jimnmsWow, it looks like a copy of the YF-23.

SkeeveWhile it's always advantageous to take an active interest in a potential enemy's weapons, I think the fear with which many have been looking at the tiny amount of information about the J-20 is unwarranted.
For a time, the American military was terrified that the Russians had developed a nuclear-powered aircraft before they had solved many of the fundamental problems to nuclear-powered flight. It wasn't until many years later that they found out that the Russians had built it with very little to no radiation shielding - condemning the pilots and crew to radiation sickness and death.
I think people need to take a step back and watch the Chinese progress with interest but not fear - at least until they get some engines they didn't just buy from Russia.

siftbotMoving this video to Drachen_Jager's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
TheSofaKingThe problem with this Jet is that 20 minutes after filling it with fuel, it has to be fueled again.
toferyusays...I wonder about something else :
1. The person filming sure took insane risks filming this (can't even start to imagine the consequences if caught) when actually it doesn't really show much.
2. If I were the Chinese Gvt and I wanted to get the pentagon's panties in a bunch I could always "leak" some footage of an old fighter made-up to look like some new stealth fighter (think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_tank) Major cost-effectiveness...
