure they refined the computers and formulas past the Soviet paper to make things like the F-22, and more recently B-21
It helped but everything else is Lockheed or USAF or CIA
which wasnt able to give correct results
it only was able to calculate the correct values after they applied that research paper
and everything after that is based on the F-117 programm regarding steath
The Z-20 is an S-70 airframe modified to fit specific requirements for the Chinese military. Its more of a variant than a copy if anything
Also remember china has/had S-70s in service in some capacity so its an airframe they would have had plenty of experience with. Its no different then Chinese Flankers really.

You think the Su-57 that got destroyed by a $30 dollar drone is superior 💀💀💀💀💀
wow something got destroyed while it wasnt even manned
it dosent matter what gets killed by a drone strike on the ground
the only thing it shows us is that most if not all airfields arent properly protected against those kinds of attacks

It’s made worse by people arguing over the accuracy of simulations made by civilians based on public information and guess work because everything important about these planes is still classified.
These planes have been and will be for a long while impossible to model accurately. That’s why it is such a bad idea to bum rush these planes into the game

Wow a fighter jet was able to destroy a high altitude balloon it only shows that it can fly :/
Regardless of if you fanboy over Russian jets, you cannot say whatsoever that the Felon is better than that of the F-35 or the Raptor in that opinion, despite its percieved obsolescence. Not only that, the US Air Force is upgrading the F-22 to remedy some of the more obsolete or missing features. Also the balloon shootdown, while not the most spectacular show of force, does show the AIM-9X’s ability to lock onto low heat signature targets.
Also if the Su-57 is such a great jet, why has no country in the history of ever. From the KAAN, KF-21, J-35 to the AMCA all base their design off of that of the F-22, with some differences of course. Even the Su-57 bears a striking resemblence to that of the YF-23, especially the frontal area of the jet ;)
Which one? THey only bully ones that don’t work. Sure u may argue they do but … pretty much every one will do that, SAMs are useless against air superiority.
Also from what I know it was a MANPAD / small SPAA that took it down.
That’s an AI image, it doesn’t look like that cause the plane was spotted like once and this is where it came from.
Only 1 photo like ever. I know the tail, but just to say the front looks quite different.
in what because you cant tell me that the F-35 would be as good as the Su-57 in a dogfight
they are better in the stealth aspect that is true
but you would also defend the F-22 if it got bombed on the airfield
the SU-57 and YF-23 are completly different designs
it starts with the specefications they are trying to fullfil
and goes to wing shape and then to the airintakes
you mean bought it?
if so, there is one that did and another one is considering it
They remade the entire airframe cause the specific issues with engine and electronics. The Z20 was kind of designed for high alt, and cause how old the airframes China got they just remade one, still the same but internally the spacing and stuff are altered.
They based it off S70 100% but it was remade.

Iranian one with S-300, and other modern missile launchers as well as radars
Su57 is basically a su27 flattened the same way object 775 was.
