fighter jets has always been a key research content in the current military field. From J-5 to J-20, the PLA fighters have gone through several generations and entered the club of stealth fighters. In this regard, everyone wants to know whether the J-20 is a fifth-generation fighter. What do Chinese experts say about this issue? What do American experts say? What will the Russian experts think? I believe that after combining these points of view, everyone will have an answer in their minds.
In previous research reports in the United States, they referred to fighters such as F-16 and Su-27 as third-generation aircraft, but Russia referred to them as fourth-generation aircraft. In this way, this article will classify this type of fighters into the category of third-generation fighters. They all adopt a large number of aerodynamic optimized shape designs. In order to reduce the weight of the fuselage and increase the strength of the fuselage, a large number of composite materials are also used.
, without exception, these fighters are all designed to be "pointed", vacating the head space to equip large-scale aviation radars, and a large number of advanced avionics are used. Speaking of the maximum flight speed, it is basically at twice the speed of sound, and some are indeed reduced. At 1.7 times, the maximum ceiling is about 20,000 meters, but the maneuverability has been greatly enhanced. The weapons used by fighters like
are mainly air-to-air missiles. The main combat scenario is beyond-the-horizon air combat. Many fighters fall into this category, such as the French Mirage 2000, the American F-14/15/16/18 series, and the United Kingdom. There are models such as Gale, as well as MiG-29, MiG-31 series, Su-27 series, and China's Flying Leopard J-10 also belong to this category.
According to this idea, the J-20, F-22 and F-35 should all be divided into four generations. However, according to research reports of the US Air Force in recent years, it can be found that the United States collectively refers to the F-22 and F-35 as the fifth-generation aircraft. Now that the US military has taken the initiative to initiate reforms, Chinese military fans may wish to do more academic research instead of holding the old emperor calendar, thinking that the J-20 is a fourth-generation aircraft.
A Russian military expert once wrote that the Chinese J-20, like the Su-35, belongs to the fourth-generation aircraft, not the fifth-generation aircraft. This remark caused intense discussions among many Chinese military fans, and many people even posted comments to refute this conclusion, and listed a lot of evidence.
However, CSIS has issued a detailed report on the J-20. In this report, it can be found that the US refers to the J-20 as a complete fifth-generation aircraft, and the performance of the J-20 is better than any fighter in Asian countries. Be advanced. It can be seen that the United States is extremely affirmed of the technological achievements of the J-20, which also marks a footnote for us to designate fighters. It can be seen that in the eyes of the United States, fighters like the F-22 have been classified as fifth-generation fighters.
