Russia rips China’s J-15 fighter jet, which Beijing stole from Moscow

Russian state-owned media outlet Sputnik recently ripped China’s J-15 fighter jet, which Beijing stole from Moscow, for its many failings.

The J-15 is too heavy to operate efficiently from carriers, has problems with its flight control systems, has crashed several times, and more, Sputnik reported.

But as The National Interest point out, the charges as a whole are also rather ironic, given that the former Soviet Union regularly copied Western military concepts and products.
