F35 vs. A10?

Those canards are not stealth. It's not a stealth fighter, it's fake.

Nonsense.

There's no way those canards are stealth, it's fake news.

What makes you believe canards are somehow stealth killers but stabilizers are not? LOL

They are literally just moving control surfaces to a different position on the aircraft.

One of the stealthiest prototypes ever made (publicly):

There's no way those canards can be stealth, it's a flying Potemkin Village, wise up.

You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about again.

Any aircraft requires control surfaces for pitch and roll. When you put those control surfaces in the tail, they are called stabilizers. When you put them forward of the wings, they are called canards. There are various reasons for doing one or the other, but stealth is not one of them. If the canard breaks stealth, then so does the stabilizer.

Everything the Chinese put out is fake, J-31 too.

They are just copying the look of the American 5Gen, but it's not real.

China is a Potemkin Village, to include their cheap knock off military hardware.

[Speaker to Animals]

The X-36 actually reduced the RCS by using a canard instead of stabilizers.

The Chinese probably went with the canard for a similar reason.

[Smitty-48]

The canards on X-36 are totally different, the canards on J-20 are not stealth.

Of all the lame anti-F-35 arguments, "ZOMG J-20!" might just be the lamest.
