The latest introduction of the J-10CE fighter by the Pakistan Air Force has attracted widespread attention. This kind of 4The appearance of the fifth-generation fighter has not only greatly improved the equipment level of the Pakistan Air Force, but also improved its anti-ship capability in the far sea to a certain extent. The reason why this fighter is in the spotlight,
One of the important reasons for this is that it can carry the advanced YJ-12 heavy anti-ship missile. This news has sparked heated discussions. In general, it is not common for fighters to carry such heavy anti-ship missiles, which makes one wonder:
Why would Pakistan choose to let the J-10 carry such a heavy missile?What is the reason behind this?First, we need to understand Pakistan's air and sea capabilities. To date, the Pakistani Navy has not been equipped with destroyers, let alone aircraft carriers. When fighting anti-ship operations in the far seas,
Pakistan can only rely on submarines and frigates. Therefore, the Pakistan Air Force needs to have sufficient anti-ship capabilities to supplement the deficiencies of the Navy. Although the Thunder fighter has become a sharp weapon for the Pakistan Air Force's anti-ship operations in the far sea, considering the larger bomb load of the J-10 series
It is also understandable to let it carry such a missile as the YJ-12. Although the bomb load of the J-10 series is limited, the 36 heavy anti-ship missiles carried by the 36 J-10 fighters are more than enough to deal with the Indian aircraft carrier battle group. This raised concerns about the Indian aircraft carrier formation.
The air defense of the Indian aircraft carrier group mainly relies on two types of shield ships, the Kolkata class and the Visakhapatnam class, which carry anti-aircraft missiles with a range of only 100 kilometers. And the range of the YJ-12A can reach 500 km, and possibly even more.
This means that the J-10CE can launch heavy anti-ship missiles outside the air defense network of the Indian aircraft carrier group, easily sinking India's air defense ships. India's aircraft carrier fleet will face serious challenges, which will also force the Indian side to reassess the threat to Pakistan.
This move is a big victory for Pakistan and a demonstration of its progress in anti-ship warfare capabilities in the far seas. It is worth mentioning that the equipment of the J-10CE fighter further highlights China's technical strength and equipment level in the field of aviation.
China's aviation industry has made great strides in just a few decades, as evidenced by the appearance of the J-10CE fighter. This also makes people look forward to China's future development in the aviation field, and are full of expectations for its future aviation equipment. In general,
The news that the J-10CE fighter jet carries the YJ-12 heavy anti-ship missile has raised concerns about the Pakistan Air Force, India's aircraft carrier formation, and China's aviation industry. This move not only enhances Pakistan's anti-ship capabilities in the far seas,
It also made people re-understand China's technological strength in the field of aviation. With the changes in the international situation and technological innovation, the development of aviation equipment is bound to bring new changes to the world pattern. Looking forward to the future, looking forward to more surprises.
