Chinese TV tries to pass ‘Top Gun’ footage off as real drill?: "China Central Television (CCTV) recently aired footage of a J-10 fighter (a predecessor to the J-20) allegedly destroying another aircraft during a training flight. But many viewers noticed something fishy — the images seemed eerily familiar.

Closer inspection revealed an uncanny similarity to a scene from the film 'Top Gun,' the 1986 Tom Cruise blockbuster."
