The film "Tackling the Challenge" has achieved everything that we hadn't thought of or done before. The J-10CE made a name for itself, especially in dealing with non-stealth targets, demonstrating extraordinary capabilities. However, in the film, the pilot proudly claimed: "We shot down a stealth target." The full dialogue is as follows: "Without an air combat system, and without the systematization of air combat, I would not have been able to shoot down a stealth target."
Global air combat operations against stealth targets are extremely challenging, with difficulty in target acquisition and even greater difficulty in precise attacks. In the global context, attacking and shooting down stealth targets is the golden standard of air combat. In the film, the pilot clearly explained that the systematized air combat capability is rapidly improving, and the air combat effectiveness we have formed, including air combat strike capability, is moving towards the high end.
In previous conflicts, we have shot down foreign non-stealth aircraft on more than one occasion, achieving significant combat results. However, when facing high-end wars, stealth wars, and long-range stealth air battles, the requirements for such target strikes and effects are higher. Previously, the stealth aircraft had new heights in radar cross-section, flight speed, and flight quality. Engaging such targets in air combat is completely different from the dogfights and interception seen in movies. A new air combat concept and system must be used.
In various air combat operations conducted by foreign countries, the "iron triangle" of Chinese weapons systems has produced significant effects. Moreover, our self-use version, the air combat system formed by the People's Liberation Army, is far more rigorous and advanced than the air combat system displayed during arms sales. Through the pilot's account, it is clear that stealth targets are also defeated. The J-10CE, which is not stealthy, can rely on the system to shoot down stealth targets, and one can imagine how strong the combat capabilities of the J-20 and J-35 will be.
This non-stealth J-10CE has gained new achievements and actions due to its great response in the international market. I believe that at next year's Zhuhai Air Show, the J-10CE will receive better treatment, thereby demonstrating its rapid enhancement of importance in air combat.
