In the eyes of many people, in science fiction films, there will be an unmanned fighter jet, and an unmanned fighter jet will start a fierce battle in the sky. And now, with a high degree of probability, such a scenario will appear first in China.
Not long ago, CCTV conducted an exclusive interview with the famous Air Force "Wang Hai Brigade", and in a paragraph published by CCTV, we also saw a flat board.
This is nothing, after all, it is very common for any country to use electronic equipment such as tablets to assist the electronic systems of aircraft, and there are even Su-27 pilots who hang their ** in the sky and use them to shoot the ** of other aircraft. However, on the most advanced and advanced J-20 in China, equipped with a tablet, it makes some sense.
So, as China's most cutting-edge fighter, the pilot of the J-20 fighter, why use a tablet? The author believes that this new concept of air combat, that is, the "faithful wingman", has become a reality in our first team.
The term "loyal wingman" was first proposed by the United States, and it means that in a future war, a human warfighter will command a large drone force, not an ordinary warplane. Currently, the United States, Russia, as well as a number of other countries are studying this. And the tablet shown by the Chinese pilot is most likely used to control drones!
It is conceivable that when a J-20 is put into the battlefield, a J-20 is equivalent to a fleet, which includes an offensive type, a ground combat one, an unmanned aircraft, and a patrol missile fleet, and the combat effectiveness of this fleet is much stronger than that of a fifth-generation aircraft, and it undoubtedly occupies an absolute advantage in air combat.
Further down, it is also possible for larger aircraft to carry smaller ones (Russia is working on the S-70, which is one of the largest in the world). Obviously, after the fifth-generation aircraft has the ability of "loyal wingman", it will subvert the traditional way of fighting, and this will also become the mainstream of future warfare.
And now, according to relevant departments, China's J-16 fighter has been able to fly the FQ-2 to carry out anti-air combat, this kind of high technology, can also be applied to the fifth generation of ** fighters! If the ability to control the drone is transferred to the tablet, then the pilot's control will become simpler and more convenient for combat, which is a very advantageous thing.
From this it can be seen that our Air Force, in terms of modern air combat, is ahead of the world, which makes the author extremely proud.
