The United States has realized the equipment of a large number of F-35 stealth fighters, in addition to the deployment of a large number of land-based airfields in the US Air Force, the US military also has a large number of F-35B stealth fighters and F-35C stealth fighters that can be deployed on surface ships, but in recent years, the F-35 stealth fighters have shown one trouble after another. On April 30, the U.S. Defense News website pointed out that since 2023, Lockheed Martin delivered to the U.S. Marine Corps has found a number of problems on the five F-35C stealth fighters, including plastic scrapers falling from the wing folds and the fuel tanks of the F-35 stealth fighters are contaminated with metal debris, and the panoramic cockpit display screen that the F-35 stealth fighter is proud of has also failed, and the F-35 stealth fighter has failed one after another, and the fifth-generation aircraft is not only extremely expensive, but even the attendance rate of these fifth-generation aircraft is extremely low.
The United States has always been greedy for perfection in the process of manufacturing F-35 stealth fighters, and the United States not only hopes that these fighters can carry out land-based combat missions, but also needs them to carry out carrier-based aircraft missions at sea, and of course, the United States is constantly expanding the types of missions for F-35 stealth fighters, including carrying out more ground strike missions. The United States had hoped that the F-35 stealth fighter would become a multiplier system for the United States, but now the F-35B and F-35C stealth fighters have become out-and-out troublemakers.
The U.S. Navy's F-35C stealth fighter jet has crashed in the South China Sea, and in fact, the fifth-generation aircraft used as a carrier-based aircraft also faces more difficult security and maintenance problems. And it is actually not a simple matter to want a fighter to be satisfied with the three branches of the United States at the same time. On 1 May, the Fujian aircraft carrier had already set sail in Shanghai to carry out sea trials, but the Fujian aircraft carrier had not yet appeared a single stealth carrier-based fighter. Although many plans disclosed by foreign media show that the J-35 fighter will become the standard configuration of the Fujian aircraft carrier in the coming period, the J-35 fighter has not yet appeared on the aircraft carrier.
The J-35 fighter is not a completely new model, but an improved and upgraded model developed based on the FC-31 fighter. In addition, the primary task of the J-35 fighter is to meet the needs of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft, and not like the American F-35 stealth fighter to meet the needs of multiple services at the same time, the J-35 fighter after clarifying its own tasks and goals, the war research believes that the J-35 fighter can also become more reliable, so as to open up the advantage between the United States and the United States in the field of carrier-based aircraft of the fifth generation.
For a long time, domestic military fans have been ridiculing China in the process of weapons development, in addition to learning from Russia, it is to cross the river by feeling the stones of the United States, but the United States has fallen into a series of troubles in the process of using advanced weapons, and the War Research Institute believes that this is because the United States is too eager to achieve results, and China's steady and steady progress, although the speed is slightly slower than that of the United States, but the reliability of weapons and equipment is obviously higher.
