In recent years, my country has developed rapidly in military weapons and equipment. Not only can it independently build large aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, but also the performance of various fighters ranks first in the world. As we all know, my country's F-15 and F-16 fighters can mount about 10 air-to-air missiles. When the F-20 was first publicly displayed to the public, it also appeared in front of everyone in a four-in-two mounting mode, but this is not the F-20. The maximum number of bombs. There is good news from the Air Force recently that my country’s J-20 can unload up to 24 air-to-air missiles under the latest external mounting state. Before

, a F-20 model appeared in our field of vision. Don’t you think that this is just a normal F-20. This is a model that appeared after my country’s official version of the F-20 was reduced. The number of loaded bombs in the built-in magazine of the J-20 model in the screen has reached 6, and according to Chinese military experts, when the main and auxiliary magazines of the J-20 and the external attachment points of the wing are all full, up to 24 can be mounted. missile. Speaking of this, many military fans may have doubts. Then we will carefully analyze how the F-20 can be fully loaded with 24 missiles. First of all,

is the built-in magazine of the fuselage. The side magazine of the F-20 has a limited capacity and only needs to load one missile, but the unloading capacity of the main magazine can indeed be increased. Nowadays, our country is equipped with 4 Explosion 15 missiles in the main magazine of the J-20. You must know that this missile is much larger than the AIM-120. If the Liberation 15 is modified, then the main magazine of the J-20 will be fully loaded with 6 A missile is without pressure. Another point is that my country’s J-20’s main magazine has a much larger space for missiles than when the US F22 is equipped with six missiles. This is enough to show that the J-20’s main magazine is larger than F22.

Next, let’s analyze the hanging points under the wing of the fighter. At present, our country has officially announced four hanging points on the wings, and all four of them are heavy-loaded hanging points. Earlier we said that the main magazine can be filled with 6 missiles, and the flanks of the fuselage can carry 2 missiles. If the J-20 is to carry 24 missiles, then 16 missiles need to be carried under the wings. The wing uses a triple-mounted composite pylon. The 4 triple-mounted pylons can only mount 12 air-to-air missiles. If you want to achieve 16 you have to use a quadruple composite pylon similar to F15QA. The fuselage can bear the weight of the missile, so the quadruple composite pylon can be realized completely.

Then there is a question. Can the J-20 fly if it carries 24 missiles? In fact, the air-to-air guided missiles carried by the fighters are not very heavy. The weight of the AIM-120 we usually see is about 150 kg. The total weight of 20 AIM-120s is only 3 tons, while the size of the Thunder 15 will be slightly larger. Some, but it is not too important to exceed AIM-120, so theoretically speaking, the weight of 24 Thunderbolt 15 air-to-air missiles will not exceed 5 tons. The official information revealed by our country shows that the maximum load of the J-20 is 8 tons, so there is no pressure on the J-20 to mount 24 Perak 15s.
