J-31 Chinese Junk is for export only.

J-31 Chinese Junk is for export only.

The newest Chinese fighter J-31 receives more criticism than enthusiastic reviews from experts, and recently the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China said that this aircraft is intended only for export, reports October October FoxNews.com.

The J-31 was probably designed as the next generation fighter for Chinese aircraft carriers and should have been on a par with the F-35 Lightning II. But now, it seems, China, which has only one aircraft carrier, will offer these planes to Air Forces of second-tier countries, such as Brazil, Pakistan and some countries of the Middle East.

"Probably, the fighter was not originally created for export, but it seems that it turned out that it is not good enough," said Stephen Biddle, a political science professor at George Bush University, in an interview with FoxNews.com.

Even the Chinese press criticizes the combat aircraft created in the country, for example, the Sina Military Network claims that the J-15 carrier-based fighter could not take off from an aircraft carrier with "heavy weapons", which could have a negative effect on combat range and strike power.

aviation experts believe that based on limited information about the J-31, we can only claim that it is just a “cheap copy” of the American F-22. “The J-31 is a kind of copy of the most advanced (and problematic) American F-22 fighter. We see the same nose, two-keel vertical plumage and trapezoidal wings along with some stealth features, ”says former Italian Air Force pilot David Cenciotti. But Sensiotti said the J-31 probably doesn't have thrust vector engines that give the fighters superior maneuverability. He suspects that this aircraft was created on the basis of the study of American military aircraft, and not just the design of the F-117, shot down in 1999 by a Serbian anti-aircraft missile, hinting that the Chinese with the help of cyber attacks could get some useful technical drawings for them F-22 and F-35.

But no espionage and copying technology can provide the creation of high-tech aircraft, such as modern American fighters, says Congressman Adam Kinzinger. An Air Force veteran, he still serves as a National Guard Air Force pilot. “America has always produced and produces the best aviation technology in the world. Although China claims the great potential of J-31, I will remain a skeptic until I see evidence, ”he says.

Jane's Defense Weekly Asia Pacific Editor James Hardy believes there is no way to compare J-31 with other fighters, given the secrecy surrounding this aircraft. “There is limited data on J-31, and it is impossible to say whether it is superior or inferior to F-35. How can you evaluate the aircraft, if we do not know anything about the onboard radar, subsystems, avionics, and from what materials it is made. Of course, the forms (silhouette) of the airframe make it look like a fifth-generation fighter, but not knowing what materials it is made of, we cannot say anything about its EPR (effective area of ​​dispersion), ”said the expert.

Hardy adds that the lack of information and the fact that the fighter, bypassing its own air force, turned out to be an export product, can hinder its sales on the world market. “The key question is why the PLA Air Force is not going to put the J-31 into service, and the next question will be: if this plane is not good enough for China, then why should other countries buy it?” Hardy concluded.

              yeah, then Chinese dump trucks with self-lifting bodies carried 5 elevated pedestrian crossings in Vladivostok, filled several cars with rubble ... and they bought engines for their fighters from us, they couldn’t rip off: although the glider was stolen

            Yes, you throw angry admins, because they are people too. What to do, sometimes they will do everything according to the Bible and sometimes according to Capital ...
            On the other hand, they, besides the work and the “active knock” on the keyboard, are still responsible for the content and form of the site.
            Indeed, if you look and just compare the style of statements and behavior of members of the forum here and on other sites, then in my opinion the VO site is a cut above!

            After all, to make a cloaca from the patriotic site with the level of the forecourt buffet, a lot of work is not necessary.

            And let me ask you a question: - Why change Nicky here at all? Is it that, after “naughty like a cat on the rug”, so change the larva / larva?

            Here on the site I am attracted by the forum users, frankness and worry about the country that we ourselves allowed to steal from us, and concern and fears about the future of us all, not me, not you!
            Well, the fact that we are all different, and out of 50 members of the forum, one or two look at life and events as I do, so it does not matter, time itself will equalize all our different worldview points!

            I wish you a pleasant weekend, Mikhailo.

    That's when China learns to make a gas turbine engine for its aircraft, then it will be possible to talk about 5th generation Chinese fighters. And so this is balabalism from China, or their media. It is ridiculous to declare the export of an airplane that is not planned to be put into service at home. The funny thing is the fact that only last year this aircraft began to fly. China probably greatly succeeded in the aircraft industry, since they are trying to sell the aircraft without test flights.

      Well the US traded the F-5 quite successfully. And before that, they supplied to the USSR "Aerocobras", which were not in service in America, but the cars were cool, Pokryshkin nailed a considerable part of his combat account on them.

        But the F-5 was still in service with the United States, was a more serious opponent of the Soviet MiG-21, was used to imitate the MiG-21 in exercises. And the J-31, like the J-20, is not known what they are. And why do the Chinese buy the Su-35, if the J-20, according to them, is superior to the Su-35.

        So, after all, there is, besides the dough, many factors play a role in the appearance of geniuses, even the mental space and natural living conditions, the presence of iodine in food and a bunch of other things, is not so simple. And an advanced education system should be available, and not just on cramming, as it is now practiced in China - and there it is practiced, the survival system and the tough element of survival appear back in school, those who do not succeed in the middle classes are screened out and sent to professional education - a hairdresser, a salesperson, etc., moreover, the criterion for a good study is precisely the ability to learn, so that it bounces off the teeth - and on instilling in the student the ability to think and find a solution.

        In short, loot essentially does not solve much. Although, if there is money, and your government, in addition to money for your purposes, has still managed to carry out a competent PR-action in the world to attract geniuses from all over the world to the country, then a mixture of money with a certain concentration of geniuses can create a thermonuclear mixture. And we have seen these examples - the same so-called. "silicon Valley".
        Russia needs to learn to combine such hard-to-connect things in one place at the right time and convenient for Russia, and at the same time learn to prevent all sorts of crooks and thieves there at that moment. Most importantly, Russia still does not suffer from a shortage of geniuses. But with the rest ... They finish off the education system, try to loot, if not select it, then make it virtual or somehow depreciate, and besides this, the bureaucrats have enough of their own stupidity.

If you follow your logic, then we can write that Russia continues to "stupidly copy" the Su, since the Su-30SM and Su-35S that are just entering service are nothing more than modernized versions of the Su-27.

    But no espionage and copying technology can provide the creation of high-tech aircraft, such as modern American fighters, says Congressman Adam Kinzinger. An Air Force veteran, he still serves as a National Guard Air Force pilot. “America has always produced and produces the best aviation technology in the world. Although China claims the great potential of J-31, I will remain a skeptic until I see evidence, ”he says.

    Congressman Adam either does not know or is lying.
    USAA does not shy away from espionage and copying technologies, once the Russians planted such a pig for them that they almost went broke.
    About thirty years ago, flipping through a popular scientific and technical magazine, American intelligence officers stumbled upon an article by the Russian physicist Peter Ufimtsev, which stated that wing-type aircraft made of certain materials, especially faceted and painted, were practically invisible to radars .
    The article was very interested in American military experts, and in the United States decided to build and test such an aircraft.
    Attempts to create a "plane-complete invisibility" for a long time were unsuccessful. Only twenty years ago, the United States showed the world a miracle of military technology, similar to a bat or an alien ship. Two modifications of the "stealth" were made: the F-117 fighter-bomber and the B-2 heavy strategic bomber, which were used in the war against Iraq. A little later, the F-22 invisible fighter came into operation. It turned out that the technological breakthrough of the Americans in the production of "stealth" was associated with the emigration of Ufimtsev to the United States, which was involved in the creation of invisibility.
    For many years Ufimtsev did the same in the USSR. And not only him.
    In at least two Soviet design bureaus, various types of invisible aircraft were built and tested. The conclusion of the authoritative commissions was as follows:
    1) an invisible aircraft made according to the ideas of Ufimtsev, due to its shape, has low speed and maneuverability - in fact it is a hang glider, poorly adapted to combat maneuver and incapable of aerobatics;
    2) the aircraft can be detected visually and with special high-frequency radars; in addition, when bombs are opened and in some flight modes, it is visible with ordinary radars and can be easily shot down after a "notch";
    3) the cost of the aircraft is prohibitive.
    Conclusion: the construction of such aircraft is impractical; Moreover, this type of aircraft is a “dead end branch of the development of military aviation”.
    Therefore, at the beginning of the 1980-s, work on the Ufa’s "stealth" in the USSR was stopped. The offended designer left for the USA, where he realized at the expense of the Americans his “senseless" ideas, as time has proved,.

    One could speak about the relatively high quality of American military aviation equipment about 30-40 years ago, since then the Yusovites have pretty much degraded, and other countries have pretty risen.

      In fact, the appearance of the F-117 is due to a lack of computing power to calculate reflection. They’re such little ones. Accordingly, the problem was solved from the contrary, a calculable model created from planes was created, and it was already taught to fly. Accusations that without EDSU and computers the airplane is uncontrollable are not serious, since the Su-27 being statically unstable is also uncontrollable in principle, without a computer.
      So you can’t consider the idea of ​​a feil, the F-22 and T-50 appeared, and the T-50 may have even more chances to occupy the F-117 niche than to become the basis of air defense, although here it’s the fifth generation with over-the-air supersonic sound, it is precisely as a vehicle for delivering missiles to the intercept line that surpasses the 5th one.

    this aircraft was created on the basis of studying American military aircraft, and not just the design of the F-117, shot down in 1999 by a Serbian anti-aircraft missile, hinting that the Chinese with the help of cyber attacks could get some useful technical drawings of the F-22 and F-35.

    Since ancient times, China has always "hunted" for technology, and now this behavior is inherent in them. And I am sure that the modern breakthrough in everything is a consequence of foreign technologies, including ours (astronautics). Many, after the opening time, then attributed to themselves, only rewriting their history several times, obliterating their foreign teachers, if they could not be called Chinese. This is also inherent in modern China. And they did not understand something in the design of the aircraft, as a result they got trash that can be pushed into underdeveloped countries.

The innocent are awarded, the innocent are punished.
          You suggest stopping at such and such a point. Every day, changes take place on the flow received.
          And this is so, it seems to me.

    You are ransacked under the law,
    Before you, the court and the truth - keep quiet! ..

    But there is also God's judgment, confidants of debauchery!
    There is a terrible trial: he is waiting;
    It is not accessible to the ringing of gold,
    And he knows thoughts and deeds in advance.
    Then in vain you will resort to evil thoughts:

    It will not help you again !!! hi

    To our great regret, all, or almost all, consumer goods, and not only, are INHIBITED to us in Russia. Bad copies, good or not, are brought in to us, just like in Vanuatu ...

    They won’t want to lose a good market, which means they will take a while to attack.

    They will sell it to someone, look at the problems in operation, finalize and put into service. Pragmatic guys!

    The Americans, of course, are an "exceptional" nation, But the Chinese are ancient - they will catch up, we will still be surprised. Well done, that they do not hesitate to copy, it means that industrial intelligence is not asleep, saving money, gaining experience - they are far from being fools.

    Well, of course you can laugh at the Chinese as much as you like. But one day we stop laughing and we will see that the Chinese have already concocted their 5th generation of fighters and how popcorn punch them. Then it will be too late. The fact is that China is already not the one who was. and no one there with batons does not run after sparrows. The government and the people of China are working hard for the good of their state. They WORK. rather than tongue scratching

    Any "rival" should not be EVALUATED BEFORE, let alone the whole COUNTRY ... Yes

    Who would have recently thought that CHINA would be able to build PROTOTYPES:
    - manned spacecraft and station
    - aircraft J-20/31
    - aircraft carrier

    Not to mention tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, air defense and other weapons ...

    And for URA ... - I’ll ask, when will the second stage of the engine for the T-50 be implemented?
    Then compare it with the J-31 ...

      Very soon! The prototype of the second stage engine "product 117" is already ready for bench tests, the beginning of which is scheduled for the beginning of 2014 by the Lyulka Scientific and Technical Center.
      According to unconfirmed reports, the power plant will be able to develop traction of 107 kilonewtons in cruising flight mode and in 176 kilonewtons afterburner mode !!! fellow

    I am amazed at the stupidity and naivety of many forum participants, who still believe that the so-called. "copying" by the Chinese is a kind of process, where a million Chinese disassemble a mechanism to a screw, and then sit and figure out how to make it out of auxiliary materials. I must say that at first it was so, but now China has made a huge step, precisely in copying technologies and adjusting these technologies to their capabilities. The Chinese have created a huge center where they have assembled special stands, workshops, laboratories, etc., where various materials and technologies are studied. For example, various parts are immediately measured with lasers and light beams and general 3D models are created with an accuracy of a micron, the material from which this part was made is examined by express methods for composition and, right there, the supercomputer selects the technology by which this work could be made and selects it changes in the technological process, allowing you to make a similar part on your equipment and from suitable materials. And if there is no such technology in China, then the program indicates what is lacking and what needs to be done. It is not for nothing that the Chinese buy or steal ANY technologies of absolutely everything, all over the world. So that the Chinese "do not slurp soup with bast shoes" as we do, and do not "whistle" about their successes, which in Russia are just on paper and in the fantasies of "poztreots", but work, work and work again. And their successes speak for themselves - we dress them every day, ride them, use them every day, they furnish our rooms, we eat them, etc., etc.

      Good evening, dear "nickname without a name"!

      You are completely right in your assessment of the efforts, potential and results achieved by China! good This is a serious and very strong ally / adversary.

      I’ll add on my own that mocking them, underestimating their talents, perseverance and hard work - it can come out very expensive for us, you and many others are completely right in front of you!

      Indeed, by and large, both the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Uzbekistan, live on the backlogs of the SOVIET MIC, science, research institutes and our common talents!
      So far nothing new, breakthrough anywhere in the vast post-USSR, I have not seen !!!
      Everywhere there is a lot of idle talk, promises, eulogies and chronic postponements of the test dates, endings, fine-tuning, and serial production of new equipment - NO in any of our republic / sorry country.

      But the enemies / opponents are nevertheless being done, and in some areas they have gone far ahead, and we all “throw our hats”, as when parting with our beloved mother-in-law.

      It is possible that “I’m blind” and didn’t buy “rose-colored glasses”, didn’t get acquainted with the new “secret developments”, but we are very LAGGERING, for 22 years of collapse and “de * democracy” we have lost a lot, and it will take a long time to restore it and then only on condition that our "independent and independent" countries RELATE !!!
      Alone, then all of us at any moment in the corner can be strangled by “our friends / advisers” and we won’t even pickle.

      Sincerely, Mikhailo. hi

    Recently, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China stated that this aircraft is for export only,
    This is also art. The money was spent, but what they wanted was not received, so the question arises, what to do? You can just forget and reassure yourself with the thought that you have gained experience ..., or you can complete the project and "sniff" this "product" to others, getting money and knowing that even if they become your opponents with this "product", there is no particular threat ... What do you say - well done, scoundrels ... wassat

    The Americans came up with this article. They themselves have jambs with the 5th generation, so they show: "But China finally can not." And what they have is real, go and guess. It is no coincidence that Motorolla is bringing production to Texas.
