China celebrates the 10th anniversary of the first flight of the J-20: "This fighter changed the balance of power and made the whole world talk about itself."

China is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the first flight of the J-20. Some intermediate results were also summed up. Recall that the first flight of this combat aircraft, which in China belongs to the new generation, took place in January 2011. Then in Beijing they said that China became the second country in the world, which has a new generation of fighters - 4th according to the Chinese classification, the fifth according to the global classification.

The Chinese media published an interview with one of the designers of the J-20 Yang Wei.

According to Yang Wei, when developing a new generation fighter "it was necessary to use the aircraft-building technologies available at that time, to create on their basis a new technological groundwork for improving the design of a combat aircraft."



Yang Wei:

I was very lucky as a large team of really talented people worked with me.

The Chinese press cited statements by military experts. Among them is Song Zhunping, who put it this way:

The J-20 became the first Chinese fighter that was not only comparable to US aircraft, but also surpassed it in a number of parameters. For example, the combat radius of the J-20 is approximately 300 km greater than the combat radius of the F-22 of the US Air Force. This is also the first time that our air superiority has become a threat to American stealth fighters. Then we were all inspired by this news.

According to Zhunping, the PLA Air Force J-20 fighter "changed the balance of power and made the whole world talk about itself."

At the same time, today the Chinese press notes that 10 years after the first flight of the J-20 fighter, they have certain problems. One of the main ones is the problem associated with their own engines. Chinese aviation the power plants do not yet fully meet the requests that the Chinese Air Force command makes to them. However, as noted, work continues on the WS-15 engines, "and they are being improved more and more."

      This fighter changed the balance of power.

      Not yet.
      ... and made the whole world talk about himself "

      But this is yes. The country, which has not done 4 generations, swung to the 5th, at a time when most aviation luminaries can only dream of it ...

                  Again, Wikipedia says:
                  J-10 - maiden flight - March 23, 1998. Operation started in 2005.
                  J-20 - maiden flight - January 11, 2011. Start of operation - 2017.
                  That is, the Chinese independently, without any outside help, have developed a fifth generation fighter in thirteen years? And they adopted it just six years after the first flight? With minimal experience in aircraft construction before?

                    I didn’t hold the candle, and I don’t know if they developed it themselves, or with the secret help of Lockheed, or with the help of industrial espionage, or with the help of aliens. I don't know if they developed it in 13 years or 23 years (but the J-20 is similar, for example, to one of the AFTI concepts). I don't even know if this is a good fighter. But I know that before the J-20, the Chinese made the 4th generation aircraft (J-10).

                      Watch the history of the Israeli fighter "Lavi" and you will be admitted.
                      The United States convinced Israel to abandon the production of its own 4th generation light fighter by offering to buy their F-16 from them. For their own money.
                      And Israel agreed. Yes
                      But the work will not be lost when the plane has already flown and really turned out ... And they sold all the documentation and all the materials to China.
                      This was known at the turn of the 80s - 90s, and was actively discussed.
                      In the early to mid-90s, China turned to TsAGI and the MiG Design Bureau for help in order to help with the development of a light fighter with an AL-31F engine based on the Lavi airframe (they basically had no other engine options).
                      TsAGI modified and blew out the airframe and adapted it for the AL-31F engine.
                      KB im. The cradles created a special modification of the AL-31F (with a special arrangement of the aggregate box) specifically for the J-10.
                      KB MiG helped with hardware and aggregate saturation of the airframe and organization of production.
                      So China did not develop this fighter on its own. But its further modifications are more of their creativity. Although not without the help of Israeli, British and Russian firms.
                      Well, cadres from the former USSR have been intensively recruited and exported to China since the 90s.
                      But the J-20 is really their development.
                      Although not without industrial espionage and Russian engines at the first stage.

                          This is not a legend, but a completely legal deal, a lot was written about it at that time in our press, the press of the USA, Israel, Britain, etc. The Chinese, about their clones of our Su-27 and Su-30, asserted that "these are our own developments." This is a Chinese tradition and should not be taken seriously.

                          They started talking about it right after the appearance of the J-20. Indeed, the glider (without taking into account the shape and location of the air intakes and engine nacelles) is very similar to the MiG-1.44. But it also resembles their lightweight J-10 - the Duck layout, the wing shape ... It is also similar to the Rafale, albeit more distantly.
                          In any case, the J-20 is an exclusively Chinese development, albeit with compilations (the shape of the air intakes is similar to the air intakes on the F-35). A very interesting solution for retractable weapons holders from the inner compartments.

                          The legend is that J-10 is essentially Lavi. Lavi himself is, of course, completely real.

                          J-10 is a redesigned Lavi project for the Al-31F engine and new avionics.
                          The press of a number of states reflected that TsAGI had received an order from China to rework the Lavi project under the AL-31F engine.
                          KB im. The cradles made a special modification of the AL-31F engine for this project with a special arrangement of the aggregate box.
                          KB MiG helped to develop the aggregate and hardware saturation of this airframe and the organization of its production at production sites in China.
                          This is all - the official history, reflected in hundreds (!) Of publications.
                          Therefore, in its pure form, the J-10 is not a Lavi fighter, but is its development or, if you like, a modification.
                          Or a modified clone.
                          In any case, this is NOT an INDEPENDENT development of China.
                          And in general - not its development.
                          But its further modifications are already the work of Chinese designers, albeit with the involvement of companies from Israel, England and the Russian Federation.
                          After all, it was from this that the dispute began - that China did not have the experience of INDEPENDENT development of a 4th generation fighter. Although he certainly has extensive experience in the production and modernization of such fighters.

                    j-10 and j-20 are essentially the products of one project called plagiarism.
                    The j-20 is not a new generation of fighters, but a new generation of plagiarism.
                    If earlier the Chinese copied without invention, now they have begun to creatively assemble a product from other people's components.
                    The same j-20 consists of stolen and purchased technologies mig-1.44, f-22, f-35, su-27 and, I think, the list is far from complete.
                    The same story with their fleet and armored vehicles - the layout of other people's decisions.
                    I am not inclined to laugh at China, they have specific goals and they go to them in the most effective ways. The same USSR made aviation completely out of plagiarism before the war. China's developments are still very timid and weak, but they are growing. On the other hand, we have fewer and fewer of our own developments.

                        for example, all special groups on naval air defense missiles have recently been disbanded.
                        it got to the point that we are no longer able to make a normal air defense officer for an aircraft carrier.
                        it would seem - if you want - steal from the USA or France, if you want - use the developments of the USSR, if you want - invent it yourself. But no. There is no single option.
                        Such a direction as robotics is simply zeroed out. We have a few do-it-yourself labs left, but there is no industry.
                        And the further, the more the scientific and technological progress shrinks, because there is no experimental and scientific base, and a tenth of the former, there are only remnants of the USSR developments and by inertia not all specialists have disappeared yet.

                  The New World was presented as a kind of paradise, so there were enough people willing. Read how Virginia (Jamestown settlement) was founded, who sailed there. And this was already after the very Roanoke and other settlements destroyed by the Indians and Spaniards.
                  Or was John Smith a suicide bomber? The same Smith who fought with the Turks and traveled around Europe? He was not at court, but he did lead Jamestown, because the nobles could not. He actually saved Jamestown. It says a lot!
                  Even Nathaniel Bacon was not a criminal, and it was he who destroyed Jamestown.

                  I've never read about colonization, but nowhere have I seen anything about criminals or prisoners.

                  There is only one BUT - for the entire time of colonization in the States there were 50 thousand of those same criminals and suicide bombers, for more than 2.5 million people (the British).

                Most experts, both engaged and realists, believe that the SU35 is superior to the Raptor in combat. The Yankees' bet on early target identification and long-range combat is almost completely unsuccessful, since the SU35 is a super-maneuverable machine, coupled with UHT engines, easily maneuvers away from missiles, using suppression systems. Plus, an infrared system for searching and tracking targets, allows DRY to keep situational control and to scare targets without using radar. Plus, despite the Raptor's farsightedness, SU35 successfully managed to avoid detection of the Predator by AFAR, including using its electronic warfare system. And the commander of the 95th Yankee squadron speaks unflatteringly about the F22 next to the SU35. For both meetings in the Syrian sky began and ended sadly for the Raptor: Drying was the first to detect the enemy and force them to leave. And equipping the SU35 with new hypersonic missiles of a long-range radius of 420 km completely deprives the Predator of illusions. F22 has zero chances at medium and short distances.

                        There are no particular details. Americans are now experiencing
                        two options: on the F-16 suspended and on the C-130 built into the fuselage.

                          Hercules is transport. What's more interesting is what they came up with for Lightning 2.
                          You yourself wrote that the next block for the F-35 will have such a weapon.
                          It turns out that there is no data for Lightning, there is only for F-16 and Hercules. And this, you see, is a completely different story.

                          (version A has an additional fuel tank) for the laser (or battery /
                          supercapacitor?). And the drive for recharging is from the engine.

                          Probably instead of a cannon with shells? The mass will remain approximately
                          same. If the laser is slightly more powerful, then it can be used in
                          close combat. By drones, helicopters. Transport workers (blow to the cockpit). To save rockets.

                          maybe I misunderstood him. but as far as I know, so far, lasers are used in BKO to blind missiles with IR seeker.
                          they have not yet learned how to destroy the missiles themselves.
                          and for dazzling they use ours, in the same Vitebsk and even in KAZ for Armata (Afghanite protects the upper hemisphere only through KOEP).

            There were. ATF program. Super maneuverability, stealth, cruising supersonic. Result F-22. Everything that appeared after the raptor only partially meets these requirements, each country has its own vision of the best fighter.

            And the Chinese make little sense to rejoice. Well done, they caught up with the performance characteristics of the aircraft being developed in the 80s-90s of the last century. The gap is only 20 years.

              This is incorrect because real supersonic is considered from 1.25M, so there are graters on the topic of cruising 1.2M, but there is no afterburner cruising itself.

      Chinese avionics in the West is praised and even ranked higher than Russian. But honestly, for some reason I am tormented by murky doubts No. although this may be prejudice recourse
      But the engines that do not give a cruiser supersonic, and even not their own.

        in fact, and rzhaka, the Chinese (and Indians, too) wrote that the PAK FA that they say he is not a real fifth generation because the engines of the first stage do not give out cruising supersonic (which by the way is a lie), and at the same time they consider their J20 the fifth generation in which the engines are even worse than the engines of the first stage of the PAK FA.

      You can criticize China. China can be praised. But I'm looking at something else. WHERE was China in 1991, and where is it now, 30 years later. And then I compare where Russia / the USSR was in 1991, and where it is now. Just compare how many Migs 29x FLY and how many J10x FLIES. Well, or compare how many SU-57 FLYs and how many J20x FLIES (and how many F22x FLIES), just compare the number and who achieved what. And somehow I don't want to compare anything else. You can see where the United States was in 1991, and what it has degraded into now. The comparison will also be in favor of China. The Chinese are great. They rolled their Maidanists / navalnat / antifa into the asphalt with tanks, all sorts of terrorists / Uighurs, the equivalent of the supporters of "Independent Ichkeria" were jailed in camps, and immediately things went ahead. By the way, if a politician were caught in China on the same thing that Biden and his son are doing, then I don't think that such a politician would remain at large for a long time.

          They rolled their 5th column into the asphalt. What Russia, unfortunately, did not want to do. The result is obvious. By the way, the United States also indulge all sorts of Antifam, BLM and others like them. The result will be sad for the United States. All hostile elements are like CANCER. They need to be cut and burned. It is one thing when a person points out the corruption or negligence of a particular bureaucratic / officials, another thing when he deals with baseless accusations and, for some reason, where such elements have good money from and calls for the destruction / rewriting of history and for the overthrow of the regime. Nothing good will shine for you, in Russia, or for us, in the United States, if our governments are unhappy with hostile, undesirable subversive elements. The question is what language to learn?

Well, for example, the Yankees in WWI have entered the nodding distribution, Germany is already bled. The troops at the mattresses are fresh. not frightened yet, packed at the very least, the enemy is already half dead ... And so they broke the striped ones, only there was a crunch! And exactly the same picture was repeated in the same place in WWII. And all why? There are ammunition, the people are sea, and they fought only with the savages with a numerical superiority.
      So China ... It is not known what is there. Yes, and it is doubtful that this fighter would change someone's plans

      It was this feature that allowed the USSR to compete with the United States.
      In addition, China has already created an experimental base and is constantly building up its scientific base. After some time, they will be able to create their own high-quality developments.
      Another important advantage of China is that it has practically equal opportunities with the United States to invest in new projects, but at the same time they can choose from objective reasons, without politics.

      They (the Chinese) are very good copywriters. In everything. But, further, something breakthrough is beyond their ability, obviously. Rip off, lick, pull off, add a couple of extra "nuts", yes! And the presence of an agromous population, even in the distant past, despite the fact that one (the Chinese) even allegedly invented gunpowder, somehow did not help them even once. For some reason, they lost all the wars of that time with a bang, to less small nations. In general, the point is not in the number of sewn room slippers and "licked" cars, but still in the quality of brains.
