Stealth fighters mainly fight against the air.

J-20 is the third stealth fighter in the world after F-22A and F-35A/B/C. At the 1 12 Zhuhai Air Show in 206543812, four J-20 fighters in active service of the Air Force gave the audience a wonderful flight show.

Among them, two J-20 s opened the built-in bomb bay in the belly and the side bomb bay at the root of the wing and fuselage, revealing four PL- 15 long-range air-to-air missiles and two PL- 10 short-range combat air-to-air missiles, which means that J-20 is an air-to-air fighter.

Although the J-20 has four huge fuel tanks, this photographic work was once popular on the Internet, from which military fans can judge that the external capacity of the four heavy pylons of the J-20 is 1.5-2 tons.

Therefore, in the context of gaining air superiority or sacrificing local stealth performance, the J-20 has the ability to plug in four air-to-ground (ship) missiles and carry out ground (ship) strikes.

American aircraft carriers cannot fight alone. When leaving port, an attack nuclear submarine must sweep the channel under clear water. Aegis surface ships such as Ticonderoga class cruisers and Alibek class destroyers provide effective escort. Aircraft carrier formation has strong air defense and anti-submarine capabilities, as well as the ability to attack the sea and land.

In addition, the US Navy has a powerful carrier-based wing composed of dozens of F/A- 18 carrier-based fighters, such as the E-2C Hawkeye fixed-wing early warning aircraft, on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a full displacement of 65,438+10,000 tons, and its operational radius can reach 600 kilometers around the aircraft carrier.

Both escort ships and aircraft carriers have long-range air defense early warning radars, which have certain detection capability for incoming stealth fighters, especially the E-2C Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft, which has strong detection capability for stealth fighters.

Therefore, the air-to-air J-20 carries four PL- 15 long-range air defense missiles and two PL- 10 short-range air-to-air combat missiles in wartime, and only has the ability to intercept and destroy non-stealth F/A- 18 carrier-based fighters.

At the same time, once the US military shipborne radar or E-2C Hawkeye Early Warning Aircraft detects the incoming J-20 stealth fighter, it can also guide the non-stealth F/A- 18 Super Hornet shipborne fighter to launch AIM- 120 long-range air-to-air missiles and intercept the J-20 stealth fighter.

F/A- 18 "Super Hornet" carrier-based fighter can also launch AIM-9X close-range combat missiles to intercept the J-20 stealth fighter, if the two sides contact within sight.

For the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the F/A- 18 Super Hornet carrier-based fighter provides a defense radius of 600 kilometers, and Aegis cruisers and destroyers escort. The launched "standard" series of air defense missiles also have the ability to intercept stealth fighters and non-stealth fighters within 200 kilometers, including the J-20.

After all, the J-20 is an air-to-air fighter. Therefore, when it carries PL- 15/ 10 air-to-air missiles, it does not have the ability to kill American nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and American aircraft carrier formations will not be afraid of J-20 attacks.

When the J-20 is externally equipped with four long-range anti-ship missiles, the radar reflection area will be greatly increased, the stealth capability will be sacrificed, and the flight path will be completely exposed to the E-2C Hawkeye Early Warning Aircraft or the shipborne Aegis system. Therefore, the US-Sea carrier formation can guide the F/A- 18 "Super Hornet" carrier-based fighter to intercept or use the J-20 stealth fighter.

To sum up, whether the J-20 stealth fighter attacks the air or the sea, it poses little threat to the US aircraft carrier formation and has enough ability to intercept the J-20 stealth fighter.

The combat capability of stealth fighters has actually been infinitely boosted by military fans. There are no stealth fighters in the world, but the stealth performance of stealth fighters is excellent.

When airborne early warning aircraft, shipborne or ground radar capture stealth fighters, the distance between stealth fighters and their targets should be very close, and the time window for intercepting stealth fighters will be greatly compressed.

Some targets attacked by stealth fighters have not even had time to respond effectively, and the missiles launched by stealth fighters have already reached their heads, but stealth fighters are not unstoppable and destroyed.
