Interesting why Photoshop a Mig-29 into PLAAF markings... ho hum...

[SayethWhaaaa 245]

I agree, but some people get a kick out of it. Just do a search, I'm sure you'll find tonnes of PS images of aircraft in different markings of air forces that don't use them. There are a special group of people who simply LOVE making 'real' photos of IRIAF F-16s for example. More often than not it's to start BS rumors and exaggerating threats (like with the Jerusalem Post in recent years reporting that 250 Su-27s, then Su-30s, now J-10s being sold to the IRIAF) or it's just conspiracy theorist crap.

 

Case in point:

Super secret "H-8" Bomber of the PLAAF... or a B-2??

 

(Considering the H-8 Bomber was supposed to be an enlarged H-6 with podded engines and was a design that was canceled in early 70s).

 

 

I mean, I've heard of the PLAAF evaluating the Mig-29. They've done that with quite a few Russian aircraft, the Mig-23 and Mig-31 spring to mind. But I've never seen concrete proof...

The use of nanotechnology cracked me up.

[Slartibartfast 153]

Oooo now that picky looks familiar... err hang on that looks suspicously like a design for the B-2 going back oooo about 30 years... and as to the Nanotechnology next they will say it has a plasma coating... ooops been reading too much Dale Brown again...

The use of nanotechnology cracked me up.

 

Why?

Check the bottom of the engine and the offset in the tail section...looks like this MiG has had finer days...

[SayethWhaaaa 245]

Why?

 

Because currently, there are no military applications of nanotechnology and stealth currently and won't be for quite some time.
