Recently, the Air Force chief of staff announced the "future distribution of Air Force fighters." Public opinion, from the distribution of this can be seen, the next to the United States Air Force F-22A, F-35A fighters for the Air Force stealth has been the mainstay of the full completion of its dominant position in the world will become more obvious.
Stealth fighter is how much power? How should we look at the development of stealth fighters from the United States moves? Xinhua military immediate connection military experts, "World Military" magazine Executive Editor Chen Hu, do an interpretation.
Experts quick assessment: U.S. stealth fighters, we can from the following four perspectives to explore.
First, we note that U.S. stealth fighter did a series, to be able to enter combat use, and in the next few years, the Air Force could become the main combat force.
Secondly, although Stealth fighter has been battle tested in combat and displayed a certain amount of power, but it might have been "deified" tendency. In future wars, the stealth fighters is how to play the role, but also to continue to practice test.
Third, the Stealth fighter and other issues, the U.S. military spokespersons fully utilize objectively played a leading global role in the development orientation of the weapons. On the Stealth fighter, did not rule out the United States in trying to fight its cause other countries to develop technology Benchmarking Air Force at the same time, initiated the development of the possibility of other combat platforms, such as unmanned fighter planes, air and space aircraft.
