China makes steam against the USA: Fighter jet J-35A now ready for use

Still in the slipstream or already at eye level? The USA puzzles what China’s armor is capable of. The Air Force has new machines, the Marine three carriers.

Beijing-“It must be clear to everyone that Beijing credibly prepares to use military violence in order to change the balance of power in the Indopazacifik,” said Pete Hegseth-the US defense minister Newsweek cited because the signs condense that China is now putting its two fifth jets of the fifth generation and the Shenyang J-35a in particular. An alarm signal for the United States because the machine is supposed to operate support support in this version.

“China’s J-35 fighter aircraft could become a horror from an aircraft carrier,” Brandon J. Weichert wrote last year. The author of the magazine The National Interest Had again emphasized that the J-35 was considered China’s answer to the American fighter aircraft F-35 Lightning II. She is China’s second fifth generation of the fifth generation of “Mighty Dragon”, which can be compared to the F-22A Raptor, Sichert. In contrast to the F-35, the J-35A lacks the ability to start the vertical, the vertical take-off and landing (Vtol), which is advantageous for operating aircraft carriers. For this she has smaller wings and another chassis, which makes it compatible for aircraft carriers.

China presents his performance: “Several J-35 star cap hunters in an advanced assembly phase”

Nevertheless, China seems to be a matter of wanting to perform air superiority in the Indopazacifik with the United States – how Army Recognition reported that the Chinese state broadcaster CCTV 13 Recently shown pictures from the production facility of the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, where “several J-35 star cap hunters could be seen in an advanced assembly phase”, according to the magazine, which is assumed on the basis of the images: “The aircraft visible in the video were characterized by identifiers like, 040070 ‘ Production hinges belong and the assertion underpins that production has progressed beyond the prototype status. ”

“The training is carried out under ‘actual combat conditions’, as the armed forces call it. This means the willingness to compete against ‘high -performance military competitors’.”

With this, China would have equated with the United States in the punch of the Air Force, so Army Recognition: “With the commissioning of the J-35 parallel to the J-20, China is the second nation after the United States, which uses two classes of the fifth generation of operational fighter planes.” The coexistence of the two machines may result in difficulties in logistics, especially with regard to engine technology; With the J-35A, China provides a stealth battle jet for the carrier use and with the J-20 for operations from land. Brandon Weichert refers to the capacities of the J-20 producing Chengdu Aerospace Corporation (CAC) “on almost three-digit values”, which could last for the coming years.

It is therefore described as “ambitious” to produce a second stealth fight jet in a series. The United States is now also having a hard time. The production of the F-35 is reduced in favor of the new F-47, the US marine’s demands for a new jet are completely trimmed. In parallel to the media reports on the expansion of the Chinese Air Force, attention also applies to the expansion of the Chinese carrier program – with three ships in use.

“China’s aircraft carrier begins to spread their wings”, Louis Bearn and Nick Childs said at the end of 2024.

China provokes with Seemanöver: A “clear picture of Beijing’s regional right to power”

In their analysis, the two analysts of the U.S. Think Tank International Institute for Strategic Studies (IIS) refer to a media appointment of the Chinese Navy at the end of 2024, for which the “two operating aircraft carriers, which Liaoning and die Shandongwith their accompanying groups into a double carrier maneuver at sea “. However, Bearn and Child’s doubts show whether China is able to” do the ability to carry out complex operations with several providers “beyond” a clear picture of Beijing’s regional right to power “.

In addition to the two ships, China offers with the Fujian A third carrier – the United States has eleven. Within a decade, China has blossomed into the second largest carrier power in the world. So that apparently not enough, as Kyle Mizokami made at the beginning of the year. The author of Popular Mechanics According to experts, experts assumed that China claims to have put up to seven aircraft carriers into service by 2049. In this respect, the parallel structure of support-suitable fighter jets such as the J-35A would make sense. Taiwan hits in the direction of a steadily growing danger of inevitably integrated by China. The J-35 (a) is an essential part of this strategy, and the fighter jets of the sixth generation are already under construction.

“The main task of an aircraft carrier is the demonstration of Luftmacht, and the heart of a carrier is its air squadron, especially the fighter aircraft on board,” writes Kyle Mizokami. The recording capacity of the Chinese carriers is unconfirmed, Mizokami quotes the Naval News-Autors Alex Luck, but according to him, 24 fighter jets had been spotted on their flight decks; American supporters such as those of the Nimitz class can “typically accommodate around 60 aircraft or more,” says Luck. Ultimately, the sponsors Liaoning and Shandong are “important milestones for China, which are useful for the training and structure of naval experience,” says opposite Popular Mechanics Matthew Funaiole vom US-Thinktank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

The announcement of the United States: J-35 should play a “decisive role” in national defense

According to a current report of the China Daily the F-35, as the new fifth generation, should play a “decisive role” in national defense. The largest English -language daily newspaper in the People’s Republic of China is released on Wang Yongqing, “that the radar -sensitive fighter plane as a backbone of the efforts of the Air Force of the People’s Liberation Army for the neutralization of high -ranking threats, especially enemy tapping aircraft, was designed”, as the responsible engineer of the Chinese Shenyang Aircraft Design and Research Institute explained.

Yongqing says China was driven by the fear of the fear that enemy planes would exceed the “conventional countermeasures in terms of location and reach” due to their technical superiority; So that the Chinese air defense against the US air weapon would not be able to afford resistance. “This means that you can recognize us from hundreds of kilometers away, but we cannot find them at the same time. This means that our defense units will not survive such an encounter,” as he expresses.

Foreplay for the fight for Taiwan: “Training is carried out under, actual fighting conditions'”

As a result, the J-35 was built to identify, pursue and intercept penetrating objects. However, according to Yongqing, it is more important to have a hub with a machine like the J-35 to coordinate and thus strengthen other components of air defense. Although US defense minister Pete Hegseth is not tired of emphasizing that China provokes both the American sea and air forces, and are evident in US military. Still!
