Are the fighters equipped with shells and bullets?

0 1, Debate on "Gun and Bomb" in Airborne Weapons

After the advent of air-to-air missile, it has the characteristics of fast response, good maneuverability, small size, light weight, flexible and convenient use. The United States, the Soviet Union, France and other aviation powers, in the late 1950s, newly developed fighter planes were designed and equipped with air-to-air missiles. However, at that time, there was controversy about whether to design and install the gun.

Those who support the installation of machine guns believe that fighter guns are another choice of combat weapons. However, those who oppose the installation of air guns believe that air-to-air missiles have the advantages of longer range, higher hit accuracy and greater power than air guns. The gun has a range of only a few hundred meters and its accuracy is not high. What's more, air bombs and ammunition are consumed quickly. Take the American M6 1 Vulcan gun as an example. The maximum firing rate is 7200/ min, the normal firing rate is 4000/ min, and the bomb load is 1200 rounds. It will be used up in a few seconds, which will not play much role.

02. Is China's J-20 completely made in China?

Some technologies of the J-20 can be said to be not entirely domestic. As the fifth generation stealth fighter of China, the development goal of J-20 is to fight against the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter of the United States. Many technologies of the J-20 can be said to be independently developed and designed by China, so generally speaking, the J-20 can be said to be basically a domestic fighter. However, the core engine of the early fighters of the J-20 was the Russian AL-3 1F engine, and the first flight of the J-20 prototype was 20 1 1. Even a few aircraft produced in the early stage used the core technology of Russia.

However, other equipment and cutting-edge technologies of the J-20 are made in China, such as phased radar, and the overall design and stealth are independently designed and developed by China. So it can be said that the whole J-20 is produced by China itself.
