The J-16 fighter is a multi-purpose two-seat twin-engine fighter developed by China's Shenyang Aircraft Company on the basis of the J-11BS fighter, and completed its first flight in 2011. The J-16 fighter can attack at a long distance beyond the visual range, and has strong air and ground strike capabilities, and it is also known as the "Three Musketeers" of the Chinese Air Force together with the J-10C and J-20.
According to relevant data, the maximum load of the J-16 fighter can reach 12 tons, second only to the American F15EX fighter. It has a maximum flight range of more than 4,000 kilometers, a maximum speed of Mach 2, and a combat radius of 1,850 kilometers. The J-16 fighter can carry the Thunderbolt-15 long-range air-to-air missile and the Thunderbolt-10 close-range combat missile. It is reported that in the report on the training of the PLA Air Force on December 2, there is suspected that the J-16 is mounted on the Thunderbolt-17, and the J-16 in the picture is mounted with 10 missiles, which seems to contain the Thunderbolt-17 training missile painted in blue. In this regard, some military fans speculate that the attack distance of the Thunderbolt-17 may reach 400 kilometers.
According to the reference data of the Indian Tejas fighter, it can be concluded that the combat radius of the Tejas fighter is very small compared to the J-16, only 500 km, and the maximum flight speed is 1Mach 8, the maximum flight range is only 1700 kilometers. The Tejas fighter has long been equipped with Russian R-73 combat missiles and Israel's "Strange Snake-5", and it was not until August this year that it began to test-fire India's domestically produced "Astra" over-the-horizon air-to-air missile, with a maximum range of 80 kilometers.
As a light fighter, the Guanghui fighter is not at all an opponent of a heavy fighter like the Chinese J-16, which is reflected in its small fuselage, insufficient engine thrust, and lack of stealth capabilities. The fuselage is too small to be equipped with a large radar, and the detection range is only more than 100 kilometers. It cannot carry heavy missiles, and the strike range is limited. The engine thrust is insufficient, and the American F414 engine used by the Tejas fighter has a thrust of 9980 kg, which is only a medium thrust engine. The Chinese J-16 fighter is a heavy fighter that can be installed with a large active phased array radar with a diameter of up to 1 meter and a detection range of more than 200 kilometers. The J-16 is equipped with two turbofan 10 high-thrust engines, two of which have a thrust of more than 26,000 kg, a flight speed of more than Mach 2, and a maximum range of more than 4,000 kilometers, making the J-16 far more maneuverable than Brilliant, not to mention that the J-16 can also carry the Thunderbolt-17 long-range air-to-air missile, with a maximum range of more than 300 kilometers.
Therefore, the glorious fighter will have no chance of winning the J-16, and it is doomed to only fail as a result. India's glorious fighter is just a ** used by India itself to strengthen its courage.
