The fighter, which is unnamed but being developed under the project name "Checkmate," was unveiled at the MAKS-2021 International Aviation and Space Salon in Zhukovsky. The plane was kept in a hangar with the word "Checkmate" written in English, according to AFP.
Well that's troubling. I'm sure democrats will save us though.

Probably a rip off of the F-22.

and again, china and russia can tell everyone in the world they have fighters that compare to like the f22 and everything, but theres A BIG difference in having the systems and being able to actually deploy it into a war zone

we have a massive advantage there. and dont even get me started on this shite that we undoubtedly have but are keeping secret to everyone

Looks like a mash up of an f-22 and an f-35

So we're pretending Russia doesn't do shite like this all of the time and that it's not exactly high quality construction?

I can beat you with a crop duster if my weapons systems are better than yours. what the aircraft looks like or even flies like is irrelevant in todays airspace.
