F-35 tops China’s threat list, beating older F-22: military study

Ranking could have implications for how China develops its own technologies and tactics in response, researchers said.

A comparison of US jets by Chinese military scientists has shown the F-35 to be a greater threat in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait than the older F-22, which is still generally regarded as the world’s most powerful stealth aircraft.​

​

The study, published in the Chinese language journal Modern Defence Technology, analysed the threat levels of various US military aircraft in different stages of a penetrating counter air operation at a range of distances from China’s coastline.​

​

The researchers found that while both the F-22 and F-35 fighter jets posed a “significant” threat to Chinese defences at all stages of the operation, the F-35A was likely to be a more versatile and capable aircraft in any potential conflict in China’s home waters.​

​

The team – led by Bao Junchen from the National University of Defence Technology in Hefei, Anhui province in eastern China, and the PLA’s Unit 31649 based in the southern province of Guangdong – recommended a two-prong approach to counter the threat.​

​

If the F-35 is a threat in Asia, it will be a threat everywhere else.

We know it is a badly failed platform.

F-35A is F-16 class. J-20 is F-15 class. Apples and oranges.

Ever heard of Aurora?

Ever heard of Aurora?

No, and if it's something from HAL or ISRO I'm not interested..

 

[VCheng]

No, and if it's something from HAL or ISRO I'm not interested..

Nope, not from them, and officially those technologies do not exist.

it just sounds too Indian to me.. the Americans would never name their shit 'aurora', too vanilla sounding and bit girly

And with that brilliant insight, you remain blissfully unaware. NMFP.

Oh yes the great threat for China...

Oh yes the great threat for China.

It is not a threat. It is a failed platform. Everyone on PDF knows that.

Are YOU the new Pierre Sprey? Your Pakistan has to import your defense, so who are you to laugh at US?

I would say to you to think about what happened in Iran, but it seems thinking is not your strong suit, so for your benefit...

How an F-22 Raptor once flew under an Iranian F-4 Phantom and told it 'to go home'

When the Iranian F-4s tried to intercept an American MQ-1 drone, they probably expected an easy target.

www.businessinsider.com

In 2013, two Iranian Air Force F-4 Phantoms moved to intercept an MQ-1 drone flying in international airspace near the Iranian border. The two IRIAF fighters were quickly shooed away by two F-22 Raptors who were flying in escort.​

​

Except, they didn't just get a warning message, they were Maverick-ed. That's what I'm calling it now.​

There is more to the story than how mainstream told us. Importantly, BACKGROUND story.

- The US MQ-1 UAV was flying in international airspace outside of Iranian border.

- Iranian ground defense radar picked up the UAV and vectored two Iranian F-4s to intercept. Ground Control Intercept (GCI) is common practice.

National Security and Interception Procedures

www.faa.gov

​

In conjunction with the FAA, Air Defense Sectors monitor air traffic and could order an intercept in the interest of national security or defense. Intercepts during peacetime operations are vastly different than those conducted under increased states of readiness. The interceptors may be fighters or rotary wing aircraft.​

​

- Both US UAV and Iranian F-4s were in international airspace. At this point, Iranian F-4s could have shot down the US UAV.

- US F-22s shadowed Iranian F-4s without the Iranians know the F-22s were there.

The last bullet point is critical. It means there were five bodies inside Iranian ground radar beams but only three were displayed.

One of the F-22 Raptor pilots flying escort for the drone flew up underneath the Iranian Phantoms. According to then-Air force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh, the Raptor pilot checked out the armaments the Iranian planes were carrying, then pulled up on their left wing and radioed them.​

The fact that the incident lasted long enough for the F-22s to check out the F-4s' armament indicated that all five bodies were inside the radar scans over multiple cycles. Remember, radar transmissions propagate at the speed of light. And yet, the F-22s were not displayed.

I have said many times that being low radar observable does not give pilots the license to be careless. But in this case, the F-22 pilots were confident that even if they fly in a steady state formation with the Iranian F-4s, they would not be displayed. How? Because we tested the jets and possible scenarios. F-117, F-22, F-35, and B-2 pilots know.

WTF do you think we did all those SIGINT flights off China's coast for? Sightseeing?

By now, China's war planners must have made educated guesses that the US must have created attack profiles based on SIGINT analyses. They know that we know what China's radar transmit. Hours and hours of recording of Chinese radar transmissions. So laugh away, the Chinese certainly are not.
