Maverick CCTV employees splice Top Gun into patriotic video

For the past few weeks the Chinese Government has, to an extent, had the Americans on the back foot following revelations about its new stealth fighter. People in the West have been re-evaluating the balance of power in Asia and wondering where they got the technology from. No doubt wanting to confirm this superiority and uphold its patriotic duty, CCTV released a very impressive video of the J-10 fighter blowing up another plane. Unfortunately for CCTV it seems like they underestimated the investigative powers of Chinese internet users, who were pretty quick to point out that the scene of the plane being destroyed was first shown in Top Gun, way back in 1986. The sheer audacity just takes my breath away...
