The US military confirmed that the J-36 is a bomber! US military media: The scene of being slapped i

The simultaneous exposure of China's two sixth-generation aircraft has greatly shocked the outside world, because after the end of the Cold War, the United States has always been in an absolute leading position in the field of air force equipment technology. But now the situation of more than 30 years has been broken by China's military industry. Moreover, the psychological impact suffered by the US military and commentary circles has made it impossible for them to react and judge in a short period of time. What's funny is that in order to compete with the J-36 for the "first sixth-generation aircraft", US military experts have redefined the identity of their B-21, saying that the B-21, which first flew before the J-36, is the world's first sixth-generation fighter.

As the online public opinion storm gradually stabilized, the mood of the US military also gradually calmed down. They began to calmly evaluate the two "Chinese sixth-generation aircraft" of China's Chengfei J-36 and Shenfei J-XDS. In the end, the Pentagon's air force equipment experts confirmed that the larger "sixth-generation aircraft" developed by Chengfei is actually an unprecedented stealth bomber. They also believe that the J-36's large bomb load, supersonic speed and stealth design can enable it to undertake supersonic stealth penetration strike missions that the H-6K bomber cannot achieve.

In addition, the J-36 "stealth bomber" that made its maiden flight not long ago is a technical transition model for China's development of the large H-20 strategic bomber. In comparison, the relatively smaller J-XDS fighter developed by China's Shenyang Aircraft Corporation is closer to the technical pursuit of the United States' design of the sixth-generation aircraft (NGAD). However, this view of the US military was refuted by the US military media. An article on the US TWZ military website mocked, "We have seen a similar situation again. The US military claims that the larger of the two fighters (referring to the J-36) is a bomber."

An article on the TWZ military website stated, "Underestimating China is a common tactic of the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. military commentary community. We clearly remember the poor analysis of major U.S. platforms when China's J-20 fighter jet appeared. At the time, it was called a "fighter-bomber" rather than a penetrating air superiority fighter aimed at important air assets. As a result, this argument was quickly slapped in the face." What the author of the article wants to express is that the conclusions that U.S. military experts have now given to the technical model of the sixth-generation fighter J-36 will soon be slapped in the face again, just like the J-20.

Unlike the J-20 phenomenon, the J-20's target is the F-22, but now the US-China military industrial technology competition has reached the "Sputnik moment", and the US needs to catch up with the J-36. The US military media finally warned: "The US military is still hesitant about the NGAD manned fighter project, whether to invest huge amounts of money and R&D resources? China is rapidly advancing the construction of the entire new century air force system."
