Why can't the most powerful J-19 carry large air-to-surface missiles? Expert: Not a big deal

With the continuous development of modern military technology, air force construction has become a country’s top priority. Therefore, all countries attach great importance to the research and development of fighter jets, especially the latest fifth-generation fighters, which all countries want to develop. Advanced fighter jets that came out to seize air superiority. As the technology required to develop the fifth-generation stealth fighter is too high, only a few countries in the world can successfully develop the fifth-generation fighter.

As a recognized military power in the world, China has naturally successfully developed its own fifth-generation fighter jet-the J-20. Although there is still a certain gap between the engine and the US and the Soviet Union, on the whole, China's J-20 has become the world's leading fighter model. As the fifth-generation stealth fighter, the J-20 is by far the most powerful fighter jet, but the J-20 cannot carry large air-to-surface missiles. Why? Moreover, experts say this is not a big deal, it can fly close to the target and strike again.

experts said that the reason why the J-20 cannot carry large air-to-surface missiles is actually related to the positioning of the J-20. As the most advanced fifth-generation stealth fighter in the world, the J-20 must sacrifice in order to have sufficient stealth performance. Certain weapon devices, so the external pylons were removed during the design, and all ammunition can only be loaded in the magazine. The magazine with limited space is naturally unable to carry large missiles. At the same time, the J-20 is not a multi-purpose fighter, but a heavy air superior fighter designed to seize air superiority. From this aspect, the J-20 does not need to consider whether it can carry large air-to-surface missiles. In the actual combat process, naturally there will be J-15 and J-16 fighter jets to perform these tasks.

In fact, with sufficient stealth performance, the J-20 can completely break through the opposite defense and conduct close combat. Whether it is a fighter or a ground unit, there is nothing special about the J-20. Advantage. However, for some small countries, the fifth-generation fighters that do not have multi-functional combat capabilities are obviously not so easy to use. Instead, many fourth-generation fighters are more in line with their national conditions.

Although the purpose of the fifth-generation fighter is relatively single, to a certain extent, the improved combat effectiveness of the fifth-generation stealth fighter is already very important for a large country, so the fifth-generation fighter will receive such attention. .
