Comments by "Thetequilashooter1" (@Thetequilashooter1) on "China's So-Called Sixth-Generation Fighter Jet Makes Maiden Flight, But It’s Still Ridiculed" video.
@waldentaylor386 That’s total nonsense. The J-20 has horrible maneuverability, and the Su-57 is questioned by experts if it truly meets the definition of a 5th gen fighter. The Russians think very little of the J-20, and likewise the Chinese have mocked the Su-57. The F-35 is far superior to both aircraft when it comes to stealth, situational awareness, sensor fusion, radars, defensive countermeasures, etc. And most importantly, the F-35 has seen combat deep inside enemy territory,while the Su-57 and J-20 haven’t.

The US is not currently mass production NGAD. We’re looking into it and trying to decide if it’s worth the price. The USN is still going forward though with their plans for a 6th gen fighter.

@ The US has actually reduced its amount of rare earth metals that it imports from China so that it’s not so dependent on it. It’s been getting larger quantities from Australia, Japan and South Korea. The US also produces some of its own, which it plans to greatly expand in the next couple years. There doesn’t seem to be any alarm at the moment so it could mean that there is a stockpile in place, along with the imports from the other countries mentioned above. Time will tell.

@waldentaylor386 What’s the rush? Neither China or Russia can make decent 5th gen fighters anyway.

@kamsunleong6648 I guess you better go and tell all the nations that have lined up to buy it that they’re all making a big mistake and that you know better than their experts! 😂

@ Not at all. The F-15 was designed from the US experiences in the Vietnam war, and the F-15’s development began before the MiG-25 was widely known in the West. The two aircraft are complete different. While the F-15 shares some visual similarities, its design prioritizes maneuverability and sustained combat performance, whereas the MiG-25 prioritized raw speed at the expense of agility. Any visual similarities are from US past experience with other fighters, including the A-5 Vigilante, which existed before the Mig-25. Keep in mind that it’s Russia that has the long history of copying, and not the US.

@waldentaylor386 Actually you can’t cope with reality that China makes 💩 products. There’s a reason why China is always behind. You can’t be ahead when you’re always copying from others. China copies everything you can imagine, and not just military hardware either but in the domestic market, too. What is hilarious is you’re here on US owned YouTube bragging about China, while you’re using the internet and routers, both discovered by the US, and you’re using a phone or computer that has US technology in the microchips that are embedded into them.

@ It’s been making them since 2021. That’s not a long time

@thefallenboombird9289 The Mig-25 was actually heavily influenced by the US A-5 Vigilante. There was a twin tailed prototype version, but due to the USN’s familiarity with single tailed fighters at the time they chose the single tail over the twin tailed version.

@ If you can’t see the strong similarities between the J-35 and the F-35, then you’re the one who needs glasses. You sound butthurt that China is well known for copying. It’s not just military equipment but civilian products as well.

@ You won’t find one credible source that agrees with you. The Russians themselves don’t think much about the J-20. The Su-57 is better at maneuvering at lower speeds, but the J-20 isn’t maneuverability at all. Many experts actually question if the Su-57 is 5th generation, but instead is 4.5+. And you do realize that China’s own media mocked the shoddy workmanship in the Su-57 when it visited for an air show? The J-20’s instant and sustained turn rates are horrible. The J-20 doesn’t even have guns. It’s obviously not intended for dogfighting. The F-35 has many more characteristics of a 5th generation fighter. Its RCS is significantly smaller than both the J-20 and Su-35, and its situational awareness, sensor fusion, radars are all superior. The F-35 also has the single most powerful jet fighter engine in the world. Plus, the F-35 has performed deep strike missions into Syria and Yemen. Neither the Su-57 or j-20 have done anything near what the F-35 has achieved. In fact, in testing the F-35 was linked to a GLMRS missile to strike a naval target. It’s also been linked to a SM-6 to take out a cruise missile. Neither China or Russia have anything near its capabilities.

@waldentaylor386 Just so that you know that even the Russians don’t think much about the J-20. “Russia has generally expressed a lack of impression with China's J-20 fighter jet, often claiming that their own stealth fighter, the Su-57, is superior in terms of technology and capabilities, with Russian pilots and military experts criticizing the J-20 as potentially lacking in key areas like maneuverability and overall design sophistication; some even suggest the J-20 borrows heavily from past Russian designs, raising concerns about intellectual property infringement. Russian military officials frequently state that the Su-57 is more advanced than the J-20, highlighting its potential for better stealth capabilities and combat performance. Some Russian experts have pointed out visual similarities between the J-20 and older Russian prototypes like the MiG-1.44, suggesting potential copying of design elements.”

@kamsunleong6648 $80 mil/plane isn’t bad for the best stealth fighter on the market. The issue that you mentioned has been fixed. All aircraft have their own issues at one time or another. At least it’s not like the Su-57 that Russia is afraid to use anywhere near Ukrainian strongholds, or like the J-20 that’s as big as a house and turns like it’s a bomber. The plane doesn’t even have guns so you know very well that it’s not meant for dogfighting.

@thefallenboombird9289 The invention of the airplane was by Wilbur and Orville Wright. Why does it matter?

@ The Mig-25. What’s your point?

@ Do a Google search for Twin-tailed prototype A-5 Vigilante, and then you’ll see how strikingly the Mig-25 looks like it.

@thefallenboombird9289 Do a Google images search for Twin-tailed prototype A-5 Vigilante, and you can see the striking resemblance of the Mig-25 to it.

@ Just do a Google image search for Twin tailed prototype A-5 Vigilante, and you’ll see how strikingly similar the Mig-25 looks to it. The US learns from its own experience. It doesn’t need to copy from Russia. Russia’s copied from the US for many decades, not vice versa. Both China and Russia have a history of copying, and it’s part of their culture. Read up about the Mitrokhin Archives. Notes in them claim that more than half of the Soviet Union's advanced weapons were based on US designs, and that the KGB had spies in place in almost all US defense contractor facilities.

@thefallenboombird9289 Just do a search for Twin-tailed Prototype of A-5 Vigilante, and you’ll see for yourself that it was Russia that copied the design to create the Mig-25. There are more striking similarities between it and the Mig-25 than there are between the Mig-25 and the F-15. You’re having a hard time accepting that it’s Russia that has the long history of copying. The US doesn’t need to copy from Russia when it has its own history to learn from. Both Russia and China have long histories of copying. It’s part of their culture. Even back in the era of the Soviet Union it was that way. Read up about the notes in the Mitrokhin Archive which state that more than half of the Soviet Union's advanced weapons were based on US designs, and that the KGB had spies in place in almost all US defense contractor facilities.

@thefallenboombird9289 Have you even searched what the Twin tailed prototype of the A-5 Vigilante looks like?

@thefallenboombird9289 YouTube keeps deleting my comments. Search the A-5 that I mentioned earlier and you can see for yourself.

@thefallenboombird9289 It’s Russia that has the long history of copying, not the US. Even back to the days of the USSR notes in the Mitrokhin Archive claim that more than half of the Soviet Union's advanced weapons were based on US designs. Look at the twin tailed prototype version of the A-5, and you’ll see for yourself.

@thefallenboombird9289 You’re kidding, right? The Mig-25 looks like the prototype of the Twin-tailed A-5 a lot more than the F-15 looks like the Mig-25. In fact, both the Mig-25 and A-5 had the same purpose, to fly very fast and straight. Be honest with yourself. The only reason why you have your position is because you’re biased against the U.S. Any neutral person who knew all the facts wouldn’t think twice that the F-15 copied the Mig. Just look at Russia’s past record and it’s an easy conclusion. The Russians have copied the B-29 to make the Tu-4; they copied the a-bomb: the proximity fuse, sidewinder missile, the Christie suspension system for the T-34, guidance systems, the X-51 Waverider to make the Zircon, and even the jet engine from the British. Those are things that I can think of without doing any additional research. The US doesn’t copy from Russia. Russia has never had the same manufacturing capacity to build high tech equipment on mass scale efficiently. It still plagues it today, and it’s why so much of Russia’s more advanced weapons have western parts.

@thefallenboombird9289 “The MiG-25P design that emerged had little obviously in common with the experimental scaled-up MiG-21 designs that had preceded it. The MiG-25P actually seemed to be more influenced by the pioneering US North American A-5 Vigilante shipboard strike and reconnaissance aircraft. Like the Vigilante, the MiG-25P had twin engines on each side of the fuselage, with wedge-style engine intakes featuring variable inlets using hinged ramps; thin, high-mounted swept wings; an all-moving tailplane; and a clamshell canopy between the inlets, with a nonexistent rearward view.” Source: Air Vectors, Mig-25 Foxbat

@ Cope harder. From Defense News, September 2020: The U.S. Air Force has secretly designed, built and flown at least one prototype of its enigmatic next-generation fighter jet, the service’s top acquisition official confirmed to Defense News on Sept. 14. “We’ve already built and flown a full-scale flight demonstrator in the real world, and we broke records in doing it,” Will Roper told Defense News in an exclusive interview ahead of the Air Force Association’s Air, Space and Cyber Conference. “We are ready to go and build the next-generation aircraft in a way that has never happened before.”

@ The prototype broke world records, and it took little time to produce. It’s now just trying to figure out if the costs are worth it. There’s no rush as neither Russia or China can even build a decent 5th generation fighter anyway.
