US military accuses Chinese J-11 of unsafe interception procedures

. .
Purpose is to have the "massive 4 engine airplane" bugger off. Chaff will damage engines if it's sucked in. If the RC doesn't want to move and keep taking in chaff, it'll be in for some extended maintance after the mission.
Wrong. When I was active duty, I have seen the engines of the F-111 and F-16 ingested objects larger and tougher than alum strips and the engines were fine. You do not know what you are talking about.

haha, is that why the last time China jet did this the P-8 immediately gtfo?

'When ingested, chaff can damage a jet engine’s blades and in extreme instances can even shut it down, said Peter Layton, a former Australian Air Force officer who is now a fellow at the Griffith Asia Institute.'

In theory, anything 'can' damage a jet engine.


International Civil Aviation Organisation regulations say that jet engines must be able to ingest a small bird without problems. But for large birds, the rules say only that the engine must not explode.​

There are two types of chaff, aluminum foil and aluminum-coated glass fibers. The foil type is no longer manufactured, although it remains in the inventory and is used primarily by B-52 bombers. Both types are cut into dipoles ranging in length from 0.3 to over 2.0 inches. They are made as small and light as possible so they will remain in the air long enough to confuse enemy radar. The aluminum foil dipoles are 0.45 mils (0.00045 inches) thick and 6 to 8 mils wide. The glass fiber dipoles are generally 1 mil (25.4 microns) in diameter, including the aluminum coating which is 0.12 f 0.06 mils thick. A new superfine glass fiber chaff is being manufactured that is 0.7 mil (17.8 microns) in diameter.​
Your China screwed up. Stop trying to salvage face. :lol:

lol, I can tell you that is definitely false, at least

My brother work for Boeing as an Engine Specialist for RR Trent Engine (the same one that was use on Boeing 747)

An engine passed safety test need to be able to ingest a bird with a certain size As this video show.


While it is true ANYTHING that got stuck into the engine can potential clause engine damage, An engine most likely would not stopped just because it injected a string of chaff strip.

you beat me to it by 3 seconds......

Maybe he was talking about the Chinese jet engine.

Obviously, @gambit know zero about basic interception during peacetime.

Obviously your Aussie Airforce officer disagrees. Everytime China plane throws chaff, your jet buggers out.
