In the battle sequence of the Philippine Air Force, the F A-50 light fighter is one of the few military aircraft that can perform air supremacy combat, this is a light fighter purchased from South Korea, in 2023, the F A-50 light fighter of the Philippine Air Force has conducted a simulated confrontation with the F-22 stealth fighter of the US Air Force, according to the Philippine side, the F A-50 light fighter created the result of shooting down the F-22 stealth fighter in this operation, F The A-50 light fighter shot down the F-22 stealth fighter in close combat combat, from the public ** point of view, the F A-50 light fighter shot down the F-22 stealth fighter in close combat, in this simulated air battle, the F A-50 light fighter used infrared combat bombs, but the F-22 stealth fighter did not enter the full stealth state, but on the premise of carrying a drop fuel tank, with the F A-50 light fighter simulated air combat.
After a simulated air battle with the F-22 stealth fighter, the Philippines is now constantly showing off the "results" of the F A-50 light fighter, and even the Philippines is no longer afraid of the J-20 stealth fighter from China. On the day of February 19, according to public information, the United States and the Philippines once again conducted a joint operation, in this joint air operation, the U.S. military dispatched a B-52H strategic bomber from the second island chain ** Andersen Air Force Base, in the B-52H strategic bomber operation, the Philippines sent F A-50 light fighters for air escort, although the United States and the Philippines have carried out more and more joint operations in recent years, But the use of strategic bombers for joint operations is still very rare.
B-52H strategic bomber as one of the three carriages of the U.S. strategic bomber, in recent years, the B-52H strategic bomber has staged a variety of high-intensity actions after being deployed, including operations in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, at the critical moment when the B-52H strategic bomber is constantly approaching, the PLA has also intercepted the U.S. military aircraft, and the PLA has previously dispatched a J-11 heavy fighter to intercept the U.S. B-52H strategic bomber at night, Judging from the information disclosed by the US military, in the process of intercepting US military aircraft at night, the J-11 fighter was only a few meters away from the US bomber, which also made the US military realize that the PLA is not easy to mess with.
The Philippine Air Force dispatched F A-50 light fighters in this joint operation, the purpose of which is to provide air escort to the B-52H strategic bomber, and this F A-50 light fighter, which was boasted of "shooting down" the fifth-generation aircraft, is obviously not afraid of the PLA's J-20 stealth fighter. The J-20 stealth fighter is currently in mass production and manufacturing, and has formed a numerical advantage, compared with the United States F-22 stealth fighter has more late-mover advantages, whether it is in battlefield situational awareness, or in the range of bomb-loaded missiles, J-20 can completely crush the Philippine F A-50 light fighter.
In actual combat situations, the F A-50 light fighter has no chance to get close to the J-20 stealth fighter, the J-20's strong over-the-horizon combat capability can achieve a kill of 100 kilometers away, the F A-50 light fighter continues to show off its results, I am afraid it is also caused by the release of water by the US military, the war research believes that the Philippines should also be careful in the process of dispatching F A-50 light fighters to escort B-52H strategic bombers, the PLA is not easy to provoke, On that day, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) had already responded by dispatching naval and air forces, and air interception must have also appeared, but the United States has not yet made public more details.
