According to comprehensive analysis by military experts PY, for , the "J-20 phobia" is the 2.0 version of its false "China threat theory". Japan has even published "Hot Sale" comics, depicting that after Japan's future aircraft carrier is equipped with an F-35 fighter jet, it shot down J-20 in a conflict in the "On the East China Sea island". This reminds people of the 1895 war more than a hundred years ago, before the , the "Dingyuan Zhenyuan phobia" was popular in Japan, and the "sinking two-far" game was also popular among the people.
Is Japan planning a new Sino-Japanese War? Just like the desperate purchase of the Western warship , Japan has now tried to "buy" a group of hundreds of stealth F-35 fighter jets, and has built a local technical and tactical advantage over Chinese fighter jets during the "air-time" time window when the Chinese Air Force has not yet equipped the J-20 fleet in large quantities and has not yet replaced the thrust vector engine on a large scale, and the Navy has not yet had a clear fifth-generation fighter aircraft installation plan. This is very similar to the arms race a hundred years ago. Japan wanted to take the lead and then "bet a bet on the national destiny."
Japan is planning to take the shuttle bus of the "tactical revolution" triggered by F-35B, and step into the " air-sea integrated war " era led by the "network center war". This is already Japan's "national determination". For Japan, the introduction of the F-35B aircraft fleet means the introduction of a revolutionary new combat system. That is, a new system (system warfare), a new tactic (network center warfare), a new concept (equality coordination, unified "war cloud" network interface protocol is the protagonist), a new theory (AI-type self-organized network), a new era (generational difference warfare, entering the stealth era), and a new effect (a fighter is equal to a group of aircraft).
Of course, obtaining the F-35B also means that after more than 70 years, Japan will once again have fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft and a supporting aircraft carrier formation. Although Japan's experience in operating fleet aircraft carriers with the large deck still comes from during the World War II, it does have unique experience in using the four aircraft carrier formation, which is something other countries do not have, and it is also the confidence that Japan has "always dissatisfied in his heart". Due to the gap in national strength, the Self-Defense Force has few fighter jets, but its pursuit of strong capabilities is to focus on the multiplication effect of combat power. The main tactical direction of the "Kaga" and "Izumo" strike groups is to determine the tactical direction of " East China Sea has something to do", so naturally, we have to compare the "Izumo"-level strike group with the "Liaoning" . Especially the 27,500 tons of "Kaga" and " Izumo " ships are equipped with a total of 24 F-35B "Fat Power". Although the number is the same as the " Liaoning " of 24 J-15 carrier-based aircraft, the F-35B and the J-15 have a considerable generation difference in stealth, avionics and other aspects.
