With the progress of the times, the situation of modern warfare is also further developing, technology is also constantly improving, and the position of electronic warfare aircraft in air combat is becoming more and more important. The J-15D electronic warfare aircraft, as an important part of China's shipborne electronic warfare, has attracted much attention. Even, many netizens wondered: Why can it become the king of birds of prey in electronic air combat?
The J-15 carrier-based fighter, as one of the main models of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft, has excellent combat performance and navigation capabilities, and is an important part of China's naval aviation force.
According to the data, the length of the fighter reached 22.28 meters, the wingspan width was 15 meters, and the maximum load state in wartime could reach 32.5 tons. Netizens who have a certain understanding of military fighters must know that such data can make them have a strong load capacity in maritime operations, and can effectively carry more weapons and equipment and fuel, prolonging how long it lasts on the battlefield.
In addition, the fighter is also equipped with two domestic "China Core" turbofan 10-B series engines. At this time, do not underestimate this engine, because it is one of the advanced aero engines independently developed by Continental. And it has the advantages of extremely high reliability, low maintenance cost, and performance without loss.
The turbofan 10-B series engine is one of the advanced aero engines in Continental and is widely used in many types of military aircraft. It features a modern turbofan design and advanced combustion technology. It can also provide strong power support.
Its maximum flight speed can also reach Mach 2.4, which means that the J-15 has excellent supersonic flight capabilities. In this way, it can quickly maneuver on the battlefield, achieve rapid penetration and air supremacy, and effectively improve its survivability and combat effectiveness in a complex air combat environment.
At the same time, the J-15 carrier-based aircraft also has excellent performance in terms of combat performance and weapon configuration, providing strong air combat support for the naval fleet.
First of all, the J-15 has a maximum range of about 3500 km when fully loaded with fuel, and the combat radius supported in combat is about 1400 km.
Maybe when it comes to this, some netizens don't understand, so it seems that they still have doubts. But to put it more bluntly, it can perform long-range missions over long distances, and can last a certain amount of time in battle, providing continuous air cover and support for the naval fleet.
Secondly, the weapon configuration is also very powerful. The fuselage is equipped with 12 weapon attachment points, which can be equipped with a variety of domestic advanced missile weapons, including: YJ-83K anti-ship missile, Thunderbolt-8 short-range combat missile, Thunderbolt-12 medium-range air-to-air missile, etc.
These missiles have high-precision and long-range strike capabilities, which can effectively hit enemy ships, radar facilities, and air targets, improving the J-15's diversified application capabilities in combat.
In addition, it is equipped with an aerial gun with a size of 23 mm, which is mainly used for close air combat. You must know: this kind of aerial artillery, with extremely strong firepower and rate of fire, can effectively fight enemy aircraft and UAVs, and improve the survivability and combat effectiveness of the J-15 in close air combat.
After understanding the above content, we have to admit that the J-15D electronic warfare aircraft is an important part of the shipborne electronic warfare of the Chinese Navy, and its unique position in the field of electronic warfare cannot be ignored. And it's not for nothing that it can be the king of raptors in electronic air combat.
Reason 1: It is equipped with a more advanced electronic warfare system, which can make it have a powerful jamming and attack capability on the battlefield, and in the process, by jamming the enemy's radar system, it will eventually weaken its monitoring and detection capabilities, and provide stealth cover for our fighters.
At the same time, it can also interfere with the enemy's communication links and command systems, disrupt the enemy's command and dispatch, weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness, and occupy an advantageous position in electronic air combat.
Reason 2: In addition to the electronic warfare system, it also retains the original combat capabilities of the J-15, including strong air combat capabilities and bomb-carrying capabilities, which means: the J-15D can not only play a role in electronic warfare, but also be able to perform other combat missions, with high battlefield adaptability and flexibility.
Reason 3: The fighter itself is an electronic warfare aircraft independently developed by the mainland, so it has the advantage of being independent and controllable. Its electronic warfare system and related equipment are all localized, which can fully meet the operational needs of the Chinese Navy and ensure the sustainable development and improvement of combat effectiveness.
Therefore, the J-15D electronic warfare aircraft can indeed become the king of raptors in electronic air warfare by virtue of its advanced electronic warfare system, comprehensive combat capabilities, and independent research and development advantages.
In short, the J-15D electronic warfare aircraft, with its excellent performance parameters, excellent weapon configuration, and advanced electronic warfare system, has become the king of the Raptor in electronic air combat. Its outstanding performance in naval and air combat has not only enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Navy, but also demonstrated the strong strength and technical level of China's shipborne electronic warfare.
