Compare, Score the F-22 and F-35 VS the Su-57 and J-20 | Military History |
The past few years have seen fierce competition among fifth-generation stealth fighters. While Russia moves toward commissioning the Su-57 Felon fighter, China launches the J-20 Might Dragon equipped with a new engine as the country's answer to the pair of stealth fighters F-22 Raptor and F- 35 Lightning II of the United States.
F-35, the pride of America, is known as the most modern fighter aircraft in the world. The high-tech aircraft recently moved a step closer to becoming the first fifth-generation fighter capable of conducting nuclear attacks.
The F-35 Lightning II is a single-seat fighter and has three variants, which are F-35A (conventional takeoff and landing version for the US Air Force), F-35B (short takeoff version). and vertical landing for the US Marine Corps) and the F-35C (aircraft carrier version for the US Navy).

On September 21, 2021, two US Air Force F-35A aircraft equipped with a simulated version of the B61-12 tactical nuclear bomb performed the final test flight within the framework of the test program called “Full weapon system demonstration”.

The US Air Force issued a statement saying that the test helped the F-35A Lightning II become the most typical B61-12 bomb testing device.

To pass the nuclear certification process, F-35A fighters must go through two stages. After completing the first in-flight test for initial nuclear certification, the aircraft needs to perform a graduation test flight to obtain nuclear design certification.

The data obtained from these tests will then be evaluated by the US Department of Defense and the US Department of Energy to check whether both the F-35A and the B61-12 bomb performed their roles in the two tests. tested or not.
Despite the strong rise from China, stealth technology as well as the air war with raptor and lightning and the upcoming NGAD, America is still the number 1 power in the world in this field.
