China's counterstealth weapons - Wendell Minnick

China’s top air-to-air missile research institute has invested considerable effort in designing such missiles.
New imagery available on Google Earth indicates China built a full-scale mock-up of the now-retired F-117 stealth fighter at the Luoyang Optoelectro Technology Development Center (LOEC) in Henan province. (View the mock F-117 at 34 degrees 39 minutes and 44.24 seconds north latitude and 112 degrees 25 minutes and 45.19 seconds east longitude.)
A former U.S. defense attaché based in Beijing said the appearance of the mock-up is not surprising, noting that China has also built mock-ups of the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II for study.In Minnick's article more on the question whether U.S. Air Force F-117 stealth fighter downed in Serbia in 1999 is in Chinese hands.
