why the fuck do all of china's newest planes have the same number designation as american planes, like 35, 16, etc? some even have the same letter suffix after the number
couldn't they have changed the answers a bit to make it look like they didn't copy their homework?

>>64007739 (OP)
If I were the chinks I would have done one number bigger like J36 and J16 just for shits and giggles

>>64007739 (OP)
It's so their jets can live vicariously through the F-35 or F-16. It conditions the uninformed reader into thinking the respective chinaplanes are in the same league.

>>64007739 (OP)
Except that their latest planes are the J-50 and J-36 though

>>64007753
Those were made up by reporters though.

j-35 is obviously a shit post.

>>64007782
based on the serial number 36011

>>64007739 (OP)
insecurity, mostly.
same reason why russoids came up with a fake NATO callsign that isn't a callsign NATO uses for their gay new cardboard mockup, calling it the "checkmate" because they are literally toddlers and this is the most badass behaviour they think to come up with.

i wonder how many times you're going to spam these gifs before you figure people just aren't implessed by these bodykits.

>>64007739 (OP)
Their prototypes seems to use (plane number)(serial number). The planes in service have different numeration.

>>64007739 (OP)
Nationwide inferiority complex.

>>64007739 (OP)
If you pay attention, they do it for the western consumers. The actual designation is in Chinese. Duh.

>>64007739 (OP)
To make you assume it's just as good as the F-counterpart, and not look closer

>>64008408
>western consumers
what western consumers? and for what purpose?

because they actually looked up to the US and tried to emulate our CLAIMED technical achievement.
That is, until the fake engine scandal.

China is basically and extremely advanced Cargo Cult culture.

>>64009406
Criminally underrated.

>>64007753
These are prototypes and tech demonstrators, they were nowhere close to even being considered for adoption. This is the Chinese experimenting with new technology.

>>64007739 (OP)
Because they are trying to signal that they are equal to what America has produced. And building on that, that is why they called it the J-36 as they felt this was the iterative improvement on the F-35. And I think that is also part of the reason America went with the F-47. Most people think its because of Trump, but I bet its also because its to say "this isn't just the next iteration, is a generational step" but incrementing not just the first digit but the second as well.

To trick old ladies into buying them for their grandson's airforce

>>64009674
>J-36
That isn't an official designation, and the real will be JH-something.
Stop conflating the speculation of outsiders, mostly from the west with the Chinese MIC, dumbfuck.

>>64009691
>Since the aircraft's serial number (36011) begins with '36,' following the People's Liberation Army Air Force convention, this model was presumably designated as J-36.
Bro, come on. If you want to disagree with me, that's fine, I am in no way self-assured of there being no other explanations. But lets not pretend that its an unreasonable supposition on my part.

>>64009861
At least say JH-36...

>36·011
Is that ok for you? 11 airframes?

>>64009871
>At least say JH-36...
Why? That's just an unofficial and does not have the public consensus behind it. If you are going to harp on me for it, why should I engage in it for your benefit under even more tenuous circumstances?

>>64009893
It's their only stealth program in development they previously announced. Unlike the tiny stealth drones for their intelligence services that are tested in their desert.
>JH-XX
>In 2016, People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) general Ma Xiaotian announced that China was developing a new type of long-range bomber on the air force's open day.

If you can show a different stealth project currently in development then post it, AFAIK right know it's only the JH-XX, besides the Shenyang J-35 being accepted into service after years of being just a private venture. They aren't particularly secretive about flying aircrafts that will be the backbone of the PLAAF. Unlike their drones for intel that are tested on the desert.

>>64009916
I don't have to show anything. You are speculating, no matter how well founded you feel it to be. So, again: Why would I speculate on your behalf when you jumped on me for doing the same a moment ago?

>>64009953
Because the only retards using J instead of JH/H/Unknown are the the "6th generation" bait fags in an attempt to get more funds instead of using Mark 36, X-36 or just 36.
As I said, from the Chinese side in question the only public ongoing project they have is the stealth bomber/strike aircraft H/JH that for some reason the usual "whele is the H-20 chang?" memory holed...

>>64009406
amazing what relying on america does to a country

>>64009406
GCAP? You mean literally the one 6th gen program that is on track and not overbudget?

You mean the schizo fantasy you keep peddling in every thread because you’re an insecure contrarian who got mindfucked by propaganda?

>>64011817
We don’t have any propaganda numbers though, that’s exclusively a you thing, chinkmutt.
