Why is China the fourth country in the world that can independently develop advanced fighters?

China is the fourth country that can develop advanced fighters, engines and missiles at the same time.

China has successfully developed the J-J 10 fighter, Taihang engine and a new generation of air-to-air missiles, and China has become the fourth country in the world to independently develop advanced fighters, engines and missiles.

J- 10 fighter is the third generation fighter independently developed by China. It is a multi-purpose fighter, divided into single-seat and two-seat fighters. According to Song, the chief designer of the J-10 fighter, this new fighter has broken through a series of key aviation technologies such as advanced aerodynamic layout, digital fly-by-wire flight control system, highly integrated avionics system and computer-aided design, and reached the world's advanced tactical and technical requirements.

The successful development of J- 10 fighter indicates that China has become one of the few countries that can develop advanced fighters, and it also marks a major breakthrough in China's strategic deployment of developing heavy fighter. Geng Shuguang said that at present, J- 10 fighters have been equipped with troops in batches.

Military experts believe that the J- 10 fighter is a decisive step for China to become an aviation power. Although the performance of J- 10 fighter is not as good as that of the fourth generation fighter in the United States, its excellent basic design and generally localized supporting equipment enable it to compete with western fighters.

The successful development of "Taihang" engine indicates that China military aero-engine has achieved a leap from turbojet to turbofan, from medium thrust to large thrust. Taihang engine has become the supporting power device of the third generation main battle aircraft in China.

The successful development of a new generation of air-to-air missiles indicates that China's air-to-air missiles have achieved a leap from the third generation to the fourth generation. Since then, China has an active radar air-to-air missile with over-the-horizon launch capability, whether after launch or multi-target attack. Liu, CEO of J- 10 fighter, told reporters that after several generations of efforts and dedication, China's aviation industry has experienced a tortuous development path from repair-imitation-development-self-design. At present, it has developed into a complete aviation industry development system of design-development-test-service-trade.
