How many fighter aircrafts can China produce in a year ?

[ZhengHe]

Let's say there was a real threat of war.

Currently China has less than 200 J-10s.

If China were to mass produce these jets how many could they roll out of the factories in say 1 year time?

 

[ZhengHe]

The only feasible threat I see would be the United States who is constantly patrolling China's coast and surrounding on all sides (Japan, S.Korea, India, Afghanistan, Iraq)

The US airforce have thousands of F-15's and F-16's and over a hundred F-22 and their navy over thousand of F/A-18's.

I think a greater concern would be how many fighter pilots could be cranked out in a year. Planes could be replaced, experience cannot.

na, planes costs more then pilots. i'm sure china can crank out as many pilots as it wants. flight school isn't that hard.

He said experience, not education, lol.

He said experience, not education, lol.

he said pilots, not students.

and what wars have china fought to gain that experience?

Please contact the Aviation Industry Corporation of China.

China can produce a lot of aircraft in a given calender year but dominating US and her allies at the world stage is not possible as it stands today.

I really wish some times that all the war mongers should be sent to the Gladiator style death match so they can settle there wars with their own lives at stake.

you don't need be in a actual war to learn how to fly a plane... there's something called "training"

you train for certain situations and events.

here's a simple example: high school students study/practice to take the exit exam at the end of the year. just because they have never taken the exam before doesn't mean they aren't prepared.

To add to your point with a slightly unpleasant corroboration, it is possible to learn the operation of a particular aircraft wholly, without a single flight-hour of actually taking such an aircraft up and landing it. A full-scope FAA compliant flight simulator (not the MS game, but a military simulator) can make a person capable of solo flight in transport aircraft.

It is much more difficult to teach flying of fast jets. However, that is also partially possible, and simulators don't have lives as short as their actual flying equivalents, so they can be used around the clock.

Having said that, military pilots have mentioned the clear distinction between training and actual flights, and what a lot of excitement can do to the carefully learned procedures and practices that have been drilled in. There is no substitute for actual combat, but, as you have already pointed out, pilots can be trained, and are trained.

There will be competition between China and the US, and China and the US would not have war. Because the two countries need each other economically.

Even if the war, it is a nuclear war all over the world. China and the U.S. will not let Europe and Russia and India in the next as the audience.
China will launch nuclear missiles to Russia and India, even if they did not attack China. Russia would do the same as China, it will destroy the world.

So China does not matter how many weapons can be made.

PS: Anything made in China soon, including aircraft.

Sometimes, explaining patiently and at great length, to whomever will listen, that India and Indians do not want war with Pakistan, or China, or any other neighbour, or any other nation on earth, seems singularly a waste of time when we read sentiments such as this. It leaves one quite devoid of any feeling. There's not much point as long as juvenile delinquents such as this harbour sentiments of the sort above.

At such times, I feel sorry for the sensible, well-balanced members from China, or of China.

The issue is how close to actual combat can a training program be.

China has no first use policy.



No First Use of Nuclear Weapons

Wonder where BigTreeCN is ,and his theory only Indians have no knowledge about the official statements

Well according to even saner Chinese members that policy is a political make over and can be changed when time comes.
