Recently, the CCTV National Defense Military Channel "Noon National Defense Military" program released a news about "J-10C, J-16 Free Air Combat Confrontation Exercise". The video tells the story of a certain brigade exercise of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force Aviation in the Northwest Desert. The J-10C twin-aircraft formation led by You Pengfei, the winner of the "Golden Helmet" and the deputy chief of staff of a certain aviation brigade, was unfavorable against the J-16 dual-aircraft formation at the beginning. After a week of experience summarization and tactical deduction, it succeeded in The story of "shooting down" the J-16 in the second confrontation with the alien.
For such a large number of confrontation pictures in the mirror, and even directly "calls" the tactical data on the HUD (head-up display) of the J-10C fighter, the confrontation details are not too much, and there are not many news reports in the People's Liberation Army Air Force. I haven't watched the video I saw many times, so I watched it more than 30 times.
It is believed that military fans in their thirties or so should have fresh memories of the "repellent storm" of arguing over which of the J-10A fighter jets and the J-11B fighters are more effective more than ten years ago.
From the comparison of the performance of the J-10C fighter and the J-16 fighter, we have said several times. These two types of aircraft belong to the category of three-generation and semi-fighter fighters:
Everyone knows that the J-10C fighter is based on the J-10B fighter with a new type of active phased array radar and airborne reactance equipment, which further improves the integration of avionics and focuses on improving the fighter’s performance. The beyond visual range interception and diversified mission capabilities were finalized after so many technical status changes were implemented.
The J-10B fighter is based on the J-10A fighter by redesigning the inlet structure, reconfiguring the fourth-generation avionics system, and replacing it with a more powerful AL-31FN-M1 turbofan engine. In the coming years, fighter maneuverability, air combat performance, and diversified mission capabilities have taken a "reborn" leap from the early J-10A, similar to the US military’s F-16C/D Block50-52 to F-16V Block70. Update. In this sense, whether it is a J-10B fighter or a J-10C fighter, it is undoubtedly a typical three-generation semi-fighter in terms of technology.
Let’s talk about the J-16. This type of aircraft is based on the basic improvement ideas of China’s aviation industry based on the design of the Su-27SK and Su-30MKK aircraft, and in accordance with the "934 Project" "write block letters first, then cursive script". , With reference to some of the characteristics of the J-11B/BS aircraft, it is almost a redesigned representative model of the "third-stage improvement" of the domestic Su-27 series aircraft.
Compared with the three models of the domestic J-11 series, the J-16 fighter has a newly designed body structure, newly equipped fourth-generation avionics, and a newly equipped FWS-10B high-thrust turbofan engine. The gap between the J-11B/BS fighter is a bit like the gap between the F-15EX and the F-15C. There is no doubt that the J-16 fighter is also a typical three-generation semi-fighter.
On the premise that the J-10C fighter jets and the J-16 fighter jets are both three and a half generations of fighters, and on the premise that the performance of the airborne aviation weapons equipped with the J-10C fighter jets and the J-16 fighter jets in theory is also identical, the two The confrontation between the two models mainly depends on the advantage range of the two:
Take the J-10C and J-16 fighter jets as an example. The advantage of the J-10C is that it has a very strong close combat capability and a strong nose-pointing capability. The melee instant disc ability is strong, and it is easier to grasp a favorable firing angle when implementing close-range attacks. Coupled with the new helmet-mounted display already equipped with the J-10C and the fourth-generation fighting bomb, the PL-10, the J--10 10C is easier to "lethal one blow" in close air combat;
The advantage of the J-16 fighter is its large ammunition load, high fuel coefficient, relatively good-looking data on thrust-to-weight ratio, strong close combat stability, and strong vertical climb rate. The large ammunition carrying capacity and high fuel coefficient of the fighter means that the J-16 fighter jets can better exert their advantages in the inter-test and occupying phases of over-the-horizon interception and occupy a more favorable over-the-horizon interception. Position, and even implement multiple rounds of mid-range missile launches to create a better melee combat situation. The strong close combat stabilization ability means that after the J-16 fighter can hold the "three axes" of the J-10C fighter in close combat, as the confrontation time lengthens, it will be easier to grab the J-10C fighter. More favorable shooting position.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the performance and confrontation modes of these two aircraft may be a bit like the confrontation between the F-15C and F-16C of the US military. Who can win the air battle in the end, just like the piloting the J- in the video. As you Pengfei, the pilot of the 10C fighter plane, said, "In the end, whoever can finally give full play to the performance advantages of his own aircraft will win the air combat victory." This is true.
Finally, from the Weibo video released by "CCTV Military", I believe everyone is most interested in the tactical data displayed on the head-up display (HUD) of the J-10C fighter, which can be called a glimpse in the video. Compared with the J-10A fighter, the J-10C fighter is equipped with a new type of diffractive head-up display, which has a wider field of view, better display effect, can display more tactical data, and has better performance expansion capabilities. Of course, due to confidentiality factors, a lot of data in the HUD screen of the J-10C has been mosaicked, but we can still get a glimpse of the tactical data display mode of the J-10C from the picture without "coded".
First of all, from the situation where the confrontation has just begun and the J-10C dual-plane formation has not been deployed, you can see that there are two small triangle symbols with a small line segment on the right side of the head-up display. Refer to the US F-22A fighter plane display. The display mode of this type of "triangle with small line segment" is generally used to refer to enemy aircraft that have been discovered by the local situational awareness system or calibrated through data link transmission. The “small line segment” and the triangle direction are generally used to indicate the movement of the enemy aircraft. Compared with the typical third-generation fighter aircraft, the display mode of displaying the movement status of the enemy aircraft by short lines on the multi-function display or HUD. The mode is quite intuitive, which is convenient for pilots to quickly grasp the air confrontation situation.
Judging from the screen of the J-10C fighter and the J-16 fighter in the melee combat, the Chinese Air Force uses at least the J-10C fighter aircraft to use a gun shooting aiming mode similar to the French Rafale fighter. :
The air gun shooting modes of major military powers’ tactical aircraft are generally divided into aiming point shooting mode and line-of-sight shooting mode. The two shooting modes are based on the movement state of the enemy aircraft through the fire control radar and the relative relationship between the enemy and the enemy. The relationship is calculated, combined with factors such as airspace wind direction and wind speed obtained by atmospheric data computers, and then considering the inherent performance characteristics of the air gun, such as the charge temperature and ballistic coefficient, the final formation of an air gun’s "targeting area", in theory, only Shoot at this area to hit the target.
The difference is that after the "Aim Point Shooting Mode" is solved by the fire control system, one or two moving aim points are displayed on the head-up display. The pilot needs to "set" the target into this aim point. It is more similar to the radar version of the optical sight of early fighters. The most typical representatives include the Su-27 aircraft and the F-15C aircraft. It is worth mentioning that this "point" does not exist when the fire control radar is not locked and the target-related shooting elements are calculated. For example, the Su-27 aircraft will only show a "funnel" on the HUD. Line”, while the F-15C simply showed a fixed optical sight. This aircraft gun aiming mode is relatively old and is the common aiming mode of most early third-generation fighters. The source of technology is actually the mature technology of the second-generation aircraft.
After the "line of sight shooting mode" is solved by the fire control system, a "hotline" for aerial gun shooting will be displayed on the head-up display, and the launched aerial cannon shells will generally fly along this "hotline". As long as the pilot can use this "hotline" to press on the target, and then press the firing trigger, the cannon shells can hit the target. Compared with a "point", a "line" undoubtedly greatly reduces the pilot's difficulty in aiming, and is able to catch a fleeting fighter plane and hit the opponent. Of course, this also puts forward higher requirements on the calculation ability of the fire control computer and the collection ability of the air data computer. Compared with the third-generation fighter, the current hot-line shooting mode is generally the later model of the third-generation fighter, especially It is the standard configuration of three and a half generation fighters.
For example, a very famous video of the French Rafale fighter defeating the F-22 in an air combat has been circulated on the Internet. In the video, the French Rafale fighter has locked the F-22A in close combat and selected the air gun, and the symbol is displayed. An "aircraft gun shooting hotline" is automatically displayed. As long as this "hotline" presses the F-22A, then theoretically it can be determined that the "Rafale" won the air battle. Of course, here in the Chinese Air Force, this round of air combat is the J-10C fighter winning the J-16 victory.
However, in any case, whether it is the J-10C or the J-16 wins, or the same sentence: They are all elites of the Chinese Air Force.
