What should I do if the J-20 has a dogfight with an enemy aircraft and there is no cannon?People who think about this question are a little overly worried.
The J-20 is the most advanced fighter in service in China's Air Force. Everyone knows that it is a stealth fighter, but there may not be too many people who really understand its characteristics. Let's talk about this topic.
At present, there is no fighter in the world that dares to have a so-called "dog fight" with the J-20. Why?
Don't forget the name of the J-20: ** fighter. Do not forget its role: to seize air supremacy.
The J-20 has strong situational awareness, information confrontation and cooperative combat capabilities when it is difficult to be detected by the opponent's radar. What does this mean?
If the other side does not have a stealth aircraft with similar functions, then the J-20 can perform the mission alone.
The advantage of a fifth-generation stealth aircraft over a non-stealth aircraft, who will fly the plane, who knows. It was a game of cat hunt with a group of people with strong eyesight and hearing who were blindfolded and covered their ears.
Of course, I don't have actual data to support this claim, after all, there is no such thing in reality. You can imagine for yourself what it would be like if the J-20, which has more than a dozen air-to-air missiles, can spot enemy planes outside the visual range and within the range of the missiles, but the enemy planes cannot see it.
Even if the opponent's fleet is very large, exceeding the missile carrying capacity of a single J-20, and their radar is very good and can detect the J-20 in time, then they must be fast enough. It is necessary to catch up with the distance difference caused by the "line-of-sight plus missile range", so as to form a close-range combat situation with the J-20, that is, "dog fight".
How fast the J-20 is, we don't know, but there are still around Mach 2. There are certainly fighters in the world that are faster than it, but whether this speed difference can form the above situation depends not only on what kind of aircraft the other party is, but also on its courage: how does it know that the J-20 has run out of missiles and can only be beaten without a cannon?
Modern fighter jets are expensive, and the kind of aircraft fleets of World War II are not going to fight at every turn.
10. The situation of hundreds of planes is impossible. No country wants to send its fourth- or third-generation fighters out in droves to serve as targets for the J-20, because that is not sustainable.
In actual combat scenarios, the J-20 will most likely not fight alone. It will definitely form an air team in the form of 2-3 aircraft, which will cooperate with each other. In this case, unless the opponent is an aircraft of the same generation and the number is larger than the J-20 team, there is no way to fight back. The level of air-to-air missiles in our country can still be believed.
2-3 J-20s can carry more than 20-30 air-to-air missiles, which is a huge deterrent, and there are probably only a handful of enemy aircraft formations that can compete with them. And these planes are valuable national weapons, and no one is willing to let them go into hand-to-hand combat after the missile is launched.
We won't, and neither will anyone else. Besides, all the missiles of all the planes of a team have run out, so what must have happened?Alien Space Fleet?
There is reason to believe that when an advanced fighter like the J-20 needs to really fight, there will be little brothers like the J-16 and J-10-C to follow. Because that would mean that there is something else to do after seizing air supremacy.
They will stay at a safe distance from the rear, pick up the J-20 to return home, and then go out on their own mission. At this time, suppose that the other party has a group chasing after them, and it happens to fall into the pockets of these little brothers. The J-20's clairmind can tell them how to use their full range of missiles, and they themselves have over-the-horizon combat capabilities.
What if the opposing plane comes too much?On an electronic warfare plane.
In an instant, hundreds of false targets were made to pounce on the other party, and when the other party finally made a clear distinction, this side had already withdrawn. Of course, this scenario is unlikely, because there is also the support of shore-based air defense, the air defense of ships at sea, and the support of additional fighter formations.
The possibility of a "dog fight" in the J-20 stealth fighter is too small, which is why its designers canceled the melee combat ** of the cannon.
Wanting to have a close-range combat with the J-20 is a bit like a front-line soldier wanting to find an artillery duel set up by the other party dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away, which can only be imagined, not realized.
