>...if the unidentified objects appearing near ADIZ over the East China Sea turned out to be F-22 from the U.S., it would be a good opportunity for China's military to practice its ability to find, identify and intercept stealth fighters.

Please pardon my bit of chuckling, but in the past Chinese Air Force pilots can't even intercept a prop-plane without hitting the thing. An F-22? Going to need a lot of practice.

It's nice they can see the F-22 though. It didn't really help in the Middle East that much[1] years ago with the SR-71. But it's something to feed the press!
