China takes on Operation Sindoor with propaganda on its work on sixth-generation fighter
Operation Sindoor initiated by India completely demolished the myth of superiority and even efficacy of Chinese missiles, air defence systems and so called fourth generation fighter jets.
Rattled beyond imagination, China is trying to bounce back by showing Photographs of sixth-generation fighter jets being manufactured in China.
“Experts” are now claiming that China is overtaking the Western countries in the development of new aircraft, and the South China Morning Post newspaper is propagating this. The Chengdu J-36 and Shenyang J-50, appeared on social media in China as the new 6th generation Paper Tiger Jets.
“The fact that China is now flying two sixth-generation combat aircraft means that they could potentially enter service before the end of this decade in small numbers – whilst the NGAD and GCAP project is likely to be a mid-2030s project,” said Malcolm Davis, a senior defense analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. He was referring to the US Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program and the European Global Combat Air Program (GCAP), which brings together the UK, Japan, and Italy.
Calm down Malcom ji, there is nothing to worry for you Islanders as long as India is there. An Australian expert had likewise praised Pakistan after the IAF strike on Balakot, saying except few trees Pakistan had not suffered any damage.
Peter Layton, a retired Australian air force officer and visiting fellow at Brisbane’s Griffith Asia Institute, said the latest image confirmed the J-36’s three weapons bays – one large and two smaller – and the dorsal intake for the third engine. “I think it confirms the growing view that the J-36 is a large, long-range strike aircraft,” said Layton, who is also an associate fellow at Britain’s Royal United Services Institute.
Veteran aerospace writer Bill Sweetman found the fighter’s design “quite impressive.” In his opinion, the J-36 is “one of the most interesting combat aircraft designs to emerge in decades.”
Speaking about the Shenyang J-50 fighter, expert Layton pointed to the J-50’s advanced stealth characteristics and modern avionics. All the experts interviewed agree that the J-50 has low radar visibility, which makes it a dangerous opponent in the air.
Well all such experts should ask China to fly their latest 5th generations fighters close to Indo Tibetan border both in Ladakh and Arunachal, like they do near China – Taiwan border. The world will then come to know who is who.
