AvIC WeChat public account article information disclosed that on April 12, the 71st anniversary of the development of the new Chinese aviation industry and the stride of the new era of aviation power new journey large-scale symphonic chorus concert "Blue Sky Praise" premiere National Centre for the Performing Arts press conference was held in Beijing.
Ren Yukun, head of the aviation industry discipline inspection and supervision team and member of the party group, said in his speech that in 2021, the aviation industry has fully completed various assessment tasks. The J-20 strong army serves the country and replaces the Chinese "heart", and the war patrol in the East China Sea and the police patrol in the South China Sea have become the norm of training.
Mature combat power
According to the political knowledge, although the official media has previously exposed the J-20 cruise and training pictures, it has achieved normalized combat patrols in the East China Sea and police patrols in the South China Sea, which is the first time it has been officially confirmed.
Military commentator Song Zhongping Xiangzheng said that this statement undoubtedly shows that the Platon Army has formed a mature combat effectiveness so far, and whether it is the number of equipment, the mastery of technology and tactics, and the convergence and cooperation of the system, it has reached the level of "being able to fight when called upon, and being able to win in battle." In addition, the two seas mentioned in the statement, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, mean that the PLA's eastern theater and southern theater have been reloaded with J-20s.
He said: "The J-20 has undertaken the combat readiness and combat tasks in the main direction of the mainland, which not only has a morale-boosting effect on the commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army and all the Chinese people, but also can effectively safeguard the interests of the mainland's maritime frontiers." At the same time, like the Navy's 055 large destroyer, the service and combat effectiveness of the J-20 means that our army's front-line main battle equipment and the world's first military power, the United States, are on a par with each other. ”
"War Patrol" and "Police Patrol"
Looking closely at the expression of the aviation industry, the cruise of the J-20 in the East China Sea is "battle patrol", and the cruise in the South China Sea is "police patrol".
What is the difference between the two?
In this regard, Song Zhongping said that "war patrol" can be understood as combat readiness patrol, and "police patrol" can be understood as alert cruise. Compared to the two, the rank of the battle patrol is higher. Combat patrols are more prominent in actual combat and all-state cruises. In the course of carrying out a mission, once a sudden situation occurs, the combat task can be carried out immediately. Compared with police patrols, they pay more attention to vigilance, early warning and patrolling.
He analyzed that the defense threats facing the mainland in the East China Sea include the United States, Japan, and the Taiwan authorities, and the situation is relatively tense. "The United States has their stealth fighters in Japan and South Korea, and they will also patrol the waters of the East China Sea, and we are really facing greater defense pressure in this direction." The J-20's normalized 'battle patrol' in the East China Sea will greatly enhance our initiative and better safeguard our maritime security. ”
J-20 East Sea meets F-35
A few days ago, the US military disclosed that the US F-35 fighter met with the J-20 in the East China Sea and praised the J-20.

On March 31, Wu Qian, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense at a regular press conference, responded to the close encounter between the J-20 and the US F-35 fighter, saying that the People's Air Force shoulders the sacred duty of defending the national airspace security. It must be emphasized that in safeguarding national sovereignty and security issues, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has always dared to show its sword and is good at shining its sword.
Song Zhongping said that it was not surprising that the J-20 met with the STEALTH fighters of the US military over the East China Sea, and it will also appear regularly in the future. "The stealth fighters deployed by the United States in the Asia-Pacific region are mainly concentrated around the waters of the East China Sea. Before the J-20 joins the cruise, the United States may still think that it has a generation difference advantage for us from the perspective of equipment, but this advantage no longer exists. ”
According to the data, the J-20 is the first manned stealth fighter equipped by the mainland, and the prototype first flew in 2011. In 2017, the J-20 participated for the first time in a three-plane formation to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and in the same year, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense officially announced that the J-20 had been delivered to the troops in batches.
Song Zhongping commented that at present, in the world, stealth fighters (fifth-generation fighters) are in service and have formed mature combat capabilities, only two in China and the United States, and the J-20 is one of the most advanced fighters. "Judging from various technical and tactical indicators, the J-20 is at the same level as the most advanced F-22 in the United States, and some indicators have been surpassed."
However, he also pointed out that it is of little significance to simply compare the two types of equipment, and the level of combat effectiveness should be examined in the entire combat system.
