India’s AMCA ‘Stealth Fighters’ Enter Production Stage, How Does It Jet Stack-Up Against China’s J-20 Mighty Dragon?

BySakshi Tiwari

March 21, 2022

The fifth-generation J-20 ‘Mighty Dragon’ is a prized possession of the Chinese PLA Air Force. With India’s prototype of AMCA going into production, will the Chinese stealth fighters have a potential challenger right across the border?

The Chengdu J-20 is a single-seat, multi-role stealth fighter that serves as a symbol of China’s growing air power as the plane has been featured prominently in military parades and air shows across the country.

Last year, the J-20 reportedly entered mass production after replacing the Russian AL-31F Turbofan engine with a domestically built WS-10. According to Chinese plans, the current WS-10C engine is further to be replaced by the latest and more advanced WS-15.

Chinese jets have traditionally been powered by Russian-made engines. China has long sought to develop its own engine and gain maximum flexibility, freeing itself from the constraints imposed by Russian engines. The successful integration of WS-15 on J-20s could be the next big breakthrough in self-sufficiency for China.

China’s next-generation turbofan engine, the WS-15, which is to dramatically boost the performance of the J-20 stealth fighter jet, has completed rigorous testing.

The WS-15 engine has undergone several tests, according to China Central Television (CCTV), after the WS-10, China’s first independently developed high performance, high thrust turbofan engine with afterburner, was installed on fighter jets such as the J-10, J-11, and J-20 since 2016.

The WS-15 has a low bypass ratio and is capable of thrust vector control, according to CCTV. It was developed for fifth-generation heavy and medium fighter jets. The J-20s were supposed to be integrated with the WS-15, but due to test failures, China decided to stick to the WS-10C.

The Chinese military now has a fleet of roughly 50 J-20s. New J-20s will be equipped with the WS-15 engine, said a report of South China Morning Post.

China has been relentlessly working to close the gap with the US Air Force and the upgrades that it is carrying out to the WS-10 engines are aimed at challenging the F-22 Raptors of the US.

This year, China will begin upgrading the J-20 engines by incorporating thrust vectoring technology to get it closer to the performance of the American F-22 Raptor, as previously reported by EurAsian Times.

The J-20 has also often been compared with another fifth-generation fighter Aircraft in the US arsenal, the F-35. China is reportedly on track to increase the production of its J-20 aircraft. This was perhaps in response to the American plan to field more than 2,000 F-35 stealth jets across its three armed services, besides Japan’s multibillion-dollar F-35 acquisition.

China had dispatched J-20s to air bases in Xinjiang following a bloody encounter with Indian forces at Galwan in eastern Ladakh in June 2020.

India’s AMCA Warplane

India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) recently announced the proverbial “metal cutting” for the first prototype of the country’s next-generation fighter jet, the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft.

The maiden flight of the AMCA is scheduled for 2024-25, with serial production beginning in 2030, EurAsian Times had reported.

According to reports, the Indian Air Force has committed to 40 AMCA Mk-1 fighters, as well as at least 100 Mk-2 variants and some unmanned aircraft. Like the Chinese J-20, the stealthy AMCA is also going to have ‘super cruise’ capabilities.

With AMCA, India will enter the exclusive club of countries with fifth-generation stealth warplanes. So far, the US (F-35 and F-22 Raptors), Russia (Su-57), and China (J-20) have built such fighters.

Although it is unknown how the AMCA, which is yet to be manufactured, will exactly compete with the Chinese J-20,

According to Aeronautical Development Agency chief Girish Deodhare, the AMCA will be available in stealth and non-stealth variants and will be produced in two stages: an AMCA MK1 with an existing GE414 afterburning turbofan engine that powers the LCA Tejas, and an AMCA Mk2 with a new, more powerful engine that will be developed in collaboration with a foreign player.

India and France are now reportedly close to reaching an agreement for the joint development of a 125KN engine that will power AMCA. The deal is expected to be signed in the near future.

Some experts have speculated that the Indian Air Force would model its futuristic aircraft AMCA on the American F-35. If true, this could ensure greater interoperability between the Indian and US Air Forces and could come as a massive headache for the PLAAF.

AMCA will be a single-seat all-weather swing-role stealth fighter jet with twin turbofan engines. It will be capable of a wide range of operations, including air superiority, ground strikes, enemy air defense suppression, and electronic warfare. China is reportedly working on a two-seat variant of the J-20.

AMCA is designed for super-cruise capability and a reduced radar cross-section. Both these features that the AMCA strives to include are already present in the J-20 Mighty Dragon. Further, J-20 took its first flight a decade ago and was inducted in 2017 whereas the AMCA is yet to see the light of the day.

The 20-ton AMCA fighter would be able to carry one-and-a-half tons of armament in internal weapon bays in its stealth mode. The non-stealth variant would carry weapons, targeting and observation pods, as well as fuel tanks on external pylons under the wings and fuselage.

Further, like the indigenous LCA Tejas that wields Python missiles, Astra BVRAAM, Vympel R-77, and R-73 air-to-air missiles, the Kh-59ME TV guided stand-off missile and the Kh-59MK laser-guided stand-off missiles, the AMCA could be integrated with similar weapons. Just as India sought HAMMER missiles for LCA, advanced missiles could also be imported for the AMCA.

Indian media reported that the AMCA could be equipped with Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) just as China’s J-20 is believed to get the DEWs, as previously revealed by a Global Times report.

The AMCA’s avionics suite will comprise modern radars and electronic warfare capabilities with “sixth-generation characteristics.” The plane will have a very low radar cross-section for better stealth, as well as AI-based technologies and an upgraded cockpit display with a touch screen interface.

All these specifications are expected to put the aircraft on par with the J-20. According to reports, the AMCA will also incorporate thrust-vectoring engines. The J-20 is on course to upgrade its WS-10 engines with thrust vectoring technology while the WS-15 already possesses this technology aimed at achieving better maneuverability.

Both the Chinese J-20 and Indian AMCA have air superiority as their primary objectives. While the Chinese Air Force developed its fifth-generation fighter years ago, the addition of a similar aircraft to IAF’s arsenal could create a balance of power between the two adversaries that are locked in a prolonged border standoff.

i don't understand how can they jump from one project to another without finishing the first one?

i mean LCA is still not finished, the aircraft has not been inducted in the Airforce, not seen any combat, not seen any real life flying yet it is up for sale.

Have you thought of the possibility that they have different teams for different projects?

Moreover, for the AMCA and the multi-role helicopter projects, the majority of the ownership is expected to be owned by a consortium of private sector companies with HAL being the minority stake holder. There is a huge difference in the working cultures of private and public sector companies in India.

Yup, that is just a tiny part production, similar like KF21/IFX program there are some parts being produced in early 2019 despite detail design completion was in September 2019 ( for single seat variant), KF 21 roll out is in 2021 April.

So if we compare AMCA with KF21/IFX program, so AMCA prototype roll out will likely be in 2024 and test flight is in 2025 with assumption the development goes smoothly from now until the flight test.

KAMRA: The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) formally inducted a modern Chinese-made J-10C multi-role combat aircraft also known as “vigorous dragon” during a ceremony held at Kamra Airbase on Friday.

Prime Minister Imran Khan attended the induction ceremony of the single-engine fighter jet at the invitation of Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmad Babar, along with other federal ministers and the Chinese ambassador.

During the ceremony, The Prime Minister has witnessed a thrilling flypast of various aircraft formations, including the newly inducted J10C, F-16s, JF-17s, and Mirages, which displayed a sophisticated array of avionics and weaponry.

Following the flypast, the Prime Minister witnessed the landing of five J-10C aircraft, which have been inducted into the 15 Squadron.

The J-10C is larger and can be outfitted with a bigger active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar than the JF-17 Block 3 uses.

The aircraft can carry fourth-generation air-to-air missiles such as the short-range PL-10 and the beyond-visual-range PL-15.

According to a foreign media report, China will deliver a total of 25 J-10C fighter jets to Pakistan, significantly increasing the country’s military capability to defend airspace.

After being tested in Chengdu, the first batch of combat aircraft arrived in Pakistan a few days ago.

Images of a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) J-10C fighter jet with the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) markings recently surfaced on social media and were widely circulated by media outlets.

Chinese analysts have praised the latest defence cooperation between China and Pakistan, saying that the move is significant for both countries because it strengthens the Pakistani military’s combat capabilities, promotes China’s aviation equipment, and serves regional security interests.

“The J-10C will significantly improve the Pakistan Air Force’s combat capabilities,” Chinese analysts predicted.

“The J-10C is a 4.5-generation medium-sized fighter jet that is more powerful than the China-Pakistan jointly developed lightweight fighter jet, the JF-17, which is currently in service with the Pakistan Air Force,” Shi Hong, Executive Chief Editor of Shipborne Weapons, told the Global Times.

**Weapons that Don’t Work in the Ukraine War Make Up Most of China’s Military.

Title:

Content: Weapons that Don’t Work in the Ukraine War Make Up Most of China’s Military

Chinese analysts want to understand why Russian weapons are doing so badly in the war in Ukraine. 70% of China’s modern airplanes are licensed copies, unlicensed copies or variants of the SU-27. 20% are inferior planes that are not even as good as the Russian copies.

The Ukraine War has been an actual real world test or most of the modern planes, missiles, drones that the world has. The only systems that have not been tested or used are the stealth fighters. Russia has some SU57 stealth fighters but has not used them other than a few safe uses from long-range.

The other lessons are which tactics are ineffective and which tactics are more effective. There is also the need for a lot more drones for front line troops. Drones have become an absolute necessity on the front lines. There is a need for a lot more ammunition and overall training. There will need to be a lot more training on the effective tactics.

China also wants to look at the Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile getting shot down. The Kinzhal and China’s hypersonic weapons (YJ-21 and DF-17) are similar technology. They are hypersonic warheads on a regular rocket booster. The Kinzhal had about 6 shot down in one day. The Kinzhal cost Russia about $10 million each to make. The YJ-21 is a shorter range navy variant of the DF-17. The YJ-21 costs about $8 million each. The DF-17 costs about $107 million each. Russia had about 6 Kinzhal missiles shot down in 1 day in the war. Normal supersonic missiles are about $1-2 million. The point of spending more money for a faster missile is so it can with near certainty penetrate defenses. A military could always just buy 10 or 100 cheaper missiles to overwhelm air defenses. You don’t want to go too cheap where the missiles are not reliable like a Scud missile. You want to spend enough to get good cost benefit on reliable destruction.

The Russian S-400 air defense system was supposed to be a scary system able to defend against the US air force and missiles. The S-400s have been defeated and destroyed with a few waves of cheap drones and cheap missiles. China bought a lot of expensive S-400 air defense systems.

The US and the rest of world may not have the exact same Russian equipment but all of the world’s military have to update and change procurement to reflect what is being learned in Ukraine.

Russia has lost about 20% of its Su-34 fleet, with a starting total of only 121 aircraft. Four Su-34 planes were shot down in only 2 days in December, 2023.

Chinese analysis identifies two reasons for these heavy losses.

1. The Russian Aerospace Force, which inherited the air combat theories of the Soviet Air Force, habitually allows existing combat aircraft to take on the tasks of both air defense suppression and electronic warfare.

2. Russian military’s did not buy enough precision guided stand-off munitions. They cannot keep their planes safer by being further away.

Roughly 20% of the PLAAF and PLANAF’s combat aircraft are old second-generation fighters of limited combat value against peer opponents, save perhaps in swarming attacks. Another 30% include strategic bombers and more capable but dated third-generation designs. Finally, 50% percent are fourth-generation fighters that can theoretically hold their own against peers like the F-15 and F-16.

China has about 126 actual Russian planes in the Su-27 family (SU27, SU30, SU35).

The J-11 and J-16 are copies of the SU-27 Russian planes, that are getting shotdown by ground to air missiles in Ukraine. The J-11 was a licensed copy of the SU-27.

The J-10 is a copy of the Israeli Lavi from Israeli designs. The Lavi was based on the design of the French Dassault Mirage. The J-10s haver had several deadly accidents possibly related to difficulties in the fly-by-wire system. 22% of China’s 2500 combat aircraft are J-10.

The J-7 is an older and even more outdated plane makes up 20% of the fleet of 2500.

China’s J-20 now makes up about 8% of China’s 2500 combat jets. This is stealth plane copied from stolen F-22 and F-35 information.

20% are inferior planes that are not even as good as the Russian copies.

Black Smoke Arises From China’s J-20 Stealth Fighter; Is Mighty Dragon Already Breaking Down?https://eurasiantimes.com/category/expert-reviews/

Videos and photos of a Chinese J-20 stealth fighter jet releasing black smoke circulated the internet and caused debate among defense enthusiasts and military observers.

Some watchers claimed that the jet is overhyped and issues with poor Chinese manufacturing have begun to show.

The Generation 5 stealth fighter has been displayed to the public for the first time in this year’s ongoing Zhuhai Air Show, where the fighter landed, taxied, and parked before the public for a closer view.

Usually, the fighter only conducted flypasts and aerobatics. Now opening the ‘Mighty dragon’ for the audience indicates China’s and the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s (PLAAF) confidence in the aircraft.

The rare public display also led to some close-up photographs being clicked, showing its brake parachute, part of the cockpit, and the enclosed air-to-air refueling probe.

The fine workmanship and finishing of the plane’s body were also visible, baring the highly sophisticated metallurgical, forging, and precision cutting processes.

J-20 Breaking Down?

The video showed a puff of black smoke being released from a small exhaust in the bottom spine of the plane, just before the tails (vertical stabilizer) section.

Onlookers claimed it was an issue with the plane’s engines, which China has still not succeeded in fully mastering. However, putting doubts ti rest, experts said it was the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), which also operates the same way on the American F-22 Raptor.

The APU is usually a miniature jet whose primary role is to drive the main engine to complete the start-up operation.

It also provides part of the power and high-pressure air or fluid when the main engine is turned off to save fuel and reduce its wear and tear. This cumulatively has a significant positive impact on the main engine’s life and maintainability.

“That’s a most common feature when the APU starts,” noted Chinese military aviation expert Andreas Rupprecht while speaking to EurAsian Times. Former IAF Jaguar pilot Squadron Leader Vijainder K. Thakur confirmed it was the APU.

The following video shows the F-22’s APU throwing out thick, dark greyish, and black smoke. The F-22’s APU is located just under the leading edge of the left wing, above the side internal weapons bay compartment.

nother comment from a Chinese national on a popular defense page, who was present at the air show, said that the same J-20 was merely stopping over at Zhuhai and was seen perfectly taking off later. There were no issues with the engine.

J-20 To Be Upgraded Further

While the era for the J-20 is just beginning, unlike the F-22 and the F-35, which are beset with a host of production, technical and budget constraints.

Global Times quoted the J-20’s chief designer Yang Wei, who said that future upgrades would involve Artificial Intelligence (AI) and “cognitive technologies” to make it perform optimally in a “combat system.”

Current air warfare philosophy considers systems as teams and combinations of aircraft and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), which would coordinate to carry out joint tasks.

Speaking at a press conference by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), Wei said, “Four J-20s can form a formation, which is a small system; a J-20 can team up with a J-16 and a J-10C in another small system. Recent news reports also suggested that the J-20 can fly together with drones, which is also a system.”

The report quoted Yang saying that the development strategy of the PLAAF used to be homeland defense, but now it has become air-space integration with both attack and defense capabilities.

China’s Stealth Fighter Designer Critiques U.S. B-21 Bomber Development Pace

on 23 December 2023

In a lecture aimed at dissecting the evolution of air warfare, Yang Wei, the chief designer of China’s leading-edge J-20 stealth fighter, scrutinized the developments surrounding America’s B-21 Raider stealth bomber. Yang compared the philosophies underlying military aviation advancements in China and the United States, suggesting that China’s approach to research and development outpaces that of its American counterpart. The analysis of the U.S. B-21 Raider’s progress and the broader implications of this comparison has sparked interest and commentary throughout the defense community.

China’s military advances have been notable not only for their technological aspects but also for their speed. According to Yang Wei, this is exemplified in China’s adoption of digital engineering, which enables faster development cycles compared to American methods. Yang’s critique extended beyond a simple one-upmanship of aircraft capabilities, targeting the fundamental R&D approaches between the two powers. Moreover, his speech hinted at deeper collaboration with China’s Academy of Engineering Physics, spurring speculation about China integrating nuclear capabilities onto their fighter jets, a strategic shift from China’s historically defensive nuclear posture.

This evolving strategy aligns with China’s broader military developments. Enhancing the J-20 stealth fighter with a nuclear strike capability could offer China a more immediate nuclear deterrent while the development of the H-20 bomber continues. The J-20’s advanced stealth characteristics could potentially enable it to execute penetrating nuclear strikes with a greater probability of evading detection and defensive measures. With both nations advancing their military aviation technology, the competition underscores not just advancements in technical capabilities, but also in strategic doctrine.
In sum, the insights from Yang Wei’s talk echo a larger narrative regarding the competitive advancement in stealth technology and, importantly, highlight the strategic implications should China pair its stealth fighters with nuclear weaponry.

FAQ:
1. What was the primary focus of Yang Wei’s lecture?
Yang Wei’s lecture focused on the evolution of air warfare, specifically the development of the J-20 stealth fighter and the comparison with America’s B-21 Raider stealth bomber.

2. How does China’s approach to military aviation R&D compare with that of the United States?
According to Yang Wei, China’s employs digital engineering which leads to faster development cycles, suggesting an advantage over traditional American R&D methods.
3. What speculation has arisen from Yang Wei’s mention of collaboration with China’s Academy of Engineering Physics?
There is speculation that China may be considering integrating nuclear capabilities onto their J-20 fighter jets, indicating a possible shift in China’s nuclear strategy.
4. What strategic advantage could China gain by enhancing the J-20 with nuclear strike capability?
Such a capability could provide China with a more immediate nuclear deterrent and the ability to execute penetrating nuclear strikes that could evade detection and defensive measures.
5. Why is the competition between China and the U.S. in military aviation technology significant?
The competition is significant because it reflects not only advancements in technical capabilities but also shifts in strategic military doctrines.

China ’ s sixth-generation fighter jet: is a tailless derivative of the J-20 possible?

China ’ s sixth-generation fighter jet: is a tailless derivative of the J-20 possible?
Image source: invoen.ru
On January 31, 2023, the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) published a video recording of the concept of a tailless fighter.
According to Chinese sources, it is connected with the country ’ s efforts to develop a sixth-generation fighter.
China and the United States are currently competing for the world ’ s first and most powerful sixth-generation fighter jets.
Senior U.S. Air Force officials have repeatedly warned that China may be the first to adopt such an aircraft.
China's fifth-generation J-20 fighter jet
These two countries are the only ones using fifth-generation fighter jets of national production at the squadron level.
At the same time, China produces a heavy twin-engine J-20 and is developing a medium FC-31, and the US – a much lighter single-engine F-35.
The tailless gliders are expected to become a key hallmark of sixth-generation fighters, and the images shown by the ACIV are markedly reminiscent of the J-20, but with a diamond-shaped triangular wing and no tail.
Image published by ACIV
The presented images increase the likelihood that the J-20 will become the basis for the development of the sixth-generation fighter.
It is believed that other sixth-generation features, primarily drone control and directed-energy weapon capabilities, are currently being developed for the J-20 and can be integrated into both gliders in the current configuration, as well as into the more imperceptible tailless derivatives of the deltoid wing if they appear.
As its own analogue of the J-20, the adaptation of the fifth-generation fighter to the tail glider to improve stealth performance was also considered in the United States.
This led to the X-44 Manta program.
In the American version of the design, a thrust vector control system was used to compensate for the lack of tail and rudder surfaces and to ensure control of yaw, pitch and roll (but it never approached the prototype stage).
X-44 Manta.
Sketch
Research under the Manta program began in the mid-1990s, but was discontinued in 2000, more than half a decade before the base F-22 entered service.
Model F-22 and did not advance to any options, except for the basic single-seat fighter F-22A.
Production of the latter was stopped ahead of schedule due to a wide range of problems with the aircraft.
The first F-22s are scheduled to be decommissioned later in 2023, after completing only a small portion of their service life.
It is assumed that the J-20 model, similar to the X-44, although with avionics and sensors of the sixth generation, can serve as an intermediate stage until a clean design of the sixth generation fighter is developed, or provide a cheaper alternative to such a fighter.
With the sixth-generation American fighter estimated at several hundred million dollars for a glider and more than a billion dollars for the lifetime of each aircraft, a derivative of the sixth-generation model from the J-20 will provide a much more economical means of achieving higher-level stealth capabilities.
In addition, it is likely that the production of the new aircraft at the facilities of the current base J-20 will be much easier and may receive significant similarities in service.
In general, foreign experts agree that although the development of a promising fighter, no doubt, is a priority for the defense sectors of China and the United States, neither the nature of the images AVIC, nor assumptions about the connection of its design with the J-20 does not add clarity about the design of the Chinese sixth-generation fighter.

The Chinese called their new fighter “an unpleasant surprise ” for Russia
Their fighter is gaining altitude, which neither Russian nor American aircraft reach
China presented an analytical review of the achievements of the Chinese aviation industry against the background of other military superpowers.
According to Chinese analysts, their country has unpleasantly surprised the United States and Russia with its achievements in the field of military aviation.
As stated in the report, before everything Chinese was considered a copy of Russian, occasionally American, technology.
But China managed not only to make serious progress in the field of military aircraft, but even to break away and unpleasantly surprise both Moscow and Washington.
This achievement analysts NetEase called the Chinese fifth-generation fighter J-20, adopted in 2017.
An important distinction of fifth-generation aircraft is stealth.
Both Russian and American aircraft also have this quality, but, according to Chinese experts, their equipment has another advantage - a competitive climb.
It is noted that the maximum possible for the American F-22 — 19 thousand meters, Russian Su-57 — 20 thousand.
But the J-20 can reach a height of 30 thousand meters, which is, according to Chinese analysts, the fundamental difference between their fighters and the equipment of other countries.
This, according to the publication NetEase, is the unpleasant “surprise ” that China was able to present to other countries, in particular, Russia.
“China ’ s fifth-generation fighter jet has risen to an altitude of about 30,000 meters, making Russia and the United States feel uncomfortable, ” the report said.

Is China ’ s military aircraft capable of countering the US Air Force?
In the new conditions of the international situation, domination of airspace is becoming more and more relevant.
The political and military leadership of the leading scientific-technical countries pays close attention to the development of national air forces, which in many countries are the most advanced component of the armed forces.
At the same time, the most significant results in the development of the air force (both qualitatively and quantitatively) have been achieved in recent decades by two countries - the United States and China.
In the military conflicts of the XXI century, the aircraft of the US Air Force and the PRC did not take part in air battles against each other.
This fact makes it problematic to compare the real combat capabilities of the aircraft (LA) of the two countries.
Most of the comparative assessments of experts regarding the American and Chinese military aviation are subjective and are based mainly on the study of the declared tactical and technical characteristics.
At the same time, the tasks, goals, development plans of the air forces of the two countries remain outside the estimates, as well as possible military conflicts in which the aircraft of the two countries can meet in battle.
MILITARY WINGS OF AMERICA
An analysis of the composition of the US Air Force fleet, according to the annual bulletin reviewing the military capabilities of the world's states, The Military Balance 2023, shows that at the beginning of this year, the US Air Force had 328,600 active personnel.
In addition, 117,497 were in reserve, and 106,700 were in the US National Guard Air Force.
In service there were 4093 manned aircraft (as well as 1289 in the Air National Guard and 396 in reserve), 156 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), 2130 air-launched cruise missiles (ALCMs), 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
A study of the official website of the US Department of Defense shows that the unpredictable military-political situation forces the US leadership to continuously improve the national air force.
In particular, the US Air Force has the largest fleet of strategic bomber aircraft in the world.
According to The Military Balance for 2023, the US Air Force is armed with B-52H, B-2A and B-1B bombers.
At the same time, according to experts, B-1B aircraft are reoriented to perform non-nuclear tasks.
The fleet of strategic American bombers allows you to operate beyond the reach of enemy air defense assets.
Today, only B-2A bombers have sufficient range and are able to penetrate with impunity into areas protected by modern air defense and missile defense systems.
But the fleet of such aircraft is not enough to defeat all targets in the Asia-Pacific theater of operations, which the US military and political leadership considers a priority in the 21st century.
At the same time, not all indicators of this component of the US Armed Forces speak of unambiguous American superiority in the air.
So, for 2024, it is planned to write off at least 310 aircraft (150 were on the list for 2023), but the US Congress does not fully approve these plans.
In particular, the Americans want to get rid of 42 A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft, whose survivability on the modern battlefield is questionable.
It is also expected to decommission 260 fighters by 2028.
This list includes 57 F-15C / D Eagle aircraft under the age of 40 years.
They are planned to be partially replaced by the F-35A and F-15EX after complete decommissioning by 2026.
Maybe even the F-15E.
Their reduction is expected in 2025.
Some F-22As will also be decommissioned, namely 32 Block 20 units decommissioned and used exclusively for training purposes.
Further reductions will affect the aircraft long-range radar detection (AWACS) E-3G, of which at the moment 13 decommissioned.
It is planned to get rid of the last 24 KC-10 Extender tankers.
Also considered superfluous are the last three combat control and targeting aircraft E-8 Joint STARS, 48 modular reconnaissance and strike drones MQ-9 Reaper Block 1, three “aircraft of psychological warfare ” EC-130J Commando Solo and three almost museum light bombers A-29.
In terms of helicopters, the US Air Force intends to abandon 37 HH-60G Pave Hawk aircraft, which will be gradually replaced by the HH-60W Jolly Green II.
52 T-1 Jayhawk (Beechjet business jets) are also to be reduced.
Finally, the decision was made not to repair one B-1B after the engine fire, leaving 44 such bombers in the fleet operating.
NOAC AIR ARMADS
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), in terms of the quantitative composition for 2023, the PLA aircraft fleet is in third place in the world.
As for the qualitative composition, the percentage of aircraft of previous generations and foreign production is still quite high.
The PLA bomber aircraft is 100% equipped with more than once modernized, but obsolete aircraft "Hun-6".
In tactical aviation, up to 70% falls on aircraft such as “Jian-7 ”,“ Jian-8 ”, “Jianghong 7 ” and“ Qiang-5 ” (they are gradually withdrawn from the Air Force).
At the same time, China is experiencing a shortage of heavy transport aircraft, patrol aircraft and tanker aircraft.
Since the beginning of the 2000s, a systematic qualitative improvement of the PLA air fleet has been carried out.
It became possible not only due to the purchase of foreign aircraft and the deployment of licensed production at national enterprises, but also the creation of their own models of aircraft on their basis (and in many cases copying).
Chinese engineers are trying to get the most advanced technologies from the leading (especially in terms of engine building and the development of on-board equipment) states in order to master them and create the latest competitive samples of national aircraft.
The re-equipment of the aircraft fleet is also linked to the implementation of the reform of the Chinese Armed Forces, which is divided into three stages: 2000-2020, 2021-2035 and 2036-2049.
At the first stage, the number of personnel and obsolete equipment was reduced, work on the modernization of existing and the development of new models of weapons and military equipment was intensified.
The tasks of the second and third stages are to reach the level of the leading countries of the world.
According to the British publication Jane ’ s Information Group, the military-political leadership of China not only retains the combat capabilities of old aircraft, but also initiates the development of new models – for example, strategic bombers.
Modification of the bomber "Hun-6" has the designation "Hun-6K" and significant differences from the previous versions.
In the bow (in front of the cockpit), a long-range detection and fire control radar is installed.
"Hun-6K" uses Russian turbofan engines D-30KP-2 with a capacity of 12 thousand kgf / cm2, which have changed the shape and size of the air intakes.
The study of SIPRI databases allows us to state that currently the designers of the Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Enterprise are developing the first strategic supersonic stealth bomber under the designation "Hong-20" (the number 20 indicates a maximum speed of 2.0 MAX).
COMPARISON OF POTENTIALS
According to the SIPRI Institute, today the US Air Force is much more powerful than the Chinese Air Force already due to the tactical and technical characteristics of the aircraft used.
The British resource FlightGlobal published a report according to which the United States retains the advantage, having more than 13 thousand military aircraft, 5,163 of which are operated by the US Air Force.
American fighters F-35 Lightning and F-22 Raptor are considered one of the most advanced combat in the world.
China ’ s air force is the third largest in the world with more than 2,500 aircraft, of which about 2,000 are combat aircraft (according to China ’ s 2022 Military Power Report).
Thus, the obvious strategic air superiority is on the US side.
Although China is rapidly increasing its power and stubbornly creates promising models of weapons.
The Pentagon and the American aviation industry so far demonstrate a clear superiority in terms of aircraft of the latest generations.
According to open sources, the United States in 2017 produced 50 multi-role aircraft of the 5th generation F-35 and 26 aircraft of the 4th generation F-18.
In 2018, 70 F-35s and about 14 F-18s were built in the United States.
On average, the United States produces between 75 and 85 jet fighters per year.
In addition, in these years, other military aircraft for various purposes were produced in the United States.
Among them are 15 KC-46A tankers, five E-2D Advanced Hawkeye AWACS aircraft, 24 P8A reconnaissance and jammer aircraft, 28 C-130J transport aircraft.
In total, the United States produces about 130 manned aircraft annually, not counting helicopters.
Analysts give cautious estimates of the quantitative indicators of the Chinese aviation program, explaining its traditional Chinese closeness.
According to their estimates, China built approximately 100 aircraft in 2017, including two-thirds of combat aircraft.
China plans to establish the production of the fifth-generation J-31 aircraft and the J-20 stealth fighter.
China ’ s military budget is expected to double by 2030.
It is growing at a rate of about 5-10% per year.
Therefore, China can catch up with the United States in terms of production of fifth-generation aircraft by 2025.
But so far, the United States is ahead of both Russia and China in terms of the construction of fifth-generation aircraft.
Today, China has about 700 fourth-generation combat aircraft and up to 25 fifth-generation fighters.
By 2025, China will be able to increase the number of 4th generation aircraft to 1,100 and have from 60 to 120 5th generation aircraft.
By 2030, China may already have 1,200 – 1,600 generation “4 ” aircraft and 200 – 500 generation“ 5 ” aircraft.
The U.S. Air Force has about 450 5th generation aircraft (F-22 and F-35) and approximately 1,500 Generation 4 and 4 + aircraft (F-16 and F15s).
Plus, the US Navy has about 800 F-18s, and the Marine Corps has 260 F-18s.
It is estimated that the US will have approximately 1,000 5th generation aircraft in 2025 and up to 1,500 in 2030.
IF THE WAR IS TOMORROW
In the annual report of the US Department of Defense to Congress for 2023, “Military and security events with the participation of China, ” it is noted that the most possible scenario of a collision between the US Air Force and the PLA Air Force in real combat may be tension in the Taiwan Strait.
As part of its offensive operations, the Chinese Air Force can launch missile and air strikes against American targets and those of its allies in the region.
It is noted that the joint offensive operation of the PLA will include missile and air strikes, cyber attacks and a blockade of the island.
The objectives of the operation will be to limit Taiwan's defensive capabilities, as well as to suppress the morale of the island's population and break its ties with the outside world.
The latest report by the US International Center for Strategic Studies (CSIS), “China Strategy and Armed Forces in 2023, ” noted that the main goal of the Chinese is to destroy the island ’ s air defense system, missile bases, military airfields and aircraft located on the runways and hangars of Taiwan.
The main goal of the PLA at this stage is to gain air superiority.
US military experts claim that China is capable of launching missile and air strikes, as well as conducting an offensive operation in cyberspace.
Another possible option is to launch missile strikes against command posts and critical infrastructure, followed by a rapid airborne and naval landing operation, as well as the seizure of Taiwanese military facilities by Chinese special forces.
In this case, the PLA will have difficulty attacking without warning.
WHERE THE UNITED STATES WILL RESPOND
The analysis of open sources shows that against the background of escalating confrontation between the great powers and general turbulence in the field of security, the Pentagon continues to reorganize the national air force.
First of all, we are talking about the confrontation between the United States and China in the Asia-Pacific region.
The changes will affect the organization, equipment and training of the US Air Force.
The top leadership of the United States approved the formation of three new air force tactical groups, which represent the implementation of the experiment for the deployment of integrated units.
Two of these groups will be under the control of the Central Command of the US Armed Forces, whose area of   operational responsibility primarily includes the Middle East.
The third group will be subordinated to the Indo-Pacific Command.
In the foreseeable future, these are precisely the locations where the US Air Force and the PLA Air Force will compete for air supremacy.
CONCLUSIONS AND SYNTHESIS
As a result of comparing the US Air Force and the PLA Air Force, it is possible to draw the following conclusions and generalizations:
1.
The political and military leadership of both the United States and China pays close attention to the development of new models of combat aircraft.
It is believed that the presence of modern aircraft in the national air forces of both countries will allow to hit enemy targets outside the range of air and missile defense systems.
2.
The presence of US and PRC aircraft bomber aircraft allows in peacetime to perform the task of nuclear strategic deterrence.
Given the possible unacceptable damage, a potential enemy (represented by the United States and China) will be forced to refuse to participate in hostilities in advance.
3.
The conflict in Ukraine is the first case in history where the situational awareness of even junior commanders is absolute.
The main part of the samples of aircraft, consisting of the military aviation fleet, is produced in China at the national enterprises of the defense industry.
Despite the fact that a significant part of the fleet consists of aircraft with a development period of more than 30 years, some of these samples have not exhausted the opportunities for modernization.
4.
Regular work on the modernization of aircraft and helicopters allows China to significantly improve the flight performance and operational characteristics of the existing fleet.
In particular, this applies to auxiliary aircraft: military transport and special vehicles on their base, multi-purpose helicopters.
As for combat aircraft, at present, the Chinese aircraft industry provides their annual production in the amount that allows for the planned re-equipment of aviation parts with new types of aircraft, as well as their repair and modernization.

Content: The Air Force of the People ’ s Liberation Army of China (PLA) will present a line of new military aircraft, including unmanned ones.
This is reported by “Rossiyskaya Gazeta ” with reference to the statement of the official representative of the troops Shen Jinke, reports Day.Az.
According to the publication, the presentation will be held within the framework of the 14th China International Aviation and Space Exhibition, which will be held from 8 to 13 November in the city of Zhuhai in southern China.
For the first time, the YU-20 refueling aircraft (a Ukrainian aircraft with Russian engines), the J-16 multirole fighter (a Chinese analogue of the Su-35) and the GJ-2 heavy reconnaissance and strike drone (an analogue of the American MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper) will be shown.

"China now has up to 200 J-20 fighters."

The US authorities were puzzled by the question of increasing the production of fifth-generation F-35 fighters.
But in the race with China, Washington is clearly losing.
This is reported by The Asia Times.
Earlier, The Warzone reported that the decision to increase the production of the latest aircraft was made more than four years later than previously planned.
1,000 F-35s have already been produced for the Air Force, Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and foreign customers.
However, the produced aircraft are not put into operation due to delays in the development and creation of the Tech Refresh-3 (TR-3) configuration, which is at the heart of the fighter ’ s promising capabilities.
These capabilities include expanded computing power, improved cooling, a new guidance system, and so on.

China J-20 Fighter
On the other hand, the main opponent of the United States – China – is probably lagging behind in the race of advanced stealth fighters.
However, he is actively implementing the program of fifth-generation fighters, the flagship of which is the J-20 aircraft.
Earlier, the Asia Times reported that Beijing plans to overtake Washington in the production of fifth-generation fighters.
The number of J-20 aircraft this year will exceed the number of American F-22, according to the publication.
The United States halted production of the F-22 in 2011.
By that time, only 187 such aircraft had been built.
China now has up to 200 J-20 fighters.
Although the United States had 450 F-35 fighters by April 2022, the production of J-20 aircraft in China is actively gaining momentum.
This creates a situation in which China will eventually have a much larger number of fighters, and this will create serious problems for the United States in the event of a direct conflict.

Combat wings of the Celestial Empire: what a fleet of the latest J-20 can boast of China
Dmitry Lutovich
Experts note that to date, more than 10 air brigades of the PLA Air Force can be armed with a stealth fighter J-20.
Such power cannot be underestimated.
Since 2021, China has significantly increased production of the fifth-generation fighter J-20, which is designed exclusively for the People ’ s Liberation Army of China (PLA).
Presumably, in 2025, the supply of these machines will increase dramatically to 120 units, thanks to which the PLA Air Force will increase the number of brigades equipped with new aircraft.
On the probable number of J-20 aircraft in the ranks of the Chinese air force told on January 31 observers Bulgarian Military.
With the increase in supplies of the J-20, more and more PLA Air Force brigades are getting into service with this stealth fighter, which experts sometimes compare with the American F-35.
Eight brigades of the Chinese Air Force have already received J-20s by the end of 2022, and another five are reported to have been delivered in 2023.
If aircraft production continues at the same pace, by the end of this decade, more than 30 PLA brigades will be proudly showcasing their J-20s.
Also, the authors of the material note that at present, two PLA brigades are replacing outdated machines, such as the J-7E and J-11 (a version of the Su-27) with the latest fifth-generation fighters.
These are the 97th Air Brigade, which is based at Dazu Air Base, located near the city of Chengdu, and the 4th Air Brigade of the Chinese Air Force at Foshan Air Base, in the vicinity of Shenzhen.
The latter is of great military importance, as it houses the backbone of the submarine fleet of nuclear missile boats of the country.
“The proximity of the base to Taiwan, which is only 700 km away and is a potential point of conflict, further highlights the importance of this facility, ” the observers stressed.
Experts also believe that such a build-up of air forces is intended to make it clear to Japan and South Korea that they refrain from possible participation in possible conflicts related to Taiwan.
For example, the 8th Air Brigade of Changxing Air Base, strategically located near the Korean Peninsula, will also boast the inclusion of J-20 owners in the rapidly expanding club.
Thus, more than 10 brigades with J-20 fighters are a force that cannot be underestimated, experts say.
According to its characteristics, the Chinese machine in its capabilities is among the most effective fighters for air combat in the world.
Earlier it was reported that on the eve of the 74th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Air Force, the Ministry of Defense of China published a propaganda video with images of the combat work of the J-20 stealth fighter.
The video also shows the launch of the missile and the procedure for intercepting and expelling "foreign" military aircraft.

"Such power cannot be underestimated."

What have foreign military analysts said about China's J-10 Fighter?

It will become the most powerful competitor to the US F-15.

"Experts also believe that such a build-up of air forces is intended to make it clear to Japan and South Korea that they refrain from possible participation in possible conflicts related to Taiwan."

"The main goal of the PLA at this stage is to gain air superiority."

"US military experts claim that China is capable of launching missile and air strikes, as well as conducting an offensive operation in cyberspace."

"The political and military leadership of both the United States and China pays close attention to the development of new models of combat aircraft."

"It became possible not only due to the purchase of foreign aircraft and the deployment of licensed production at national enterprises, but also the creation of their own models of aircraft on their basis (and in many cases copying)."

The Chinese called their new fighter “an unpleasant surprise ” for Russia
Their fighter is gaining altitude, which neither Russian nor American aircraft reach
China presented an analytical review of the achievements of the Chinese aviation industry against the background of other military superpowers.
According to Chinese analysts, their country has unpleasantly surprised the United States and Russia with its achievements in the field of military aviation.
As stated in the report, before everything Chinese was considered a copy of Russian, occasionally American, technology.
But China managed not only to make serious progress in the field of military aircraft, but even to break away and unpleasantly surprise both Moscow and Washington.
This achievement analysts NetEase called the Chinese fifth-generation fighter J-20, adopted in 2017.
An important distinction of fifth-generation aircraft is stealth.
Both Russian and American aircraft also have this quality, but, according to Chinese experts, their equipment has another advantage - a competitive climb.
It is noted that the maximum possible for the American F-22 — 19 thousand meters, Russian Su-57 — 20 thousand.
But the J-20 can reach a height of 30 thousand meters, which is, according to Chinese analysts, the fundamental difference between their fighters and the equipment of other countries.
This, according to the publication NetEase, is the unpleasant “surprise ” that China was able to present to other countries, in particular, Russia.
“China ’ s fifth-generation fighter jet has risen to an altitude of about 30,000 meters, making Russia and the United States feel uncomfortable, ” the report said.

Content: New Russian Checkmate will be a headache for the US – media
However, for this, domestic engineers need to solve all issues related to the release of the aircraft.
Russia with the help of a new domestic fighter Su-75 (Checkmate) seeks to compete with the United States in the air and on the geopolitical map.
“Shah and Mat ” can compete with the American F-35 and challenge the strategic levers of influence of Washington, if Russian manufacturers are able to start its production.
This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.
As the publication notes, presented in July at the air show MAKS-2021 Checkmate became the world ’ s second single-engine fighter equipped with the most advanced control systems and a complex of radio detection and guidance.
Its only real competitor is the fifth-generation fighter F-35 Lightning II, which is manufactured by the American company Lockheed Martin Corp.
At the moment, the U.S. aircraft is in great demand in the international market.
This not only brings America a stable income from exports, but also helps Washington to promote its political interests around the world.
However, the light Su-75 stealth aircraft is designed to perform a similar function for Moscow, causing a “geopolitical headache ” for the American leadership.
Israel and Japan are among the 15 countries that have received the F-35 or reached an agreement on its purchase.
In turn, Russian officials said they would like to sell the Su-75 to the United Arab Emirates, Argentina, India and Vietnam – states with security ties to the United States.
However, so far none of the above countries have agreed to a deal with Moscow.
Meanwhile, according to military analysts, Checkmate, as its name suggests, seeks to challenge Washington ’ s strategic influence.
Moscow characterizes the new fighter as a commercial project.
"There is no need to look for a geopolitical aspect in our new light tactical aircraft.
The real reason is much simpler - cars of this class are really in high demand on the world market of military equipment, "said Sergei Chemezov, CEO of Rostec.
He believes that the new domestic fighter will be a good option for those countries that want to have modern equipment, but who do not have an extra $120 million for the purchase of the American F-35 Lightning II.
And for the Su-75 will have to pay four times less – only $30 million.
However, some experts predict that the real cost of Checkmate will be higher than the announced figures.
To challenge the superiority of the F-33, Russian designers will first have to solve all the problems associated with the launch of the Su-75 into production, including financial issues.
Earlier, the American magazine 19FortyFive found our new stealth fighter one strong trump card in the sleeve.

Kagri Erhan, a member of the Security Council and Foreign Policy of the Turkish Presidency, announced that Ankara is expected to abandon its requests for American-made fourth-generation F-16C / D fighter jets due to the availability of a better alternative.
World - Turkey
The Turkish official noted that the “$20 billion cost package ” and the availability of more cost-effective options, notably the Chinese J-10C, could make such a rollout a reality.
"Now we have other options such as the Chinese plane that was sold to Pakistan, the Russian planes and also the Eurofighter," he said.
According to Miltary Watch, Pakistan began receiving Chinese J-10C fighters in February 2022.
The Chinese fighter is of the same weight as its American counterpart, the F-16, but it is several decades newer with multiple features and performance advantages, especially in terms of armament, flight and flight performance.
It is a lightweight single-engine fighter with low operating cost and improved fifth-generation avionics.
Chinese aircraft also have similar capabilities and in most respects are superior to their American counterparts, in addition to requiring less maintenance needs and much faster delivery time.
Although Turkey is the largest foreign operator of the US F-16, with about 250 in service, which means the new aircraft can be easily integrated with existing training and logistics systems and weapons, China has in the past modified its fighters to be able to operate US weapons at the request of foreign customers.
One of the main advantages of the Chinese fighter is its very low cost compared to its American counterpart, due to the fact that China manufactures large quantities of them, unlike the American.
Turkey ’ s preference for lightweight fighters makes the Chinese single-engine aircraft an effective and pioneering option.

*"Now we have other options such as the Chinese plane that was sold to Pakistan, the Russian planes and also the Eurofighter," he said.

Content: China turns one of its experimental J-20 fighter jets into a memorial
World News
Copy Link https: / / www.rt.com / rpli
An unusual monument appeared on the plaza of the Chengdu Aerospace Corporation Flight Training Center, where it was erected on the base of one of the prototypes of the fifth-generation J-20 fighter.
It was reported that the experimental plane had participated in the initial tests, and when it was completed, it was decided not to throw it away like a worn out remnant, and it was permanently installed in the square for memory.
This sample is significantly different from the real aircraft produced in its final stage, and completely lacks any internal equipment.
The released images do not show the rear part of the modern Chinese fighter, so it is not known what the engine components look like in the model.
Nearby on another base is a J-10 multirole fighter, belonging to the previous generation.
This type of fighter aircraft is one of the symbols of the air power of China, which has achieved great success in developing advanced technology for its air force.
It took less than a decade for Chinese experts to complete the design of this type of modern fighter, originally known as the "G-XX", when the first sample appeared in front of the camera lens, and many experts found some similarity to the prototype of the Russian MiG-1.44.
China ’ s fifth-generation J-20 fighter, with a maximum take-off weight of 35,000 kg, is reportedly capable of carrying a combat cargo of 7,800 kg.
According to some sources, this fighter aircraft is able to accelerate to approximately 2,900 kilometers per hour, while the radius of combat action reaches 2,000 kilometers.
The fighter is equipped with active phased array radar and sensors that monitor the air situation.
Various air-to-air weapons have been specially developed for them, including long-range weapons, as well as high-precision munitions to hit ground targets.
At the end of last month, a two-seat version of the fighter was spotted for the first time.
Tests of the fifth-generation J-35 aircraft for aircraft carriers have also been announced.

The plane, nicknamed the “Great Dragon, ” was presented to the Chinese People ’ s Liberation Army Air Force in March 2017.
It is one of the most advanced military weapons in China, manufactured by Sichuan-based Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group.
It made its debut in November 2016, at the Zhuai Air Show in Guangdong, China.
The J-20 is the third fifth-generation fighter jet in history, after the American-made Lockheed Martin F-22 and F-35.
The Chinese Air Force had a fleet of more than 50 J-20 aircraft in 2021.
The Chinese aircraft has made comparisons with the F-35 since the aircraft engaged in military confrontations in 2020.
Different types
The F-35 was introduced to the U.S. Army in July 2015.
There are three different types of this aircraft: traditional take-off and landing (F-35A), short take-off and vertical landing (F-35B), and carrier (F-35C).
Variables are distinguished by how the aircraft takes off and lands.
Lockheed Martin has described the F-35 as "the world's most advanced fighter jet", featuring a low level of observable intrusion, advanced sensors, information integration, and network connectivity.
But there is a stiff competition from the J-20.
The South China Morning Post reported that F-35 encounters with the J-20 in the East China Sea impressed a senior commander in the U.S. Air Force.
In an interview with the Mitchell Institute for Space Studies in March, Gen. Kenneth Willsbach, commander of the U.S. Pacific Air Force, said China ’ s ability to defend its nation was “strong. ”
“It ’ s a bit early to say exactly what they intend to do with the J-20, all we ’ ve actually seen is aerial superiority, and I ’ ve seen Chinese pilots fly the plane well. ”
The J-20 is a long and wide aircraft, with a length of 23 meters and a height of 5 meters.
The aircraft has a maximum speed of 2,468 kilometers per hour and a travel range of 5,926 kilometers, according to aviation website Aero Corner.
By comparison, the F-35A has a top speed of about 1,360 kilometers per hour and a range of 2,200 kilometers, according to the Royal Australian Air Force.
Prominent Variables
Some notable variants are the J-20A, the first version of the aircraft, and the J-20S, the first two-seat stealth fighter aircraft.
China has the ability to develop the aircraft into many other variants, including a bomber and an electric fighter, according to the military website Global Security.
The J-20 was initially equipped with Russian AL-31F engines.
The South China Morning Post reported in March that the aircraft were working to upgrade their Russian-made engines to the WS-15 turbofan after combustion.
As part of China ’ s localization program, all J-20 jets will be equipped with Chinese-made engines such as the WS-15, a source told the outlet.
In a 2020 report, the Hong Kong newspaper said the engine upgrade was to "bring its performance closer" to the F-22.
The WS-15 engines will increase maneuverability and combat capability.
The cost of the aircraft is between $100 million and $120 million per unit.
Diplomat reported that in the early 2000s, the initial cost of the aircraft was set at between 450 million and 500 million Chinese renminbi, or about $60 million to $70 million.
According to estimates from multiple reports, the cost of the aircraft has skyrocketed since then.
The cost of research and development of the aircraft was estimated at more than RMB 30 billion.

Which countries' airforces are the purchasers of China's J-10 FIghter?

Which country may purchase China's J-10 Fighter as an alternative to the U.S. F-16 Fighters?

Detailed buyer feedback and in-depth media critique regarding jet quality or performance are not offered in this selection.

Here are the key extracted sentences based on your information request regarding the export market, buyers' feedback, and media commentary on China's J-10 fighter jet:

1.

Title:

Content: The Pakistan Air Force has just imported a new J-10CE fighter from China, which has attracted the attention of foreign media to China's self-designed and developed 4-generation fighter.
Foreign media also noted a new discovery that has not been reported in the past: this batch of J-11CEs has a similar gold cockpit cover to the US military F-22, its function should be as a low-visibility coating, indicating that the J-10CEs have been fundamentally improved from the basic 4-generation fighter base.
From the first J-10A fighter put into use in 2005, to the appearance of the most advanced variant of the J-10C in the spring of 2018, the performance of this fighter has been fundamentally improved from the relatively basic fourth-generation fighter.
The most significant improvements include new avionics, network-centric warfare capabilities, helmet sights, and electronic warfare countermeasures, and the combination of AESA radars with the Peri-15 and Peri-10 air-to-air missiles. Although not built around stealth capabilities like the fifth-generation fighter, the J-10C ’ s radar cross section has been significantly reduced.
Pakistan ’ s purchase of the J-10CE is considered more likely to take part in combat than China ’ s own fighter jets, due to repeated clashes along the India-Pakistan border over the years.
As a result, the purchase of Pakistan has raised a lot of concern about the future performance of this fighter.
Foreign media pointed out that one feature of the J-10CE has attracted considerable attention, that is, the fighter's golden cockpit cover, which is very rare on the 4th generation fighter, but has been seen on the J-20 and the American F-22 Raptor fighter.
Under certain lighting conditions, the cockpit cover of the J-10CE is golden yellow due to an indium oxide tin conductive film coating between the optical glass layers.
This color coating is mainly used to scatter radio waves from the cockpit to reduce the radar cross-sectional area of the fighter.
This feature is one of several new technologies introduced by Pakistan, which is also the first country in the region to benefit from the technology. With the J-10CE expected to become the elite fighter in the Pakistan Air Force in the next few years, its golden cockpit cover symbolizes the aircraft ’ s status.

An advanced export model of J-10 Fighter

**“If the J-20 is China’s top and most popular fighter, then the J-10C should be given the most expectations, because the CCP believes it is a more competitive fighter in the international arms market in recent years.”**

Content: If the J-20 is China ’ s top and most popular fighter, then the J-10C should be given the most expectations, because the CCP believes it is a more competitive fighter in the international arms market in recent years. Although the J-10 was designed in the 1980s, after many improvements and upgrades, it has spawned at least 11 models, and its export model, the J-10C, has gradually opened up the international market. There was a lot of praise in the beginning.
Foreign military analysts believe that after continuous upgrading, the J-10 fighter will be able to use by the 2040s, becoming the United States F-15's most powerful competitor.
The initial design was a 3rd generation fighter architecture, but the constantly upgraded J-10 series has been included in the 4th generation fighter by many experts, it has more than 11 mounting points under the fuselage and wing, and can carry an astonishing number of weapons, including laser-guided missiles, GPS-guided and glide bombs, as well as general air-to-air and ground attack ammunition.
The J-10 was designed by Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute (611) and manufactured by Chengdu Aircraft Company. It was designed in the 1990s, when the PLA developed its own fighter aircraft with a program called the "Destroying Project Plan". It was the No. 10 project, hence the name J-10.
The original concept was to extensively use the technology of the 1980s US F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft and new fighter manufacturing concepts. The chief designer was Song Wenchong, which first flew in 1998 and entered service in 2003.
With a range of 2,500 kilometers and a payload of 1.9 tons, the J-10 has appeared in at least 11 types of aircraft after years of modification on this basis, making it the largest number of derivative aircraft in China.
According to the British Institute for International Strategic Studies (IISS) estimates, the Chinese air force currently has at least 540 J-10s, which can be assembled on a large scale to deal with super large battles.
The "Global Defense" website has carefully analyzed the latest J-10 upgrade to a phased array radar, which can control multiple modes of fire control radar and track 10 targets at the same time. If it is a semi-active radar, it can attack 2 targets at the same time, and if it is an active radar, it can attack 4 targets at the same time.
Analysis pointed out that the ability to track and attack multiple targets at the same time is very important for modern aircraft, and this ability can also be matched to the AN / APG-63 (V1) radar on the F-15.
Later, Boeing again updated the active phased array radar version of the F-15, allowing the F-15 to follow 14 targets simultaneously and attack six of them simultaneously.
This upgrade is said to maintain a nominal advantage over the J-10 fighter that has replaced the active phased array radar.
The upgrade of the J-10 is also the most noteworthy, including the replacement of its domestic engine WS-10B, and the 2018 Zhuhai Air Show was also the first time that the J-10B was equipped with a thrust vector jet engine for a difficult flight performance, which won the attention of many international media and heated discussion on the Internet.
Since then, the WS-10 engine has gradually replaced the Russian AL-31 engine, and some of the J-20 fighters have been switched to the WS-10.
In addition, military experts also noted that the new version of the J-10 also uses a water drop type cockpit cover, allowing the pilot to have a wider and nearly 360-degree all-round view.
Analysts believe that after the radar, fire control, avionics, cockpit covers and engines have been upgraded, the J-10 has the ability to fly into the 2040s, and in recent years began to complete transactions in the international market, proving that nearly 20 years of continuous upgrading and improvement has achieved considerable results, and will also become a very strong international competitor for the United States F-15 fighter.
However, to compare the F-15 with the J-10, some people may think that it is not fair.
Because the F-15 architecture was determined in the late 1960s, it first flew in the early 1970s; in contrast, the J-10 was determined in the early 1980s, and it first flew in the late 1990s.
The theoretical basis of the original design is more than 10 years apart, and the final design is more than 20 years apart.
From the design background difference analysis, the F-15 is a high thrust ratio, low wing load, low resistance high-speed air superiority fighter designed by the US military according to the experience of the Vietnam War and the failure of the F-4 Phantom fighter. Air and ground attack aircraft.
Therefore, some analysts believe that if we want to compare, J-10 may be more suitable to take the F-16 as the target.
Coupled with the tense situation in the Taiwan Strait in recent years, there are more and more people are more concerned about the comparison of the J-10 and Taiwan's main air force fighter F-16.

▲ After the modification of the J-10D exposure, the appearance of the back of the machine made many military fans shout very incongruous.

Military Center / General Report
A suspected new J-10 prototype has recently been exposed and sparked discussion. In the photo, there is a large chunk on the back of the aircraft, and a flat projection is now added to the back of the original curved aircraft.
The biggest change in this prototype, known as the J-10D, is the use of the back space to install conformal fuel tanks, in order to upgrade the fuel capacity and range, and it is expected to complete a series of magic work will lock Pakistan as the main target for sale.
The exposure of the J-10D prototype is the use of the J-10B / C prototype modified, the appearance of many military fans shouted that the uncoordinated back change will be installed conformal fuel tank, in order to improve the J-10 has been more nervous fuel carrying capacity.
Considering that Pakistan urgently needs a destroyer to undertake a variety of different tasks, it has promoted the further development of the J-10 improvement project on the mainland.
The J-10C.

"Today 's Headline" columnist "Baiyang observation room" pointed out that no matter what model, the J-10 currently has only two fighting bomb hanging points on the wingtip, two heavy hanging points in the middle of the wing for hanging bombs, and two hanging points on the inner side of the wing and one on the belly for hanging auxiliary fuel tanks, plus four hanging points on the side can carry a pod or a 250 kg bomb. With the F-16, the flying wind and other Western mainstream medium aircraft are incomparable, and even no better than the Narrow Dragon block3, Pakistan has maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the J-10.
Analysis said that the J-10D now unveiled with the back conformal fuel tank, at least a pair of heavy hanging points in the inner wing can be liberated, for the Pakistan Air Force whether it is to use to hang two CM-400 series of combat missions, or hang some more air bombs to carry out air patrols, can greatly expand the use of J-10D in the country, so that the same as F-16, A really good multi-purpose fighter.
It is expected that after the completion of the conformal tank test, the machine will also make some specific improvements to the loading capacity.
As for this latest exposure of the improved model will not enter the People's Liberation Army Air Force service in the future, the analysis believes that it can not be said that there is no, only that the probability of being fully paved is not high.
Because there are many heavy annihilators and annihilation bombers on the mainland to carry out deep missions, the main task of the J-10 is still to stay in the front-line air defense, and there is obviously not much interest in this kind of improvement that will increase the dead weight and deteriorate the flight performance.
