In the Northern Joint 2024 exercise, dozens of Chinese ships gathered in the Sea of Japan, and a state-to-state military cooperation began.
This joint military exercise is a military exercise specially held by China and Russia in order to cope with the increasingly tense situation in their neighborhood, resist military pressure from Western countries, and promote exchanges and tactical progress between the officers and men of the two navies.
At the same time, in order to cope with military oppression from the western sky, China's 390,000 air force and 3,000 combat aircraft are on standby. In the East China Sea and sky, there will be a peak duel with the Western forces again and again.
The F35 lightning attack, the J-20 Veyron pierced the sky, and the most advanced fighters between the two worlds fought one peak battle after another.
It seems to be declaring, who is the new king of the sky?
The Chinese side seems to be at ease, and the United States side seems to be in a compelling situation, but in fact it is strong and powerful.
Why did the United States hesitate to do this? It turned out that the four major shortcomings of the US Air Force were inferior to the PLA.
First, the scale of equipment
Since two thousand years later, United States equipped with F22 fighters, the world air combat field has entered a new competitive track.
Fighter jets, where traditional maneuverability has been the focus, are now increasingly making stealth the number one priority for technical indicators.
Among the world's advanced fighters, whoever has good stealth performance has a greater chance of winning the war.
Chinese and United States air fighters have played a 1:100 battle loss ratio in simulated confrontations, and you should know that this is the limit of simulated war, not the limit of real war.
In other words, as long as aviation and bombs are allowed, the battle loss ratio will rise again.
The F22 fighter jet that was put into service after 06 years has been proven by history to be difficult to use in the foreign power.
Although there are still 187 fighters, they cannot actually be integrated with the data link, and in the field of modern air combat dominated by early warning aircraft, these fighters are destined to be only live targets.
The real home fighter of the US Air Force is now the F35, and it is said that the number of existing equipment has exceeded 500, and the global production of F35 has exceeded 1,000 aircraft.
In terms of quantity, the F35 model is already the world's largest among the five generations of aircraft.
Corresponding to China, it was disclosed that there are about 2,000 fighters and more than 300 J-20 equipment.
Does that mean that China is powerless in a war against United States? Not really.
According to the disclosure of follow-up media in the United States and the West, the F35 has greater hidden dangers in design and logistics.
In March this year, the United States Pentagon announced that F35 fighters are expected to produce more than 150 per year, which seems to be a surging production number, but in fact to cover up the embarrassment of the US Air Force without organic availability.
Imagine if the U.S. Air Force is really as large as its advertised equipment, why is it so cowardly?
According to some data, only 55% of the F35 in the US Air Force can still fly normally and cruise normally, and there are still 966 technical problems with this model.
If these deficiencies cannot be remedied, then the aircraft may have unexpected risks in combat.
Therefore, the United States Air Force advertised the scale of 500 equipment, but the actual number of combatable aircraft was far less than that of the mainland, so it is no wonder that the United States is very urgent to expand the scale of production.
Second, the performance gap
The fifth-generation aircraft takes 4S as the standard, super maneuverable, super stealth, supersonic cruise, and super situational awareness.
In terms of mobility, the design positioning of the F35 as a universal combat platform seriously limits its mobility.
When designing this fighter, the United States required versatility to meet the requirements of both the Navy and the Air Force, so one fighter was divided into three models.
Generally speaking, such a large-scale cutting modification on a combat platform will inevitably result in a large amount of design weight waste and structural redundancy.
For example, the F35B has one lift fan, while the other two do not.
With the same body and the same engine, the other two models had to be balanced by an additional weight.
In the aviation industry, there has always been a habit of constantly striving to reduce the weight by one gram.
The F35 wasted the weight of the aircraft on such a large scale, and finally it had to carry the weight of a medium-sized fighter with the size of a light fighter.
In order to increase the thrust of the engine, the United States has increased the bypass ratio of the F35 for the first time, which makes it have high thrust while losing high speed.
A set of basic operational theories for modern air warfare lies in the theory of energy conversion.
Relevant experts believe that close-range air combat is essentially a continuous conversion between engine thrust and combat gravity potential energy, which puts forward higher requirements for high-speed performance.
United States fighters are weak in this regard, and even if they can quickly change the direction of the nose through vector thrust technology, it cannot reverse the status quo of their continuous loss of gravitational potential energy.
And in terms of lift coefficient, the Chinese J-20 has comprehensively benchmarked and surpassed the F22, and the F35 has been confirmed to be a weakened version of the F22 airframe design.
Therefore, the ability of the Chinese J-20 to convert potential energy is higher than that of the F35.
Moreover, the F35 engine has a large air intake, which seriously increases the drag of the aircraft, so this fighter has been proven to be unable to enter supersonic speed without afterburner.
The so-called supersonic cruise means that the aircraft enters supersonic speed without afterburner and cruising for a long time.
This can be done in China, and the design of the United States F35 is destined to be unmatched.
The Chinese J-20 is backward in United States quantity and quality, especially the newly designed J-20B, which has been proven to be the world's first 5.5 generation fighter.
China's engine technology, which has been criticized for many years, is now being met with the new turbofan 15 engine entering service.
Directly make it a global existence that surpasses F22, a punch from the hegemon, and asks how F35 can resist?
Third, the available equipment is insufficient
The confrontation between armies has never been a comparison of paper data between weapons.
Today, although the United States is equipped with a large number of F35s, due to its short range, the actual number that can cover East Asia is extremely limited.
In addition to the advanced fighters provided by traditional allies Japan and Korea, United States can mainly rely on the seventy or eighty F18s carried on its aircraft carriers.
Previously, the United States Air Force has been confirmed to be about to resume production of F18 to make up for the lack of combat power caused by F35.
This fighter is a standard fourth-generation aircraft, and its comprehensive combat performance is not as good as the first-generation J-15 built by China.
Today United States although it has 11 aircraft carriers, it is 1/3 maintenance, 1/3 rotation, and 1/3 of the mission.
United States can send at most two aircraft carriers to East Asia at once, otherwise its hegemony in the Atlantic domain will be shaken.
With one hundred and fifty or sixty F18s, it is simply wishful thinking to comprehensively suppress the Chinese Air Force.
Worse still, the United States is located opposite China, and United States can only rely on its bases and transport ships for long-range attacks.
However, the amount of such guarantees is limited after all, and traditional Japan and South Korea are limited by United States there is no large-scale industrial construction.
Therefore, even if China and the United States are equal in combat strength, as the war continues United States there will be problems in the supply of weapons and equipment.
Once modern weapons have no logistical support, they are basically no different from a pile of scrap metal on the ground.
At present, China already has three aircraft carriers, all of which can be mobilized to participate in the East China Sea in an emergency, and according to rumors, China's latest model of stealth carrier-based aircraft has already entered service.
In other words, under the existing system, China's carrier-based aircraft have formed an overwhelming advantage over the United States and the West, and the terrible battle loss ratio of 1:100 may be possible to switch from exercises to actual combat.
Fourth, systematic operations are backward
Once upon a time, the confrontation between the air forces was only between planes and planes.
Since the beginning of the new century, the extensive service of early warning aircraft has made the Air Force more and more dependent on the system for operations.
Although the fighter also has a radar, it seems that it has been transformed from a main force into a firepower delivery platform. Usually, when the aircraft attacks, it will be followed by an early warning aircraft in the air.
In the field of AWACS, especially in radar, China is already ahead of United States at least one generation.
This can be seen from the fact that China's early warning aircraft have blossomed in many places in recent years.
Compared with China's continuous dumplings, the United States can only continue to revise and modify on the basis of E2.
E2 is the king of the Navy's carrier-based early warning aircraft, but compared with the early warning aircraft that takes off from land, it is like a little brother meeting a big brother, and the comprehensive combat performance cannot be compared at all.
And China also has fire support from ground-based radars, ground support forces, and air defense forces.
The pilots of the Chinese Air Force are not fighting on their own, and with the logistical support provided by the ground, the Chinese Air Force can detect and fire the enemy as early as possible in the air.
Under the system of modern anti-aircraft missiles, once locked by enemy anti-aircraft missiles, there is almost no possibility of getting out.
The sooner you spot the enemy, the more likely you are to save yourself.
China's most powerful ultra-long-range air-to-air missile has a range of up to 500 km, which can not only kill enemy air force fighters from a long distance, but also shoot down enemy early warning aircraft in advance.
Then the enemy will be blind, and I will be left to slaughter.
With this strong point, what will your United States Air Force win?
epilogue
If China and the United States fight each other in the Pacific, China may only be able to defend, but if it is at China's doorstep, it will certainly not be China that will be bullied.
With logistics support, fighter performance, combat system, and equipment scale all far away from China, it is inconceivable for United States to dare to come to China's door and be reckless.
Maybe it's clinging to the glory of the past and refusing to give up, or maybe there's luck in the heart and wants to gamble, but in any case, the result of United States is only a failure.
