I wouldnt put much stock in Chinas 5th gen fighter, from what I've seen most experts believe that their first attempt at a 5th gen fighter is probably a 4th gen fighter with a really cool body kit. It also looks like they lack the ability to replicate Russian 5th gen radar reflective materials, and engines. They are expected to be using a 20 year old engine design in this model, which would struggle to be competative with our 4th gen fighters. This aircraft, from what people are reporting should be slightly less capable than our f-14, f-15, f-16 and f-18.

I used to live in the approach path of an AFB - C-5's and B-52's flying over at like 100 feet suck when you're trying to sleep off a hangover

I used to sleep right through the KC-135R's though

I remember sleeping on the fender of my tank on the boresight line at brookhaven range while other tanks were firing not fifty feet away in bp1. Your body will do what its gotta do

I lived directly under the approach path of NAS Oceana and loved hearing and feeling the planes come down over us.

I used to be able to sleep through the hydraulic pump whine too vic wonders why I'm deaf.

This kids quick but I used to be faster. Id chalk that up more to the style though. Over the shoulder flip beats the turn style any day

Dumb question time. Is it firing the casing too because what's falling out doesn't look like a whole casing?

Yup

On the 120 the casing material burns up when its fired. The metal aftcap is all you get back. Much less junk cluttering the turret that way
