On October 6, according to an article published by the US National Interest magazine, citing an article published by the Russian Satellite News Agency, China is rapidly increasing the production of J-20 stealth fighter jets, so the air superiority of the U.S. and its allies in the Asia-Pacific region, the fifth-generation aircraft, , will soon face severe tests.
J-20 is an stealth fighter . At the press conference of the 14th China Air Show, the spokesperson of the Chinese Air Force , Captain Shen Jinke, included it in the ranks of the fifth-generation fighter in the fighter system developed by China for the first time.
This move puts the J-20 fighter jet alongside the US-made F-22, F-35 and the Russian-made Su-57. There is no so-called technical generation difference. In fact, the J-20 itself is a stealth fighter and has a certain latecomer advantage.
, especially in airborne avionics equipment, has a higher degree of modernization and comprehensive combat performance, and is also ahead of the technical drawings that have been frozen into mass production of F-22 stealth fighter , which has been frozen in the late 1990s.
For the F-22, which has a long-standing research and development, does not have pilot helmet displays, EODAS photoelectric distributed aperture system, EOTS infrared photoelectric aiming system and other airborne avionics equipment, will face strong pressure from the opponent when encountering or confronting the J-20 in the air.
J-20 is an active heavy fighter . Its maximum take-off weight may be as high as 37 tons. It has a range of 4,500 kilometers with internal fuel alone and a combat radius of more than 1,800 kilometers.
abdomen hidden ammunition bin, which can store and launch 6 "Pili"-15 long-range air-to-air missiles ; the side ammunition bin next to the wing can carry and launch 2 "Pili"-10 close-range combat air-to-air missiles. The comprehensive combat performance of these two types of air-to-air missiles is undoubtedly outstanding on a global scale.
Chinese Air Force spokesman Shen Jinke University said that the J-20 has been spread across the southeast, west, north and middle, and is equipped with more and more and more flights. US military intelligence agencies believe that China's current J-20 fighter jets are about 200, which has exceeded the fleet of 186 F-22 stealth fighters in the US Air Force.
Recently, the picture of the oil transport-20 refueling a J-20 and an J-16 that was circulated on the Chinese Internet has impressed the outside world.
Based on this, the US National Interest magazine published an article pointing out that although the J-20 is a land-based fighter, it can perform combat missions in the most important areas of the Pacific region, and its range can be further expanded through the Y-20 refueling aircraft.
The magazine believes that there are currently about 150 J-20s serving in the Chinese Air Force, and Chengfei Airlines is still in continuous mass production. It won’t take long to make the J-20’s future fleet size reach at least hundreds.
In the Asia-Pacific region, the US military has dozens of F-35 stealth fighter jets, deployed on air bases in Japan and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the Navy. South Korea purchases 40 equipment, Japan purchases 147 aircraft, and Australia purchases 100 aircraft.
The number of equipment of the Chinese Air Force J-20 will soon overtake the US military and its allies F-35 stationed in Japan, and put it into the sea and airspace of the Asia-Pacific region. The F-35, which is also an stealth fighter, will be under tremendous pressure. The air advantages of the US military and its allies will soon disappear.
F-35 is a joint attack/fighter with stealth performance developed by Los Angeles. It is a single-engine military aircraft. Because its body appearance and shape are relatively obese, it is nicknamed "Fat Electric" by Chinese military fans. On the contrary, its nickname " Lightning II" has not been mentioned on the Internet.
maximum flight speed is only Mach 1.6. The F-35 is mainly used to carry out ground attacks and has certain air combat capabilities. Military critics in the United States all admit that the F-35's air combat capability is worrying. When encountering stealth fighters such as the Su-57 in the air, they can only avoid and avoid them from a distance and do not have the ability to engage in air combat with other stealth fighters.
