Emotional! J-10CE vs Typhoon: Who is better in the battle for fighters?
Recently, a piece of news caused an uproar on the Internet: the J-10CE fighter defeated the Typhoon fighter with an absolute advantage of 9:0 in a certain air combat exercise! When I first saw the news, there was a strong sense of doubt and dissatisfaction in my heart. How is this possible? This is simply ridiculous! In today's fighter confrontation, how can a J-10CE defeat a Typhoon fighter with such an overwhelming advantage? This is definitely a "fake at first glance" drama!
I thought deeply about this issue and spent some time reading foreign media reports. The results showed that although there were reports of victory in the J-10CE in the exercises, there was no mention of such an absolute result as 9:0. These reports simply say that the J-10CE has defeated the Typhoon fighter several times, but there is no specific data to support it. What's more, these reports are not published by official accounts, but only from a few personal accounts in Pakistan. Therefore, I remain skeptical about the veracity of this news.
But even so, we have to admit that the J-10CE has indeed shown great strength, enough to compete with the Qatari Air Force equipped with Typhoon fighters in air combat. This should not be overlooked. Let's compare the performance and characteristics of these two fighters.
First, let's look at the Typhoon fighter. Designed by Eurofighter and integrated with advanced technology from various European countries, this fighter is considered one of the best fighters of the 4th generation. Equipped with a ramjet engine and Meteor missiles, the Typhoon fighter has certain advantages in long-range air combat. However, its long-coupled canard design has certain shortcomings, which need to be compensated for by the addition of auxiliary equipment. In contrast, the J-10CE adopts a close-coupled canard wing design, which has a lower wing load and may be better in instantaneous maneuverability.
However, the performance of the fighter is not the only determining factor. The skill level and tactical choice of the pilot are equally crucial. While the Qatari Air Force is unlikely to send rookies to the exercise, even highly skilled pilots are unlikely to be "0 blocked" in hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, the result of 9:0 is obviously exaggerated.
In addition, we need to consider the equipment of fighters and missile radar technology. Although the J-10CE and the Typhoon fighter do not have obvious advantages and disadvantages in terms of radar and missiles, on the whole, the Typhoon fighter may have a slight advantage. However, this is not enough to explain the results of 9:0, because missile and radar technology are not the decisive factors.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that in any case, we should be proud that the J-10CE was able to achieve victory in the confrontation with the Typhoon fighters. The J-10CE represents the development level and technical strength of China's aviation industry, and is a banner of China's aviation industry. Even in the confrontation with the world's advanced fighters, the J-10CE can show strong strength, which is undoubtedly an affirmation of China's aviation industry.
In addition, we cannot ignore the positive impact of such a victory on the international popularity and export prospects of the J-10CE. At a time when Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Arab countries generally want to strengthen trade cooperation with China, the performance of the J-10CE will further consolidate the position of China's aviation industry in the international market. Therefore, even if the Typhoon fighter cannot be completely crushed, the small victory of the J-10CE is enough to make us proud and satisfied.
To sum up, although the results of 9:0 are incredible, we can still see the strong strength of the J-10CE and the development achievements of China's aviation industry. Although the J-10CE failed to dominate the world, its combat effectiveness is indeed worthy of our admiration and praise. In the future, let us look forward to more wonderful performances of the first machine on the international stage!
