J-20 According to foreign reports, China's first J-20 has been put into full use in the front-line forces, which makes China the second largest in the world in terms of air superiority. Before that, only the United States had such treatment.
As early as 2011, the J-20's debut attracted the attention of the global military circle. In particular, after the J-20's official service, in other parts of Asia, the five generation aircraft of Japan, South Korea and India have been fruitless, the Russian Su-57 has also been stuck in the bottleneck, and the F-35 of the US military cannot be sold to the allies smoothly due to various reasons.
All of these make the J-20 particularly important, and the J-20's internal cabin is larger than that of the US F-22 and F-35, which means that the five generation aircraft of the US military should not carry a limited number of weapons to fight, or give up stealth advantage to carry additional or larger weapons under the wings. But this is an unacceptable choice for the US Air Force and Navy.
J-20 According to the data recently released by many parties, the mass production rate of J-20 is likely to reach 3 per month, which means that China will have 20 J-20 by the end of 2017, and this number may exceed 100 by 2020.
Since it has more advantages than the F-22 and F-35, why does China not produce more J-20? According to the analysis of some insiders, the production line of the J-20 fighter has not been fully opened at present. With China's current development in the aviation field, coupled with the pulse production line, if possible, it can also make the fifth generation of aircraft present a "dumpling" like scene.
In fact, from the perspective of future trends, the most advanced fighter of our air force will not only be J-20 for a period of time in the future. Especially in the context that the United States and Russia have recently announced that they have been developing the sixth generation fighter, China will certainly not stop here.
Su-57 Earlier, the US arms magnate Northrop Grumman showed off the model of the sixth generation fighter, which can prove that the US military has a specific plan for the project of developing the sixth generation fighter. On November 1, Viktor Bondalev, the former commander in chief of the Russian air force, revealed that the fifth generation fighter Su-57 is expected to be upgraded to the sixth generation fighter, integrating the most advanced modern aviation technology in Russia and even the world.
Therefore, the reason why China's J-20 has not been put into full production despite its official service may be that China is preparing for the sixth generation aircraft. The J-20 is probably just a transitional product in the process of developing advanced fighter aircraft, and such an example has a precedent in the history of our air force. So don't worry about the J-20 even if it doesn't appear in large numbers. Maybe our country is holding a big move. Let's wait and see. (Author's signature: Frontier Post)
