What's up with leaked pics of so called Chinese stealth fighter?



It looks big (compared to F 22 and PAKFA)



According to Washington post news report (December 2010),

China still depends on Russia not only for jet Engines but also for other weapons as well.



I think neither China nor India can become an independent air power without an indigenous engine.



So called Jxxx stealth is most likely powered by 117s Russian engines (China also placed an order for 300 AL-31 Russian engines in 2005 for J10s (old news) and planning to order more engines for its other fighters J11s, from Chernyshev plant, Russia)



It does not mean Jxxx design is not a copy. J-20 or Jxxx is certainly similar to the MiG 1-42 and 1-44, F22 and even F35



IAF wanted Mig to build its stealth fighter but Russians preferred sukhoi.



Indian stealth fighter (AMCA) would be interesting (I feel more focus will be on stealth for AMCA)
