Editor's notes: what follows in this post are some fairly random notes and a picture album depicting the military build-up of the Chinese Air Force. Over the past 30 years, China has increased the size of its Navy by 5 fold and -- as it turns out -- has been involved in a secret build-up of its military air force. Obama and the idiot Liberal Leadership of this country (that would be the U.S.) have apparently decided to ignore this military build-up and the recent (April '09) cyber invasion of our military computer corp, as they turn to China for debt relief.
Think about these circumstances: a trade deficit with China, our second biggest lender - financing nearly 1 trillion dollars of our debt, a unilateral deletion of our missile defense systems by Mr. Peace At Any Price Obama, and the continuing Chinese enterprise of spying out our military secrets - and what do we have? Ahhh, the really scary answer is this: we don't really know. But that's not the scariest part. You might say, what could be frightening than that !!?? And our answer would be this: the fact that Obama doesn't know. While he is busy "transforming America," he is ignoring serious military threats on several fronts, not the least of which is China. How many times have we said this: before he gets out of our White House, he just might get us all killed. Anyway, we give you a non-linear overview of the growing Chinese military threat. Have a nice day --- jds.
China’s Secret Fleet of Stealth Fighters
Over the last several years, Midknight Review has followed the military build-up that is going on in China. In 1997, our Naval Intelligence office put out a belief that China was developing their 4th generation of stealth fighters !!
In December, 2008, the highly respected “Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft” went on record saying that China has been developing a “heavyweight” stealth fighter for many years.In 2005, a former Northrup B2 design engineer was arrested for selling highly classified data about the B-2 and its stealth design to China. Noshir Gowadia (a spy for China - undercover for 29 years !!) has admitted to the charges. The B-2 has been studied intensively by those designing fighters and bombers for China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). Gowadia began working for the Chinese back in 1976 - during the Jimmy Carter administration and his anti-military policies. t
In April 2009, under the Obama Administration, China cyberwar experts attacked the US Department of Defense computers that hold classified data about the F-35 program. Apparently a great deal of data was downloaded, although theft of information in the highest security classification was not acknowledged.
At least two Chinese stealth fighters are farther along in development than anyone would have imagined six months ago. The most recent of these stealth fighter photographs was published on November 25, 2009 on a website that has high level expertise in all matters relating to Chinese military aviation.

The photo below of a Shenyang JXX / J14 in a hanger has been available for at least two years and has been widely criticized. It is described as either a prototype J-14 or J-15 stealth fighter, but it could also be an altered photograph of an existing Chinese heavyweight fighter.

Unveiled in 2002, the Shenyang J-11B is a very advanced, multi-role attack fighter with Chinese-made avionics and some degree of reduced radar cross section (stealth) – ideal for trying out new ideas about increased stealth. Since 2006, it has been a testbed for the Chinese FWS-10A ‘TaiHang’ turbofan engine. The FWS-10A is similar to the Russian AL-31F, and is a candidate for next generation stealth aircraft propulsion.
The J-15 is expected to be stationed on the Varyag aircraft carrier, now in the last stages of fitting out in Dalian. The Russian AL-31F, an advanced and proven turbofan engine, is the first choice for a power plant. The American fighter that most closely resembles what little we know about the J-15 is the F/A-18C ‘Super Hornet’. Latest news from China states that the J-15 made its maiden flight on August 31, 2009.
A second ‘new’ stealth fighter – the J-20 – seems to be in development and we know even less about it than the J-15. Russia remains essential for important features: reduction of radar cross section and the best of the advanced turbofan engines. The J-10B fighter is used as a testbed for many J-20 systems. A full scale model of the J-20 may have been completed in 2009. The maiden flight for the J-20 is scheduled for sometime in 2012 with production and combat readiness set for 2015.

This concept is often described as an Xian-H6i which is an odd identification. All versions of the Xian H6 bomber series are designed with an earlier generation, ‘classic’ long narrow fuselage that has no flying wing characteristics.

A trillion dollars + will be spent on the F-35 program over the course of a number of years. The continuing development of U.S. military fighter aircraft is essential in view of the Chinese push for military parity with the U.S. - something Midknight Review believes is more of a reality than we are being told. In contrast to this necessity, we have a President who is a dedicated and radicalized Leftist.
As such, is fully committed to the dumbing down of our military. With the growing financial demands of ObamaCare, soon to become a syetemic aspect of Federal function, the military budget will come under increasing attack from the Marxist/Socialist Left in spite of the fact that China is the new player in an evolving cold war circumstance - jds.
