Domestic fighters are rising rapidly! The J 20A stealth fighter will be retired from active service

Mondo Military Updated on 2024-02-15

Six years after the J-20A stealth fighter was installed, Zhongzhi successfully realized the localization of aviation development equipment, which means that the J-20A will get rid of the originally installed Russian-made AL-31FN-M1 engine and move towards more independent and advanced engine technology, marking the rapid development of China's independent research and development fighter combat power. The J-20A stealth fighter is the focus of pride of Chinese fans, and it is also the core strength of China's air fighters. It has a strong comprehensive combat strength of UAV cooperative operations and coordinated operations with J-16D electronic warfare aircraft and other fighters, and has excellent performance, and can play a significant air combat power in various battlefield missions. With the ability of the Chinese industry to rapidly promote technology upgrading, the J-20A began to usher in the renewal of new fighters after six years of service, of which the J-20B fighter as a new model, after optimization attempts, the overall performance has been significantly improved.

The J-20A stealth fighter deployed in the early days is not the most advanced air superiority model, and it is equipped with a Russian-made AL-31FN-M1 engine, which is Russian-made and even less powerful than the turbofan 10 domestic engine independently developed by China. Although the model is the same, the J-20A has been adjusted to have a more powerful power system, and there are significant differences in endurance, instantaneous reaction and air combat performance. The initial design of the fighter often needs to be optimized, and the J-20A has achieved a significant performance improvement after replacing it with a domestic aviation engine China core. In terms of aerial confrontation and rapid combat response, the aircraft can achieve more precise control, which allows Chinese fighters to seize fighters more quickly, and sometimes even change the situation of the war and determine the course of the war when the enemy has not reacted. China's independent research and development in powertrain is a very important step.

The J-20A and the later J-20B, which replaced the new domestic aviation development equipment WS-15, showed a more powerful upgrade, and the difference brought by this generation made the J-20B more flexible and decisive combat power. Compared with the Russian-made engine, the new domestic aviation development equipment WS-15 has greater thrust, expands the flight area, and greatly improves the ability to resist the enemy during the operation. Six years later, China successfully replaced all the engine equipment imported from abroad with domestic aviation engine equipment, which made the Chinese Air Force truly realize the "Chinese core", and also enabled the Chinese industry to independently control and achieve the goal of freedom of technological upgrading.

At present, the overall number of J-20s exceeds 200 aircraft, and the annual production capacity is capped at 120 aircraft. Because the fine parts of the J-20 need to be manually proofread and polished, the production speed is limited, and it takes more than ten days to assemble a fighter even when it is in full operation. Although the design of the fifth-generation stealth fighter is more complex, China has deployed more than 200 J-20s, forming an initial combat force. The stealth capability of the J-20 makes the enemy feel terrified, especially when fighting in conjunction with the J-16D electronic warfare aircraft, the J-20 is easier to maintain stealth in the enemy's radar and reconnaissance range, making it difficult to be detected. This is a headache for Western countries, especially the United States, because as a fifth-generation air fighter, if the J-20 can better lurk and launch an attack by surprise, it will make it difficult for the enemy to defend against it, thereby increasing our ability to strike and destroy the enemy.

China has shown amazing strength in terms of the speed of development and technical support of domestic fighters. In the early days, China imported some old fighters from the Soviet Union, which were limited by relatively backward technology. In the research and development of fighter aircraft, China has embarked on the path of imitating advanced technology and gradually innovating. By learning and drawing on the advantages of imported fighters, making up for its own shortcomings, and at the same time increasing the intensity of independent innovation, China has obtained a number of patented technologies, which has become a model of latecomer advantage. In the field of fighter aircraft, aero engines are crucial as a core component. China has successfully realized the localization of aviation development equipment, which is an important milestone that marks the development of more independent and advanced engine technology for the J-20 and other fighters. As the latest model after upgrading, the J-20B has shown more powerful performance in many aspects, providing stronger support for China's air force in air defense pressure and provocation, sea and air operations and other aspects.

The improvement of the J-20B fighter marks a remarkable achievement in technological innovation and military modernization of the Chinese Air Force. In this process, the company not only achieved a leap from imitation to independent innovation, but also successfully replaced imported engine equipment to ensure the reliability and performance of the fighter.

The replacement of the WS-15, a domestically produced aviation development equipment, not only marks China's technological breakthrough in the military field, but also further enhances the overall combat effectiveness of the Chinese Air Force. Compared with the Russian-made engine, the new aviation engine WS-15 has greater thrust, which makes the J-20 fighter more flexible and powerful in combat. The successful application of this self-developed aviation development equipment has not only won a reputation for the field of Chinese industry, but also allowed the squadron to have greater autonomy and strategic advantages in future wars.

The development of the J-20 fighter also reflects China's firm determination in military technology research. In the past, China may have relied on imported fighter jets and technology, but now it has been able to independently develop and produce advanced equipment that meets international standards. This capability enhancement not only has a far-reaching impact on national defense and security, but also provides strong support for China to play a more important role in international affairs.

After six years of service with the J-20, China's military industry has achieved an important goal of independence, which is not only a technological leap, but also a reflection of national strength. Through independent research and development of aviation development equipment, the company not only meets the needs of national defense, but also lays the foundation for technological progress in other fields.

Overall, the J-20 fighter's localized aviation engine equipment marks a key victory for the Chinese Air Force in the modernization process. This milestone event will stimulate the greater innovation potential of the Chinese industry and lay a solid foundation for the improvement of the national and military strength. In future military development, China is expected to continue to be at the forefront of technological innovation and make more important contributions to world peace and security.
