FoxNews.com - China's New Fighter Jet Could Pose 'Terrifying' Challenge to U.S. Fleet
While the Pentagon downplays Chinas rollout this week of what appears to be a jet fighter designed using sophisticated stealth technology, military experts are warning that the aircraft reportedly capable of besting Americas F-22 in speed and maneuverability could pose the greatest threat yet to U.S. air superiority.
Decorated Navy fighter pilot Matthew Whiz Buckley, a Top Gun graduate of the Navy Fighter Weapons School who flew 44 combat missions over Iraq, says, Its probably leaps and bounds above where we are, and thats terrifying.
As a former Navy fighter pilot, going up against something thats stealthy, highly maneuverable and with electronic systems more capable than mine -- thatll keep me up at night, said Buckley, now chief strategy officer at Fox3 Options LLC.
Buckley said photos posted online of the radar-evading Chengdu J-20 jet fighter lead him to believe the aircraft has great stealth capabilities, based on what appears to be a bumpy exterior possibly housing stealth technology, and the lack of external components, such as a gas tank and missiles.
Of course, we know what happened next.
