Today, in the world, only a few big countries have the strength to design, develop and build fifth-generation stealth fighters, and the fifth-generation fighters of China, the United States and Russia show a huge gap in terms of flight speed.
United States fifth-generation fighters fly at Mach 2.25 per hour
United States' fifth-generation F22 Raptor is the world's first advanced fighter with strong stealth capabilities, and is a comprehensive fighter jointly designed and developed by Boeing and Lockmartin. Equipped with a single pilot's seat, the installation of two aero engines, the fuselage length is 18.9 meters, the height is 5.08 meters, the total weight of the aircraft is 38 tons, the fastest speed can reach 2812 kilometers per hour, the fire system of this fighter is also very prominent, set up an M61A2 Vulcan cannon, the diameter of the barrel is 20 mm, the firing capacity per minute is 4000 rounds, the dense attack ability should not be underestimated, in the air like a steel cannon rain as terrible.
At the same time, it can carry about 6 air-to-air missiles, the model is AIM120 medium-range air-to-air missile, or it can carry Sidewinder missiles. It can also carry weapons such as air-to-ground explosives, such as ammunition for direct attacks, spreaders for wind-deflecrating ammo, and 8 small aerial bombs.
All the weapons of the F22 Raptor are hidden in the inner compartment of the fighter, and the protrusions are not visible on the outside, in order to better stealth the fighter. When the Raptor fighter is on a combat mission, the door of the cabin will be opened electrically, and these munitions will be thrown and launched through the open hatch, so as to hide the track of the aircraft before the attack as much as possible, so as to achieve a better surprise effect. Because the fifth-generation fighters manufactured by United States are very outstanding in stealth capabilities and power systems, they are still the leading models of fifth-generation fighters so far.
Of course, this fighter cannot be upgraded because of the discontinuation of production, so the level of the United States fifth-generation fighter is realized by designing a new F35 series, and the speed of the United States fifth-generation fighter is about Mach 2.25.
Russia's fifth-generation fighters fly at a speed of Mach 2 per hour
Russia's fifth-generation fighter successfully developed the Su-57, with a fuselage length of 19.8 meters, a height of 4.74 meters, a total weight of 35 tons, the fastest speed of 2500 kilometers per hour, four weapon bomb bays installed, carrying a large number of combat weapons, and in the design and construction of this fighter, Russia's aviation science and technology highlighted two important bottlenecks, one is that Russia is not good at electronic systems, which can be built and tried on the Su-57. At the same time, it can also achieve stealth function on this fighter, which is the breakthrough of the first stealth fighter achieved by Russia's aircraft, and it is a comprehensive effort made by Russia to catch up with the level of fifth-generation fighters.
Russia developed this fighter for 17 years, and finally broke through the technical shackles of stealth fighters, designed as a single-seat twin-engine design, which can play an important role in public combat and attacks on ground targets.
As a heavy combat aircraft, the Su-57 has advanced avionics systems and stealth capabilities, but the speed of construction is not known why it is so slow, the annual production is only a few, such construction capabilities, seriously slowing down the deployment of the Russia Aerospace Forces, I don't know what considerations the Russia side has, why not speed up the production of this fighter.
According to some sources, this is because Russia has not yet completed the final upgrade of this fighter, such as the launch of a dual version of the Su-57 fighter, to achieve the purpose of more neighboring operations and coordinated operations, and to compete with the United States' F22.
China's fifth-generation fighter flies at a speed of Mach 2.4 per hour
China's fifth-generation fighter is the J-20 stealth fighter, which is the core fighter representative of the continental air force, and is also a new type of technology model developed by the military industry, with the power of the air pioneer, quickly destroying the enemy's air defense network, tearing open gaps so as to cooperate with other models such as J-16, to achieve greater intensity of operations.
The length of the fuselage of the J-20 is 20.3 meters, the height of the fuselage is 4.45 meters, and the maximum speed can reach Mach 2.4. In the air, the position can be quickly and accurately adjusted, and the dispatching ability and reinforcement ability are very prominent.
The endurance of the J-20 reaches 6,000 kilometers, and the nano stealth coating and fuselage skin are used to form a whole, so a better stealth effect is achieved. In the process of rapid attack, it is difficult for the enemy's radar to detect the traces of the J-20 in time, and it is even more difficult to achieve timely interception.
The J-20 itself has an advanced radar and fire control system, which can capture information more keenly in terms of identifying friend or foe, and the active phased array radar has the advantage of being a latecomer in technology, and it is very accurate in terms of detection.
The comprehensive data of the J-20 shows that the combat power of this fighter should not be underestimated, if the rumors of hanging auxiliary fuel tanks can be implemented, it shows that the endurance of the J-20 can continue to be upgraded if necessary, and the response ability of air combat in the future will also be further improved.
