On one hand, it says that it is particularly advanced, with various thrust vectoring engines and advanced wing technologies, which have very strong capabilities in controlling the aircraft body. Combined with the加持of intelligent unmanned network technologies, this carrier-based aircraft has become the core and focus of future sea-air strikes.
But on the other hand, it also says that this J-50 is a flying "paper tiger," just a model, and cannot be used for combat in the future. It can only be used like the United States did before, scaring people with models. The American mentality is too complicated, and I feel there are several reasons for this.
It shows a high level of fear towards Chinese manufacturing and innovation. In the past, every generation of aircraft, the U.S. released them first and led other countries by a wide margin in concepts. But now, China has reached a new height in innovative development, whether it is in aircraft body technology or the understanding of future air combat.
Especially now that our J-36 and J-50 sixth-generation fighters are in test flights, and with the加持of various advanced technologies, the innovative ideas of this weapon system compared to the U.S. have shown significant changes. Whether the understanding of future combat concepts and future air combat ideas are advanced plays an important role in technology. Because what you need in the future determines what you do, that's the rule. Especially the innovation of advanced weapon systems technology has given us new methods and approaches based on technological innovation. The U.S. seems to be half a step behind in understanding China's vision for future air combat.
Secondly, it shows extreme disdain towards Chinese innovation and development. This illness of America is quite serious; one moment they hype you up, the next they tear you down. This indicates that America is very dissatisfied with your possession of this core technology. Because in the past, America was always under the spotlight, releasing its own concepts, aircraft, forms, and future combat ideas.
But now, China takes the lead, and crucially, not a word is said; official media never talk about it. However, the analysis of China's two sixth-generation fighters by netizens and foreign media indeed troubles the U.S. America also has to make contradictory judgments. If they say it well, Americans are uncomfortable because that position used to belong to them. If they say it badly, it seems China isn't so bad. Moreover, if it were really so bad, the U.S. Department of Defense wouldn't study each frame of the flight footage of China's J-36 and J-50.
These two different aircraft have different technologies, backgrounds, and visions for future air combat. America seems to be making judgments through appearance and capability, trying to understand how China will use these two fighters and how they will form a combined force of sixth-generation fighters in the air and at sea to undermine American air superiority.
From this particularly contradictory explanation from the U.S., it is like ice and fire, giving Americans a sense of relief while making them feel more embarrassed.
