In China, it is reported that active work continues on the creation of the second type of Chinese new generation fighters - the J-31. According to the Chinese classification, it belongs to the 4th generation, which corresponds to the international version of the fifth generation of fighters.

According to the latest information, Chinese specialists are busy solving the problem of increasing the thrust of the J-31 engine - with bringing the thrust indicators to those parameters that would provide not only super-maneuverability, but also the ability to take off from the deck of aircraft carriers without problems. It is recalled that starting with Type 003, the PLA Navy's aircraft carriers will have a flat deck. It is for this variant that the newest Chinese fighter J-31 is being created.

In China, the emphasis is on the following thesis: the carrier-based J-31 "will become the only competitor" for the American 5th generation F-35В fighter in the medium term. Other states, including Russia, do not have their own 5th generation carrier-based fighters. The Russian Su-57 is not positioned (at the moment) as a platform for creating a new-generation carrier-based aircraft, and even with aircraft carriers in the Russian Navy, everything is still difficult.

By and large, there is no new generation carrier-based fighter at the moment in China itself. However, according to tradition, the Chinese media are running ahead and already announcing the J-31 as ready to enter service with the PLA Navy.

It is also difficult to understand the statement that the J-31 will "become the only competitor" for the F-35B. A competitor in the sky, for example, over the South China Sea - perhaps. But not in the arms market, exactly. NATO countries during fleets which have aircraft carriers, clearly will not be interested in the Chinese J-31. India does not belong to China's military-technical partners. Russia is still thinking about resolving issues with the development of the aircraft carrier fleet as such.

            The F-35 was originally designed as a "three-in-one" in land, sea for aircraft carriers and VTOL aircraft with a lifting fan behind the cockpit and a drive from the main engine gearbox. With a compatibility of parts under 70%.
            Such were the ambitions of the Americans: to replace the Harrier, F-18, F-16. And to save money It turned out kind of bearable.

              It didn't work at all. The requirements for VTOL aircraft severely limited the capabilities of A and C, while the cost of development skyrocketed. As a result, the Americans received less effective aircraft than if they had developed separately VTOL aircraft and separately ground and ejection modifications - but more expensive than they could have.
              There is an achievement - their F-35V is definitely more like a combat aircraft than a Harrier or Yak-38. But this is ... such an achievement.

                a huge fleet of aircraft will provide the Americans with a maintenance market for a long time.
                I only agree that versatility is not good for performance. Perhaps even the Chinese will be able to benefit from the twin-engine version for the deck. But the market has already floated away. And for myself in a small batch - well, there are a lot of Chinese, the people will not even notice the increase in price. It's a pity, Russia is no longer given this ...

                    Doesn't say anything. The F-35 conveyor is fully loaded.
                    Remember how the F-18 appeared in the fleet? He lost the competition in the Air Force to a competitor F-16 (then still "Condor"). And the fleet needed to replace the hodgepodge of Phantoms, Skyhawks, Intruders, Corsairs 2 and other "attack aircraft". Decided - two engines, you can make it heavier and stronger. Let him work together with F-14.
                    Now they will simply make a hodgepodge of F-18, F-35 and gradually replace them.

                      There are F / A-18E / F Super Hornet and F / A-18C / D Hornet. Despite their similarity, these are different fighters. Everything is different for them: glider, engine, avionics.
                      The F35С was created to replace the F / A-18C / D Hornet, only it. It does not concern the F / A-18E / F Super Hornet; a new twin-engine aircraft based on the F35C is planned to replace it.

                This is not true. No matter how expensive the development of the F-35 was, it was still cheaper.
                than three separate developments of different combat aircraft.
                And of course, three separate developments would never have allowed
                the price on the conveyor is up to 80 million per piece.
                As a result, three modifications of the F-35 come off the assembly line like hot cakes.
                Of these, several combat squadrons are formed per year.
                The US and NATO received a massive 5-generation aircraft, a workhorse.
                And "extremely efficient" aircraft: one-off assembly, price of $ 100 million.
                Spare parts are not produced. One squadron is formed for several years.

                  Not to lower, but to lift. Warrior, I understand your admiration for US technology, but the bottom line is that the F-35 is a series of fairly good avionics (not always ideal, but still) put on a completely miserable glider with a very so-so engine.

                  "Combat" is still quite loudly said. And not about the F-35. Limitedly suitable for some, not too difficult tasks, if possible - without active opposition from the enemy.

                    but completely misconceptions about the F-35.
                    And about the glider, and about the engine, and, accordingly, about the possibilities.
                    F-35 is used just for particularly difficult tasks in
                    conditions of strong opposition from air defense and electronic warfare.
                    When it is dangerous to send outdated 4th generation aircraft.
                    I will no longer persuade you. F-35 will gradually become the most
                    the most common combat aircraft in the world (F-16 are leaving).

                      Well, not so enthusiastic, namesake. It's just a good modern fighter-bomber. And if there is no real war, it will become the most massive. Sometimes some innovations drastically change all the rest of the "hardware" and even the depth of the front and the methods of combat operations. laughing It is possible that the same cheap unmanned Valkyrie will become the basis of infantry support. And the F-35 will be bought by lovers of museum values. wassat

                    - What the citizen is talking about - he probably doesn't understand ... Why is the glider bad ?? An overload of 9 units for the F-35A, what else is needed? Frontal RCS (according to the latest data) is less than that of the F-22. Aerodynamic quality is more than 10. Combat radius (without PTB) - 1239 km. The cruiser supersonic 11M (1.2 kilometers) can hold for 234 minutes without afterburner.

                        - The relationship is the most direct and direct. It is the glider... Its great layout, the ability to carry two huge bombs inside, plus two long-range missiles, plus over 8 tons of fuel (A and C) - which is why its glider is just fine.

                        - Check with other sources, compare with modifications B (935 km) and C (1,241 km). It can be seen, after all, that the plaque is from a more solid source. And with the range, someone sealed up there, it happens ...

                    Or do you consider the lifting fan in version "B" less successful?
                    "Combat" is still quite loudly said. And not about the F-35. Limitedly suitable for some, not too difficult tasks, if possible - without active opposition from the enemy.

                    It is worth being objective: the Israeli Air Force has experience in operating this aircraft and the opinion about the aircraft drawn up there is more expert (confirmed by practice, and not by hearsay and "eye").

                      About the same, yes. But here's the question - F / A-18, in fact, and among its generation is far from the leader of mobile combat. According to two extremely important indicators - specific wing loading and thrust-to-weight ratio, the F-35 loses to the Rafal.

                      The engine itself is good, but its thrust is insufficient for an F-35 aircraft of any modification.

                      That's just unknown to the general public. Because the official delight is one thing (Israel just physically cannot declare that the plane is about anything, it will be an epic setup on its part), but real reports are quite another.

                        Michael Gilmore, the now-retired Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, i.e. Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (retired)
                        "If used in combat, the F-35 aircraft will need support to locate and avoid modern threat ground radars, acquire targets, and engage formations of enemy fighter aircraft due to unresolved performance deficiencies and limited weapons carriage availability."
                        “When used in combat, the F-35 will need support to detect and prevent modern ground-based threat radars, detect targets and engage enemy fighter groups due to unresolved performance gaps and limited weapon availability. ... "
                        And then - reports and pilots report
                        Overall, the F-35's sensors, computers, and software problems, including decoys and reporting inaccurate locations, were so severe that test teams at Edwards Air Force Base rated them as "red," meaning they could not fight. expected tasks from them ....
                        One of the systems, the Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS), was noted by pilots as inferior in resolution and range to systems currently used on older aircraft .... The report says the problem is so serious that F-35 pilots, they may have to fly so close to lock on to the target, and they will have to maneuver to gain the distance needed to fire a guided weapon. Thus, the system's limitations could force the attacking F-35 to compromise the surprise, allowing the enemy to maneuver using the first shot opportunity.
                        ... The test pilots also had difficulties with the helmet during some important tests of the accuracy of the delivery of weapons. Several of the pilots described the displays in the helmet as "unusable and potentially unsafe" due to the "character mess" obscuring ground targets.
                        ... But due to problems with excessive decoys, unstable shaky images, and information overload, pilots are turning off some sensor and computer inputs and relying instead on simplified displays or more traditional dashboards.
                        ... While trying to test AIM-9X short-range air-to-air missile fire on targets, the pilots reported that their view of the target was blocked by the symbols displayed on their helmet visors. The pilots also reported that the characters were unstable when they tried to track targets ...
                        .... And as bad as a single plane problem is, it's much worse when multiple planes are trying to communicate over the network. The F-35 has a Multi-Functional Advanced Data Link (MADL) that allows the aircraft to communicate with other F-35s to give all pilots an overall picture of the combat space. To do this, it takes all the data generated by each plan and integrates it into a single overall view of the world.
                        But this system also creates erroneous or split images of targets. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the system also sometimes dumps target images entirely, causing confusion within the cockpit as to what is there and what is not ....
                        .... The disadvantages of the F-35 as an air-to-air fighter are already well documented.
                        It is known to have lost out in simulated aerial combat within range of sight (WVR), where its radar stealth has no advantage, over the F-16 in early 2015, one of the aircraft the F-35 is to replace as an air fighter. The F-35 lost several times when maneuvering air-to-air, despite the fact that the test was conducted in its favor, since the F-16 used was a heavier two-seat version and was additionally loaded with heavy, drag-causing external fuel. tanks to make it difficult to maneuver ....

                        They just know - firstly, the North Koreans are frankly weak in the air, so they will have to fight mainly with ground-based air defense, which the F-35 can do relatively well. Secondly, the South Koreans want carrier-based aircraft without a full-fledged AB, that is, for them the F-35V has no alternative.

                        You forget about the conditions in which the battles were fought. From a long distance, where the advantages of the F-35 in terms of stealth (oddly enough smile ) and radar are most pronounced.
                        In reality, you will also not be allowed into close combat without loss. But if at the start 15 versus 15, 5 versus 14 came to the close, then the chances are zero. They will shoot.

                        Now let's just remember the statistics of REAL long-range battles. And we understand that until now, DVB is just a small introduction to the BVB. Even in conditions of absolute information dominance (Iraq, Yugoslavia), the Americans quite often came close to the sidewinder distance.
                        DVB is not yet the main type of air combat. And yes, if you play off planes of different generations without information support (ground radar, AWACS, etc.), keep track of the defeat by radar illumination and electronic launches, then it is quite possible to pull out 15: 1. But it will have nothing to do with a real battle.

                        You say that the order for the F-18e / f speaks of the failure of the F-35s, which I think is incorrect.

                        The most interesting question is why the Air Force has more than 200 aircraft, while the Navy has only 28? What, the Air Force bypassed the fleet? :) Something I doubt it. Apparently, the reason is precisely that the fleet does not seek to switch to the F-35.

                        Is it difficult to read the rearmament programs of the Americans themselves? Who told you that the F-35 S was supposed to replace ALL F-18 models in the Navy? The F-35 C replaces only the F-35 C / D, but not the F-18E / F. The E / F and the Growlers will be replacing another F / A-XX program by the mid-30s. In anticipation of this new model, new F-18 E / F is being purchased. No one is buying C / D models.

The E / F models are replaced by another aircraft under the FF-XX program (and this was decided back in 2008), and while waiting for the XX, the Americans are replacing some of the older E / Fs with new ones. And this does not in any way apply to the F-35.

                        And what's wrong with the engine? Production model, offer an analogue with the same power-to-weight ratio.

                        The engine itself is good, but its thrust is insufficient for an F-35 aircraft of any modification.

                        -? Who told you such nonsense ?! Not enough - in what sense?? For what need? What can't he do with this craving? The creators believe that it is. But, of course, the engines promised to bring the F135 thrust at full afterburner to 21.5 tons. Someday..... Nobody seems to rush them ...

                        It is worth being objective: the Israeli Air Force has experience in operating this aircraft and the opinion about the aircraft drawn up there is more expert

                        That's just unknown to the general public.

                        - The aircraft is very successfully operated and, in accordance with its functions, smashes the IRGC in Syria throughout its area, right up to the most remote corners "in the tail and in the mane" - what else?
                        Because the official delight is one thing (Israel just physically cannot declare that the plane is about anything)

                        - Only complete imbeciles can say that "the F-35 is an aircraft" about nothing ""
                        ... that would be an epic set-up on his part, but real-world reports would be something else entirely.

                        - Do you have any secrets of information that the plane is somehow not coping with its official duties? General Konashenkov said that?
                        The shortcomings of the F-35 are revealed during operation and from series to series are eliminated - for new ones immediately, and for previously released ones - you have to redo something... This is common for a new car. This is normal. The main thing is that there are no fundamental "punctures".

                        - What for drummer too high speed ?? Its ground targets never run fast. Therefore, the maximum 1.67M is "above the roof" for him. And at such a speed, it is unlikely that he will ever need to fly. Here is the F-22, a frontline fighter and interceptor. It has a maximum speed of 2.42M (limited to 2M in peacetime). This is consistent with its functions and objectives. And for the F-35, this one was also considered excellent. If anything, the F-22 will cover it ... wink

                        - If the F-35 would have made a wing of a larger area (reducing the specific load on the wing) - the combat radius would undoubtedly decrease - due to an increase in the washed wing area and, accordingly, friction resistance. At the same time, it was impossible to increase the aspect ratio of the wing - then the speed would inevitably be lost.
                        If two engines were installed on the F-35, it would complicate and increase the cost of the design, and a more powerful engine is always less economical.

                        The F-35 can do it (without afterburner). And the rest do not. It flies on supersonic without afterburner without consuming a lot of fuel and not glowing like a Christmas tree in IR mode. This is the real cruise supersonic. In the rest (except for the F-22), cruising supersonic is achieved only by afterburner, and this is a fiction already.

                        Liam, the F-35 can do this for 11 minutes, so for him it's a short-term exit - period. Accordingly, it would be correct to say that the F-35 may not go out supersonic without afterburner - but, due to the fact that it can be there for 11 minutes, this is not a cruising supersonic mode

                        F-22, TRDDF Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100. Concorde TRDF Rolls-Royce / SNECMA "Olympus" 593 - these had no afterburner cruising supersonic speed. If we talk about afterburner supersonic (there is almost no difference in the range on afterburner and subsonic), then these are MiG-25 and Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, MiG-31 and Tu-144
                        Perhaps it can be the Su-35 and PAK FA with stage 1 engines (that is, those that are now) can provide non-afterburning supersonic, but I have no exact information about this, so there is nothing to talk about yet

                        Well, Americans are not familiar with your "brilliant" calculations.

                        - And in fact: these designers Lockheed Martin: would they take and make a wing for the F-35A and B like the F-35C ?! Decided to save a little ?! wink laughing

                        How, they forgot to tell you again ?! The F-35 has the ability to fly in non-afterburner cruising supersonic for 11 (eleven) minutes,

                        This is called the absence of cruising supersonic.

                        - No, well, you can't please! 1.2M and 234 km is not enough! And the F-22 - 1.72 and 185 km - is that a lot or a little ??
                        Because ANY plane can fly a certain amount of time at trans or supersonic speed.

                        - But "fuck on the snout"! Eurofighter can fly for some time at 1.2M, but - only with four AIM-120 missiles, half-sunk into the fuselage. More load - no, no! And the F-35 does it with two bombs, one ton each, plus two missiles! There is a difference?
                        But cruising speed also means fuel consumption, which provides an appropriate combat radius.

                        - And what cretin told you that the same F-22 has a minimum kilometer fuel consumption in non-afterburner cruising mode ?? He's like this:
                        M = 0,8 N = 9000m 3.4 kg / km
                        M = 0,9 N = 9000m - 3.65 kg / km
                        M = 0,9 N = 12000m - 3.22 kg / km
                        M = 0,9 N = 15000m - 2,91 kg / km.

                        Supersonic without afterburner:
                        M = 1,5 N = 9000m - 11,6 kg / km.
                        M = 1,5 N = 12000m - 7,2 kg / km
                        M = 1,5 N = 13500m - 6,12 kg / km
                        M = 1,5 N = 15000m - 5.2 kg / km

                        F-22 at maximum speed:
                        near the ground M = 1.05
                        H = 7000m M = 1.35
                        H = 9000m M = 1.6
                        H = 12000 M = 1.73 is the maximum speed
                        H ~ 15000m M = 1.5-1.52
                        In general, you do not know the materiel from the word "in general".

                        - It turns out that it comes out, but you were too lazy to read the link on the engines of the "Concorde", but what I said before was completely missed, you will have to return:
                        Despite the fact that the "Concorde" could overcome the sound barrier and reach cruising speed without the use of engine boost, afterburner was also used to accelerate from transonic speeds to a speed corresponding to M = 1,7. The reason for this was that without the use of afterburner, such acceleration would be very slow, and the total amount of fuel used for this maneuver would be too much.

                        written by Lt. Col. Patrick Higby in 2005
                        English version - http://pogoarchives.org/labyrinth/11/09.pdf
                        In Russian translation - https://yacc11.livejournal.com/10504.html
                        So, before Desert Storm (Vietnam, Yom Kippur War, War in Lebanon), missiles with PARGSN (that is, medium-range) shot down 14% of the total number of shot down, missiles with IGSN (short-range) - 58%, cannons - 27%. Another 1% came from other reasons
                        At the same time, the war in Lebanon in 1982 showed similar values ​​- out of 77 shot down Arab vehicles, only 12 were shot down by missiles from the PARGSN. But the catch is that if they fired a medium-range missile, this does not mean at all that the enemy was shot down in the DVB. They were regularly used in the BVB, which is why of the 12 aircraft shot down by the PARGSN, only 1 (ONE) plane was shot down in the DVB. ONE in 77, Karl!

                        disinformer you are our

                        Yes, indeed, he misinformed. In Yugoslavia, they didn’t bring down “sidewinders” - they didn’t bring them down from a distance with sidewinders. In front of an adequate opponent, I would even apologize for misinformation (after all, for me this is not a profile, I wrote from memory) but, of course, I will not.
                        In Desert Storm, out of 36 downed aircraft (4 more - crashed themselves, 1 case of involuntary ejection) 2 were shot down from guns, 10 - UR with IGSN and 24 - UR with PARGSN. But the question is that out of 24 targets shot down by PARGSN, only 16 were shot down in DVB (the rest - in BVB), respectively, 44,5%. Moreover, the figure of 16 goals is calculated, and may be incorrect. In fact, only FIVE cases of the destruction of Iraqi planes in the DVB are absolutely reliably known, Higby's word: "However, there are guaranteed 5 victories in long-range missile combat: one from a range of 16 miles and at night, the second from a range of 8.5 miles and at night and three from range of 13 miles.
                        By the way, 16 nautical miles is 29 km. Well, a very long-range air battle :))))))))
                        Well, that's not bad for DVB statistics, but here's the thing - Higby points directly to the reasons for such a high performance. In addition to AWACS and the "friend or foe" identification system, he writes
                        Another additional factor that increased the effectiveness of attacks with PARGSN missiles in long-range missile combat was the fact that the Iraqi pilots did not make defensive deflection maneuvers after the attacking aircraft's radar took them for escort. This may indicate either insufficient pilot training, equipment failures (radar exposure warning devices), or a combination of the two.

                        That is, they shot like ducks while hunting.
                        As for Yugoslavia, Higby points out
                        For example, during Operation No-Fly Zone in Yugoslavia, there were four aerial victories attributed to two F-16Cs of the US Air Force: February 28, 1994 - three victories were achieved with AIM-9 missiles and one with AIM-120 AMRAAM (more perfect replacement for the AIM-7 rocket). It is unlikely that the AIM-120 AMRAAM was launched in a long-range missile battle, since four enemy aircraft were also simultaneously attacked by AIM-9 melee air missiles. In addition, the F-16C are not equipped with the NCTR system to make reliable identification in addition to the "friend or foe" system so as not to ask for permission from AWACS aircraft.

                        There is no data on the rest of the victories achieved with the help of AMRAAM - it is not known from what distance they were used.
                        And here's another use of medium-range missile launchers
                        In the even more recent Operation Southern Observation in Iraq on January 5, 1999, a dogfight occurred after two Iraqi MiG-25s crossed the southern no-fly zone, which was monitored by two F-15C's long-range radars. The F-15C responded by launching three AIM-7 and one AIM-120 missiles. All four missiles did not hit targets. Then two F-14 Navy fired two AIM-54 "Phoenix" on the same two Mig-25. Despite the fact that the AIM-54 was a more expensive missile and seemingly more capable of hitting targets of any air-to-air missile ever made, both missiles failed to hit targets again.

                        That's something like

The "victims" did not even see or hear when and how they were shot down, they only received a command from the central command post: "You are shot down!" ... And so - throughout all 15 years of its operation. The trend is more than clear.

                        So when my gracious opponents start shaking with super-maneuverability "like a written bag" (but the Americans don't have it!) - I'm very funny.

        You do not understand this. They can build 10 factories. But without new technologies for the production of turbine and compressor blades, these engines cannot have the corresponding parameters of specific power and resource ... It's just that the geometry in these types of engines is not enough. The blades themselves are monocrystalline, and even with a multilayer coating ...

For many years, although they announced the release of their own "replacements" ... The stealth of their fighters is declared ONLY by themselves. Nobody really tested them. And so on. I know for sure about the engines. Their resource is small. Precisely because they do not have coating technology. And it won't be for a long time. This technology is not being bought. No way.

        Don't you just don't understand her. They will release it. Maybe someday. Only now the resource is unlikely to be more than 100-200 hours and it will not give out the required power. Unless, of course, the Americans sold the license and started production. Which is unlikely.
        In reality, the WS-10 never reached the actual resource of 1000 hours. Rumored to be no more than 900 hours. That of course progress. 12-13 years ago, this engine had a resource of 250-300 hours.

          - On the third and fourth year of the Barnaul Air Force Academy, in 1972-73, I flew the Il-28. The resource of the then VK-1 engines, new, Soviet, was 100 (one hundred) hours. After a major overhaul at a plant in Poland (and there were most of these engines) - 50 (fifty) hours. Every Saturday, in the morning, we, the cadets of this unit, plus the technician of this plane, where the engine should be changed, plus the technician of this unit, went to the airfield after breakfast. And until lunchtime we, about 12 people, "in the sweat of our brows," twisted the nuts on the hoods and fenders with special keys to disassemble the wing half - the Il-28 was wonderful for its time, but changing the engine on it was horror, horror! belay

          Therefore, 1000 hours, and the engine changes relatively easily - everyone got rid of the mistakes of the past long ago - this is sheer nonsense. And the fact that a modern Chinese engine has a resource of 100-200 hours is unlikely. At least 500 hours. And this, if the Chinese are working, are "seeds"! lol
