CDR Salamander nails the J-20.

Read his post here, but I think CDR Salamander nails it when it comes to the J-20.  Many believed the J-20 to be a fighter.  Why?  Because thats what the US, and Russia are working on.  This is what Salamander says....

I don't know about you - but the J-20 looks less like a fighter and more like a penetrating attack aircraft; almost an update of the F-111 concept.

Even with allowances for Chinese technology not being as compact as Western technology (which I think is slightly a bogus argument in 2011) - that bird is big for a reason. I don't think air superiority is it.

Read the whole thing but I would bet good money that by this time next Tuesday every think tank in the US will be switching gears and following the CDR's lead.

The real C-130/A-400 Killer...

Airbus Military, Boeing and Lockheed Martin better be thanking their lucky stars that Japan has extremely tight controls on the sales of its military equipment.

If they brought this plane to market and IF it was sold at a decent price then it would sweep the cargo plane market clear of competition.
