Arabic, Schmarabic
Except if you've been to the Mid-East, these are the numbers you see:
٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩
These are apparently called Eastern Arabic numbers. They seem to be the norm, and not just "eastern." What you and I learned were "Arabic" numbers should probably be called "European Numbers."
Back to the thread: what is the designation of the Chinese Laptor? The dual nose-wheel is a give-away.
Keep in mind: just because it looks like one doesn't mean it flies like one, or has the electronic goodies/stealth that was the reason the F-22 was so expensive in the first place.
The canopy looks like a big reflector to me.

Other number systems are read and used differently...try doing long division with Roman or Chinese numbers.
