Yu Zeyuan: Chinas J-35 wants to ＂annihilate＂ F-35?

The news of the Chinese Navy's new generation of stealth carrier-based aircraft F-35 test flight has exploded the lapse of the military in the past few days.On July 22, a high-definition spy photo of the J-35 was exposed on the Internet. This fighter number 350003 has been sprayed with the official painting of the Navy, showing that the name of this fighter has been set to the J-35.

The progress of China's military technology has always been strictly confidential. The high-definition photos of the J-35 can be circulated on the Internet, indicating that the relevant parties have acquired the release of the photos, and it is not far from the official service of the J-35.

The predecessor of the J-35 is the FC-31 that has been verified for many years.As early as October 31, 2012, the FC-31 Eagle launched the first flight, becoming the second stealth fighter after China after-20.In the Zhuhai Air Show in 2014, the FC-31 appeared publicly and also performed.At that time, the FC-31 was a stealth verification machine for Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (Shen Fei) after the defeat of the Air Force Heavy Fighter project with Chengdu Aircraft.

In 2016, the FC-31 was once again on the flight show on the Zhuhai Air Show. At that time, it was equipped with a domestic turbofan-13 engine, and it was no longer a long-term Russian-made RD-33 aviation engine.Since then, the FC-31 disappeared in the public view, and was first flew again by the name of the F-35 by the outside world in October 2021.At this time, 9 years have passed since the FC-31's first flight. Shen Fei has developed three versions of FC-31 fighters, and finally created the new-generation carrier-based aircraft of the F-35 Chinese Navy.

From FC-31 to J-35, the change of names is not difficult to see the goal of this fighter.In recent years, Lockheed Middot; Martin's various types of F-35 fighters produced in the United States and Japan, South Korea and Air Force, and fully surpass the J-15 of Chinese aircraft carrier equipment.The Chinese Navy urgently needs a five-generation fighter that can compete with F-35, and this heavy task falls on the J-35.The Chinese side named the new generation of carrier-based aircraft, which contains the meaning of annihilation -35 literally.

Of course, the J-35 alone cannot defeat the F-35 by the mouth gun. It must have the strength to compete with the F-35 in comprehensive performance in order to be versatile.

The Drive website reported on July 22 that the latest photos of the J-35 allowed the outside world to get the opportunity to better understand this advanced fighter.Its spraying scheme is similar to the PLA Navy F-15 carrier-based fighter, which further confirms that it may join the Navy.A particularly noticeable detail in the new photo is the engine, with obvious jagged exhaust nozzles and rear fuselage rectification.Even if this is not the first exposure of the new turbofan -21 engine, it should be one of its few exposure.

It is reported that the Chinese stealth fighter in the latest photo looks very smooth, basically eliminating exposed panels, large fasteners, gaps, creases, antennas and other elements that may be unfavorable to its radar signal;It is clear that these designs of Chinese stealth fighter aircraft in reality are exactly in reality, but the Chinese aviation industry has continued to develop in related fields over the years, including the development and production of the F-20 series stealth fighter, which has undoubtedly accumulated very important experience.

Chinese military fans have high hopes for the J-35.The well-known military public account Hanhai Wolf Mountain Fa Wen said that from FC-31 to J-35, its upgrade range can be called a new fighter, and its comprehensive strength should also be greatly improved.

The article says that the opening method of the J-35 cockpit is the same as the opening method of the F-35 cockpit.Oil

This pursuit of large inner oil is naturally for a carrier -based aircraft to expand the radius of the combat radius of the sea -based ejection take -off.It is expected that the electromagnetic ejection take-off intercept radius of the J-35 is at least 1,350 kilometers, which is at least 200 kilometers higher than the F-35C's combat radius.It is a comprehensive advantage of crushing.

At the same time, the J-35 has a relatively large-area side-controlling array radar shield on the side, which is not much smaller than the main radar shield on the front of the machine.In this way, the J-35 may have the strongest omnidirectional ability of global carrier-based aircraft and the strength of air electronics.The sawtooth volume at the rear of the J-35 dual engine is greater and sharp than the engine nozzle of the J-20. Therefore, the engine of the J-35 should use the legendary WS-19, or eventually the single version of the set versionTaigari 14 tons, a huge thrust of double -hair 28 tons.After the official service, the J-35 has an absolute advantage when facing the F35 carrier-based aircraft of the single engine.

There are also military bloggers that the J-35 can not only ejection on the new aircraft carrier Fujian ship in the future, but also use strong dual engines to take off on the Liaoning ship and Shandong ship deck.

However, the United States 1945 website posted that China's J -35 was not afraid, because it was just the poorly copied plagiarism of the F35.The article believes that China has always liked to plagiarize the technology of other countries in advanced weapons manufacturing. The transportation-20 transport aircraft is the technology of plagiarizing the Russian Il-76 transport aircraft.

China will hold the Zhuhai Air Show again this fall. The J-35 may be officially unveiled at the air show. At that time, the outside world is expected to learn more about more J-35.
