A photo of China's new stealth fighter - the Chengdu J-20 (NATO Firefang) started popping up on internet aviation forums today. The source is unknown.
I find it very interesting that it almost matches publicly released artist's renderings in angle and lighting.
In any event, the illustration gives a better view of what the pixelated photo doesn't.
So is it the real deal? Have the Chinese cracked the code for stealth technology - or is the J-20 all show and no go?
I'm sure the Pentagon is wondering just that.
