CV32 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 From http://www.aviationweek.com/Article.aspx?id=/article-xml/AW_09_24_2012_p28-497666.xml [excerpt] China Unveils Second Stealth FighterBy Bill Sweetman, Richard Fisher, Bradley Perrett Source: Aviation Week & Space Technology September 24, 2012 China's unveiling of a second low-observable (LO) or stealthy fighter, a Shenyang product possibly designated J-31, followed the same pattern as the revelation of the Chengdu J-20 at the end of 2010: Photos were leaked via the Internet on the eve of a U.S. defense secretary's visit to Beijing. The not-too-subtle message, as the U.S. follows through with its plans to shift air and naval forces to the Pacific region, is that China's own military modernization is not slowing down.
