The Soviet fighter is taken by China for the base for a new fifth-generation aircraft

China decided to create a new fighter on the basis of a Soviet airplane.

China is actively developing its military aircraft construction, presenting to the world already two models of fifth generation fighters - Chengdu J-20 and Shenyang J-31. Nevertheless, it is known that the Chinese version of the Shenyang J-31 fighter with vertical take-off and landing is being developed, based on the unique Soviet Yak-141 airplane.

The Soviet fighter Yak-141 was to become one of the most promising deck fighter aircraft with the function of vertical take-off and landing. Nevertheless, despite the uniqueness of this aircraft, it was not possible to finish it, in this connection, the project was closed. Later, the American corporation Lockheed Martin used the project of this aircraft for its own F-35 fighter.

According to the Chinese edition of Sina, the People's Republic of China decided to refine the design of the Soviet aircraft and introduce the technologies used here into a new version of the Shenyang J-31 fighter.

"Soviet designers have worked hard to create their offspring. We plan to finalize this aircraft, and introduce a similar technology into the Shenyang j-31 fighter, making it really promising and successful ", - quotes the developers of the publication "Sina".

Taking into account the information that has appeared, it can be assumed that the PRC has design documentation for the Yak-141 fighter, but there are no details on this.

This stupid stubborn lies about the fact that Yak 141 cursed pindos stole, desperately pressed Chekist-cotton wadding all the forces from the very beginning. All documents on the topic, incl. and they freely disclose one thing: a) the deck Yak 38 developed more than 20 years, but could not get it to fly more than a few circles around the uterus-aircraft carrying cruiser with half the combat load b) Yak 141 was based on 38 for another 15 years, a critical number of engineering and technological tasks have not been resolved, after the crash of the only prototype in operation, the project was shut down c) The KB worked with LM for several months and mostly on one topic - the swivel nozzle (for F35 the fan is completely different goy concept, but with a swiveling nozzle, too), there is no evidence of transfer of documentation on the nozzle. d) Yakovlev's design bureau in the USSR was forever an outsider and the weakest in the implementation of their projects. e) You idiots, first learn how not to shoot down your own planes with your own missiles, and then pizza .. that you have stolen something from your geniuses.
