LMAO

Considering the country's who used the F-5E, its highly unlikely that a Chinese MiG shot one down, unless they shot down one of their own.

I have to agree, it looks suspiciously like the F-5E's from the movie Top Gun.

Re: china inserts "top gun" footage in news report

if you read the text, they mention them passing a story they picked up from "The Onion" and using the simpsons as a real reference in a story

The seemingly doctored footage has been removed from CCTV's website. But Real Time China Report notes that Chinese media has in the past been caught red-handed lifting fictional U.S. material in news reports.


"In 2002, the popular Beijing Evening News tabloid translated and published as genuine a satirical news article by The Onion about U.S. Congress threatening to leave Washington D.C. unless the city built them a new building with a retractable roof," writes Josh Chin. "Five years later, the state-run Xinhua news agency infamously used an x-ray image of Homer Simpson's head to illustrate a story about the discovery of a genetic link to multiple sclerosis."

so who knows if that stealth fighter is real or just a mock up. i cant recall if they flew it or taxi tested it??
