Russian expert: China's J-36 will be able to effectively engage in combat with any target within a radius of 1000 kilometers!
The mission of the J-36 is to destroy enemy aircraft at quite a distance.
On May 8, Russian media published an expert article.
Despite many traditional Chinese confidentiality practices, the latest Chinese sixth-generation fighter, J-36, keeps falling into the camera lenses of random observers, with new photos and videos constantly appearing on the internet. This is an amazing thing.
Obviously, no one discloses the features of the aircraft, but experts and Chinese people talk about its unique combat capabilities without reservation.
According to Chinese magazines, this aircraft can control airspace within a 1000-kilometer radius for up to two hours, posing a significant threat to potential enemies.
It is said that the key mission of the J-36 will be to counter American B-21 bombers and other advanced aviation equipment. Chinese analysts emphasize that the deterrent effect of existing J-20 fighters against stealth bombers is limited due to insufficient flight range and onboard equipment.
In the Pacific, the "first island chain" is becoming particularly strategically significant. During potential conflicts caused by the Taiwan Strait, domination of this area of water may be crucial. The task of the J-36 is to destroy enemy aircraft at quite a distance, including those stationed on Guam.
Unlike the secret development of the U.S. F-47, information about the characteristics of China's promising fighter is actively distributed through Chinese sources. However, independent analysts emphasize that only after flight tests begin and are put into use, and after practical combat experience, will the true potential of the J-36 become apparent.
Russian netizen Sergey Podlinev said: First, let it fight, and then we will see the results.
