[quote::) 1241147:MV8xMzM1NjM0XzIxOTU5MzIyX0IzRkMxMjJC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1196052] the J-20 is Lockheed's wet dream because now they can pitch yet another generation of pointless archaic expensive jet fighters [/quote] Naval Budget Adjusted for Stealthy Adversaries Once upon a time, as the FY 1964 defense appropriations bill was making its way through congress, there came a somber moment when it looked as if the U.S. Navy might actually receive a lesser increase in its appropriation than its hated Air Force rival. Then, just when all seemed dark, a Soviet November class nuclear attack submarine surfaced a few miles off San Francisco Bay. Instantly, the situation on the battlefield was reversed, as press and congress urged emergency budgetary measures to ward off the looming threat of the Red Navy. Queried at a Pentagon press conference as to the convenient coincidence of the sub’s appearance, the chief navy flack simply smiled and said “I don’t know; we just got lucky I guess.” russian november class submarine Russian November Class Submarine For much of the 1990s, luck deserted our military industrial complex. Its formerly reliable Soviet partners ceased to play their part, leaving the Pentagon to scour the world for a “peer or near peer competitor.” There were hopes, always futile, for a reconstituted USSR, or perhaps an emergent China (always popular on the right in those days) which was followed by the putative menace of regional competitors, (Iran, Iraq, North Korea) combining against America. Help finally came from the CIA’s former Jihadi ally Osama bin Ladin, whose 9/11 attack sufficiently traumatized society to allow the Pentagon to spend any money it wanted on anything it wanted, relevant to the task at hand or not. Even so, old hands yearned for the days when a military spend-up could be justified by whatever the other guy was up to, especially with ominous talk circulating in Washington about restraining (not cutting of course) the defense budget. Now, just like that long-ago Soviet sub captain, the Chinese have stepped up to the plate... ...Unfortunately, while some may applaud a Chinese initiative to spend the money that Wal-Mart sends them on a weapon of dubious utility, we too may end up paying a price, as the “threat” of China’s J-20 is invoked to justify further increases in our own obscenely bloated defense budget. http://www.darkgovernment.com/news/naval-budget-adjusted-for-stealthy-adversaries/ [/quote]

Here is a Google-Translated article from a German blog saying Chinese agents might have collected F-117 wreckage in 1999 in Serbia when it was shot down.
Chinese stealth technology came from the Americans
n 11 January completed the first Chinese fighter jet with stealth technology its maiden flight and was presented to the world with it. The aircraft named Chengdu J-20 shows the great progress which the Chinese in modern weapons technology have made.
The question which many military experts will now that came from the know-how to protect yourself from the enemy's radar "invisible" to do? The answer could be, indirectly by the Americans themselves, because during the Balkan war of 1999, the Serbs shot down an American F-117 Nighthawk and the Chinese came by the debris ran to analyze and "reverse engineering" rebuild.
