A propos de cet article

Paperback. The J-20 fifth generation stealth fighter program has epitomised China's rise from a laggard in combat aviation into a world leader. J-20 Mighty Dragon: Asia's First Stealth Fighter in the Era of China's Military Rise details the J-20's technologies, capabilities, production timeline, design priorities, roles, evolution, and the choice of brigades and locations where it has been deployed, the ways other countries have responded to it, and how the last 30 years of China's industrial and technology sector modernisation positioned the country to produce what may well now be the world's top air superiority fighter. The J-20 program is the most high-profile indicator of a turning point in the balance of power between China and the United States, and has produced by far the most capable fighter that America or its allies could face in a potential conflict. An assessment of the history of Chinese air superiority capabilities, and how the Korean War in particular has influenced the country to place a very strong emphasis on the need to field a leading fighter for air-to-air combat, thus provides an important deeper understanding of the program. Important context to understanding the J-20's significance and its current global standing is provided by brief assessments of the positions of the Russian and American fighter industries. The parallel development of supporting assets from aerial tankers to electronic warfare planes is also explored for a better understanding of the much-transformed Chinese fleet which J-20s are being inducted into. The program is also shown to have had a particularly significant influence in the United States, ranging from placing discourse on the F-35's modernisation and on sixth generation fighter development in an entirely new context, to stimulating the formation of new counter-stealth aggressor training units, development of new air-to-air missiles, and acquisitions of E-7 'flying radar' aircraft among many other responses to the new challenge. J-20 Mighty Dragon: Asia's First Stealth Fighter in the Era of China's Military Rise is extensively illustrated with color photographs throughout and specially commissioned color artworks. AUTHOR: Abraham Abrams is an expert in East Asian military affairs and security. He holds a masters degree in War Studies from King's College London as well as a Masters in East Asian International Relations, and is currently pursuing a related PhD. Having followed the J-20 program's development closely since before its entry into service, the writer is a long-time analyst of China's defense sector and major weapons programs as well as broader trends in international security affecting China and its neighbors. His assessment of the fighter program thus places it in historical and geopolitical contexts to provide a fuller understanding of its significance. 98 colour photos, 1 colour illustration, 2 b/w photos, 27 colour profiles, 1 colour map The J-20 fifth generation stealth fighter program has epitomised China's rise from a laggard in combat aviation into a world leader. J-20 Mighty Dragon details the J-20's technologies, capabilities, production timeline, design priorities, roles & evolution.
