Chinese Air Force revealed publicly on TV that China's 5th Generation sealth fighter jet will take maiden flight very soon and the R&D and construction is very busy underway and said the fighter jet will enter service in 8 to 10 years time. I for one will go out on a limb and say this thing will be flying before Russia's PAK-FA 5th Generation does or these two aircrafts will probably hit IOC at relatively the same time. If someone would have told me even back in yr 2000 that the Chinese would introduce a legitimate indigenous 5th Gen fighter at the same time as the Russians, I would have laughed so hard. This is a seriou major technological achievement for China. -clapclap-clapclap-clapclap- http://mil.news.sina.com.cn/2009-11-09/1140573125.html
