Chinese miracle based on moth-eaten stealth technology

China has recently tested its stealth fighter jet. The tests went well, although a question remains as to why Chinese engineers still use the previously popular technology. The stealth technology has been repeatedly proved ineffective experimentally.

It has long been known that the aircraft survivability in combat can be provided not only through armored plates installed on the body of the aircraft.
