| The Hidden Capability of China's J-10C Claimed to Beat F-16 and Mirage 2000 |
International Military - You need to know if there are world-renowned media to explain the hidden capabilities of the J 10C China. Moreover, there is an explanation that the WS-10 engine of the J 10C fighter jet has extraordinary quality. “The WS-10 J 10C is one of the most powerful fourth-generation fighter engines in the world, and the current fighter is unrivaled in its thrust/weight ratio,” militarywatchmagazine.com wrote on September 8, 2021.
With this, the quality of the J 10C single engine is very high in its capabilities. It is suspected that the F-16 and Mirage 2000 class fighter jets are thought to be inferior to China's J 10C regarding the engine. Moreover, the country in Asia Pacific that currently operates the Mirage 2000 and F-16 is Taiwan, whose territory is within the J 10C combat radius. Therefore, if the J 10C becomes a fighter jet known for its great capabilities
Quoted from airforce-technology.com, the J 10C is a multifunctional fighter jet made in China that has multifunctional capabilities. The multifunctional ability of the J 10C itself is a matter of the quality of its attack power which is quite deadly.
It is explained that the J 10C is capable of carrying a new type of long-range air-to-air missile. And the new J 10C long-range air-to-air missile is the PL-15. That means the J 10C is capable of serving long-range air-to-air combat.
As for the ability to detect the J 10C is equipped with an AESA radar. This radar is claimed to be one of the best radars in a single engine fighter jet. In addition, the J 10C is an updated version of the B variant which has improved ECM technology.
It is explained that the ECM J 10C is capable of overcoming electronic warfare and attacking and disrupting enemy electronic systems. Therefore, if the role of the J 10C is superior to some of the previous versions. And what is unique about the J 10C is the year of assignment.
It is known that the year of assignment of the J 10C is April 2018. That means that until now the J 10C is still actively operating and is already 4 years old. In addition, the J 10C has an aircraft structure based on a tailless delta wing. With this design, the J 10C is one of the fighter jets that has canard wings.
Moreover, the size and design of the J 10C is very similar to Israel Aircraft Industries' Lavi fighter. And the technology in the J 10C is claimed to have similarities with derivatives of the USAF F-16 aircraft. In addition, the J 10C itself has 11 hardpoints that can be paired with several types of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons. And there are claims that air-to-surface missiles can be installed in the J 10C.
With several weapons this makes the J 10C reliable in several missions. Especially in patrol, reconnaissance and other missions, the J 10C can be run. Moreover, the J 10C has also been widely deployed in various Chinese national security missions. And a joint training mission deployed the J 10C.
Additionally, the J 10C can be equipped with an infrared target pointing pod and laser system. Therefore if the J 10C can support the deployment of satellite laser navigation guided weapons. As a result, the J 10C has a digital fly-by-wire flight control system.
And the HOTAS control is on the J 10C as its flagship. Where the pilots of the J 10C have every control for combat incorporated into two handles. Then the J 10C has a cockpit display including one that regulates the sights of helmet-mounted weapons. And the two monochrome J 10Cs make for a fairly advanced system avionics in its class.
From these advantages, it is not surprising that the J 10C is included in the 4.5 generation fighter jet. In addition, the J 10C has the same refueling system as the Rafale. It is known that the J 10C aerial refueling probe drogue refueling system.
With this system, it is easy to refuel between tanker aircraft and the J 10C. There is an explanation that the J 10C can carry a lot of fuel around. It is clear that the J 10C is capable of carrying as much as 4,950 liters of fuel internally. From that much fuel, the J 10C fighter jet's cruising range is very high. It is evident that the J 10C has a cruising range of up to 1,850 km. And the maximum speed of the J 10C is capable of reaching Mach 2.3. And the J 10C's high flying power can reach a height of 18 km.
From this capability, it is only class if the J 10C is truly qualified in air superiority missions. Not only air superiority, but ground and surface attack missions can be carried out by the J 10C.
