Recently, China officially released part of the performance data of the J-35 fighter, which is equipped with a turbofan 19 engine and a bomb load of more than 8 tons, which has undoubtedly become the focus of global military attention.
On the map of modern warfare, air superiority has always been the key to determining victory or defeat. The unveiling of the J-35 fighter not only shows the latest achievements of China's aviation industry, but also a major rehearsal of future air combat capabilities.
According to official data, the maximum combat radius of the J-35 fighter reaches 1350 kilometers, and in a specific raid mode, its maximum bomb load can reach 8 tons. The disclosure of this data not only proves the excellent performance of the J-35 in terms of bomb load, but also reflects China's determination and strength in improving the combat capability of fighters.
The turbofan 19 engine, as the power core of the J-35, provides strong thrust support. The thrust of this medium-sized engine reached 12 tons, which made a qualitative leap in the maneuverability and speed of the J-35 in the air. Moreover, this engine also has omnidirectional vector control capabilities, which means that the J-35 will have more flexible maneuverability in close-range air combat.
In terms of stealth technology, the radar reflection cross section of the J-35 is positively small, only 001 square meters, which makes it much more survivable on the battlefield. At the same time, the J-35 is also equipped with advanced gallium nitride active phased array radar and optoelectronic aperture system, the integration of these high-end equipment, so that the J-35 has significant advantages in information acquisition and target locking.
It is worth noting that the J-35 was originally designed to be used as a carrier-based aircraft, which means that it needs to take off and land on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Therefore, the J-35 must be designed taking into account the special requirements of carrier-based aircraft, such as the ability to take off and land at short distances. At this point, the performance of the J-35 is also expected.
From the perspective of international competition, the emergence of the J-35 has undoubtedly brought new variables to the global military balance. Its performance indicators have surpassed the American F35 fighter in some aspects, which not only demonstrates China's progress in military science and technology, but also provides China with new competitiveness in the international military market.
Overall, the disclosure of some performance data of the J-35 fighter is not only an improvement in the transparency of China's affairs, but also an opportunity to show China's scientific and technological strength to the outside world. With more performance data and actual combat capabilities, the J-35 will become an important force in future air operations. Its successful research and development and future service will have a far-reaching impact on the security landscape of China and the world.
