LCA is a big joke. If it worked, you wouldn't be buying the Rafale and everything else. Pathetic.

The J-11 also use composite materials. If a country has the technology for carbon composite designated for the particular applications, it's not that hard to do so.
Russia said the Chinese J-11B radar reflector is only 3-5 meters (Photos) « Military of China, force comment.In addition, thanks to extensive use of modern composite materials, the F-11B airframe weight reduction than the Su-27SK about 700 kilograms, its flying life expectancy increased by 1000 hours compared with the latter .
Reverse engineering isn't as simple as you make it sound.
The J-10 is based on the J-9 prototype, possibly with some assistance from the ill-fated Israeli Lavi program.
The J-11B uses an air-frame design of Russian origin, which is the source of contention between Sukhoi and Sengyang. And that's it. The avionics and the rest are all indigenous.
And as far as China vs. India goes, you may wanna read this report:

Please don't say that the Rand Corporation is anti-India.
The Israelis didn't sell them to China due to US pressure and the issue of North Korea.
MiD-EasT RealitieS - www.MiddleEast.OrgAmerican defense and state department officials are furious at Israel for
so flagrantly violating the US embargo of high-tech arms to China,
particularly as tensions between Washington and Beijing rise. There have
even been angry demands in Congress for the value of the Israeli AWACS
aircraft sold to China to be deducted from the $3-5 billion in aid Israel
receives annually from the US. Fears are being expressed that US
technology for Israel's new `Arrow' anti-missile system, developed with
nearly $1 billion in US aid, may also be sold to China.
Israelis claim their weapons sales to China motivate Beijing to keep a
leash on its ally, North Korea, which, says Israelis, ships missiles to
Iran and the Arabs. Russia remains China's main arms supplier. Sales by
Israel keep Russia and China apart, say Israeli partisans. Nonsense,
retorts the Pentagon. But in an election year, New York City is far more
important than China. So Israel will probably only get its wrists slapped -
if that.
I've never heard of a conductor called an "absorber" instead...anyways, the proper use of the word absorber in this case referring to EM, is usually referred to as electrical absorbers for specific frequencies. Since we weren't talking about radar absorbent paint or composites but about oxide coated canopies, your use of the term "absorber" is inappropriate. The conductive canopy oxide coating is applied via deposition and makes EM behave similarly to how EM travels along the rest of the surface of a treated stealth airframe. The difference in shaping of the canopy are under the same stealth shaping rules as is used on the rest of the respective airframe. That's why the F-117A canopy has saw tooth edges for its shaping and the J-20 bubble canopy for its shaping doesn't.
That's the strong impression I get because you constantly butt into every conversation concerning stealth and invariably end up talking about traveling waves in one way or another while giving comparatively rare mention of specular reflections. Martian2 and you once had a debate about "continuous curvature" and he had a strong point about with an example about a cylinder and its unnecessarily large potential radar return, along the straight edge view from the straight on specular return from an illuminating radar, due to its lack of "continuous curvature" and you kept harping about traveling waves while completely ignoring his point about the specular reflections. That's what is called willful ignorance and/or purposeful deception. Either that, or you actually do believe specular reflections and shaping take a back seat since you gave it zero importance. That's par for the course in every single one of your debates since your obviously not here to actually debate anything. lol
I suggest you tone down accusations for things that are simply not true. I have never disregarded the importance of all-aspect stealth and have had conversations with you and others stretching back years about various ways to improve stealth detection regarding multi-modal radars involving various radar bands, greater computing power, different filters, cell tower style radar grids, SAR radar grids, UAV radar grids, RWR radar grids, etc, etc. Your needless anecdotes concerning why the F-117A is retired is the reason why traveling waves is even a concern today. But, it is still secondary.
That's fine, if your intention is to actually debate. However, if you choose to ignore one while concentrating on the other or vice-versa depending on whatever you are "debating" about, then there is a problem. It doesn't help that you consistently nitpick grammar and use it as part of your debates. lol The word disingenuous is used a lot nowadays.
If that's your attitude then why even waste time debating the unknown? Isn't it a waste of time then because it sure seems like you have alot of time to be writing up what looks like 40 pages per day of what you consider useless messages in these debates about phantom projects and items.
I never said the Russians cannot. I have a lot of respect for Russian engineers given their relatively limited resources and I'm sure they will eventually make changes to the canopy to address this weakness. How you can claim a traditional canopy is a minor stealth issue is surprising given that RCS is now measured in the fractions of a sq/m2.

Most Chinese media think J11b is good enough to take Rafale. The reason India choose Rafale just because France CONVINCE India that it could beat J10.
dont pressurize your brain much
IAF will have 200 + lca's before 2020 and ts mark 2 version is compatible with gripen

firstly test your j-10 and j-11 with f-16 block 70 with aesa.
f-16 will get hell out of your cheap copies
