Recently, due to the high-profile delivery of five Rafale fighters from France to India, and after the completion of the handover, many generals in India came forward to praise them, causing Rafale to once again become the focus of public opinion. The more classic one is that the J-20 is equipped with canards, so it is not a fifth-generation aircraft. Although the Rafale is a fourth-generation aircraft, its performance is sufficient to crush the fifth-generation aircraft, and can even be called a quasi-fifth-generation aircraft. There are many similar remarks, but from the outside, they are mostly "ignorant remarks." Just an objective analysis of these two fighters, there is no suspense in the confrontation results.



First of all, the former commander-in-chief of the Indian Air Force stated that "there is a duck wing that does not count as a fifth-generation aircraft." This is a very wrong understanding. First: the first appearance of the canard is indeed not on the fifth-generation fuselage, but according to the development direction of the J-20 and the existing technical means, the canard is the best choice. After all, engine technology lags behind in the West, and if you want to achieve high mobility, you can only start from the shape. Secondly, the so-called five-generation machine judgment standard, there is no canard, it is more focused on the overall performance. Such as stealth capability, supersonic cruise capability, advanced avionics system and so on. To sum up, the words of the Indian generals at the moment are indeed "ignorant speeches", and it is possible that they are only because of the needs of the Indian people.



To objectively analyze the real combat effectiveness of the Rafale fighter, first: the battlefield performance is very good. Rafale has been seen in the Iraq war and the Syrian civil war, so it is not as good as the first-line fighters such as F-22 and F-35, but as a fourth-generation fighter In terms of machine, the overall performance can be ranked in the forefront of the world. Its advantage lies in its comprehensiveness, its various capabilities are relatively balanced, and it can not only carry out aerial combat but also achieve carrier-based takeoff, and can even drop nuclear bombs, which can effectively strike air, ground, and sea. Although its comprehensiveness is very good, it is precisely because of this that it has no characteristics. The so-called balance, in turn, is "banal." If there is really a fighter that can do all-around, why are there differences between fighters and bombers?



If the Rafale and the J-20 are really to be compared, objectively speaking, the two sides will not achieve a head-on confrontation. As a fifth-generation aircraft, the J-20 has the ability to strike beyond visual range, this gust will never have a chance to approach. A fighter that has been passively beaten has the chance of winning infinitely close to zero. Secondly, it simulates the frontal confrontation between the two sides. The results show that the J-20 has a lot of time to get rid of the gust and can rely on tactical actions to strike at the blind spot under the same driving level. Stealth may be as mysterious as it is in the legend, but in actual combat, when flying at supersonic speeds, do pilots really rely on their eyes to lock on without relying on radar? India has not been exposed to the fifth-generation machine, so it does not understand its terrible aspects.

The Indian Air Force began to equip the strongest fighter next month, the number is too small to face the J-10C no chance of winning
