Chinese pilots will still be ducks for the USAF no matter what they fly due to training disparities. It's their capability to field a 200 million man ground force that worries me.
in actuality, its not even an equal match to our F-16
the Commie Chinks can't make decent fighters, or anything else for that matter.

To my sadness, this airplane is not designed by our scientists. Buy is buy, though it's a brand new SU.

That famed 'cobra' maneover that aircraft can do is quite a feat but in realtime combat, just how effective is it really going to amount to?

The Cobra maneuver can be used to make an opponent to overshoot and to disappear from the radar screen due to Doppler effect.

"Joint Chinese-Israel operation." from the initial post.
Of course, the upside to that may be that it will allow us to shoot them down even quicker, if our lap dog brings it's goodies back to papa...
But it could be a case that China might have something better up their sleeves. I would certainly believe that China would know that Israel would most likely inform the US of the specs on this particular aircraft. Then again, Washington may not really care. The Pentegon Brass feel they have the best trained and many of the best aircraft in the world.
On the other hand, China is continually buying highly advanced aircraft from Russia, so they may see it as insignificant that the US would know of the joint project and its spec's. There are many possible scenerio's for answers here. Great find though.

Iz any1 here actually afraid of China.. I know i may sound naieve but they don't have as much power as the govn't says they do... Now if we went into another war w/ Japan imagine how many ppl would be messed up, Sony, Mitsubishi, and about two thirds of the world's electronic entertainment are made in Japan... IT'd be a hard slap in the face. China's fighter doesn't mean anything dude, We've got the F-22 Falcon. Amen.
