I have to say im amazed at the amount of copies that come out of China. The rip off of the GM Hummer took the cake im my book. I can understand stealing a planes design but a Truck Its not really hard to design a military truck its not rocket science.

If all aircrafts made by China are pathetic copies then it means that the originals are pathetic.

Has Raptor deployed or even visited outside of US Airspace yet?
Wouldnt that be a kicker. A nine figure super fighter that your scared to let outside your boarders in case it crashes and some else gets to the parts first.....maybe there is hope for world peace
