The Chinese press compared the new fighters from the Asia-Pacific region

38

Only three Asian countries can boast of new aircraft of their own design. The rest of the APR armies are forced to use other people's products, replenishing their battle formations in aviation.

However, new creations are not very different from each other. This was noticed in the Chinese press by publishing a photo collage showing the cars. Apparently, the author meant a similar design of products of various military industrial complexes: the aircraft have the same type of cockpit, the size and angle of inclination of the vertical tail in the tail section, the air intakes are located under the wings.



All Asians look the same

- noted on the China Defense Blog.

The author introduced the South Korean fighter KF-X, the Chinese Shenyang J-31 and the Japanese Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin into the photo collage. All three products are under development. The greatest results were achieved in the PRC: the J-31 first took to the air back in 2012. The Japanese product completed a similar task in 2016. In March of this year, the South Korean company KAI announced plans to make the first flight in 2022; the aircraft is currently being equipped with auxiliary systems.

All three countries claim their products are fifth generation fighters. The main arguments for these conclusions are the reduced signature of aircraft and the use of radar with AFAR.

    Interestingly, everyone thinks that stupid copying of the outer contours of the American F-22 automatically brings the plane to the requirements for the 5th generation? Very similar to the automotive industry, where the last 10 years, cars from different manufacturers have practically ceased to differ from each other.

    Koreans changed their shoes in the air? We planned 4 ++, but then they gave up and let it be the fifth, but the fact that the compartment for weapons does not fit in yet is nothing. It will be, but then.
    The Japanese, they write, has problems with being overweight, they planned 9, but got 13, but this is according to Vicki, who refers to Jiji News Agenc and from a flight five years ago. But on the other hand, Japs boast that the EPR is larger than an insect, but less than an average bird. The Americans also boasted and got a photo of the Raptor's tail from the Su-35

    It is necessary to take into account the ratio and importance of foreign components in the development, here at. KF-21 American engine. Shinshin is unlikely to go into production, why do they need an analogue of the F-35 when they have the F-35? They seem to be working on the F-3 already. And on Shinshin, I think they will experience elements of a new development. Besides, what are they? In vain did the F-35 program take part - very strange comparisons and statements in the Chinese press.

      Who will understand their Soul (as Shinshin seems to be translated). On paper, the deuce looks very soulful. Well, it loses to the Penguin in armament, but in terms of flight characteristics it is not inferior to the Raptor.
      It's interesting for the sixth generation (probably the top three will wear this index). Why did all the bourgeoisie suddenly announce the creation of the 6th generation, when the five is still raw? I suppose that the Su-57 is criticized purely for PR level 4 (detuning from a competitor). This bird scares, oh how scary

        Regarding a generation, a generation is a conventional term, it is better to say "next generation" making it clear that the development of systems of an advanced type is underway, in the fifth generation it is stealth and AFAR, some common features will be in the sixth generation. This is just a term, the technique is, of course, created for certain tasks for the future.
        The next generation fighter is being developed both in the Russian Federation and in China, it is simply not advertised about it. The Americans have rightfully switched to the development of the sixth generation, they have already run in their fifth, not without problems, of course. But it is worth remembering that the Raptor began to be operated back in 1999 (Viki)
        The Europeans, on the other hand, went straight to the next generation, due to the fact that it is too late to do the fifth, and they no longer want to buy the conditional F-45 from the Americans or depend on it too much.
        What is the reason for the Japanese I cannot say, maybe the same as that of the Europeans
        And there have already been jumps between generations, 1-2-3 for example. So I don't think that someone was scared of someone

          The Raptor and Penguin Program started in 199X. A source. My commander of the combat support platoon, who carried all the aviation magazines to me on the P-12. Well, so that I know more precisely by the mark what kind of psisa is hanging on my IKO. The Raptor is purely for Americans. The penguin is a general development based on American patterns, which the Soviets will steal anyway.
          With regard to generation, generation is a conventional term

          Conditionally shot down or conditionally won, conditionally completed the task what can be the conventions in aviation? The Raptor and Su-57 fighters of the fifth generation of air supremacy are not at all arbitrary. Penguin - for conducting network-centric actions in the air of the fifth generation, and the same is not conditional. By the way, we do not have an analogue of the Penguin. But in terms of performance characteristics, the unmanned "Hunter" being developed is the closest

                Not really. It's clear about supersonic. And what should be the maximum EPR? And what about the characteristics of the radar? I was talking about the official requirements. If let's say the MiG-41 will not have stealth, but will have a speed of over 5 max. Will it be the fourth generation? Or fifth? Or maybe even the sixth? And the F-35 does not have supersonic sound without afterburner. That is, it meets one of two requirements, which generation is it? Is it the fifth anyway? But Rafal (if I'm not mistaken) has supersonic sound without afterburner, but does not have stealth. He also meets one requirement out of two, what generation is he then? I don’t need to talk about conventionally shot down or not shot down. There is no exact table in the world that shows the minimum requirements for a given generation. That is why these generations are conditional. Yes, it is convenient to classify for generations. But the military does not want a certain generation, they primarily want certain characteristics.

                  most commentators who manipulate booklet characteristics do not even understand what they are for. Probably so that bulo. But in fact, for example, what does the cruising SZ give? A supersonic flight speed without using the afterburner. That is, in addition to reducing the engine resource, this is a plus to the flight range (fuel consumption) and a minus in the visibility in the infrared spectrum for t gases of the jet stream.
                  And what should be the maximum EPR?

                  no one will tell the truth. And he won't even write in an advertising brochure. Because the real OEP is a secret sealed with seven seals.

                      Let me help you a little and tell you, for the hundredth time !!! The aircraft of the 5th generation is the main element of the network-centric system! If there is no network-centric system, there is no 5th generation aircraft. You can buy the F35 aircraft from the pi_ndos, but without the American network-centric system, it will not be a 5th generation aircraft! Israel is converting the F35 to its own system, their aircraft is the only one that remains a 5th generation aircraft. For all the rest of the "tobacco" it will be such when using the P_ndosky network-centric system ... They do not have their own .... this is understandable with China and with Russia too. There are some developments, but they do not have network-centric systems ... except for air defense systems, but these are specific systems and they do not cover the entire range of combat use of information systems ... Although the minimum conditions, taking into account the specifics of modern combat operations, are not so remote .. But this is a separate topic ...

                    Why? In the States, there have been many stealth exercises against air defense.
                    They flew over radars of different ranges in all angles
                    and at all heights. With full monitoring.
                    The EPR was also checked in the flights of fighters on a collision course.
                    So, there are full practical, not theoretical measurements.
                    EPR of American stealth F-22, F-35, V-2.
                    For example, it turned out that the EPR F-35 less, not more,
                    than the F-22, as previously declared by the manufacturer.

Personally, I watched the flight of the Black Hoyk prototype and nothing from the usual regulars of the Baltic sky - the Tornado did not differ in the mark on the radar, but the P-15 and DKP did not really see it

                        Based on the results of such exercises, they determine which radars, in what angle, at what distance the stealth can approach without the danger of being shot down. Otherwise, why stealth at all? Practice.

Well, you have a mark on the radar, at a certain distance you can take off the parameters for range, direction of flight, altitude, speed, etc. Where is here and how will you calculate the image intensifier?

                        Just as it is calculated before the plane first took off into the air - even at the design stage. The prototype is lifted to the top of a high bar, where it can be swiveled at different angles. And there it is irradiated with radars of different wavelengths from different distances.

                  The main thing here is the ability to work in the range 0,8M-1,25M without afterburner, this gives a total superiority over the classic "4K".

                  Make no mistake, up to 1,4 M with weapons. Eurofighter and Gripen also have it. This is one of the reasons for the lack of clean 5s in Europe. Their planes are already superior to ours and Chinese fighters; in combination with Avaks, low visibility is not so necessary.

                        The afterburner will drain the fuel tanks in a matter of seconds. Therefore, it is used in force majeure situations: either for a decisive attack, or for a decisive escape from an enemy attack. After a couple of afterburners - return to the base on the remains of fuel.

              “The Penguin wins only in terms of weapons. All flight performance characteristics for the Japanese "Soul"
              The remarkable Soviet hockey player Vyacheslav Starshinov, when he was well over 30, was still invited to play for the Soviet national team. The coaches of the national team were criticized for this, they say, “old, runs slowly,” to which Starshinov replied that no hockey player can outstrip the speed of the puck. They kept him in the team due to accurate and unexpected passes, leaving the enemy defenders unawares and outnumbered.
              Although the penguin loses in speed and maneuverability, it wins in many ways when compared with the J-31.
              “The J-31 has a subtle aerodynamic design and is likely to also have an invisible coating, but the factors that may differentiate it from the F-35 are the presence of radio-absorbing coating materials and the use of internal weapons bays. China does not have such materials yet. Beijing lacks the extensive electronic support and air-to-air refueling capabilities currently possessed by American stealth fighters such as the F-35 and F-22 Raptor, according to Global Security. At the moment, it is also not clear whether the J-31 will be adopted as a carrier-based naval fighter. In addition, even if the fighter does indeed possess aircraft carrier capabilities, it is not known whether it will be able to operate from two PLA Navy aircraft carriers with flight jump decks. "
