If Chinese systems and tech is untested why wouldnt they take a more prominent role in Ukraine, given the most probable trajectory over the Taiwan issue will result in conflict? in ukraine, Western forces have gotten decent insight into their effectiveness (or lack thereof) against a peer rival rather than just some mountain guys in flip flops in the mid-east.

The J-10 is not a F-16 equivalent, it was intended to be. But its weight and mission creep have bloated the airframe (which has happen to the F-16 only not as much as the J-10) into a sorta poor mans single engine Eurofighter or perhaps what the F-16XL was intended to be. Right now the J-10 is considered way to heavy and way big to be considered a 'light' or 'cheap' fighter like the F-16.

Jf17 block3 uses KLJ7A active phased array radar, and its ability to detect RCS5 targets is about 150-170KM. But its array is not large, so the TR components are not as many as the F16V Typhoon (with ECRS version) and J10C radars, but it has a better detection range than the Rafale F3. I don't know the specific data of the detection range of the Typhoon and J10C, but the detection range of the KLJ7A radar of the JF17Block3 is not as good as the 200KM+ of the APG83 of the F16 block70 to detect RCS 5 targets.

It's because the J20 like the F22 is primarely an air supremacy fighter. It has multirole capabilities just like the F22 but it's made almost exclusively for air to air engagements. The F35 is a true multirole. The Chinese chose not to make an ultra-expensive super high tech aircraft just to then send it to launch bombs at a tank column where it can get easily shot down. The reason why the Americans chose a true multirole as their primary 5th gen stealth fighter is because they were more confident in their capacity of producing them in very large numbers and also in their SEAD capabilities. If you ask me, that seems like arogant overconfidence and the work of a people who think that all of their enemies have inferior cheap cardboard weapons from Alibaba and the work of defence industry leaders who want to score extremely expensive contracts. Metaphorically speaming, the US DOD spends 1000$ on a military issue toothbrush

[@你看个锤子你看]

@@daniels0376 I think the 4.5 generation fighter jets have a higher cost-effectiveness in ground strikes. Because for the fifth generation fighter jets, take the F35 for example, if it maintains stealth, it means it can only have one bomb in the magazine, + two air-to-air missiles. If it is fully loaded with bombs, it means there are no air-to-air missiles. This will affect combat effectiveness. If it is equipped with external ammunition? Oh my god, then stealth will be sacrificed. It is better to continue using 4.5 generation fighter jets.

The J-20 is compared to the F-35 instead of the F-22 because the latter is an out-of production dead end. It's actually very likely at this point that by the time J-20 enters any form of real combat, most of the F-22 fleet will have been retired.

It's as if any country which dedicates more funds to infrastructure and social services over defence doesn't have the might of the US Army... At the same time, people seem to enjoy subsidised healthcare, education and public services from all those non-US countries. Maybe people should state their priorities before they decide to call a country a "paper tiger" just because that administration invests heavily in other sectors than the military. Even Americans are trapped in a bit of an awkward situation: lowest life expectancy of any advanced economy, trillions in student loan debt, increasing taxes, yet they can't stop cheering when they see a B2 bomber doing a flyby at sports events. Which way, modern man?! :D

"Even Americans are trapped in a bit of an awkward situation" Way more than awkward. USA is getting close to the point where it cannot service its debts. And this despite printing money faster than Weimar. Another TRILLION $ in debt every 3 months. "just because that administration invests heavily in other sectors than the military." See if you can find a source showing the Chinese expansion of infrastructure and housing in the last 30 years, it is simply amazing. Instead, all you hear is "China fail! builds ghost cities!". Yes, they're literally building both entire new citydistricts and their infrastructure without any people prepared to move there, that is INTENTIONAL. Because within 5 years of said construction, most of the housing is occupied and the "empty subway stations" are no longer remotely close to empty. They're doing things smartly, they plan and execute longterm instead of just reacting to whatever deficiencies provides the most profit at the moment. However, it needs to be said that after those 2 USA officers openly talked in 2022 about "once Russia is destroyed, China is next in 2025", China has started a MASSIVE militarisation. Extremely noticeable especially in the production of supertankers, where today, the production is down by 90%, because China diverted their entire production to military ships. Not that this really noticeable for the common people of China anyway. As China's economy is so large, that nowadays it CAN do a surge of military equipment without really slowing down its civillian development programs.

[@SomeGuy699]

The US spends more per capita in healthcare and with worse outcomes than any other OCDE country. You could literaly create a national healthcare system, increase life expectancy and all while spending less money. The only reasob you don't is not because of military spending. Its because the people are stupid and think anything related to the state providing services = communism. American don't understand there are mixed systems such as social democracy.

[@92HazelMocha]

It also helps that China doesn't have lobbyists that raise costs to ten times their actual value. A US MQ9 costs 30 million dollars, and the Chinese equivalent costs 2 million. Most of the US defense budget goes to Raytheon executives yachts.

If China had fostered good relations with their neighbours they could have been a serious contender for dethroning the USA. However, at this rate with the added complication of their policing of indigenous population they appear self limiting. At the moment they are not a world away from the middle east systems of high tech, low experience militaries. We worry when they figure this out and act on it or they run out of money and stop acting.

[@martinabowm1786]

Hi Gus. Tried to send answer as reply, but your system won't have it. So here I send it separately: This is relatively simple: they don't HAVE TO BE opponents. Chances are, they will. They are opponents today and are both working hard on annoying each other over Taiwan, the Chinese Sea and,and,and.... Russia is today already at a serious crossroads, looking at what is happening inside Russia and calculating that Russia probably will loose the war there is an economical desaster looming on the horizon, or even at the garden gate! This will also lead to reparation payments, directly, indirectly doesn't matter. Having to pay for that, having to repair the political and financial desaster they already are in AND having to rebuild their military complex is going to take decades. In addition, a huge percentage of young people have died in the Ukraine and a lot have fled to other countries. Both these things lead to a crippling BRAIN-DRAIN, and that in addition to what I have written here makes it near to impossible to rebuild their military complex in 20 Years. This also will have huge implications on every departement of the Russian governing body. If you take all these problems plus the rampant corruption in Russia, all bets are off! All of this shouts out for desperate money saving measures. There the recall of all "externally " fighting troops from various locations in the world will be essential. It is not the question if the US or Russia have more external wars or "Activity-Areas", it is only important to not have to spend money on external issues instead of using it at home. That's about it!

[@ollieisaninja]

The advancement of Chinese Air training an tactics is not entirely indigenous for what that matters. There have been many certified reports of former western military pilots being enticed to China to fill these training roles for the reward of considerably high pay, more than some of these former officers could earn at major airlines. They were reportedly from a fairly wide range of countries such as the US, UK, France, Germany, Sweden and Russia. There has also been some effort to expose, punish and limit these individuals, though its not certain how effective this has been.

[@Null-o7j]

I'd take the offer. Why not?

[@Sideritis]

There's nothing wrong with that. Napoleon once said that a nation that does not want to feed its army will feed someone else's. To prevent veterans from doing this, any country must apply the principle of carrots and sticks. Pay veterans high pensions (carrots) and introduce laws that would prohibit working abroad (sticks).

[@ollieisaninja]

@@Sideritis There both is and isnt a moral argument for this. Yes commercially this is or was possible until it was widely reported. However for a nation to invest in and train any person with that degree of skill only for them to share that knowledge with a potential adversary is rather, poor taste and short sighted. Especially when the other options do include pilot roles with a far higher than average salary to most. It becomes more a shallow act of holding nations hostage with the skill they would not have without their home nations investment. As John Cale said, 'Mercenaries, are useless, disunited, unfaithful. The have nothing more to keep them in a battle, other than a meagre wage'. However the main point is this situation can always work both ways. The role Covid played in the disruption of the commercial airline industry, its origin and result on demoralised pilots is also quite interesting to me.

[@foshizzlfizzl]

Actually, training is important but doesn't win wars. Sounds ridiculous but, the amount and dedication of an enemy, is worth much more than super training. I might cost more lifes, but still.. 🤷

[@PrometheusDrive]

Pretty interesting aspects. The secret is not in having the biggest air force but mobile launch sites. To beat any adversary and I mean any is to have no fixed positions. Radars, launchers everything mobile. Same with any tank or artilery units. Everything that's fixed and stays in the same spot for some time is an easy target.

[@jasonj3599]

Let's unify the standards. If the J20 is not considered a fifth-generation aircraft, then the F22 and F35 cannot be considered either. F22's disadvantages: backward sensors and avionics, no EOTS EODAS and other sensors that the J20 has. It doesn't even have IRST that the J16 has. 1. The only thing that is stronger than the J20 is super maneuverability. No matter how strong your maneuverability is, can it be stronger than missiles? 2. F35: The avionics sensors are very advanced, but the disadvantages are: no supersonic cruise capability, not even as fast as the fourth-generation aircraft. The maneuverability is also very ordinary. Some people say that the canard destroys stealth, but the F22's Garrett air intake also destroys stealth.

The F35 can maneuver with a 9G overload, this is a normal overload for modern fighters, which means it enters a circle of the same radius at the same speed as the f22 or rafale. So the f35 can be called the 5th generation.

[@jasonj3599]

@@愛を込めてロシアから Maximum speed is not equal to cruising speed...If you only look at the maximum speed, the J16 is no slower than the F22.

[@愛を込めてロシアから]

@@jasonj3599 Uh, I was talking about the fact that the f35 is the fifth generation, and not about the maximum speeds of the j16 and F22, right? Are you stupid? And the J16 is a two-seat Su 35, or Su30 without a front pair of wings, it is optimized for subsonic flight, and the f22 is for flight up to speeds up to 1.8 M. Are you sure that the J16 with a combat load will accelerate to a higher speed than the f22 at an altitude of 11 kilometers? I'm not sure at all. And don't even try to manipulate the facts from Wikipedia here.

Well chang. The differences between fighting guerilla armies and a technological army are endless. So far china has built a shiny military. All sparkly, with no real world testing. You've no idea how fast your well laid plans will turn to crap in the first hours of the war, and your lack of experience and top down command structure will lead to cascading failures against a military taught to adapt. Plus you don't really know what you'll be facing because the US, unlike the CCP, keeps the newest breakthroughs secret.
