The United States and Russia Sarkozy shocked: Chinese J-20 fighter production could be so much

Today the world's fourth generation fighter benchmark U.S. F22. "4S" standard mark as a four-generation machine, the U.S. military unprecedented high index reflects the idea of ​​a the pursuit "4S" standard balanced development in the F22 body.

R & D F35 based on low-cost (relatively F22) policy on the "4S" trade-offs, is slashing the supersonic cruise, and then weaken high mobility, and some easing in the occult performance.

F22 as the top four generations of fighter, epitomizes the scientific and technological strength and industrial power of the United States, the world second to none in the foreseeable number of years. Of course, the top price is also huge, F22 fighter can "burn" the most in the world to date for its biggest problem is the manufacturing cost and the use of cost are extremely high, even can be opened to eliminate seven or eight hundred billion U.S. dollars annually U.S. troops are not a lot of equipment.

Lead to the lack of the amount of equipment to compensate for the F22 astronomical, Americans are induced the nine allies on the world to raise funds to develop a relatively inexpensive, natural performance is not so top F35.

R & D with "4S" indicators advanced fighter is not only costly, more difficult on a technical level, top F22, or slightly inferior to the F35, is long-suffering to the successful development of (F35 from the service quite a long over a distance).

However, this does not mean that other countries do not may be developed to conceal indicators as the core standard four-generation fighter to prepare for the U.S. military F22 (F35 and B-2) the "occult intimidation four-generation fighter (the Russians called the four generations or the Five Dynasties, does not matter).

2011 is destined to be one of the world aviation industry about the highlights of the four-generation fighter frequency is the Year:

From the United States eventually stop procurement F22, F35 worth doubled.

From Japan, Korea announced to start the four-generation fighter R & D, to the Russians suddenly high-profile test flight four-generation fighter T50.

The publicity from the Russian side will be shared with the Indian T50 development to India announced their own R & D medium Five Dynasties machine program.

Let the world but the most shocking was announced without warning by the network "leak" China is indeed a four-generation fighter program, and before and after half a month "leak" of four generations of the taxi test and flight test video (there are massive photo). Not only an anti-the past decades fighter openly, the timing is even more interesting!

If Russia is a foreshadowing of MiG and Sukhoi failed over the past ten years a number of projects with great fanfare, Russia finally become the world's second substantive progress in research and development of four generations of fighters country by flight test T50. Economic strength, technological strength Sri Lanka is relatively weak (Russia - still less than the United States), to ensure the success of the premise of the whole force of the past ten years, quietly expand their four-generation fighter R & D, and the general made considerable progress with Russia.

Obviously, by the national scientific and technological power, industrial power, especially financial constraints, Sri Lanka, Russia T50 and Chengdu in China four generations (Internet users called the F-20, the following borrowed code to facilitate narrative) fighter, will certainly not impossible fully catch up with the F22. Russia and China, according to the country's financial, technical reserves, industrial level indicators on each of four generations of machines "4S" a reasonable trade-off, and strive to develop a closest top F22 air combat performance, certainly better than the F35 The four generations of fighters.

Prima facie, the Chinese F-20 choice with Russian T50 indicators in the design and development of four generations of machines "4S" center of gravity is different, but did their best to give full play to their technical advantages.

The Russian T50 seems to the occult performance and high mobility performance on the first level, supersonic cruise performance and information warfare capabilities came in the second level.

Four generations seems high mobility and information warfare capabilities ranked first, concealing performance among the two, the supersonic cruise seems to be ranked in the final.

This may be the respective weaknesses of the practice, but is more likely to have more cognitive differences in the results of their respective countries combat system as a critical subsystems performance fighters with "4S".

Four generations even if the first flight, it still is a dense fog, and to seven, eight years later, into the military service does not decrypt. Therefore, the overall view of China's fourth generation fighter can only be established on analysis in appearance:

High maneuverability. F-20 can be sure if the The "Taihang increase push, with its unique aerodynamic layout and operation of surface, existing mobility all fighters in the world, far more than in addition to other than the F22 to be" Taihang "vector push installed F22 gap significantly narrowing. Therefore, the mobility aspect is when a part of the F-20 and F22 the smallest gap.

Information warfare capabilities. The F-20 will be equipped with state-of-the-art phased array fire control radar and powerful onboard computer as the core of the tactical data link, both integrated into the AWACS air situation in the network, to the machine as the core of tactical information with three generations of the same airspace , even second-generation + fighter Sharing the resources of the air situation. Overall, F-20 and F22 the second part with the smallest gap.

The misprision of performance. China's fourth generation machine in front of the RCS estimated between 0.1-0.3 m, weaker than the F22, but stronger than the F35. Now it seems that the F-20 the infrared the concealment performance with F22 the gap may more. Supersonic cruise performance. Limited to the high-performance engine, despite the aerodynamic design of the F-20 aircraft's maximum level flight speed of more than M1.8, but the ability to maintain fighter M1.4 over cruise tens of minutes to be seen.

Airborne weapons. F-20 air combat weapon performance and technical level, with F22 gap in a level very small. The open space load is estimated to be at least not less than F35, better than the F22.

Generally speaking, the F-20 may be able to have the equivalent of 90% of the force F22 war, compared with T50, almost the same.

The F-20 will obviously be the most expensive fighter ever in China, in terms of total output of 300, it is estimated that the unit price of the F-20 will reach 400 million yuan, about 2 times that of the F-11B. Of course, if the yield is less, then the unit price will be higher.

F-20 combat applications. Purely from the view of a four-generation fighter seems the F-20 is superior opponents contend F22, however, even that The primary combat object of the F-20 is similar to E-2, E-3, E-8 and the class system node target, and only then F22. Given the expensive cost of production and use, the F-20 the number of China's necessarily limited play to the exceptional performance of the four generations of machines, knock down the enemy C4ISR system protraction deployment commenced in order to maximize the effectiveness of the AWACS platform, even if it is tough, such as the F22 also it will turn into a "semi-deaf and half blind" griffin ", not to mention the other such as F35 and below the level of three generations of aircraft combat capability decline.

Along with the FT-5 small precision-guided munitions in China has become more sophisticated, the F-20 aircraft carrier threat will also play its special warfare forces.

Concealing superior performance can be predicted aircraft in China will soon be extended to the bombers, carrier-based aircraft, the UAV field, not the F-20 to open a window, but a door.
