A while ago, the military show "the swords fight" was broadcastSlap 20Videos of aircraft flying training, with the topic of “super-evolution” of 20, suggest that 20 would lead to a major escalation and a change in the pattern of engagement of the five-generation aircraft, prompting outside debate。
After all, the 20 in the show is not a common one, but a double 20s that was featured on the nine or three parades last year. It's also a double-seat invisibility warplane。
So, what's the difference between a double 20 and an old one? What kind of change would a future upgrade of 20 years be
In contrast to the base version, the double version of 20s added a back seat and an additional crew member. This additional crew, in fact, carries out the duties of a weapons officer, as does the heavy four-generation machine of 16. In this pattern, the pilot in the front seat concentrates on flying the aircraft and is in charge of driving it. He encounters enemy aircraft. His main task is to conduct all kinds of manoeuvres with the tasting of 20 or, under special conditions, to launch 10 short-range air missiles and engage in close combat。
The pilot in the back seat, however, has more weapons to control, and the two long-range air missiles, thunder15 and thunder17, as well as the anti-ground missile medicine, such as thunderstone 6, are generally identified by the pilot before the previous pilot can launch。
Moreover, the backseat pilots also have to assume electronic warfare and reconnaissance responsibilities, using a multifunctional active phase control radar of 20, to detect and detect enemy targets in a timely manner, before applying electronic suppression or tracking locks to different targets。
In addition, the backseat pilots often need to be in charge of the commanding crews and formations. We're talking about a wingman who's going to attack the 11th and the 97thDroneI don't know。
Among these, the main task of attack 11 was to act as an out-of-the-twenty hand and increase the distance of the attack, without having intended to fire its own ammunition. Its operational radius is as high as 1,500 kilometres, and it also uses an invisible fuselage configuration that can be renewed for up to six hours. It has two cabins inside which it can carry two tons of missile-made medicine against enemy ground targets。
In the face of the high level of anti-aircraft fire from the enemy's ground, the 20-year-old backseat pilot would have been well placed to launch a number of attacks 11 and carry ammunition against the enemy. Even if the attack was shot down by enemy forces, there would be no casualties, and the damage could be controlled。
Fai-hung 97 is like a “reduced unmanageable” tad 20, which can fly at 1. 2 mah, has active phase control radars and photovoltaic targeting equipment, as it does, and can perform 20 capable reconnaissance and strike missions. It can be used as a bait when necessary to attract the attention of the enemy or to increase the range of electronic warfare, reconnaissance and fire strikes by 20 years. Its firepower is not too weak, and it can carry three thunderbolts at a time during air warfare, and it can fire eight flying thumping munitions with a range of 15 kilometres during a ground strike。
The drones, such as fei hung 97 and the attack 11, can command four to six at 20 strikes。
Moreover, when there was only one pilot in the past, the pilot was responsible not only for flying the aircraft, but also for a variety of chores and tactical manoeuvres on the aircraft. It was a bit too busy to do so, and it was difficult to achieve the full operational radius of 20 kilometres. Because it takes five or six hours after a full 2,000-kilometre flight, a pilot does not necessarily have enough energy。
With the latter pilot, the former pilot is tired and can rest and keep the latter pilot as a “copilot”. Moreover, the pilot in the back seat had no different driver than the previous seat, and it had a glass chamber with a helmet display on its head, which would allow the computer inside to handle flight information in a few milliseconds, make air warfare simpler and easier to handle。
Looking back at the development journey of 20, it is not hard to see that 20 is not static, but rather that it has been adapted to the needs of modern warfare and that it has been moving forward. This progress is reflected in the exchange of engines from russian al31, vortex 10 and vortex 15, and crews from single to double seats。
The double-hatting 20 has in fact changed the pattern of detached 20s specializing in single-plane combat, but has further upgraded it into an air battle centre, giving it more useable ground。
Moreover, as the number of counts of 20 continues to grow, the future scale effect of the double-seat 20 is significant。
In 2022, the united states air force “zone” network believed that the number of 20 could have exceeded 200. However, with the full domesticization of the engines, the production of the 20-point cut accelerated, and by 2025 the network believed that the 20-point cut might have exceeded 400. By the middle of 2026, that number could exceed 500 more。
Taking into account the addition of multiple 20-year production lines in recent years, it is widely believed that 20-year production may have reached 200 and that the final number of future service may be around 1,000. A large proportion of the subsequent production model would be a double-seat 20s。
In contrast, the united states'state-of-the-art heavy five-generation f22 produced 195 units, which ceased production in 2011, making it difficult to counterbalance the numbers with the chinese five。
Today, the united states main five-power f35 is a single-shot medium-weapons warplane, not to mention its payload, range and air power systems, which are less than 20 years old. Its production capacity is good, with an annual output of more than 150 and a supply chain of more than 200 without problems. Thirteen hundred have been delivered, and it is expected to reach 1,500 this year。
However, taking into account that the current capacity of 200 aircraft a year in flight 20 and another five-decree 35 in shen fei are already in service, the current annual output is no less than 60, and with the expansion of the plant it is expected to achieve 100 in the future. By that time, china’s five-generation machine would be 300 to 200, and china’s five-generation machine would certainly have a quantitative advantage。
Moreover, in terms of staff, two loyal united states aircraft, fq42 and fq44, did not deliver until june this year. This shows that the united states is one step behind china in its systematic combat of the five generations。
In the long run, it will be difficult for the united states to maintain air hegemony in the western pacific region, and its military deterrence against china will become increasingly weak over time。
