Recently, PakistanAir ForceThe news that the Chief of Staff, Admiral Barber, officially announced that Pakistan would become the first overseas customer of the J-31 attracted widespread attention. Pakistan will introduce J-31 fighters in the near future, which means PakistanAir Forcewill be ahead of India in equipping fifth-generation aircraft, which is regionalMilitaryBalance makes an important difference.
Pakistan is a country that has long been in a state of hostility with India, between the two countriesMilitaryThe competition has always been fierce. Pakistan's introduction of J-31 fighters will greatly enhance itAir Forcestrength, which provides a stronger shield against India's provocations. The J-31 is a heavy-duty multi-purpose independently developed by ChinaFightersIt has excellent performance in stealth capability, air supremacy and other aspects, which can effectively enhance PakistanAir ForceAdvantages of combat.
Faced with the news of Pakistan's introduction of the J-31, India needs to consider a corresponding strategic response. In terms of fighter selection, India has three main options: import from Russia or the United States, or develop its own. However, the self-developed domestic fifth-generation aircraftamcaThe speed of development is slow, the performance is not as expected, and it cannot be compared with the J-31. And imported from the United Statesf-35There are queues and limited quantities, making it difficult to meet India's urgent needs.
Therefore, importing from Russia has become the most reliable option for India. Although India has beenSu-57There were unpleasant experiences at the stage of development of the fighter, but now the situation has changed. Su-57Serial production has already begun, and orders from Russia are limited. If India chooses to introduceSu-57, can be used as a referenceSu-30MKI's maintenance system, even the introduction of production licenses, realizedSu-30Alternative to MKI. Considering India's obsession with independence, it was introducedSu-57can meet its immediate needs.
In addition, the development model of India's aviation industry is very similar to that of China, and they all follow the path of combining introduction and self-development. In terms of introduction, India copied itMiG-21and other models, and license the production of Flanker fighters. In terms of self-development, IndianlcawithamcaUsed with ChinaJ-10withJ-20SameEngineSeries. Although there is a gap in the technological level compared with China, India is still insisting on developing its own fighter planes, showing valuable resilience.
India has shown perseverance in becoming autonomous, both small and large, or including fifth-generation aircraftAircraft carriersand nuclear submarine intercontinental missiles, all of which have their own domestic models. Although the development of these models took a long time and was difficult, the Indians were under pressure and persevered until they were barely able to enter service. This spirit of defying difficulties is admirable.
However, we also need to see the gap between India and China in terms of self-development. China has developed itJ-10withJ-20and other advanced fighters, the quantity and quality have exceeded the expectations of the world. For comparison, India's self-developed fighterslcaHowever, progress has been slow, and some of the performance is not satisfactory. This is also a reflection of China's presenceMilitaryThe rapid development of the technology sector and the inadequacy of India.
Overall, India faces a series of challenges in developing its own and bringing in fighter jets, but their resilience is admirable and worthy of our blessings. Although India is relatively lagging behind in the development of fighter jets, they are trying to catch up, and at the same time, they should also learn from China's development experience and strengthen scientific and technological innovation and independent research and development capabilities to meet the needs of the countryMilitaryThe need for security. Only through sustained efforts will India be able to make greater breakthroughs and achievements on the road of national defense independence.
