Russian press secretary Dmitry Peskov gave an interview not long ago, in which he saidThe Russian side is willing to resolve the issue through negotiations
Press Secretary of Russia ** Peskov].
But Ukraine does not seem to want to contain the war in this way, and the "you and me" Russia-Ukraine conflict will continue. At the same time, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has lasted for such a long time, which can be regarded as a case reference for modern warfare for countries around the world.
China is one of themLearned a lot of experience, such as those old-fashioned J-10A and J-11A fightersIt may not be suitable for further service!
China's experience comes mainly from the air battles between the two sides of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, in the early stages of the conflictMost of the airfields of the Ukrainian armyIt was blown up by Russian missiles, and all kinds of aircraft were also involved, and there were not many fixed-wing aircraft that could take off.
The blown up An-225].
Nevertheless, since Ukraine retains most of the available fighters,Air warfare remains an important part of the Russia-Ukraine conflictThis has a considerable degree of reference value.
The main models in the hands of Ukraine areSu-27 and MiG-29 fighters, which belongs to the product of the Cold War period between the United States and the Soviet Union in the last century.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine only carried out simple maintenance and maintenance, and did not do a very good job of upgrading the aircraft.
When these fighters faced off head-to-head with Russia's advanced Su-35, the generation gap was vividly displayed.
For example, inOn March 5, 2022,The Russian Su-35 relied on its strong performance to shoot down 5 Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters of the Ukrainian army.
For Ukraine, it would be harmless for an aging fighter to be shot down, butThe loss of pilots is irreparable.
The longer the fight continues, the clearer the Ukrainian army will beWith their backward fighters, it is almost impossible to confront the Russian army.
After all, the performance gap is there,Take the radar system of the fighter as an example, the radar warning distance of the Su-35 is almost twice that of the Su-27.
Coupled with the former's strong maneuverability and carrying many advanced air-to-air missiles, once the two models collide head-on, the Su-27 has a high probabilitywill be killed in seconds
Therefore, the Su-27 on the battlefield not only did not work, but becameCannon fodder at the forefront,There is no difference with "giving away heads".
Of course, it is undeniable that there are also cases where the Russian Su-35 was shot down.
But as long as you compare the battle losses of Russia and Ukraine on the fighters, you can see it very clearlyThe Ukrainian army is almost three times larger than the Russian army.
Downed Fighters].
At present, the Ukrainian army's MiG-29 fighters are almost exhausted, and the Su-27 fighters are about to bottom out, which is why the United States wants to support Ukrainian F16 fighters.
For Ukraine, if these battle-damaged backward fighters can play a role, the key is that a large part of them areShot down in vain
The situation in China and Ukraine is very similar in one pointThat is among the active Air Force equipment,There are also a large number of "backward" fighters in service.
Among them:J-11A and J-10AAs a typical representative, the J-11A is the model that was assembled in China when China introduced the Su-27 production line and technology, which is equivalent to China's Su-27.
Su-27 purchased by China].
The overall performance of this fighter is not much different from the Su-27 in service in Ukraine, and the internal avionics are still at the level of the 90s of the last century, and the overall fuselage performance is not satisfactory.
According to the contract signed between China and Russia at the beginning, weIt was originally planned to build 200 J-11A fightersLater, because of China's breakthrough in the field of technology, after almost 80 aircraft were built, it began to turn to the research and development of J-11B fighters.
If you count the batch of Su-27 fighters imported by China before, the number of these fighters in our countryProbably more than 100
Another oneThe J-10A fighter is independently developed and produced by ChinaIt used to be the "pride" of China.
From today's point of view, the overall performance of the J-10A fighter is somewhat unsatisfactory.
On the one hand, it is relative to China's current various advanced fighter jetsThe design was early, and a lot of the technology was backward.
On the other hand, the J-10A fighterThe number of pylons is lessCompared with China's active J-16 and J-10C, there is no firepower advantage, plusBackward performance,AbsolutelyIt was replaced by other fighters of our country.
The most important thing is that whether it is a J-10A fighter or a J-11A fighter, it has beenThere's not much upgrade value
At the beginning, Cheng Fei was delivered to the People's Liberation Army before and afterAbout 200 or soof J-10A fighters, counting J-11A fighters, the number of PLA Air Force active forcesProbably more than 300 of themThis is a burden for the Air Force.
Because fighters need to be serviced and maintained in peacetime.
In 2022, Taiwan's defense department disclosed the maintenance cost of the Mirage fighter that has been in service for 25 years. Its budget totals NT$3.5 billion, which is equivalent to:More than 63 million yuan is needed a year(NT$1 is about 0.)22 RMB).
Of course, the maintenance of the J-10A fighter becomes possible not so high, but alsoDefinitely not how lowOver the course of a year, a budget of several hundred million yuan will be spent.
In addition, with the continuous progress of China's fighter manufacturing technology, we are interested in:Mass production of advanced models such as J-16, J-20, and J-10CIt's also going on at the same time.
EspeciallyThe continuous mass production of the J-20,The backward models of the PLA Air Force were gradually replaced.
The emergence of more and more advanced fighters is constantly squeezing the living space of backward fighters, although the J-10A and J-11A fighters are still in service, but over the yearsIt is basically not active in the public eye.
Some of the backward fighters playedThe effect is minimalAfter retirement, it will not affect the combat strength of the Chinese Air Force too much, and at the same time, it can also give more room for development to advanced fighters, so why not?
Of course, some friends may think that by stockpiling these fighters, we will have a numerical advantage when the war starts in the future.
Actually, no, modern warfare has already been foughtIt's no longer a simple "quantity issue".RatherComprehensive information-based operations.
The reason is actually very simple: now that air-to-air missiles are so developed, advanced fighters can often carry out firepower strikes from a long distance, making the enemy unable to defend against them.
As for the backward fighters, justIt can only be a live target, pull to the battlefieldHardly anything.
