The first clear pictures of what appears to be a Chinese stealth fighter prototype have been published online, highlighting China's military buildup just days before U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates heads to Beijing to try to repair defense ties.

The photographs, published on several unofficial Chinese and foreign defense-related websites, appear to show a J-20 prototype making a high-speed taxi test—usually one of the last steps before an aircraft makes its first flight—according to experts on aviation and China's military.

The exact origin of the photographs is unclear, although they appear to have been taken by Chinese enthusiasts from the grounds of or around the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute in western China, where the J-20 is in development. A few experts have suggested that the pictured aircraft is a mock-up, rather than a functioning prototype of a stealth fighter—so-called because it is designed to evade detection by radar and infrared sensors.

But many more experts say they believe the pictures and the aircraft are authentic, giving the strongest indication yet that Beijing is making faster-than-expected progress in developing a rival to the U.S. F-22—the world's only fully operational stealth fighter.

China's defense ministry and air force couldn't be reached to comment on the latest photos. Even without official confirmation, however, the photographs are likely to bolster concerns among U.S. officials and politicians about China's military modernization, which also includes the imminent deployment of its first aircraft carrier and "carrier-killer" antiship ballistic missiles.

Such weapons systems would significantly enhance China's ability to hinder U.S. intervention in a conflict over Taiwan, and challenge U.S. naval supremacy in the Asia-Pacific region.

Look at how thin those wings are, I call bullshit.  At the same time though, I have not a clue why they would worry about making the world think they have a working prototype.

Well, it is a canard and looks much bigger than the f-22.  Strange that they label a taxiway " B " in china.  Maybe they use Engrish Arot.

I believe English is sort of the de facto language for aviation, so runways always use the English alphabet.

I know it is in FSX, but have never paid attention while overseas.  Maybe this is how sesame street is funded.  They charge China for using the letter B and thus the letter B is their sponsor.

So is it you trying to be like 11 Bravo or is 11 Bravo trying to be like you. I am really curious who is the bitch, or catcher as they say in the game forum service.

Pro-tip for you: people that have been in combat generally don't like talking about it. You'd know this, but well...

You brought it upon yourself. You come back out of nowhere ranting and raving about gays being in the military while using your own military experience as some kind of foundation for your argument. You're the one that got butthurt when we called you out as a shitbag homophobe. You can blame that on us being dicks or you can take a look in the mirror and recognize that you brought it upon yourself with your unsolicited and, frankly, retarded opinion. The only thing the repeal of DADT changed is that gay people no longer have to worry about getting chaptered if they are found out. There were always and will always be gay people in the military. You probably showered next to gay people while you were in the service and didn't even know it. Does that bother you? It certainly doesn't bother me. I never got hit on or was made to feel uncomfortable.

What you have are deep seated issues. You've chosen gay people to be your own personal whipping boy to prop up your self esteem. Some people choose Mexicans, others choose blacks, yet others choose rednecks or hipsters or atheists. Whatever, the point is that you need to work on your own issues before you start picking on people that don't have any impact whatsoever on your life. It takes a real man to not kick the people he perceives to be lower than him on the social ladder. But hey, when you're on the bottom like you undoubtedly are, you gotta take your shots where you can get them in, right?

So that is your Dr. Phil explanation to people that don't agree with you.  Thanks, but as I originally said the Military isn't there to be a social experiment and being on a navy ship should be a dream job for gays and will attract a lot of them making the navy a kind of gay carnival cruise line.  So try to process that in your small liberal nugget, if you can't start calling me gay and insult me like you did last time.  Sorry to have hurt your feelings by saying the military was pussified under clinton with low stress basic but it is a fact that Bill " I loath the Military " Clinton hated the military and that is why all the good officers resigned shortly after he was elected and they saw the crap he was doing.

Lastly, I have no problem with gays.  Just because I am able to look at issues from all angle and decide " wtf does the MILITARY gain from introducing homosexuality " and rationally conclude " nothing, but it will distract and hamper its mission " does not mean I some how fear gays or wish them ill.  Already having young women around a bunch of 18-22 year old guys stuck in a foreign country causes enough issues, why would the military need a group of its soldiers seeking out the ones with the same sexual orientation to have relations happening in the ranks during a time of war?  You are so fucking retarded, not because you disagree, because you can't handle others opinions.

Uncle was a Scout.  Japanese brutality.  Beheadings.  Executing civilian authorities.  Defense of Corregidor.  Bataan Death March.  But especially, the brutal defense at Bataan.

I know one who was in Europe during the war and in the Philippines after the war. He told me a story about how he killed a teenager at night and another one about two guys who fell off a cliff.

My grandfather was in Korea, he doesn't talk about it though. It probably depends on the person.

don't argue with Dolt, he was in Iraq and knows all about military subjects.  If you stroke his ego he will grace you with a story about riding in the back of a 2.5 ton truck through Iraq.

No, Dolt says that all war veterans are the same and he was there.  People can't be different.

on a side not, Korea was the harshest modern war for the US military.  Talk about bleak odds for our troops, they got tore up all through that war, from start to finish.

Why is it so difficult for you to process the fact that gays have always served in the military? All DADT did was make it a chapterable offense to be out of the closet. Repealing it won't change anything. Gays aren't suddenly going to start adorning their uniforms with pink ribbons. They'll simply go about their business professionally like they've always done. They just won't have to live in fear of being outed and losing their job because of it.

Lotta your view of gays in the military is really off. They're not a bunch of queens with high pitched voices dancing around in pink tutus. They're like normal guys but gay. They don't look at the other guys in any different way either. It'll turn up in a conversation from time to time and that's about it.

There is no effect on the group as a whole, it's discipline or how it functions. Your infantry unit will still be your regular infantry unit with the only difference being that people can now say they're gay without getting fired.

It does depend on the person. I asked my father how he earned his bronze star one time and he wouldn't tell me. A few weeks later he called me on the phone drunk and blubbering to tell me that he earned it for saving his platoon from an ambush and that it required him to kill two kids with AKs. That's stuff you never forget and it's not something most people care to share with civilians. I never talk about my time in the military except with other vets simply because they have no way of understanding anything. You just get blank stares and/or silly questions.

Well, that and now Sgt. Davis has Pvt. Parts as his boy toy during field missions.  I'm a guy, I have been horny, I just wasn't gay.  You know what, when I was in the field and a woman was around we were all hitting on it because we were horny.  If you replaced half the guys in my company with women we would have all got hooked up during field missions.  Not a good thing, and the mission takes a back seat when your girlfriend is being shot at.  So.......  where is my thinking wrong on this?
