J-20 stealth fighter is the first stealth fighter of my country's Air Force, and it is also a star equipment in the minds of military fans. From the first flight to the official service, from large-scale installation to the execution of deterrent missions, every time the J-20 has new trends, military fans are very excited. . Just recently, CCTV exposed the latest improved version of the J-20 stealth fighter , the two-seater version of the J-20, which naturally attracted attention.
It is reported that in the latest episode of the CCTV Military Channel's " Military Technology " column, multiple two-seater versions of the J-20 appeared, which is also the first time that the two-seater version of the J-20 has appeared in the official media.
has been five years since the J-20 was officially put into service. According to the speculation of US media and experts, my country's air force has currently installed at least 200 J-20s.
Although the speculations of US media and American experts are largely aimed at hyping up the so-called "Chinese military threat", the actual situation should be similar.
Previously, my country's Air Force spokesman Shen Jinke University of Science and Technology said in public that the J-20 has been equipped with more and more troops, both "east, south, north and middle".
It is not difficult to see from the speech of Shenjin University of Science and Technology that the air forces in the five major war zones of the People's Liberation Army have been equipped with the J-20. With the large-scale installation of the J-20, military fans are even more looking forward to the legendary two-seater version of the J-20.
Although there have been many reports on the two-seater version of the J-20, the official media has not confirmed it. Therefore, this time CCTV exposed the two-seater version of the J-20 for the first time, which made military fans particularly excited.
But what excites military fans even more is that in the picture released by CCTV, there is also an animation shot of a two-seater version of the J-20 controlling three stealth drones. The military commentator in the program
interpreted this picture and said that if the two-seater version of the J-20 controls the drone, one pilot can focus on flying, and the other pilot can command and control the drone and assign combat targets.
Judging from the appearance of the three stealth drones in the picture, it is very similar to the Attack-11 stealth drone that unveiled at the National Day parade in 2019, and it is highly likely that this model is this model. The
program also introduces the attack-11 stealth drone. This drone adopts a stealth design and can carry out precise strikes on enemy deep targets.
Regarding the combination of the two-seater version of the J-20 and the three Attack-11 stealth drones, many military fans called out: The Chinese version of the "loyal wingman" is online.
It is reported that "loyal wingman" is a concept proposed by the US military in 2015. Its main content is to develop a stealth drone that can cooperate with stealth fighters such as F-22 and F-35, thereby forming a new combat system.
In March 2019, the "Loyal Wingman" project jointly developed by the United States and Australia made significant progress - the XQ-58A stealth drone code-named "Vajim" successfully completed its first flight.
The United States proposed the "Loyal Wingman" plan mainly to solve the problem of insufficient ammunition capacity of in the fifth-generation aircraft, and at the same time it can expand its reconnaissance and detection range, and provide it with one more layer of protection to enhance its survivability.
But at the same time, the US military believes that although drones can fight independently, the power to decide whether to launch weapons must be in the hands of real people.
. The United States does not have a plan to develop the two-seat version of the F-22 and F-35. This means that in the "Loyal Wingman" plan, the pilots of the US stealth fighter must fly the fighter and command the stealth drone at the same time, which has very high requirements for the pilot.
In comparison, the two-seater version of the J-20 developed by my country has pilots who specialize in commanding and controlling drones, and its safety and reliability are obviously higher.
In other words, the two-seater version of the J-20 is currently the most suitable stealth fighter for the "Loyal Wingman" program in the world. It is also because of this that foreign media, after watching the video of the two-seater version of the J-20, they sighed: The US Air Force has no advantage in front of the Chinese Air Force .
Western media reports pointed out that the current equipment system of the Chinese Air Force has no generational difference with the US Air Force, and even the plans that the US Air Force has not yet realized will be implemented by the Chinese Air Force.
analysis believes that whether it is the active main combat equipment or the development of future equipment, the US Air Force has no advantage compared with the Chinese Air Force.
According to the previous statement of the US military, the biggest advantage of the US military compared with the PLA is its rich combat experience. But analysis points out that the United States has never fought with a "opponent of the same level" as China.
So in fact, in the face of the ever-developing China, the advantages of the United States have disappeared. Of course, Western media reports are also suspected of hype.
But it is undeniable that China's development in the military field has indeed been very gratifying in recent years. However, China needs to emphasize that China's continuous military development is to strengthen national defense, not to put pressure on other countries or conduct military expansion, so Western countries do not need to be anxious about this. At the same time, I also advise the United States to focus on its own development and stop exaggerating the "Chinese military threat", otherwise it will sooner or later bear fruit.
