New J-20 pics from the Chinese Military Review Blog.





It looks like we're following the CSBA's playbook on how to design the military for the future.  I disagree with their vision.  They gut the Army, emphasize the Air Force, make modifications to the Navy (along with cuts) and take the Marine Corps down in size too.

If we're going to follow that (flawed) strategy, then we need a better plane than the F-35.  The J-20 should scare the daylights out of airpower planners.  We need a redesigned and upgraded F-22 if we're going to maintain PARITY.

A deep strike/interdiction turned air superiority platform will not cut it.
