Diaoyu Islands in a dramatic escalation of the situation: the F-20 advance orders of the CMC service

-20 F has an unparalleled advantage of three generations of aircraft, stealth only let the enemies catch up

The United States finally started to intervene in the Sino-Japanese dispute over the Diaoyu Islands. In a speech in Washington on December 18 last year, U.S. Defense Secretary Panetta mentioned, in 2017 in Japan, U.S. troops will begin to deploy F-35 "Lightning" fighter base in Iwakuni base, which will be the F-35 The first deployment. Iwakuni base is located in the southern part of Honshu Island, Japan, for the United States Marine Corps and the United Self-Defense Forces bases, F-35 stationed, the Diaoyu Islands and Shanghai will be in its combat radius.

F-35 is a fifth-generation fighter in the true sense, enjoys the reputation of the "world fighter combat radius of more than a thousand kilometers, built-in 25-mm cannon and four air-to-air missile, also can be mounted smart bombs and missiles.

However, outside of the F-35's combat effectiveness as well as R & D progress quite challenged, the F-35 project dragged on to become the most expensive fighter aircraft from the cheapest fighter, even foreign media referred to as the world's largest fishing The fish project ", seems to be in with its reputation in the bad behavior.

So far, the U.S. Air Force fact, only a small amount of several aircraft the F-35 Air Force type used in the test, it is reported, even such a small amount of fighter pilot project "premature children, or did not complete.

However, this gave a stimulant in Japan's new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, had promised before the election, will China head on the Diaoyu Islands issue, and the day of the election and to express that the Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan, "there is no room for negotiation! "speech. Japan's tough behind precisely because of the US-Japan security agreement, Panetta's remarks almost be Abe certainly support.

In this connection, the People's Liberation Army experts said that China simply is no fear in the F-35 fighter, in fact, well aware of the operational performance of the F-22, but no open space People's Liberation Army targeted killer the American Psychological most understand, or else how can you bear the cost of on billions of F-22 project abandoned and re-open a new furnace. In fact, China -20 F is for F-22 was developed, and the F-35, let alone.

It has been revealed that the F -20 since January 11, 2011 after a successful maiden flight has been numerous public and secret test flight, the progress of the experiment, can be said to have more than the F-35, the most critical is the engine, but the Taihang The air of the engine performance has been in full compliance with the operational requirements, and only in the period of use not meet the requirements.

According to Russian intelligence said Taihang engine only 300 hours, but this is enough in wartime, especially modern war, protracted war era can not happen enough.

Sources said the Central Military Commission has given as fly high expectations, flying into the central guarantee, is expected to -20 F will advance service, the latest in 2015 will not exceed, and this is nothing but gossip, but I prefer to believe , not to say self-confidence, is Chinese too low-key, even -20 F in service tomorrow, are not open today!
