J-10 fighter: the pride of flying in China's blue sky
Fighter jet, like a warrior soaring in the blue sky, behind it, is not only the power of technology, but also a country's dream and self-confidence, in the history of China's aviation, the J-10 fighter is like a bright star, with its outstanding performance and unique charm, has become the pride of China's aviation industry
When you imagine, the morning sun shines on the runway, the roar rings in your ears, it is a J-10 fighter is preparing to take off, whether it is its smooth shape, or the dazzling maneuverability, all of which are exciting, but don't underestimate this steel giant bird, behind it is the hard work and dedication of several generations of aviation people in the mainland, carrying the trust of countless dreams, next, let us go deep into this mysterious and proud world, sort out the history, technology and actual combat performance of this fighter
The Beginning of History: A Firm Choice
The picture comes from the Internet
In China in the 1980s, with the changes in the international situation, especially the increase in the surrounding military environment and external threats, we realized the importance of independent research and development of advanced fighters
In this era, 15, 16, MiG-29 and Su-27 and other fourth-generation fighters have emerged in the international market, in the face of such competition, China's aviation industry did not hesitate, decided to develop a fighter of its own, after in-depth market research and technical analysis, the J-10 project came into being, quickly attracted many outstanding aviation engineers and technical teams
Technical research: overcoming obstacles
The road to technology research and development is not smooth, especially in the 80s, China's aviation technology is relatively backward, facing huge technical challenges, the design team of the J-10, in order to break through many difficulties, almost forgot to sleep and eat, and screened out the optimal design from various possible schemes
The introduction of new technologies, such as the choice of canard layout, active control, and fly-by-wire systems, is the result of countless discussions and experiments, and in this process, the team not only needs to understand the development of international advanced technology, but also has to combine China's own actual situation, which is bound to fight a "tough battle"
The picture comes from the Internet
The supporting 10 thrust turbofan engines encountered technical bottlenecks, had to seek external technical support, and finally decided to use Russia's 31 first to accelerate the completion of the fighter, although this choice is helpless, but it also shows the pragmatic attitude and uncompromising spirit of Chinese engineers in a specific environment
Test flight overflight: a major milestone
On March 23, 1998, J-10 successfully made its first flight in Chengdu, which became an important milestone in the history of Chinese aviation, and the picture of the success of the first flight is still engraved in the hearts of many aviation people
In 2002, after the completion of the basic test flight, the J-10 fighter was produced in advance and delivered to the troops, which is not only a technological breakthrough, but also shows the Chinese military's trust in this fighter, and in 2004, the J-10 fighter was officially finalized and put into mass production, marking that China has its own fourth-generation fighter
Combat effectiveness display: the test of actual combat performance
The picture comes from the Internet
After the J-10 fighter is installed, the actual combat capability has been tested, in many exercises and confrontations, J-10 and Su-27, 15 and other external fighters on the same stage, repeatedly showed excellent maneuverability and combat ability, in these competitions, J-10 not only showed a good reaction speed and flexibility, but also won a lot of praise
In a confrontation exercise with a certain type of Western fighter plane, the J-10 used its superb maneuverability and precise locking ability to win consecutive victories, shocking foreign pilots
Presumably, many people, like me, can't help but be proud of this fighter, which is not only a fighter, but also a symbol of our country's scientific and technological self-reliance
Continuous improvement: Improvement and upgrading
With the rapid development of global aviation technology, the development team of the J-10 fighter is not satisfied with the status quo, but realizes that it must constantly upgrade and improve itself, and the J-10 and J-10 have appeared one after another, gradually showing more powerful combat capabilities
The picture comes from the Internet
The biggest feature of the J-10 fighter is that the air intake tract has been replaced, becoming the second fighter to adopt this design after the 35, and the comprehensive upgrade of the avionics system and the application of new radars have improved the maneuverability and detection capabilities of the J-10
The development of the 10 large turbofan engine is still constrained by difficulties, and in order to ensure the progress of the project, it was finally decided to carry the 311 engine, which marks the further improvement of the J-10's actual combat capability to serve the Chinese Air Force
In the process of these improvements, the excellent performance of the J-10 series fighters has attracted the attention of foreign cooperation, especially in Southeast Asia, and some countries have shown strong interest in the J-10
Going International: The "diplomatic" role of the J-10
Internationally, the J-10 is not only a fighter, but also has become part of the "diplomacy" of the Chinese military, and the Pakistan Air Force has formally reached an agreement with China to introduce about 20 J-10 fighter jets
The picture comes from the Internet
In the actual combat exercises in Pakistan, the performance of the J-10 shined, and its combat capabilities were verified on the spot, and it was even rumored that in the confrontation with the 15, the J-10 showed an excellent record and defeated the opponent with a score of 9:0, such a result undoubtedly shocked Western countries
In addition to Pakistan, the Egypt Air Force has also issued a request for the J-10, because in the long-term cooperation with the West, they have been limited to obtain advanced weapons and equipment, and the introduction of the J-10 just fills the gap in their arsenal and improves combat capabilities
Flying Wildly: Feedback from the Blue Sky
For the J-10 fighter, the blue sky is its stage, in many international air shows, it has once again attracted the attention of the world with its elegant flight posture and exquisite movements, in these performances, the J-10 is not only the epitome of China's aviation technology, but also a symbol of national strength
Walking on the neat fighter formation, the tacit cooperation and precise control of the pilots are intoxicating, and with the completion of a series of complex actions, fireworks bloom in the air like a rainbow, showing China's self-confidence and pride
The picture comes from the Internet
These glorious moments undoubtedly gave the J-10 a lot of due glory, and behind every flight, there are countless people's efforts and persistence, which is the embodiment of our technology and technology
Looking for the future: the possibilities are endless
Looking back on the past, the J-10 is not only a business card of the Chinese Air Force, but also a witness to the development of China's science and technology, from the initial design to today's efficient combat aircraft, this process is the epitome of China's aviation industry from scratch, from weak to strong
Looking forward to the future, the J-10 series will not only continue to play a role in actual combat, its technology and concept will certainly affect the design and development of future fighters, China's aviation technology has accumulated huge experience in the load, which has laid a solid foundation for the follow-up fighter project
As a pilot, when operating such an advanced fighter, he carries not only personal glory, but also the responsibility and mission of the country, and we look forward to seeing the return of the J-10 king in the future sky and continue to contribute to the security and peace of the country
The flight of every J-10 fighter is telling the story of China's aviation, flying thousands of miles in the sky, welcoming a more brilliant future, no longer just a dream but a vision that is being realized!
