F-35 Vs J-20: US Fighter Jets Vs Chinese Fighter Jets
F-35 Vs J-20: US’s F-35 and China’s J-20 came face to face for the first time in the world, which of the two planes is more powerful?
For the first time in the world, America’s Lockheed Martin F35 and China’s Chengdu J20 came face to face. The special thing is that both the aircraft are of the fifth generation.
Both the aircraft are equipped with stealth technology. Both countries land on their respective planes. China and the US claim that their planes are beyond the reach of any radar in the world.
According to the report of Military Watch magazine, the J-20 and F-35 had come very close.
However, General Kenneth Wilsbach said it was too early to say what the Chinese and US fighter jets intended at the time. He said that we have just seen and tested this competition as air superiority.
The Chinese fighter plane was getting information from AWACS, while our fighter plane was watching them with its own radar. Kenneth said that we can’t think of it as an outright encounter.
He said that the logic behind this is that during this time no fighter aircraft of any country threatened each other. However, both the fighter planes came very close to each other.
During this, General Kenneth told about the Chinese Air Force Fleet. Kenneth said that China’s J-500 AWACS plays an important role in enhancing long-range capability.
China’s long-range air-to-air missiles are controlled by the J-500 AWACS radar. He said the J-20’s longest-range missile is the PL-15. Its range is said to be 200 km to 500 km.
F-35 Vs J-20: Features of the American F-35.
Talking about the initial model of the F-35, it first flew on 15 December 2016. In July 2015, the US government formed its first squadron for US Marines.
After this, in August 2016, its first squadron was formed in the US Air Force and orders were given to deploy it. The US also included this aircraft in its Navy in February 2019.
Talking about its deployment in the Middle East, on 15 April 2019, the United States deployed this fighter aircraft for the first time at Al Dafra Airbase in the UAE.
During this time it was used for the first time to attack IS positions in northern Iraq.
The F-35A fighter aircraft is made by the American company Lockheed Martin. It is a single-seat and single-engine fighter aircraft. Its biggest feature is that this aircraft can fly in any weather.
This fifth-generation fighter aircraft can prove to be important in various roles in the war.
It has been designed in such a way that apart from ground attack, it can also be successful in getting rid of enemy sixes in the air.
Let us tell you that apart from Lockheed Martin, this aircraft is also made by some other companies including Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney, and BAE Systems.
The F-35A can perform conventional takeoff and landing. Apart from this, the F-35B can do vertical landing in addition to short takeoff.
At the same time, the F-35C fighter aircraft of this line has been specially designed according to the convenience of the aircraft carrier.
This aircraft uses catapults during take-off and landing on the aircraft carrier, which gives it tremendous speed in a few seconds.
The F-35 is actually designed like the X-35. It is also known as Panther in the US Air Force.
One of its major features is that it does not come under the enemy’s radar. This is because of its shape and its fiber mat.
Because of this, it disappears on the radar. Because of this technology, it absorbs the signals.
Apart from machine guns, this jet also has air-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles. This aircraft can fly at a speed of 1930 kmph.
The cost of one such jet is around Rs 31 crore. This aircraft is capable of carrying six 910 kg bombs which can destroy the enemy.
F-35 Vs J-20: Features of China’s J-20 aircraft.
China’s J-20 is a single-seater fighter jet. The aircraft has two engines. The main job of China’s J-20 is that of a stealth fighter.
China claims that its plane can deceive radar. Both J-20 aircraft do the work of attack and surveillance, but in terms of range, the range of Rafale is about 3,700 km.
While the range of J-20 is about 2700 km i.e. China’s aircraft is behind Rafale in going long distances.
Its biggest feature is that it can jam the radar of enemies. The aircraft is fitted with electronic surveillance, communication distortion, and radar jamming devices.
Apart from this, many modern air-to-air missiles have also been installed in it. It can fly a wide range of various modern equipment.
Small equipment under the wings of this fighter aircraft, while heavy equipment can be placed in the middle.
This warplane can create panic in the enemy with its electronic warfare in a real combat situation. Due to this the communication and surveillance systems of the enemy can stop working.
The electronic warfare jet used in it can wreak havoc on the battlefield with other fighter aircraft. The J-16D aircraft of the Chinese Air Force together with the J-20 will take a heavy toll on the enemy forces.
Will shut down the enemy’s early warning system and jam the radar, while the J-20 itself is equipped with stealth technology. In such a situation, he can attack the enemy accurately.
