China claims new fighter jet can operate in 1,000 km radius


As it rapidly modernises its military, China today claimed that its new J-15 fighter jet which will operate from its recently-acquired aircraft carrier, can cover a radius of 1,000 kms in attack missions.

The J-15 fighter jet is able to cover an area with a radius of over 1,000 km on attack missions, Sun Cong, a chief designer of the plane told state-run Xinhua news agency.

The jet reaches similar technical standards of the third-generation carrier-borne fighters currently in service, Sun, also a member of the advisory legislative body National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, (CPPCC) said.

"The jet is close to the US F-18 Hornet fighter jet in terms of bomb load, combat radius and mobility," he said.
According to some reports, Russia was upset as the J-15 resembled its Su-33.

Sun said great progress has been made on the fire-control radar and guided missiles on the fighter but more has to be done to improve its electronic countermeasures.

Nicknamed the "Flying Shark," the J-15 fighter passed a test flight in August 2009.
Last November, it conducted a successful landing on China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning.

Not a shock, Sukhoi series is known for it's long range.

I wouldn't know either. I'm just paraphrasing what he said.

With the coming catapult system, the attack range of the J-15 will be increased again.

@ Shuttler Quit bringing India's crashes on to the topic and derailing the thread.

Good one. Thanks

Another good thing is that most of the J-15 now has been fit with the WS-10H engine, so it is also the reason why the attack range has been increased.

delete the post #8 after your posting and it was S and B who tried to derail. I am getting out of here!

@ Mod: Thanks for the deletion.

Found some interesting statistics on the J-15 vis-a-vis the SU-33. The Flying Shark appears to be in a different class than the Russian aircraft.

Foreign media especially Russian media guessed that the J-15 is a copy of Russian Su-33 carrier-borne fighter jet because its appearance is similar to Su-33. In this regard, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense of China Geng Yansheng said on Nov. 29, "The world military affairs have an objective law of development. Many weapons have the same design principle and some command and protection methods are also similar. Therefore, it at least is non-professional to conclude that China copied the aircraft carrier technology of other countries only by simply comparison.”

First, J-15 has an avionics more advanced than Su-33. Su-33 is equipped with old-fashioned ARINC429 discrete avionics system of one-way low-speed data bus, while J-15 adopts joint avionics system of bidirectional data bus.

TS-100, the Su-33's fire-control computer, has a computing speed of only 170,000 times per second, while the J-15's fire-control computer has an estimated computing speed of over several million times per second.

The J-15 owns a much more advanced radar system than the Su-33. Due to its backward avionics system, the Su-33 can only serve as interceptors, and is incapable of air-to-ground precision strike.

The J-15 adopts improved materials and production techniques, and thus has greater strength and lighter weight.

Finally, the J-15 is powered by home-made Taihang (WS-10) turbofan engine, which is more powerful than the Su-33's engine. Overall, the J-15 is superior to the Su-33, and is comparable to world-class carrier-based aircraft such as the United States' F-18 and France's Rafale.

Mr Geng was careful in divulging only the minimum information to the media and even that the parameters are impressive.

It should be..

Su 33 developed in 1995 and J15 in 2010-12.

 

[bigzgvr4]

so they gona get rid of j-11

Exactly, a difference of two decades, thus the J-15 incorporating much more advanced material and technologies.

 

[bigzgvr4]

if they are replacing their j-11 with j-15 then they sould sell/lease their j-11 to bangladesh,nepal,srilanka,indonesia,malaysia
