The American edition of National Interest tried to figure out, both belong to the Chinese fifth-generation fighter J-20 and how deep in the aircraft of Russian origin in Russia, whether Russian “DNA”.

National Interest попытался отыскать у J-20 русскую "ДНК"

Russian advanced Su-57 goes into production. Already planned contract 76 machines exceeds the number originally stated these planes - their anticipated release in the amount of 60 pcs. Noting this fact, American edition of National Interest stresses, that in connection with a detailed full-scale production of Russia is looking for possible markets, considering as potential customers, China, India and Turkey.

The publication notes, that the past few years, Chinese media, writing on military issues, We are paying particular attention to the development of the Su-57 program; their – mostly positive - comments also long been perceived as a sign of China's interest in Russian cars.

But, as noted by NI, question seldom asked in reverse order: that Russia thinks of the Chinese J-20 fighter of the fifth generation?

While Chinese commentators are mostly very loyal and are complementary with respect to the Su-57, Russians give a much cooler assessment of J-20.

Russia is skeptical about the J-20

Talking about problems, author of the article Mark article Episkopos recalls "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" on 5 April (while calling RG prominent publication, writing on military issues). It was given to assessment of potential benefits as the Russian side, and from China for the acquisition of the Su-57 is a potential transaction prominent Russian. "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" then concluded, that Su-57 and J-20 are both good in its, and each of the planes carrying out its operational objective.

If J-20 was designed as a fighter hardly noticeable break and suppression VOP, can destroy critical facilities and infrastructure, the Su-57 was built as a car air superiority. "Dry" sacrifice features and stealth attacks on ground targets in favor of super-maneuverability and the ability to act more effectively than the enemy in TN. "Dog dumps", ie passing maneuver battlefield situation. In this way, notes Episkopos, "RG" aptly highlights the thrust of Russian export of arguments: Air China must acquire Su-57 is not a substitute for J-20, and as a supplement to it.

maybe, the most common, if not controversial, Russian comments to the aspect of the J-20 is repeated assertion, the Chinese took inspiration from the Soviet project of the fifth generation "MiG fighter 1.44, which was presented in 2000 year ".

Russian J-20 DNA

According to National Interest in the DNA J-20 may present Russian component. As an example of this view in the National Interest event brings judgment Dmitry Drozdenko, deputy chief editor of the Russian military publication "Arsenal of the Fatherland": that there is a marked similarity between J-20 with the "ill-fated MiG 1.44", as well as the, non-publicly that China uses the engine AL-31F: Salut news agency reports, Chinese bought it for half a billion dollars.

a similar position, of NI opinion, It adheres to the leading Russian state news agency TASS, who gave a remark about, the Chinese appealed directly to the design of the Russian fighter at J-20 development.

With regard to engine problems, Russian military commentators join their Western counterparts in their skepticism about the status of the engine WS-15, which was delivered J-20. Questions the reliability of the Chinese engine turbine blades and remained hanging in the air: Information about, what in 2018 China was able to solve the problem turned out to be untrue. The NI it directly called speculation.

Mark Episkopos notes, that even though Moscow is not interested in buying Chinese fighter, the, it evaluates J-20, it is important for the subsequent export of the image of the Su-57 and its attempts to sell in China.
