Re: JH-7/JH-7A Thread

I think someone has been reading Deino's writings on the internet.

I found it rather amusing that they are still trying claim J-20 as anything under the sun except being a fighter.

If you read over at Key Aviation forum, the usual suspects that said the same are now claiming they never said such things.

Since this JH-XX seems to be filling the role of the F-111 (in terms of payload, at least), how long will it be until Carlos Kopp demands that the RAAF drops the F-35 and buys the JH-XX instead?

if it is real, the plane will probably use WS-10 or AL-31 engine...

...If you think about it this striker/bomber could give trouble for UCAVs and their carrier home bases being bragged about that could render the ASBM useless depending what the range is.

I've never understood how carrier based UCAVs are supposed to counter ASBM. That's the task for B-2 and SSGN.

I believe it was because the present range of the DF-21D is shorter than the range of UCAVs so carriers can stay safe. But who says an ASBM warhead is limited to a DF-21D?

How does a UCAV is supposedly shoot down a DF-21D coming down at the carrier at a high velocity speed? Is it suppose to act as a warning to the carrier battle groups so that it can change direction or actually confront the on coming ballistic missile?

...
their UCAV idea isn't to defend against the ASBM but rather avoid it completely.

ASBMs big hoorah is its sheer range (and speed I suppose). If a carrier can sit outside of the kill range and still send flights of aircraft to bomb targets on the other end, then ASBM is effectively countered because it won't remain relevant anymore.


Of course the problem with this approach is... what if an ASBM with longer range is developed, what if tankers refuelling the UCAVs to and from the carrier are shot down, what if the IADS of the opposing force can detect and interdict a number of your stealthy UCAVs etc. But for the time being, a long ranged carrier based UCAV is a logical response to ASBM (combined with a greater focus on ABM, and a change in doctrine of course).

Well they're talking about how UCAVs can hit the ASBMs on their launchers. That's if they can find them.
