Russia’s Air Pressure is getting wrecked within the Ukraine Struggle. China’s Air Pressure is principally copies of the identical Russian planes which can be getting wrecked within the Ukraine.
The US navy has little interest in telling everybody how pathetic the Russian and Chinese language Air Pressure is. Why? The US navy desires to justify getting extra planes and extra tools. The collapse of the Soviet Union and now the failure of the Russian navy within the Ukraine has uncovered the planes and pilots of potential American opponents as rubbish.
Russian and Chinese language navy engines solely function for 4000 hours or much less earlier than needing to get replaced whereas American fighter engines can final for 12000 hours of operation. This implies they’ve fewer engine hours to assist coaching pilots.
Russia’s Air Pressure
Su-57 10 [new stealth plane, but unused in Ukraine]
Mig-35 6 [new claimed gen 4.5, production 2018+,updated Mig-29]
Su-35 110
Su-34 149 [several shotdown in Ukraine]
Su-30 113 [several shotdown in Ukraine]
Su-27 101-359 [most built around 1990-2005]
Su-24 273 [production 1967-1993]
Mig-31 129 [1975-1994]
Mig-29 87-240 [1981-today]
The remaining engine lifetime of the Soviet period planes will all get used up in one other yr or two of the Ukraine warfare. Russia will get left with 200-300 planes. The Su-27, Su-24, Mig-29 and Mig-31 will all get expended engines and it’ll not be worthwhile to re-engine them.
The J-16 is a Chinese language fighter jet that’s seen as a duplicate of the Russian Su-30.
The J-16 is a fourth-generation, tandem-seat, twinjet, multirole strike fighter. It was developed from the Shenyang J-11, which was derived from the Sukhoi Su-27. The J-16 is operated by the Folks’s Liberation Military Air Pressure (PLAAF).
The J-16 has superior avionics, a protracted vary, and a big payload. It’s geared up with stronger floor and sea assault armaments.
The Su-34 is a Russian frontline bomber. It’s just like the F-15E and F-111.
Chinese language copies of Russian planes are likely to have higher electronics however engines which can be inferior to the Russian engines.
The Shenyang J-11 is a duplicate of the Russian Su-27.
The J-6, a clone of the supersonic MiG-19, which has a jet consumption within the nostril. Although China constructed hundreds of J-6s, all however a number of have been retired. Nonetheless, about 150 of a pointy-nosed ground-attack model, the Nanchang Q-5, stay in service, upgraded to make use of precision-guided munitions.
Roughly 33 p.c of the PLAAF and PLANAF’s fight plane are outdated second-generation fighters of restricted fight worth in opposition to peer opponents, save maybe in swarming assaults. One other 28 p.c embrace strategic bombers and extra succesful however dated third-generation designs. Lastly, 38 p.c are fourth-generation fighters that may theoretically maintain their very own in opposition to friends just like the F-15 and F-16.
The J-11 and J-16 are copies of Russian planes, which can be getting shotdown by floor to air missiles in Ukraine.
The J-10 is a duplicate of the Israeli Lavi from Israeli designs. The Lavi was based mostly on the design of the French Dassault Mirage. The J-10s haver had a number of lethal accidents presumably associated to difficulties within the fly-by-wire system.
The 350 J-20s are presupposed to be China’s large new stealth airplane. Nonetheless, they’re getting re-engined with new and unproven home WS-15. It normally takes a number of years for a brand new airplane and a airplane with a brand new engine to get working reliably. Will probably be years earlier than the J-20s get affordable usability. The USA has had decrease mission readiness charges of 60% with the planes (F-22 and F-35) that China tried to repeat with the J-20. China has not found out the way to make nice stealth fighter planes. China has not been producing profitable industrial planes and industrial engines.
It is usually planes and pilots and planes utilized in massive scale air operations. That is all unproven for China.
US pilots have precise fight expertise or are skilled by pilots with precise fight expertise.
