Prior to this, in the contest between the J-10CE and the "Typhoon" fighters, our side gave the two sides roughly the same conclusion in terms of technology. In over-the-horizon air combat, the J-10CE has some technological advantages because it is a fighter with semi-stealth performance, and is equipped with a more advanced active phased array and Thunder-15 missiles.
The "Meteor" missiles on the "Typhoon" fighters are also very powerful, and even the J-10CE has an absolute upper hand. In terms of hand-to-hand combat, the J-10CE and the "Typhoon" are both short-range coupling types, but the former is a short-range coupling type, while the type is a long-range type.
In terms of aerodynamic design, the J-10CE has stronger instantaneous headspace performance, and the "Typhoon" has stronger hovering performance because it is equipped with a more advanced EJ200 engine. Because both of them are steel helmet-type display devices and large off-axis missiles, the victory in air combat depends to a large extent on their flying skills and tactical standards.
Recently, some social ** accounts in Pakistan released the final result of the military confrontation drill of Islam-friendly countries: 9:0. The J-10CE has a ground and short-range score of 4:0 and 5:0 respectively, so it can be said that the J-10 CE gave the Typhoon fighter a dismount. Of course, this news was only published by a few small ** accounts in Pakistan.
Generally speaking, if the main fighters of the two countries are conducting confrontation exercises, then it is unlikely that it will be officially announced. Among them is a Pakistani news report that the gap between the Thunder and Rafale has reached 6:2, but this is only a rumor.
So, how can you look at the results of this confrontation to be credible?
First of all, Pakistan is in a special situation, and it must prove to the Arab world that it has a strong force in order to be financially supported. This military exercise is available in all countries, but the nature is completely different. Just like the Eagle Strike of China and Pakistan, it is a real combat training, and it is also a systematic actual combat training. China took this opportunity to engage in an exchange of air war with Pakistan, so Pakistan finally purchased J-10 CE fighters. China and Thailand held an air force confrontation exercise, also intended to exchange J-10CE fighters.
For Pakistan, however, the key to high-level air training with its friendly Islamic State is to demonstrate its capabilities before receiving more military funding. Therefore, Pakistan's news **, if you want to show off your strength, it is impossible, and when they have achieved results, it will be more reasonable to promote them through **. For the Pakistani state's media outlets, it is not convenient to evaluate the conflict between the two sides because of the confidential agreement signed by the two sides.
Secondly, the debut of the J-10CE achieved an overwhelming victory on the "Typhoon", and it was also more rational in terms of technology. We do not believe that the Typhoon fighter does not have advantages, but it also has its advantages. Take the "Hurricane" EJ200 as an example, it uses 10 times the thrust, mounted equipment, supersonic flight ability, and continuous turning ability, which are better than the J-10CE.
For example, the Hurricane's captor, the E-type, is also an active phased antenna, which integrates more than 1,000 transceiver elements and has a large detection area because it is an active array. In contrast, the J-10CE has more TR parts and a larger detection range, and the performance of both can be described as different. However, in over-the-horizon air combat, the J-10CE has semi-stealth capabilities, while the Thunder-15 has a large non-flight area, so it still has a certain upper hand.
Even in close combat, the J-10CE can lock on to the target in a short time, and with the air-to-air missiles of the Thunder-10 E, the "Typhoon" can be knocked down in one attack. It can be said that the combination of the large off-axis ejection performance of air-to-air missiles and the display screen of steel helmets has completely changed the rules of competition in close combat. Under such conditions, it is difficult for the hovering function of the "typhoon" to have a great effect.
In addition, the duck wings of the "Typhoon" are long-range coupled, while the J-10CE is closely coupled with models such as Rafale, which has a higher degree of static instability and better subsonic maneuverability.
The Pakistan Air Force has a very high level of technical and tactical standards, which is also a big reason. Previously, the Pakistan Air Force's "Thunder" Block2 fighter and the Qatari Air Force's "Gale" had a "6 to 2" contest, and the performance of the "Thunder" was far lower than that of the "Gale". The "Typhoon" fighter is similar to the J-10CE in terms of technical level, but Pakistani pilots can make full use of the advantages of the J-10CE, which is also the consistent style of the Pakistani Air Force.
In general, we have to wait for more official information from Pakistan about the contest between the J-10CE and the Typhoon fighters, but it will be difficult to get it in the short term due to the secret agreement. In this context, Pakistan's social ** can also serve as an important reference, after all, it is pointless to boast in the air.
