In the video released by the Navy, which has been popular on the Internet recently, the Chinese Navy's 001 16 "Liaoning" aircraft carrier, in addition to three helicopters, is also placed on its spacious flight deck with 24 J-15 "Flying Shark" fighters' "full deck attack" status.
In the same hot video broadcast on CCTV, the J-15 Flying Shark carrier-based fighter jet taken off the 001 aircraft carrier 16 of the Chinese Navy, flew over the Burke-class destroyer at an ultra-low altitude in the form of a dual-aircraft formation.
not only made the first aircraft carrier, the Chinese Navy, the "Liaoning" and the "Liaoning" carrier-based fighter on the ship also became popular. J-15 is the first carrier-based fighter jet of the Chinese Navy.
In the past, in order to successfully develop the most critical configuration project of the "Liaoning" aircraft carrier as soon as possible, we referenced the mature T10K-3 prototype/ Su33 fighter , and the body followed the Su-33 configuration. Of course, the research and development also incorporated the related technologies of the J-11B fighter .
J-15, when the "Sea Five" J-35 carrier-based fighter with stealth performance, was still the undisputed main carrier-based fighter among the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft troops. None of them is the first.
has a maximum flight speed of Mach 2.5, a maximum range of 3,500 kilometers and a combat radius of about 1,500 kilometers. It is a heavy carrier-based fighter with a maximum take-off weight of 32 tons. It has excellent air combat performance and has both sea and land attack capabilities.
J-15, an airborne pulse Doppler radar, originated from the ready-made J-11B fighter jet at that time; the sea attack fire control radar is transplanted from the J-7A "Flying Leopard" fighter bomber.
This move is to shorten the R&D cycle as soon as possible, avoid all new technologies, and thus bring some uncontrollable risks, and first solve the problem of whether there are or not. Then, the J-15's airborne avionics equipment gradually upgraded during use.
It is reported that the J-15T, a catapulted carrier-based fighter, was launched on the active phased array radar similar to the J-10C, and the detection distance and detection accuracy have been greatly improved. When the J-35, which has stealth performance, fails to enter service at that time, it will become the main carrier-based fighter of the 003 18 "Fujian" electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier.
J-15 has 12 external pyramids on board, which can carry "Pili"-12 medium-range air-to-air missiles, "Pili"-8 close-range combat missiles , "Eagle Strike"-83K anti-ship missiles and "Eagle Strike"-91 anti-radiation missiles, etc., and perform various combat tasks such as air combat, anti-ship and ground strikes.
On the 001 Type 16 "Liaoning" aircraft carrier, the J-15 can only carry out flight deck ski jump takeoff, and the general takeoff weight is about 28 tons. In the future, the J-15T catapult version can achieve a 32-ton "full oil and full bomb" takeoff when it is ejected on the 003 aircraft carrier.
J-15 has a range, combat radius, and ammunition load indicators that exceed foreign non-stealthy F/A-18E/C carrier-based fighter jets and carrier-based F-35B/C joint attack/ fighter jets with stealth performance. However, it is much inferior in airborne radar and avionics equipment, and each has its own advantages.
As the test flight verification work of the "350003" J-35 stealth carrier-based fighter with the "August 1" military emblem logo was completed, it will be put into the mass production stage soon, and will be equipped with the Chinese Navy Aviation carrier-based aircraft troops and take the lead in performing simulated aircraft carrier take-off and landing flights on land. The
003-type 18 "Fujian" aircraft carrier is likely to be included in this critical time node in 2024. By then, the Chinese Navy Air Force will have the J-35 stealth carrier-based fighter, and there will be no technical generation gap with the carrier-based F-35B/C joint attack/fighter with stealth performance abroad.
