Chinese air force’s F-11B aircraft Data Figure: China J-11 fighter

Russian 罗斯苏霍伊 Design Bureau president Pogosyan publicly clarified that Russia has never raised the Chinese side on the “copy” of the question, “We firmly believe that China-made aircraft with its own technology components and China-made parts. ”

new machine has at least two reasons

Canada, “Chinese Defense Review” magazine recently published an article that looks like a two-seater Russian-made Su-27 type of F-11BS fighter/trainer aircraft, has entered the Chinese Air Force bulk. The journal further predicted, based on the F-11BS, China is expected to develop a “Chinese version of Su-30″ – F-11BSM multi-role fighter, to enhance their long-range strike capability.

“Chinese and” F-11BSM R & D program that may exist based on mainly two: First, China is still a lack of long-range air strike capability, the Su-30 from Russia, the insufficient number of imported and domestic JH – 7 “Flying Leopard” overall performance is poor, requiring a large payload and range far more multi-purpose fighter, the current J-11BS is the best transformation of the object.

Second, China has invested for the development of J-11BS is a lot of money, cost more than imports of the same high performance trainer is much more. The equipment according to the size of the Chinese Air Force now only need 50 of these trainers is enough, no country in the world will just not for such a small number of flower lovers heavily in new development. “Thus, the Chinese developed J-11BS is the real intention is to follow the year in Russia as a platform for the development of the Su-27 Su-30 approach, so that F-11BS transform ‘the Chinese Su-30′。”

the article, if China is indeed in the J-11BS is developed on the basis of the J-11BSM, it means the PLA’s long-range strike capability will be further upgraded to accelerate creating “offensive and defensive one,” the strategic air force. Prior to this, the Chinese Air Force H-6, Su-30 and JH -7 Although long-range strike capability, but has a less than satisfactory – H-6, a large range and payload, the body design can still 50 years ago the level of viability is too low; Su-30 performance good, but not compatible with China’s independently developed precision-guided weapons, and a limited number, can not be quickly added; JH -7 can be made to mount on the ground/sea weapons, the problem is the lack of air refueling capability, range slightly less than the dependence on strong fighter escort.

easy to see from the above analysis, the PLA Air Force in the growing pursuit of “offensive and defensive integration” of the moment, the existing force structure can not meet its requirements. F-11BSM once available, will allow long plagued the shortcomings of the Chinese Air Force force structure has been eradicated – the machine not only with Russian-made Su-30 with a considerable range and payload, and is completely self-development, can mount a variety of domestic weapons, not only the basic logistics and operations to eliminate the disadvantage of limited use, standoff precision strike capability has improved significantly.

Russia denied “copy”

Russia denied “copy”

in China has independently developed the F-11B and F-11BS period, “Chinese and” has repeatedly released the “China Intellectual Property suspected plagiarism Russian Su-27″ message, saying in Russian is difficult to avoid trade conflicts. That third-party observers were surprised that the club fighter Su -27/30 – Russia’s Sukhoi Design Bureau president Pogosyan publicly clarified that Russia has never raised the Chinese side on the “copy” of the question, “we firmly believe that China-made aircraft with its own technology components and domestic parts. ”

In fact, some Western media is not well-known that F -11B/BS military is the lack of technical content of imitation. British “Jane’s Defense Weekly,” pointed out that China’s F -11B/BS is completely thorough understanding of the Soviet Union -27/30 technical know-how, based on the integration of their product innovation, its as a “plagiarism” in the name of any errors too biased. Australia’s “Air Power” magazine that the Chinese developed J -11B/BS only appearance with the Su-27SK and Su-27UBK similar, but in the body material, data bus, infrared detection system, glass cockpit, electronic warfare equipment etc. have shown their own unique design. “In particular, F -11B/BS equipped with advanced on-board oxygen generation system, which is entirely in the Soviet Union -27/30 not … … Now, even the engines began to replace their Chinese-made.”

United States, “Aviation Week,” the review said that China’s J-11 series aircraft and the technology has distanced Su -27/30, move forward one step closer to Western standards. “If China wants to develop multi-purpose fighter, it is likely only appearance similar to Su-30, which is entirely China’s own manufacturing system, the overall performance and the U.S. equivalent of advanced F-15E model.” Currently, China has been able to develop advanced The air fighters, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, and precision strike weapons for different purposes, once the J-11BS is developed on the basis of multi-purpose fighter aircraft, bound to make China in the Taiwan Strait, East China Sea and South China Sea and other sensitive areas of deterrence and strategic strike capability significantly enhanced.
