Photos have surfaced online of what appear to be a fifth-generation Chinese jet, reports the New York-based Business Insider.

The only operational fifth-generation plane in the world is the U.S. F-22 Raptor, but China and Russia are known to be developing such aircraft.

RIA Novosti noted that the Chinese photographs show overall construction similar to the Chinese J-20 prototype.
