In fact, once locked by the radar, whether it is the J-20 or any other fighter aircraft, it is basically difficult to escape the missile pursuit.
Let's first look at the real story on the battlefield in Ukraine. On April 12, 2025, Ukrainian pilot Pavlo Ivanov flew a NATO-assisted F-16 on a mission. The aircraft was carrying an electronic warfare pod that claimed to be able to "crack all radars." As a result, it was targeted as soon as it locked on to Russian fighter jets.
The pilot hurried to interfere, hid from the first missile, but did not wait to breathe, the second followed up, and later learned that this was the Russian military's "joint hunting", the Su-35 fighter aircraft stared at the F-16 in the air, passed the position to the remote S-400 air defense system launch missile, which is the "A shot B" tactic said by experts.
In the end, the F-16 fell into the cornfield, and neither pilot was able to launch, and Central Television later made a special program to talk about the matter.
Let's talk about the conflict on the India-Pakistan border, which is even more surprising. In May 2025, India's Rafale fighter plane bought for US $250 million returned, only 20 kilometers away from the base. The pilot thought it was absolutely safe when he got home.
It was unthinkable that the Pakistani J-10CE locked it more than 180 kilometers away, a J-15E missile fired there, the missile flew especially thief, the engine can first breathe and save fuel, to reach the target and accelerate again, flying 80 kilometers in only 52 seconds.
The Rafale wanted to turn a corner to avoid it, but the missile turned much more flexibly than it did, and finally disintegrated directly in the air, leaving debris scattered all over the ground. The Indian army later admitted that at least three Rafales were caught in the hands of this missile.
There is even worse on the Red Sea side, the U.S. military F / A-18 fighter aircraft because the drone group interfered with the early warning aircraft, suddenly no "eyes", the missiles followed by the satellite signal, several fighter aircraft even the chance of rebellion did not collapse.
These are not individual cases, and the U.S. Land Company in 2025 made a model analysis, saying that in the face of new missiles, the probability of flight of the fighter aircraft is less than 2%, than it is more difficult than the five million lottery tickets.
The key to missiles being so horizontal lies in three samples. The first is that there are many "eyes" and thieves are bright. Some missiles have two "eyes", one relies on radar to find targets, and the other focuses on the hot air of the engine.
It's useless if you interfere with the radar. It immediately switches to infrared mode, and the hot air of the engine is more conspicuous in its eyes than a flashlight in the dark.
Just like the Russian missile hitting the F-16, electronic jamming doesn't work at all. Second, it flies fast and flexibly. The fastest speed of the fighter is only more than 2,000 kilometers per hour, but the Thunderbolt-15E can fly to more than 6,000 kilometers per hour, and there is no need to worry about whether the pilot can carry it when turning.
Man can withstand a maximum of 9 Gs of force, and more will faint, the missile will be able to reach more than 30 Gs, the radius of the turn is more than half the fighter aircraft is smaller, and you can keep up with it.
Now the war is not a single machine, early warning aircraft, satellites, ground radar connections, missiles after the launch do not need to find the target, by the data chain transmission information can be around interference flight.
Pakistan's attack on the wind was so dry, the early warning aircraft passed the location to the missile, the wind until the missile was close to the front only to alert to the police, can not hide at all.
Some people think that the Y-20 type of hidden warplanes are definitely okay, in fact, hidden aircraft is not all-powerful, hidden aircraft can only let the radar discover later, hide does not develop the motives of the heat signal, and now the early warning aircraft and satellites can woven into a "network", then hidden aircraft can also get out.
The military channel also broadcasted Y-20 exercises last year, and the new missile it launches can hit targets 200 kilometers away, and even direct other missile attacks, indicating that air warfare has become a “system fight” and not a single jet.
The old method of deceiving missiles by throwing bait bombs has also failed. Now the missile's radar can distinguish between real and false targets, and its hit accuracy can be as thick as a finger and directly hit the fuselage.
In the final analysis, it's not that fighter jets are no longer available, but that the gameplay of air combat has completely changed. In the past, it's better to compare whose aircraft flew faster and turned more quickly, but now it's better to compare whose missiles have longer range and brighter "eyes", and whose early warning aircraft and satellites are more powerful.
Our J-20 can use such powerful missiles, the production line can make 80 a day, which is the reflection of national strength.
In the film, the pilot throws the missile's play code and looks addicted, but in reality the air warfare is all hard power. The more advanced the technology, the better the system, the more initiative.
