"Is this the WS-15 turbofan engine???"
The two J-8 pilots watched as the J-20 roared past them.
The massive sonic boom caused the J-8's fuselage to shake violently.
The pilot made every effort to maintain the aircraft's balance.
"J-8 escort aircraft number one reports, maximum cruising speed has been mentioned!"
"Damn it, I can't even see the exhaust fumes anymore!!!"
"Another escort pilot exclaimed in amazement."
What is the current speed of the J-20?
According to the real-time data transmitted back from the J-20 cockpit, Dean Peng can see that...
Under the thrust of a heavy-duty engine like the WS-15,
The J-20's speed has reached 0.95 km/s.
That's equivalent to flying 1000 meters per second.
"Almost Mach 3??? Can the driver handle that?"
Even Commander Wang himself, who once piloted a J-8, only reached a speed of Mach 2.3.
It can be seen from the lens of the high-definition camera that
The pressurized cockpit and integrated cockpit design allow the pilot to easily survey the entire 360-degree area of the aircraft.
The exceptionally wide field of vision also minimizes the driver's sense of pressure.
During this hypersonic cruise,
The driver not only operated with great agility, but also showed no signs of physical abnormality!
"With this speed, even if we enter enemy waters and they try to intercept us,
That's quite difficult!
Commander Wang is so concerned about the maiden flight of the J-20.
It was all in order to get back at them in international waters off the Philippines.
Let's teach the Americans and General MacArthur a lesson.
Don't think that just because you have an aircraft carrier battle group for supply support, you can act with impunity.
"Commander Wang, are you referring to the surprise attack?"
"Of course, Principal Su, the purpose of developing our latest fighter jet is to target conventional targets."
To conduct long-range targeted strikes, especially against US aircraft carrier fleets.
That's our primary objective!
"Principal Su, you may not know, but since the last World Tank Championship..."
General MacArthur then parachuted directly into the Marg Seibao Air Base in the Philippines.
Using the USS Avery carrier fleet stationed there, they swaggered and flexed their muscles in the high seas.
They also detained a large number of our fishermen and prohibited other neighboring countries from entering the exercise area to conduct fishing operations.
If our J-20s can pose a threat to the enemy fleet,
Then the negotiating power will be in our hands.
If they dare to act, why can't we? Accidental clashes aren't something that happen often, right?
Commander Tang explained to Su Lin the current predicament faced by Commander Wang of the Southern Military Region.
"That's easy, how many ships does the enemy have?"
"Based on our previous reconnaissance by Su-27s, we have gathered quite a bit of data."
The confirmed information at present is that there is at least one aircraft carrier, the USS Avery.
It is equipped with one cruiser, three destroyers, one frigate, and two supply ships.
Of course, I estimate that the other side also has one or two strategic attack submarines nearby.
Conduct patrols!
"That's it? It's not even enough to take down two of our first-generation J-20s."
Calling J-20 pilots: Reduce cruising speed and open bomb bays!
"J-20 pilot, received!"
Under the pilot's control, the J-20 began to reduce its cruising speed and altitude.
The J-8 escort aircraft finally caught up.
The three planes once again formed a parallel formation.
"Not enough to fight? Principal Su, you must be joking. With our J-8's anti-ship capabilities..."
Let alone two aircraft, even sending two squadrons wouldn't pose much of a threat to the enemy fleet.
I've heard that the US aircraft carrier fleet is now equipped with the latest air defense systems.
"The firepower isn't enough either!"
"Whether it's enough or not, you'll know after you see it!"
The J-20 pilot manipulates the control sticks in the cockpit.
Flying from a sideways angle.
The bomb bay in the abdomen also opened rapidly during flight.
Four YJ-12 anti-ship missiles were exposed.
This was also specifically developed by Sulin for the J-20.
This missile has a maximum range of over 500 kilometers, making it capable of killing silently.
Combined with the J-20's own top cruising speed of Mach 2.8,
The missile can increase its speed to over Mach 4.3 during the terminal phase of its attack.
"This is... an anti-ship missile??? It's huge!"
No wonder the J-20 weighs so much more than the J-8.
Even the missiles they carried were heavy-duty types.
Currently, the J-8 is only equipped with the PL-12 medium-range interceptor missile.
Its anti-ship capability is almost zero.
In addition, the Su-27 is not equipped with dedicated anti-ship missiles.
The threat to the carrier group is also negligible.
"The YJ-12 anti-ship missile combines a solid rocket booster, a small turbofan engine, and a solid rocket engine!"
"Principal Su, is this a buy-one-get-one-free deal???"
Commander Tang was originally thinking that, according to Su Lin's design,
Upgrading the weapon systems of such an advanced fifth-generation fighter as the J-20 remains a major challenge.
Dragons pair with dragons, phoenixes with phoenixes, but it's impossible for a sleeping dragon to be paired with a young phoenix...
"Commander Tang, our Lanxiang Vocational College has always sold package deals."
In addition to four YJ-12 anti-ship missiles, the aircraft is also equipped with air-to-air missiles on both wings.
