Where on earth did Russia get stealth technology?
If this report is accurate, the Communist Chinese obtained stealth technology from Russia. So now both of them have it, but when the F-22 Raptor was first rolling off the line, we were supposed to have a ten-year head start... the Russians and Chinese, IIRC, were supposed to be more than a decade behind.
How did both enemy powers get it so fast? Who sold it to them? Why haven't they been executed for treason?
And why on earth does the J-20 look so much like a combination of the F-22 and the YF-23, the air superiority fighter design that lost to the F-22? The resemblance is uncanny, at best.
The fact of the matter is that it appears that our technology has been either stolen, or sold, to Russia, who then sold it to China. That's called treason!
No matter how one looks at it, it's difficult to come to any other conclusion. The alternatives are simply far less likely. And then there's the little issue of Occam's Razor...
It's all a little too convenient for the Russians and the Chinese. This matter needs to be investigated to the fullest extent of the power of subpoena which the Republican-controlled United States House of Representatives now has!
Whether this technology was somehow traded or bargained away in some kind of trade deal, or it was outright sold to the Russians and/or the Chinese, directly or indirectly, heads need to roll! We know we can't trust the Obama Regime to do what's best for America's safety and national security, so we must rely on Republicans to investigate this, and then mete out whatever needs to be meted out to discourage such treason in the future, not to mention punish the guilty party (or parties)!
Darrell Issa (D-CA), Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Jason Chaffetz, member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform...what about it? Is this something y'all would be willing to look into?

China Got Stealth Tech From Russia: US Lawmaker
Jan 18 01:46 PM US/Eastern
China got the technology for its first stealth fighter jet from Russia, a senior US lawmaker said Tuesday, one week after the airplane apparently made its maiden flight.
"My understanding is that they built it on information that they received from Russia, from a Russian plane, that they were able to copy," House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon told reporters.
McKeon, a Republican, said he hoped to "hear more" on the issue from Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who was on a visit to Beijing when Chinese state media published photographs of the J-20 fighter in the skies over southwestern China.
According to the reports, which cited witnesses, the next-generation war jet -- the existence of which highlights China's drive to modernize its military -- made a 15-minute test flight before landing.
The lawmaker, who had been asked whether Beijing had obtained the technology needed to build such an advanced fighter from cyber-espionage, also stressed that "China's a concern" for US national security.
"We need to be looking at China, we need to be looking at North Korea, we need to be looking at Iran," said McKeon, who has given a skeptical greeting to Gates' plans for reductions in US military spending.
"That's what really concerns me when I look at the cuts, the potential cuts, that they're talking about for the defense budget. This is not a safe world," said the lawmaker.
just because something "looks" the same as another, doesn't mean they perform the same way.
