This is not a dry report on hard power, but a bloody story about China's rise. We often say that history is the best teacher, but in this journey, China is not only Xi learning from history, but also writing its own legend.
Time flies, and behind a fighter plane carries China's crisis and determination. Looking back, let's go back to an exciting time when in 1989, when China reached an agreement with the Soviet Union to introduce three Su-27 fighter jets.
This is not just a simple transaction, but a key step towards China's glory. Let's focus on this moment and uncover the story behind it.
How did China get three Su-27 fighters?
This history, like an oil painting, is complex and deep. The Soviet Union was under pressure on defense spending, and in order to alleviate the economic crisis, they decided to carry out large-scale arms exports. At the same time, China's air force is stuck in the dilemma of old fighters and urgently needs to introduce new fighters to improve combat effectiveness.
So, under the resonance of this demand, China and the Soviet Union reached an agreement on the introduction. Each Su-27 costs up to $55 million, which is almost 10 times the size of an aircraft. This is not a small amount, but for China, it is not just a cost, it is a historic choice.
Su-27: a turning point for the Chinese Air Force.
The arrival of the Su-27, like a clear stream, completely changed the face of the Chinese Air Force. The overall performance of this fighter is not inferior to that of any Western fighter, with excellent supersonic maneuverability, advanced avionics systems, and powerful air combat payload capabilities.
Not only that, the Soviet Union not only provided finished fighters, but also handed over the complete production line technology of the Su-27 to China. This is undoubtedly an epoch-making technology transfer. China is no longer just passively accepting, but able to develop and produce independently, just like the process of an apprentice becoming a master.
A technological leap triggered by the Su-27.
All along, the Chinese Air Force was at the stage of introduction and imitation, but the arrival of the Su-27 broke the situation. By absorbing and digesting the technology of the Su-27, China has gradually formed its own independent design and manufacturing capabilities. This is not just a superficial thing, but a deep understanding and accumulation of technology.
This history of technological leap has not only directly improved the combat capability of the Chinese Air Force, but also made China gradually rank among the world's most advanced. The arrival of the Su-27 is like a seed that takes root in the Chinese soil and becomes the starting point for the vigorous development of China's aviation industry.
China: Technological metamorphosis from J-11 to J-16.
The introduction of the Su-27 is not the end, but a new starting point. On this basis, China is not satisfied with direct use, but has begun to independently develop domestic fourth-generation aircraft. The successful development of the J-11 fighter marks that China has initially mastered the core technology of the first-class fighter and broke the image of a "chaser" for many years.
Not only that, China has carried out independent research and development and improvement in key areas such as power and avionics, and launched the J-16 heavy fighter. This fighter not only adopts China's self-designed vector engine to improve thrust and reliability, but also has carried out a significant domestic upgrade in the avionics system.
This is not only a technological upgrade, but also the rise of China's autonomy in the aviation industry. From the Su-27 to the J-11 to the J-16, the technological leap of this series of models has enabled China to achieve the goal of catching up and surpassing in the field of heavy fighters.
The Rise of China: The Changing Times from the Su-27 to the J-20.
The Su-27 made the J-11, and the J-11 laid the foundation for China's aviation industry. On this basis, China finally developed today's J-20, a fifth-generation stealth fighter. Compared to the Su-27 more than 30 years ago, this is simply a distance of two eras.
The development trajectory of China's heavy fighters has unconsciously achieved a historic leap from following to leading. The acquisition of the Su-27 has undoubtedly become a key "accelerator" for China to achieve this leap, which not only directly improves the combat capability of the Air Force, but also allows China to obtain a valuable technology and experience base for the development of domestically produced fourth-generation aircraft.
This is not only an article about fighters, but also an epic record of the take-off of China's aviation industry. The arrival of the Su-27 is not only a sign of China's rise, but also the beginning of China's independent innovation. In the future, China's aviation industry will continue to catch up and write its own legend. In this long history, a fighter plane changed everything, let us witness China's glorious moment.
The Flame of China's Rise: The Journey from Su-27 to J-20.
China: synonymous with challenge and hard work.
Along the way, China's rise has not been without its challenges. At the same time as the introduction of the Su-27, China is facing many difficulties and challenges. Not only do you need to adapt to new technologies, but you also have to face international pressure and external skepticism. In those days, we could be said to have endured hardships, but under this pressure, our aviation industry forged indestructible resilience.
J-11: The pride of China's own design.
The successful development of the J-11 is like a rebirth of the Chinese Air Force. This fighter is not only the inheritance of the Su-27, but also the pride of China's aviation industry. In the process, China is no longer a mere apprentice, but has begun to stand alone on its own aviation stage.
It wasn't an easy journey. From the Su-27 to the J-11, we have experienced the tortuous development of technology, and we have paid sweat and painstaking efforts. But it is this persistence that has gradually turned China's aviation dream into reality. Under the wings of the J-11, China began to shed the hat of "chaser" and spread its wings high.
J-16: The Rise of Chinese Power.
With the success of the J-11, China did not stop there. The research and development of the J-16 is another leap forward in China's technological strength. This fighter is not only an upgrade of the J-11, but also China's independent innovation in the field of power and avionics.
During this period, China's aviation industry gradually transitioned from imitation to innovation. We began to break the name of "cottage" and embarked on the road of "independent research and development". The successful development of the J-16 not only enhances China's military strength, but also announces to the world that China's aviation industry has emerged and stands at the forefront of technological innovation.
J-20: The first wing of the Chinese Air Force.
Now, we have ushered in the era of the J-20. This is a magnificent pinnacle of China's aviation industry. From the Su-27 to the J-20, it seems that through several centuries, China has stood on the commanding heights of world aviation.
The design of the J-20 highlights China's huge leap in air force technology. This is not just a fighter, but also the crystallization of Chinese innovation. In this process, we have overcome one technical difficulty after another, not only possessing advanced technology, but also demonstrating the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese.
The immortal legend of China's rise.
The Su-27 is just the beginning, and the J-20 is the future. The rise of China is no longer just the rise of fighter planes, but also the rise of a nation and a country. The introduction of the Su-27 is just a catch-up, but China has written a brilliant legend with unremitting efforts.
In the process, we have paid sweat and laughter. Every breakthrough is a challenge to oneself, and every success is a declaration to the world. China's aviation industry is like a galloping horse, breaking through the wind and not afraid of dangers.
We are no longer the China of the past, and can only follow in the footsteps of others. Today, we are China, leading the trend and determining the rhythm. The rise of China's aviation industry is no longer a dream, but a reality.
The introduction of the Su-27 is just a seed, and today's China is like a thriving forest. This is not the end, but a new beginning. In the future, China's aviation industry will continue to shine on the global stage and create more surprises and miracles for the world. This is an epic that belongs to us, a journey of China's rise.
