SO I bet you read the last description for my video and now am looking here for a easter egg, something below the line that you can tell your friends at work or school. But here's the thing. They won't believe you! You will read this and then as your sleeping (or lack of sleep because your so excited) I'll edit this out and they will think your nuts.
"Found and Explained didn't write you a personal note in the description, are you crazy?" but here's the rub, I will know, and I will know that you know I know, and that is ever so more sweeter. But hey, don't tell anyone else, this can be our little secret ;)
The rest is just for the algorithm to boost the video over all those other videos :)
USA, Europe and Russia have been dominating the world of aviation for decades, but in recent years, a new competitor has emerged.
meet the new power from the east!
The Chinese 5th gen jet has already entered operational service and it´s numbers are rapidly growing.
But is it any good or just a cheap copy of its counterparts?
Stick with me today to get answers to why the J-20 might be… not what you think.
The J-20 story begins with the J-XX program back in the 90s.
It was, at the time, a very ambitious program started by Chinese government to procure next gen fighter.
Why was it very ambitious you may ask?
Well, to put it simply, China was so far from actually successfully building this kind of aircraft
Namely because:
They didn’t have the know how
They didn´t have the engines
And definitely no experience with stealth technology
The only thing they had was vast experience with copying soviet aircraft during the cold war and that age old essential ingrenent - money. But the fall of their long term ally – the soviet union, would prove to be detrimental for their success.
The first step towards new fighter was acquiring almost all top tier Soviet tech from the new formed, desperate for cash, Russian and Ukrainian governments during the 90s and early 2000s.
The second was huge data leak of F-35 documentation orchestrated by Chinese hackers back in 2009.
To sum it up, the Chinese gathered the most they could and planned to build their new jet with experiences from both sides. A perfect blend of east and west.
After being chosen over Shenyang in 2008, Chengdu aircraft corporation unveiled their first prototype in 2011.
But the world welcomed it with a lot of skepticism.
