Paragraph 5 J-10, or non-J-10D, and more than 300 J-10A/B/s upgrade verification technology

Author:Military and military talk Time:2022.07.12

Today, there are many news about the fifth J-10 fighter jet. After the J-10A fighter, the J-10B fighter, the J-10C fighter and the J-10S fighter, many netizens will appear the fifth-to-10 J-10 The fighter is called the J-10D fighter. Of course, many people hold different views.

Some opinions believe that the new J-10 fighter jet is not much different from the original J-10C fighter. The overall change is too small. Instead of called the "J-10D" fighter. Judging from the export situation of the US F-16 fighter jet, this should be a "customized version of the J-10" fighter that specifically targeted at a foreign customer.

In addition to the above two views, a third point of view was subsequently appeared. This view is more interesting. It is believed that the newly emerged fighter-10 fighter jet is neither a custom-based version of the J-10 special version of the Foreign trade export. Technical verification machine.

From the photo point of view, this J-10 fighter is actually modified and upgraded based on a J-10B prototype. Although the overall combat effectiveness of the J-10B fighter is not as good as the J-10C fighter, its air maneuverability is not worse than the J-10C fighter. Therefore, the relevant units like to use the J-10B prototype to verify the relevant technologies. The most typical is the J-10B TVC technology verification machine of the equipment vector thrust engine at the Zhuhai Air Show.

J-10B TVC verification machine

Since the J-10B TVC can be a technical verification machine, why can't the new J-10 fighter jet this time cannot be another technical verification machine based on the J-10B prototype?

At present, the Chinese Air Force still has a huge number of early fourth-generation fighters, with a lot of models, but it can be divided into the J-11 series fighters and the J-10 series fighters. The former currently has more than 300 frames, mainly J-11A, J-11B, J-11BS, and J-11BSH. The Air Force will definitely not retire all of them at one breath. Now some of the J-11B and J-11BH fighters have been upgraded to the level of J-11BG and J-11BGH, so that they can meet the needs of operations under the new era.

Why do you do that?

At present, there are several J-7 aviation brigades on the Air Force. Although we have the ability to continue to "magic reform" against the J-7 series fighters, the J-7 series in the new era of martial arts is actually increasingly increasing It is sooner or later. Although the production capacity of the J-10C fighter is not low, all of them use the J-10C and J-16 to replace the original J-7, which is not realistic.

Since the more than 300 J-11 series fighters can improve the use of the Air Force by upgrading, what about more than 300 J-10A/B/S fighters? Just as the Chinese Air Force's continuous verification and modification of the J-11BG fighter aircraft before, if you want to upgrade and improve these more than 300 J-10A/B/S fighters, you must conduct meticulous verification of related technologies in order to make it big. Grand modernization improvement and upgrading.

The focus of more than 300 J-10 fighters is actually very good to guess. The body extension processing is definitely impossible to avoid. In addition to the body, new airborne fire control computers, stronger battlefield data chains and glass cockpit, active phase -control array radar, electronic warfare equipment, and domestic large thrust engines are also within the scope of upgrading considerations. These modules alone are dedicated to a technical verification machine for verification.

The shelf -shaped fuel tank and the body are not integrated

There are currently two different views on the newly appeared equipment on the back of the new J-10 fighter. The first view is another shelf -shaped fuel tank, but after enlarging the photo, we can find that its structure is combined with the entire vertical tail, and the possibility of fast disassembly is not available. The possibility.

The second view actually includes the first view of the first view, that is, it is considered to be "backbone aviation electronic equipment cockpit". Although the name is "electronic equipment cockpit", the "Back Aviation Electronic Equipment Crock" on the Israeli Air Force F-16I fighter also leaves a certain space for oil storage. It can also increase the internal oil load of the fighter's aircraft. ability.

"Back Aviation Electronic Equipment Crock" on the F-16I fighter aircraft

The original more than 300 J-10 series fighters are currently facing different problems. Let's talk about the J-10A fighter. At the time of birth, China ’s land air defense capabilities were relatively lacking, so the positioning of the J-10A was to intercept air defense. The air excellent combat capabilities were first, and the multi-purpose combat capabilities were in the secondary position. As the J-10C began to emphasize multi-purpose combat capabilities, the upgrade of the J-10A must also be in this direction.

Therefore, the improvement of the J-10A fighter aircraft should be the largest, because the "target machine" of the Air Force used to measure the improvement and upgrade of the J-10 series is J-10C, the gap between the J-10A and the J-10C is too large. Essence Correspondingly, its modification and upgrade will be the largest. The J-10S fighter originally undertaken a certain teaching task, so the overall modification and upgrading pressure was less, but it was not no. Because with the increase in the number of high-education aircraft in our army, the double-seat J-10S fighter also needs to start strengthening its own combat attributes. Of course, multi -purpose operations are also the direction of its modification and upgrading.

The modification and upgrading of the J-10B fighter is the least, and because it has fewer technical differences with the J-10C fighter, it can even use some designs that originally planned to use on the J-10C fighter, but did not use it. For example, the "Back Aviation Electronic Equipment Crocks" that appeared this time can be used in the upgrade and improvement of the J-10B fighter, and it is directly upgraded to a "licking machine" that is stronger than the J-10C.

Of course, the double-seat version of the J-10S fighter also has the opportunity to convert into a "licking machine". As for the J-10A fighter, you need to see the actual situation when you see it.
