In recent years, the development of the mainland air force can be described as changing with each passing day, especially the continuous appearance of the two advanced fighters J-20 and J-10, which have attracted widespread attention. So, what is the PLA laying out at this moment to accelerate the production of the J-20 while retaining the J-10 production line? This article will uncover this mystery for you.
1. J-20: A weapon for air superiority
As a fifth-generation stealth fighter independently developed by the mainland, the J-20 has attracted much attention since its inception. Its strong stealth performance, supersonic cruise capability, advanced electronic equipment and weapon systems make it a key equipment for the continental air force to achieve air superiority.
In recent years, the production of J-20 has increased year by year, and batch after batch of J-20 fighters have been delivered to the Air Force, which undoubtedly shows the mainland's ambition in terms of air power. So, why is the PLA accelerating the production of the J-20 at this time?
2. Responding to the complex security situation
At present, the security situation around the mainland is becoming increasingly complicated. On the one hand, the United States is constantly increasing its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region and frequently conducting military exercises, posing a serious threat to the mainland; on the other hand, Japan, India, and other countries are also actively expanding their armaments in an attempt to play a greater role in regional affairs. Against this background, it is necessary for the mainland to strengthen its air force in order to ensure national security and regional stability.
As the killer feature of the Continental Air Force, the mass production of the J-20 will help improve the combat effectiveness of the Continental Air Force and effectively deal with potential threats. At the same time, the advanced technology of the J-20 will also promote the development of the continental aviation industry and prepare it for future wars.
3. J-10: An indispensable all-rounder
At the same time as the mass production of the J-20, the Continental Air Force did not abandon the production of the J-10. As a third-generation fighter, although the J-10 cannot be compared with the J-20 in terms of performance, it still has an important position in the Air Force.
First of all, the J-10 has a high price-performance ratio. Compared with the J-20, the J-10 has lower production and operating costs and is suitable for large-scale equipment. Secondly, the J-10 has strong multi-purpose capabilities and can perform a variety of missions such as air combat, ground attack, and reconnaissance. Finally, the continued production of the J-10 will help to maintain the production capacity and technological level of the continental aviation industry.
Fourth, the strategic layout: systematization, diversification
Based on the above analysis, we can see that the PLA is accelerating the production of the J-20 at this time, while retaining the production line of the J-10, which is actually carrying out a systematic and diversified strategic layout.
On the one hand, through the mass production of the J-20, the continental air force will have more advanced fighters with air superiority and improve its overall combat effectiveness; on the other hand, retaining the J-10 production line will help maintain the size and diversity of the air force and deal with different security threats.
In addition, this strategic layout will also contribute to the long-term development of the mainland's aviation industry. Under the joint impetus of the J-20 and J-10, the continental aviation industry will continue to accumulate experience, improve its technical level, and prepare for future wars.
In short, the PLA accelerated the production of the J-20 at this time, while retaining the production line of the J-10, not only to cope with the current complex security situation and improve the combat effectiveness of the continental air force, but also to promote the development of the aviation industry and prepare for future wars. This strategic layout fully embodies the mainland's determination and ability to safeguard national security and world peace. In the days to come, we look forward to more brilliant achievements of the Continental Air Force with the help of the J-20 and J-10.
