those vertical stabs look to flimsy for that big of a fighter

Can’t wait until an F-22 shoots one down. . . Or several of them. :smiley:

well if that ever happens we would be in a serious conflict or war with china, not something to look forward, I wonder why they and the russians don’t have the thrust vectoring nozzles?

Lots of rivets on that thing, so it isn’t of composite material / RAM construction. I wonder how stealthy it really is.[/quote]

remember that it’s still just a prototype, so perhaps some of the materials aren’t the final ones intended for production.
