The Flying Leopard-J-7 is a representative model of the Chinese Air Force, which was once our main force and the pride of our aviation industry. Due to its super anti-ship power, it has become the best in naval warfare, and it is also an expert specializing in anti-warship operations.
The anti-ship nature of the Flying Leopard Fighter No. 7 has the following characteristics:
Loading capacity: "Flying Leopard" - "J-7" can carry a maximum of 6 tons of ammunition, far exceeding the J-20. YJ-62, YJ-83, YJ-12, YJ-12 and other types of anti-ship missiles have long-range and high-precision attack functions. The Flying Leopard 7 is capable of carrying out long-range attacks on the enemy outside of the enemy's defense system, thereby reducing its own threat.
Flight Control System: The Flying Leopard-7 is an advanced airborne radar and fire control device capable of high-precision targeting and tracking in the ocean. Even in the face of the enemy's electronic interference, the attack mission can be carried out smoothly.
Electronic countermeasures equipment: The "Flying Leopard" - "J-7" is equipped with advanced electronic countermeasures devices, which can effectively protect itself and reduce the risk of being detected and attacked by the enemy's electronic systems.
In terms of power: "Flying Leopard" J-7 uses a twin-turbocharged turbocharged engine with a maximum speed of 1Mach 7, the cross-field section can reach more than 3,600 kilometers at most, with excellent supersonic breakthrough and staying power, fully meeting the combat needs of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the first island chain. After the Flying Leopard-7 anti-ship missile is launched, it can quickly withdraw from the enemy's air defense range and attack the enemy.
Armament and self-defense: Although it is not a first-class fighter, its hardness and structure allow it to have some life-saving functions and the ability to resist attacks.
In short, the Flying Leopard-7 anti-ship missile has strong anti-ship performance, and its versatility also gives it the ability to conduct reconnaissance and air defense in the ocean, but its biggest advantage is still its attack on warships. With the progress of strategic thinking and science and technology, the "Black Panther" J-7 has become more and more diversified in terms of tactical application, and can form a three-dimensional offensive and defensive system with the three major platforms of the sea, land and air, constituting a pattern of both offense and defense.
Relatively speaking, the anti-ship performance of the J-20 is not very good, this is a fighter that focuses on air combat, and the internal bomb bay is dominated by air-to-air missiles. It is too difficult to install an anti-ship missile in the bomb bay of the J-20, for example, a large-caliber one like the Eagle-12 cannot be loaded into it, and the power of a small anti-ship missile is not strong enough. In addition, the ** density of the J-20 is not enough, it can carry up to 6 anti-aircraft missiles, and even more so with anti-ship missiles. In the oceans, the ability of the enemy's ships to effectively intercept our missiles often depends on whether they have powerful firepower.
Therefore, even the J-20 has the opportunity to participate in anti-ship battles, but more like an air combat aircraft, fighting with enemy aircraft carriers in the first island chain, mastering air supremacy. The endurance of the J-20 allows it to return to the airfield on the coast of the East China Sea after fighting an air battle.
But in air combat, the fighters of the Flying Leopard fighter are not necessarily the opponents of the J-20, let alone some third-generation aircraft. The Flying Leopard-7 uses a two-seat, two-engine aerodynamic system, so it is less flexible than some single-aircraft aircraft designed for aerial combat. The wing surface and control surface of the Flying Leopard-7 fighter are also relatively conventional, and it does not use high maneuverability technologies such as canard wings, tilting, and thrust vectors, resulting in no obvious advantages in its ability to turn in emergency evasion and close combat.
On the other hand, in modern warfare, the advancement of radar and electronics is crucial. This greatly restricts the detection, tracking, and striking of the "Flying Leopard" J-7 under long-range conditions. Although some improvements have been made later, it is still difficult to compare with professional air combat aircraft.
In addition, ** is also crucial in modern warfare, the J-7 of the Flying Leopard fighter does not aim at **, its huge size and the exhaust gases of the two engines will attract the attention of the enemy. When encountering modern fighters with the best capabilities, due to their significant radar cross-section and strong infrared characteristics, they can be under the cover of enemy fire without being detected by enemy aircraft.
In addition, fire control and fire load will also have a great constraint on the air-space combat performance of the Flying Leopard-7, although it can carry some medium-range air-to-air missiles, such as "Thunder 12", but its main role is to hit targets at sea and land, and lacks optimization of low-altitude maneuvering targets. So, the complex conditions of the Air Force always become its weak link.
