China’s Veyron comes out of the nest, and foreign military aircraft are verified in the East China Sea. What advantages does it have compared to conventional fighters? The advantages are huge, and it can even be said to be a comprehensive surpass.
1. As a fifth-generation aircraft, the J-20 has certain super-cruit capabilities. Although due to power reasons, its performance may be somewhat lower than that of Western super-cruise aircraft, it is still super-cruit. Going to the incident area at high speed with lower fuel consumption and supersonic speed is something that conventional fighters cannot do.
2. Since the J-20 is a stealth fighter, it is of course unilaterally transparent on the battlefield. The US military has previously admitted that F-35s have been quietly approached by J-20s. It is not a piece of cake to approach foreign military aircraft covertly. The activities of foreign military aircraft are also supported by early warning aircraft. When our conventional fighter aircraft approaches, the other party may shut down some equipment or run away directly. If the J-20 can follow up quietly, it can solidify evidence of foreign military provocation at a relatively close distance. At the same time, it can also use some portable equipment to collect relevant data on foreign military aircraft reconnaissance equipment.
3. Many people think that the J-20 is large in size. This is actually to take into account my country’s homeland air defense needs. After all, the country is very large, and such a large size means a large amount of fuel and ammunition, which is difficult to deal with foreign affairs. When the military is in a special situation, it has enough combat power to compete with foreign troops and ensure that it will not fall behind and safeguard the honor of the motherland.
4. The J-20 is affectionately called the Big Duck by netizens because of its canard layout. This layout naturally brings excellent low-speed flight performance and can accompany foreign military aircraft at low speeds at large elevation angles. , such as some propeller reconnaissance aircraft. Speaking of this, I recall that when Wang Wei flew the J-8II, it was not easy to do this low-speed maneuver. The foreign military even deliberately caused trouble by lowering the speed to make it more difficult for our fighter planes to accompany the aircraft and give warnings. Now with the J-20, even if the opponent uses a slower aircraft, we can fly face to face with him and give him a direct warning through the cockpit glass.
5. The J-20’s flight control is good, coupled with the excellent maneuverability brought by the above-mentioned canards, our pilots can use creativity to use various fancy movements to defeat the opponent when they ignore our military’s warnings. The other party took the class, used the airflow of two heavy engines to warn the other party to leave quickly, and drove away the foreign military aircraft without any blood.
In short, using the J-20 to drive away foreign reconnaissance aircraft is not a big deal. Sometimes, if you don’t use a heavy hammer, others will really think you are easy to bully. Furthermore, if the foreign army did not come to our doorstep to provoke us first, who would have the time to send such a good fighter plane to play house with you?
