MiG’s statement follows claims in the Russian and foreign press last week that China’s J-20, unveiled over six months ago, is based on technology and components from the Russian Mikoyan Article 1.44, a stealth technology demonstrator aircraft, development of which was suspended. Some analysts say the aircraft have close similarities. “The back end of the J-20 looks awfully like the 1.44, as does the overall layout with delta canards,” said Douglas Barrie, an air warfare specialist at the London-based International Institute of Strategic Studies.
