Having eaten the scale weight and being iron-hearted, the Philippine C-208B reconnaissance aircraft entered the Huangyan Island and found several of our coast guard ships. The real shock came when the Su-30 heavy fighter jets rapidly and closely escorted them away.
The Su-30 fighter jet is only ranked behind the J-20 stealth fighter, J-35 stealth fighter, J-16 fighter, J-11B fighter, J-10B fighter, and Su-35 fighter in the Chinese Air Force sequence. It can be at most the 7th in rank.
However, in the South China Sea, the Su-30 fighter jet surpasses any type of Philippine Air Force aircraft. A single squadron of Su-30 fighter jets could destroy the entire Philippine Air Force aircraft.
The most advanced aircraft of the Philippine Air Force is the FA-50 light fighter produced by South Korea, which is actually a light fighter modified from an advanced trainer. Its radar, range, bomb load, and maneuverability are all very backward.
The fighter jets we produce are all for countering the advanced aircraft of the United States and its allies. In fact, they are not very suitable for expelling the Philippine propeller reconnaissance aircraft and small transport planes on the South China Sea islands. We should modify a batch of armed trainer aircraft to be stationed on the islands and carry out such escort missions.
