Recent news that China's J-20 fighter has completed a major technological upgrade - replacing the advanced "turbofan-15" engine, which has caused widespread discussion and shock at home and abroad. The J-20 has long been the pride of the Chinese Air Force, representing China's solid strength in military science and technology, but it has not been able to fully realize its potential due to long-standing engine problems. Now, with the new engine, the J-20 will usher in a huge leap forward, which also means that the last piece of the puzzle in China's air supremacy is filled, and for the PLA, no opponent can threaten their air superiority in the future.
The development of the J-20 can be described as a twist and turn. Initially, it was equipped with a Russian AL-31F engine, and although this engine performed well on fourth-generation fighters such as the Su-27, it was obviously incapable of the J-20, a heavy fifth-generation fighter. Even if the domestic turbofan-10C "Taihang" aviation was later installed, although the performance has been improved, it is still not comparable to the American F-22.
However, now, with the first flight test of the new generation of turbofan-15 engines, the performance of the J-20 will have a qualitative leap. According to reports, the afterburner thrust of the new engine has exceeded 16 tons, and may even reach more than 18 tons, which means that the comprehensive performance of the J-20 will surpass that of the American F-22 fighter. This groundbreaking upgrade has brought the PLA's air supremacy to a new level, even against the world's leading U.S. military.
The importance of this news is not only a technological breakthrough, but also reflects a change in China's military strategy. Recently, the PLA has adopted a tougher counterattack strategy in response to provocations by the United States and its allies along China's southeast coast, including powerful measures such as warplane wake jets and warship cross-cutting. At the same time, the scope of activities of PLA military aircraft and warships is no longer limited to the southeast coast, bravely stepping out of the first island chain and demonstrating its strength to the far seas.
This strategic adjustment occurred when the J-20 completed its first flight of the "core change", which also forced the United States and its allies to reassess the situation. China's rapid rise in the military field has made the PLA more and more powerful, not only in terms of combat effectiveness, but also in terms of technical reserves. The J-20 is just the beginning, and the PLA's fighters and other weapons and equipment will become more powerful in the future. This makes the US government's strategic choices in handling Sino-US relations less and less, and it seems that they have no other good choice but to abandon the strategic blockade of China.
In general, China's military strength is experiencing a rapid improvement, and the first flight of the J-20 is only an important node in this process. In the future, we can expect to see China play a more important role in the international military arena, while the United States needs to rethink how to deal with China, a rising military power, to maintain regional peace and stability.
