Two Chinese J-16 aircraft successfully drove away the US and Philippines' 7 aircraft fleet, and foreign media are in hot discussion over its excellent performance.

Russian media attention: Two Chinese J-16s blocked the US-Filipino 7-aircraft fleet!

Russian netizens: Great!

On May 10, multiple Russian media outlets published articles.

According to the "China Times" on May 5, American and Philippine fighter jets conducted joint "Shoulder by Shoulder" military exercises.

According to media reports, seven aircraft crossed the boundary of the disputed area. Two F-16s, two FA-18s, two FA-50s, and a strategic B1B bomber.

Two Chinese J-16 fighters took off to intercept and began aerial confrontation.

Russian media cited Chinese media reports: Despite the numerical advantage, Chinese J-16 successfully carried out interception. They drove away the competitors, forcing the American and Philippine aircraft to adjust their routes and withdraw.

Russian media pointed out: The distance between Xisha (Sisha) and Juan Nian (Juannyan) is about 627 kilometers. As a result, Chinese fighters were able to control the airspace for a long time and effectively intercept under combat conditions.

Compared with the J-10C that recently shot down the French "Rafale" in Pakistan, the J-16 excels in having sufficient energy. The J-16 is a twin-engine heavy fighter with a high thrust-to-weight ratio, stronger acceleration and climb capabilities, making it suitable for energy warfare (exhausting opponents through continuous maneuvers).

The J-10C: A single-engine medium fighter with faster instantaneous nose pointing and higher agility, excelling in angle warfare (quickly occupying attack positions). It stands out in close-range dogfights, completing a 360-degree rotation in 19 seconds.
