The Wall Street Journal has pictures of the secret new fighter jet China is said to be developing. The photos, which were posted on “several unofficial Chinese and foreign defense-related websites,” show the plane doing a high-speed taxi test. According to experts that’s one of the last stages of testing. Currently, the US is the only country to own an employable stealth fighter. Military experts warn that the photos indicate China’s “rapid progress in developing a capability to produce advanced weapons,” a situation that could dramatically change the balance of power in Asia.
