两份条约, 一目了然。 一、中苏友好同盟协议：(1949) 签字人：毛泽东, 斯大林 1.中华人民共和国无条件承认外蒙古独立，取消国民政府关于外蒙的不平等条约。并愿意根据联合国民族居住权原则，把南京政府用武力霸占的外蒙领土还给外蒙。 2.中华人民共和国承认海参威(包括海参威所辖之郊区)是苏联固有领土；中华人民共和国承认江东六十四屯为苏联领土。中华人民共和国承认图门江出海口是苏联主权；"新疆北郊"是苏联领土； 3.中华人民共和国停止1945年以来南京政府所有索土要求。承认清朝政府1850年以来所有领土条约。 4.乌苏里江江域靠苏方三分之二属于苏联主权，靠中方三分之一属于中国主权。 5.苏联政府欢迎中华人民共和国关于领土的声明。 6.双方同盟一致反对台湾国民党，及美国为首的帝国主义。 7.承认清政府关于大连的协议，承认苏联在大连旅顺的特权。 8.中华人民共和国欢迎苏联在新疆、东北、内蒙驻军，兄弟互助关系。 二、1945年中华民国和苏联加盟条约 签字人：王世杰(外长), 斯大林 1.苏联承认中国对外蒙古的宗主国地位；苏联必须在1950年前撤走在外蒙古境内的所有驻军。苏联同意中国政府对蒙古的驻军，但其驻军不能用来反对苏联。苏联强烈要求25年以内中国政府同意外蒙古举行公民表决，由联合国监督表决的公平性。 2.中华民国政府声明对外蒙古有不可质辩的主权，中国政府1950年10月10日恢复对外蒙古驻军，用于保护领土完整，不用于反对苏联，在同一时间实行蒙古高度自治。中华民国政府同意 100年以内让外蒙古人民举行公民表决，由联合国监督表决的公平性。公民表决的先决条件是1911年被苏联用武力驱逐出去的原外蒙各族居民迁回原地，参与投票。中国政府认为，公民表决是决定自治，不是决定独立。 3.双方同意就蒙古问题继续进行谈判。双方同意就东蒙问题继续进行谈判。 4.苏联同意无条件撤走苏联驻东三省所有武装力量。同意中国政府恢复原苏殖民地大连主权；苏联承认中国对海参威的主权，苏联同意在50内以内撤走苏联驻海参威所有武装力量。 5.中国政府将在1995恢复对海参威的主权，并开放海参威为自由港，对苏联免税。 6.双方同意就海参威问题继续进行谈判。 7.苏联承认江东六十四屯为中国领土。苏联承认图门江出海口是中国主权。 8.中国声明图门江出海口是中国主权，为了中苏友好图门江对苏联开放。 9.中国政府将保留继续废除不平等条约的权力。 10.苏联拒绝中国对科叶群岛的主权要求，但原意同中国政府就所有领土纠纷进行谈判。 11.中苏两国一致同意江面主权中苏各二分之一。 12.本条约需要中国国民代表大会同意，苏联人民代表大会同意，中苏最高领导人签字才能生效。 《人民日报》社论:只有国民党反动派才痛恨蒙古独立 1950.02.24 作者：胡华 大家知道，蒙古曾侵入中华建立过蒙元。明太祖即位后蒙元灭亡，满清兴起后，又被满清占领统治。蒙古人民长期在本族统治阶级和异族统治的奴役压迫下，过着极其贫穷痛苦的生活。 到一九一一年中国辛亥革命，推翻满清后，蒙古是不是解放了呢？没有的，相反的它更成了帝国主义侵略争夺的对像。当辛亥革命十月中国武昌起义时，蒙古的统治阶级――王公、便利用这个机会，以“独立”的名义，投入帝俄的怀抱。 一九一七年俄国十月革命胜利，日本帝国主义却利用了白俄反动将军谢米诺夫，窃据蒙古，和苏联红军作战，到一九一一年才被苏联红军击溃。谢米诺夫失败之后，日本帝国主义又利用了中国北洋军阀安福系将军徐树铮侵入蒙古，在那里建立了亲日的军事独裁。安福系在中国北方失势之后，日寇复扶植谢米诺夫的一个助手――温根男爵，盘踞蒙古。蒙古人民受这样长期的侵略掠夺，什么时候才起来革命获得解放的呢？ 为了反对帝国主义的劫掠，为了解放蒙古，蒙古贫苦破产的牧人和广大的下层职员、喇嘛、便在却伊巴桑等蒙古革命者领导下，在一九二○年组织了一个秘密的革命团体，发动游击战争。 侵略者统治着虽然用各种野蛮的屠杀，死刑和迫害来对待蒙古革命者，但蒙古的革命团体和革命游击队却日益壮大，到一九二一年的三月便举行了一个游击队和恰克图附近的盟族的代表大会，选出临时的革命政府，会上并以大多数决议，请求苏联的帮助。 在三月十七日到十八日夜间，蒙古革命游击队便攻占了恰克图，不久，又先后击溃了中国北洋军阀侵略军万余人，日寇扶植的白俄温根男爵反动骑兵一万一千人，在战争过程中，苏联红军曾出兵援助蒙古革命游击队，使革命取得了胜利。 在一九二四年（民国十三年），蒙古已宣告了独立，建立了蒙古人民共和国。当时，中国的国共合作的广东革命政府，对蒙古的独立是承认的，因为孙中山先生在“国民党第一次全国代表大会宣言”中，已承认了“民族自决”的原则。“那末，正式承认蒙古独立问题为何一直拖到一九四五年呢？承认经过如何呢？”由于在一九二七年叛卖革命的中国国民党反动政府，一直坚持大汉族主义，所以不肯承认蒙古独立。而蒙古从革命以来，在苏联的友谊帮助下，内部已建设的很强盛；对牵制打击日寇保卫远东和平，有也很大的贡献，如一九三五年和三六年，蒙古革命军曾两次击退了日寇在蒙古国境内东部的挑衅行为；一九三九年在诺门坎，苏军蒙军并肩作战，给进犯的日寇以严重的打击。在中国八年抗战中，苏联远东军和蒙古革命军对百多万日本精锐关东军的牵制，对中国抗战是极大的帮助。而在一九四五年的八月十日，蒙古人民共和国有对日宣战，配合苏军，联合东北抗日联军，出兵夹击日寇，在世界反法西斯战争中间，建立了卓著功勋。因此，世界各国，尤其是中国，应该正式承认蒙古的独立，这是义不容辞的。 所以，在一九四五年八月十日订“中苏友好同盟条约”的同时，双方又交换了“关于蒙古人民共和国之独立的问题”的文书。在文书中，中国国民党政府声明：“……由于外蒙古人民屡次所表示出的对于独立的热望，中国政府声明：在日本失败以后，若是外蒙古人民的投票公决证实此种热望时，那么，中国政府将承认具有其现时境界的外蒙古之独立。……” “投票公决”的结果如何呢？一九四五年十月二十日举行的蒙古人民投票的结果，有百分之九十七?八的人，投票赞成独立，连国民党政府派去监票的内政部次长雷法章，也对投票手续表示满意（见塔斯社一九四五年十月二十二日库仑电）。 蒙古的独立，就是在民族自决的原则下，一个新国家的诞生，给世界的和平民主阵营增加了一份力量。承认蒙古独立，对每个真正爱国的中国人来说，是天经地义的事，只得欢呼的事。只有国民党反动派才痛恨蒙古独立，他们在当时被迫承认了蒙古独立，事后又大肆造谣，侮蔑人民的蒙古，侮蔑苏联与伟大的世界领袖斯大林，说：“蒙古独立是中国领土的丧失”。反动派这样说原也不足为怪，可怪的是，我们人民中有的人居然也有宗主国的情绪，似乎蒙古也非得划在中国“版图”上不可以似的，这实在是中了大汉族主义的毒。 [注：胡华为我国著名中共党史专家，曾任中国人民大学中共党史教研室主任，中共党史系名誉系主任。]

2024-11-27 National University of Defense Technology announced a new type of stealth coating that can convert radar waves into heat, which means that all anti-stealth radars in service are ineffective! In the field of air defense operations, the battle between spear and shield has never stopped. Especially with the emergence of fifth-generation stealth fighters represented by F-35 and J-20, anti-stealth operations have become the focus of military scientific research, and cracking anti-stealth radars has become a cutting-edge topic. Recently, the People's Liberation Army disclosed a material that can make anti-stealth radars ineffective. Laboratory tests have proved that this material can effectively absorb low-frequency electromagnetic waves from different angles, but the thickness is only equivalent to two sheets of photocopy paper. After converting radar waves into heat, the powerful anti-stealth radar will be completely invalidated. The People's Liberation Army has successively launched a variety of anti-stealth radars. According to relevant introductions from the PLA official media, these radars can detect stealth fighters such as the US F-22 and F-35 from a considerable distance. At present, the United States is also increasing the research and development and deployment of anti-stealth radars, but has encountered a series of technical bottlenecks and has fallen far behind China.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

The critical Mach number of an airfoil (which can be calculated using the isentropic flow formula) is the angle at which the shockwave generated by the nose or other parts of the airframe interacts with the wing. The 49.5 wing sweep of the outer leading edge indicates the speed at which the shockwave generated by the leading edge at the inboard of the wing is generated and propagates across the leading edge. This happens at Mach 1.55. The second is the shockwave generated by the nose, the angle here is roughly 57 degrees, and the nose generated shockwave will his the wingtip at Mach 1.85. The final one is the inner leading edge that comes off the nose. This is 67-68 degrees and indicates a critical Mach number of 2.66. Now, it should be noted that this does not indicate top speed. The F-22 has a 42 degree wing sweep and yet definitely flies faster than Mach 2.3 (where the leading edge generated shockwaves propagates along the leading edge. It’s estimated by some that it will be able to reach Mach 2.7 or 2.8, similar to the MiG-31, and will be largely temperature limited.

[@christophmahler]

"The F-22 has a 42 degree wing sweep and yet definitely flies faster than Mach 2.3 (...)" It does not. It lacks all characteristics of the MiG-31, material strength, fuel capacity and engine thrust at high altitude. The F-22A was optimized for super-cruising between Mach 0.8 and 1.6 with a capability of brief afterburner use up to Mach 2.2. The YF-23 - that wasn't built beyond two prototype demonstrators - is said to have been slightly faster for being slightly less maneuverable. Both designs were limited by the available engine in the late 1980s, early 1990s - without an Adaptive Cycle Engine which development is now stalling for a decade, the designs can't reach maximum flight characteristics. Americans and NAFOs need to get their head out of their derriere. Start with building 155mm shells in numbers that resemble the reality of warfare...

[@HeidiKernstad]

F-22’s maximum speed is Mach 2.2. Can it reach speeds above that for short durations? Possibly, but not without consequences to the airframe and coating. USAF command would never allow the pilot to do it.

[@dandrydog]

Doesn’t this also depend on air density? Couldn’t it climb to much higher altitudes? Thought it had three engines too…is one a SCRAM? If not…why not?

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

@ TYPO. I mean to say 1.3, which is the critical Mach number (or closer to 1.33) for 42 degrees. The maximum Mach number of the F-22 is officially 2.25.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

@ nope, as far as we know it uses 3 turbofans, and the DSI fed centerline engine is actually optimized for lower speeds.

Another thing is... In the video, The JX-36 is painted in Aviation Grey, but J-20S are the one who is painted in Prototype Yellow... So this might be a video that J-20S is the one who does the test flight, and the JX-36 is the escorting chaser plane...

It's primer yellow, not prototype yellow. Being yellow just mean the plane is fresh off the production line yet to be painted with the customer's livery, it doesn't mean it is a prototype. It's easy to spot which is the plane being first flown --- it's the one that doesn't retract its landing gears (customary procedure of first flight).

[@christophmahler]

@@aphidian It's still odd to use a pre-production plane, announced two months before for safely escorting a prototype... If the tandem-seater J-20S is designed for Collaborative Combat Aircraft deployment, one can wonder if there is a connection with this test flight - considering that manned flight may be optional. It would make the J-XX the largest UCAV, today but would correspond with it's strike bomber low observability and very large payload...

[@jamessanders8895]

Point of interest: Radar has no bandwidth in the sense that you used, it has frequency spectrum. Bandwidth generally refers to data, like what you would get from the internet or down/uploading. If you are referring to RF bandwidth, you are referring to the upper and lower frequency bounds of either the pulse (which is usually very narrow, often expressed using a differential of the upper and lower) or the overall block the radar operates in.

Indeed. A more conventional 4 engine layout would make more sense if 2 engines lack the power, which isn't the case, as J-20's 2 WS-15 engines are already more capable than B1's 4 engines. Also, with modifications, DSI can be efficient at up to mach 2.8. China already perfected DSI. On a plane where stealth is so important, the only reason to sacrifice DSI is to trading for speed - not just a little higher than mach 2.8, but far higher, otherwise it wouldn't be worth the drawbacks.

[@gags730]

Look at the role they play. Any 'fighter' jet in the last couple of decades are used more as a 'bomber' than a fighter jet. The general role they are used in is for air to ground targets. This is a large 'fighter' aircraft that will most likely follow the bomber first, fighter second, as they have other aircraft better suited as an actual fighter. As technology advances, we also see more emphasis on radar too. I don't really see this as a fighter jet but a fast, low observable small to medium-sized bomber with advanced radar systems to also eliminate the need for planes such as AEWs (AWACS)

The problem is drag goes extremely high as you approach the speed of sound. But if you can break through Mach 1 then the drag drops down but is still higher than subsonic drag. If you have enough thrust in full military throttle (no afterburners) then you can maintain super cruise which is something like mach 1.3 with only a minor range penalty. To hit Mach 2 you will need afterburners. At Mach 2 the skin heats up and could make the J-36 bright in IR sensors. 3 engines is probably designed to achieve super cruise. If the middle engine were high bypass, then the intent would be to cut the other 2 engines and fly subsonic on the highly efficient engine for great range but slow air speed until they were needed, then go supersonic. (That approach avoids the problems with a variable bypass engine). My guess is when in a threat environment, the J36 will maintain super cruise at high altitude and go AB when appropriate. A surprise launch of missiles at high speed and high altitude greatly improves their missile envelope and range. Stealth and high speed makes it reasonable the J36 can achieve the element of surprise when surface or air targets are within range.

[@christophmahler]

All quite plausible. I suspect the airframe to be another interdictor, possibly unmanned, but at high speed (high geometric 'stealth', but no RADAR absorbent coating) and long range - hence the thir engine is indeed more related to flight regime than power output. There is no point in just building an NGAD, outside from an established doctrine of tanker interdiction.

The middle engine is ramjet. Intake can be on top, because at hypersonic speeds, there's no such thing as dogfighting, where top intake can starve engine of oxygen. A more conventional 4 engine layout is more stable and easier to manage, if 2 engines lack the power, which isn't the case, as 2 of J-20's WS-15 engines are already more capable than B1's 4 engines. Also, with modifications, DSI can be efficient at up to mach 2.8. China already perfected DSI. On a plane where stealth is so important, the only reason to sacrifice DSI is to trade for speed - not just a little higher than mach 2.8, but far higher, otherwise it wouldn't be worth the drawbacks.

[@Bruhngus420]

your solution to what you personally think would classify a 6th gen with new propulsion technology is a bit arbitrary. as many point out, that goes against your own argument, is that the general classification of jets and their respective generation class is mainly due to the technology at their respective time of designation. yes, you could say "i personally think new advanced engines would classify a hey as 6th gen" but that same argument could've been said in the 60's, 70's, with "i dont think these jets are 4th gen unless thay have better structural stability" like, yes, that's understandable, but like many things, that in itself wouldn't necessarily help a jet hop over a generation.

China will have combined cycle engines for it's 6th generation lighters when it's adopted. This is a hybrid of turbine/turbojet/fan along with rocket and ram/scram jet. This can power aircraft like spacecraft and missiles and drones up to mach 6 but for bigger fighter jet about Mach 4 , and enable access to space or near space. I think China should work more on it's rtcc engine adding more airflow in the turbine part and making it like adaptive jet engine , work on scram jet as part of the CCE. China should look at inspiration from astromechanica electric adaptive jet engine. This is super advanced and combines turbojet turbofan and ramjet.

People seems to over estimate power requirements on aircraft.

In passive receive mode the power used is relatively small compared to transmit power.

It's the other way around. This fighter will likely have quite a large battery (another area China excels in) to support extremely high energy use for short periods, which then can be charged back up during windows of passive scanning. This is all well trodden territory, and has been spoken about for a long time with for example the Megawatt Tactical Aircraft program, which was envisaged for the NGAD.

What is likely to make it to 6th gen fighters: Twin side-oriented GaN radars instead of one front facing AESA in the nose (although it's not really front facing in reality, it can be rotated), overlapping their scan angle to the front and fixing the issue of not being able to have an effective scan coverage on the sides autonomously despite the passive sensors allowing data fusion and data links which can't always be relied upon 100% of the time. GaN radars are said to have less energy consumption, more performance, less vulnerable to jamming, smaller form factor, so overall it does everything better simply put which could perhaps allow the installation of two instead of one radar, but it's going to cost a lot if that's the case and replacing or maintaining two radars for one aircraft is a technical challenge. So these possibly two "AESA" radars are probably not traditional AESA radars but GaN in fact. Traditional AESAs occupy too much volume inside the chassis. All with a complement of other antennas in the wings and/or fuselage, tail. Top mounted intake to reduce the radar cross section and allow more spacious weapon bays below, possibly to carry stand-off weapons in the future and an absurd amount of small diameter bombs and more BVRAAMs. Variable Cycle Engines (confirmed for the european NGF along thrust vectoring at this stage). "Older" generation features along present day ones: cloud combat servers, UCAVs, more jammers, towed decoys... Likely to reuse delta and diamond wing designs because those offer better supersonic performance, and better stalling when compensated with various leading-edge extensions and electronics. Maybe a flying wing of some sort such as this prototype, maybe an hybrid of the two.

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

The tri-engine layout very likely points to China's continued struggles with engine development and construction. They cannot build engines versatile enough for both high-mach and low speed efficiency, so they basically have to drag around a third very heavy engine to give the aircraft the performance range necessary to satisfy mission goals. It's very unlikely this is a 'true' 6-gen aircraft considering China's known technology and construction limitations. More likely a 5-plus in terms of overall capability. Still a huge achievement for them and should be taken seriously, but knowing what we know about how China 'fakes it till they make it', predictions about capabilities should be kept in perspective.

Though my grasp of aerodynamics boils down to mere formal logic in textbooks, instead of running the numbers, myself one can look at the wings more closely in order to grasp whether they are optimized for trans-sonic or supersonic speeds as one can't have it both ways. "A supersonic airfoil shape is designed to operate at Mach numbers greater than unity. Unlike subsonic airfoils, supersonic airfoils produce strong shock waves. These shock waves create significant pressure changes, affecting the airflow and aerodynamic performance of the airfoil. The well-rounded, cambered airfoil sections that are well-suited to subsonic flight speed are generally inappropriate for high-speed and supersonic flight. Supersonic airfoils are distinctive in their geometric shapes in that they are *thin* (i.e., have a low thickness-to-chord ratio) with *sharp leading edges* . Supersonic airfoils generally have thinner sections constructed of angled planes called double-wedge airfoils or opposed circular arcs called biconvex airfoils (...)" Aerodynamic traits that happen to coincide with the 'diamond shape' of a low RADAR signature. While merely being an informed gamble, from the PLAAF mission requirement of striking US tanker planes and refueling drones across the Pacific, I bet the J-XX/'J-36' is an interdictor, designed not just for low observability like a strike bomber, but for super-sonic dashes to the point of interception akin during the early Cold War against nuclear bombers - in that case, the 'dorky' third engine would not increase electrical power output, but thrust while maintaining small engine diameters, required for the sharp airframe edges of supersonic flight. We all wait for specialists like Augusto Adelghi (Millenium7) to give his '200 cents' on this question.

We had rumors a few days ago that another 6th gen fighter in Xi'an was not ready to fly yet but could have been in the reveal birthday of Mao, personnally i think because we know it exist since at least 2022, it's the one the u.s general were concerned about when they said earlier in the (last) year that the u.s should get rid of the ngad/fx-x to build "light fighter instead" the u.s fight outside their country with battlegroups of carrier, if the NGAD were to encounter such a swarm of man/unmmaned fighters that would make the task really complicated even for it and they'd have to manage a defensive position which would be far from ideal, so there would be no choice but to have exactly the same weapons than the chineses to counter them the best they could.

If they're showing this to the public, they would most likely have already perfected the plane further...

If B21 is a Gen6 "fighter", B2 is a more capable Gen5 "fighter"

[@austinjagusch6065]

There bombers not fighters

[@philliplee1193]

The J 36 outline and blade configuration is reminiscent of a very efficient , two blade archery broad head . In archery , the forward of center weight bias is important ; I wonder if the canopy bulge above could be utilized in symmetry below , to house weighty components , with a retracted stubby nose wheel . Obviously the weight bias is heavily rearward , as is .

The thing that should really frighten the Yanks, is that if China is showing a 6th Gen prototype, means that the 7th Gen is already being designed.

[@drzhanga]

It is said that China showed these new tech in such a short period of time, was intended to prevent the Yanks from taking reckless risks and starts WW3 without knowing what they're up against.

[@peanut0brain]

This new 6th Gen fighter goes Mach 7 and up to 100km into space with the ram jet engine. F22 and F35 goes Mach 2.2 and up to 15km high. What can 7th Gen be like?!

Seems like you don't think the 3rd jet engine will be a ramjet or scramjet? So you are not expecting the Chengdu J-36 to super-cruise in near-space > 18 km altitude so it can dash out beyond the 1st island chain to intercept incoming threats?

All I'm saying is how long was it before the B-21 out before it was public? So I would assume the same with the B22, right?

B-21 is just a walmart watered down version of B-2. It's cheaper and inferior. If this is the direction US military is going, maybe it's a good thing to regress at a slower speed.

2024-11-27 National University of Defense Technology announced a new type of stealth coating that can convert radar waves into heat, which means that all anti-stealth radars in service are ineffective! In the field of air defense operations, the battle between spear and shield has never stopped. Especially with the emergence of fifth-generation stealth fighters represented by F-35 and J-20, anti-stealth operations have become the focus of military scientific research, and cracking anti-stealth radars has become a cutting-edge topic. Recently, the People's Liberation Army disclosed a material that can make anti-stealth radars ineffective. Laboratory tests have proved that this material can effectively absorb low-frequency electromagnetic waves from different angles, but the thickness is only equivalent to two sheets of photocopy paper. After converting radar waves into heat, the powerful anti-stealth radar will be completely invalidated. The People's Liberation Army has successively launched a variety of anti-stealth radars. According to relevant introductions from the PLA official media, these radars can detect stealth fighters such as the US F-22 and F-35 from a considerable distance. At present, the United States is also increasing the research and development and deployment of anti-stealth radars, but has encountered a series of technical bottlenecks and has fallen far behind China.

Its bigger than the j 20, Its huge, and they call it a fighter jet. It would have been less laughable if they call it a bomber. China has a scale issue with its new generation planes

[@timothychung4811]

Where is the rule for fighter size? Perhaps you should call Washington for a job as the NGAD went back to the drawing board and fundings stalled for the current program's direction.

[@junkerpain251]

@timothychung4811 its a big target, nothing more

[@adder88]

Expanding fighter jets may be a trend. It can carry more payloads and has a longer range, carrying more advanced electronic warfare kits.

[@junkerpain251]

@adder88 I'm sorry but u will never convince me that this huge thing is a fighter jet. Did you see its landing gear. It belongs to a bomber. It looks slow heavy and probably maneuver like a brick with wings. But its supposed to be 6th gen. It will probably get better in the future.

Times are changing. If at the beginning of the Japanese invasion 85 years ago China had a single modern military jet in the current inventory and a stockpile of the antiship missiles it carries, then Japan’s imperial Navy would have quickly been sunk, shipping in/out of Japan would have ceased, Koreans would have regained control of their country, and Japan’s military enforced Empire would have been dismantled.

In the Chinese mindset, war is not waged lightly. This is different from the western concept. China has been at war for thousands of years, so it knows the value of peace.
