J-15 carrier fighter thread

Silly question, but kind of curious ,is the current increase is digitlization of china's militarty revolution in equipment and tactics related to the amout of effort they spend in hacting US goverment and commercial systekms

That's a loaded question, and perhaps if you want to focus your question to be more specific it will be easier to give a more specific answer.

In fact it might be better for you to first write about what you think the primary drivers of the Chinese military's modernization (which has been ongoing for decades, with different phases) might be first.

This is off topic of course, and tbh I'm not sure how the discussion in the J-15 thread even reached this topic of general technology rather than J-15, but whatever.

Why it has to be hacking you think they don't have brain?
That is very condescending view typical of western observer They cannot believe themselves that China technology has advanced far enough And for year they have been bad mouthing Chinese equipment as primitive subpar But when confronted with the fact their knee jerk reaction is ,Well it must be stealing. How could it be possible

Well my friend that is not the case Chinese electronic slowly is eclipsing Japanese or Korean And they have been the most prolific producer of solar cell, sellphone, electric machinery, railway telecommunication etc

So you need to brush up your knowledge about Chinese technology. Every year there are 30000 Chinese student in american university and probably half of them go to engineering 50-60% return back to China .They were encouraged to open their own shop and couple with generous subsidy and the quadrupling of Universality China , plenty of research facility are able to provide gainful employment for these talents.Just go to any graduate school in US and you see plenty of Asian there
Add to that the thousand of joint venture with foreign company the technology will spread

US is in no position to complain as NSA tries to hack all systems in all countries.
As for hacking to obtain illegally technical information a comment someone wrote on an article in New York Times several weeks ago said that when US became concerned about Japan capturing markets in the eighties and tried to limit the stream of such information to Japan that country had become more advanced in the relevant areas. And now concerning his own work looking at patents on electronics nearly all previous art mentioned is Chinese so again US is too late to be concerned about this information.

So, can somebody say can J-15 use guided air-ground weapons ( like laser/GPS guided bombs ) or anti-radiation missiles?

No. Because no one knows.

Your guess is as good as mine.

 

[abc123]

OK. Thanks.

LGBs need a targeting pod or a ground-based target designator, but GPS bombs just need a rack to hang from. Same thing for ARMs. All three need the appropriate software interface between weapon and pilot. This is the part that we don't know if the J15 has. Even if the J-15s don't have it, probably the J-15As will given their likely expanded roles as part of a CATOBAR air wing.

Right but wiring also and sometimes changes are needed complicated for that for software in generaly only a download easy or new fighters use others systems replacing wiring maybe ?

The wiring is already there; the J-15 has to at least be able to launch AAMs, after all. It's just a matter of these other weapons using the existing wiring.

Not necessarily.

The wiring depends on what types of information, how much information, the power requirements, etc., etc....and the software and data requirements and speed.

Some weapons require completely different wiring harnesses and bundles depending on their needs.

I am sure the PLAN put as much into it as they thought they might need so that they could do what you propose.

But did they think at the time to wire it for all of the various possibilities? Who knows?

One thing is certain...if they do need to add more, they will find a way to do so by either adding more, or taking out what is there if they have to and making what they put their more robust if necessary,
