When talking about the most advanced fighter jets in the world, we have to mention the fifth-generation stealth fighters developed by China, the United States and Russia. The fifth-generation stealth fighters developed by these three countries crush the traditional fourth-generation fighters in terms of performance, but there are also some differences in performance between them. China's J-20 and the U.S. F22 have been the focus of online debate, as they are both top fighter models in their respective countries, making it difficult to distinguish between them. However, the recent maiden flight of the Chinese J-20B fighter shocked the world.
China has not only successfully developed the world's first "5 and a half generation" stealth fighter, but has also surpassed the American F22 in terms of engines and avionics systems. After the first flight of the Chinese J-20B fighter, it was equipped with the most advanced turbofan-15 aero engine made in China, which made the J-20B fighter more outstanding in performance. The maximum thrust of the turbofan-15 aero engine is expected to surpass that of the F119 engine used in the F22, providing up to 40 tons of thrust for the J-20B, further improving flight performance.
In terms of avionics systems, the J-20B fighter far surpasses the American F22, and the design of the American F22 fighter is already a product of 20 30 years ago, and compared with the J-20, there is at least a whole generation of gap. The advanced avionics technology used in the J-20 fighter is completely absent from the American F22, not to mention the J-20B, which is known as the 5th generation semi-stealth fighter. It is worth mentioning that, according to relevant sources, the J-20B fighter can even guide and command the attack-11 UAV in the future to form an unmanned small commando.
It can be said that China's J-20B stealth fighter has been shown to the world in a completely new attitude. It uses the most advanced aviation industry technology in China at present, and its performance is more advanced than that of the earlier J-20A. In this regard, now the gap should be that traditional military powers such as the United States and Europe are waiting, and not we, China. In general, China's aviation industry has made great progress in a short period of time, and the advent of the J-20B fighter marks a leap forward in the field of military technology for China, and also brings new variables to the world military landscape.
The unmanned sci-fi battlefield of the future may no longer be a distant dream, and China is likely to be the forerunner of this change.
