    In general, the F15 fighter has a transfer range of **5745 km** with conformal fuel tanks, and **4630 km** without it. The F16C D fighter is equipped with an F100-GE-129 turbofan engine with a maximum afterburner thrust of kiloN and a thrust-to-weight ratio. The aircraft has a length of 19,204 kg, a height of meters, a wingspan of meters, and a maximum take-off weight of 19,204 kg.

    The maximum flight speed is Mach 2, the maximum range is 3800 km, and the practical ceiling is 17200 m.

    However, these figures are subject to change without refueling. In general, the flight time of fighters such as the F15 and F16 is about 3 to 5 hours without refueling. However, the specific flight time may be affected by factors such as flight altitude, flight speed, wind resistance, etc., so the actual situation may vary.

    The F15 fighter and the F16 fighter A B are the early single-two-seat type, which is mainly for air supremacy, and the CD is an improved single-two-seater, which has improved the ground attack capability and can be used for close support. The F15E F is a single-two-seater fighter-bomber with a focus on ground attack. These are equipped by the U.S. military, in addition to some special export models, such as the Japanese F15J (similar to the F15A B), the South Korean F15K (similar to the F15AE F), the Singapore F15SG (with the addition of a conformal fuel tank, the stealth performance is improved), as well as the Israeli F15i, the Saudi F-15E single-seat solution, the F-15F, etc.

    F16 also has a lot of export models, such as Israel F16i, South Korea F16K, UAE F16 E F, etc., and there are also divided by batches, such as UAE F16 E F, also called F16 Block60, which is very troublesome and I can't tell the difference.

    Generally speaking, the F-16, F-18 and F-14 are all fighters and have air and ground attack capabilities, while the F-15 is an air supremacy fighter with stronger air combat capabilities. The F-16, F-14, F-18 are a little better, and this is the main fighter of the US Navy.

    This should be said in many ways, because their uses are different, F-14 and F-18 are mainly carrier-based aircraft, used to take off from aircraft carriers, with a smaller bomb load, but they can last for a long time in the air, and the landing distance is short, while F-15 is mainly used for air combat and ground attack, F-16 has a variety of models, including combat interception type, ground attack type, reconnaissance interception type, etc., with strong mobility.

    In terms of overall strength, the F-16 is similar to the F-18, but the F-16 is still stronger.

    F15 is the most powerful - heavy annihilation (**expensive), so F16 was made so F15 > F16

    The F-14 and F-18 are mainly carrier-based aircraft, and the F14 is a heavy J-RO (**expensive) - hence the F18 that was created

    So f14> f18

    So f15> f14> f18> f16

    The United States itself said that their low-end aircraft F16, so it was ranked last, mainly relatively cheap, exported the main model, and exported F18 and even F22 to the allies of the United States

    Why F15 strong? The F22 is a heavy J-RO (** expensive), and the F35 is cheap, so the small fighter is not necessarily weak.

    Comprehensive strength F16, F18 strong; Air combat F15 strong.

    If there is PK between them, it is F15 strong.

    These fighters are difficult to compare.

    And you don't have a specific model of the individual fighter.

    If you talk about it from the base type.

    F14a is the most powerful.

    The F15A is the queen of the hangar.

    The F16A is a budget aircraft.

    F18a is just a little bee.

    The largest of the F15, the F16 is a light fighter that carries limited fuel on its own and does not fly very far. The F18 is a carrier-based aircraft, and its special take-off and landing methods determine that it cannot be too heavy and cannot carry too much fuel. The F15 is a heavy multi-role fighter that carries more fuel on its own, so it flies farther.

    The FC-1 program originated in 1988, when Chengdu Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. signed a contract with a foreign company to jointly develop the "Super -7" light fighter. In 1991, the programme was relaunched, and in 1992 the Aircraft Programme Group was established, and soon after that, Pakistan expressed interest in participating in joint development. The development of the Thunder Dragon fighter officially began.

    The "bump" (mussel) type air intake of the "Thunder" aircraft, almost everyone will give a thumbs up. It is understood that this new type of air inlet installed on the full state "Thunder" 04 plane, completely replaced the traditional surface layer partition inlet system in the past, which can obviously simplify the structure and reduce the weight, so as to improve the high-speed performance of the aircraft, and its advanced nature is self-evident.

    In addition, the "Thunder" aircraft also adopts the advanced overall arc wind shield and blister hatch design, which provides the pilot with a good cockpit vision, and the advanced design of the micro-explosive cable through the cover ejection life-saving system also makes the aircraft achieve the best life-saving ability in the unfavorable attitude at low altitude. These advanced technologies have greatly improved the overall performance and comprehensive combat capability of the "Thunder" aircraft, and enabled the "Thunder" 04 aircraft to fully adapt to the characteristics of the operational environment of the 21 st century.

    According to its method of dividing fighters, the West classifies the J-10 Raptors as a typical third-generation fighter, believing that it will be China's first domestically produced third-generation fighter to equip its troops and the first domestically produced fighter that truly has both air superiority and ground combat capabilities, and will be put into active service in 2006.

    In today's world, countries with advanced and reasonable air force fighter allocations all adopt the method of matching high and low, such as France's "Rafale" and "Mirage", Sweden's "Ray" and "Gripen", and Russia's Su-27 and MiG-29. Among them, the high and low configuration scheme of the American F-15 and F-16 is also accepted by China, and the J-10 plays a low role, of course, it is also more or less aimed at the design of the F-16. In the process of design and development, it is necessary to solve the three main technical characteristics of the third-generation fighter, namely, digital line-transmitted three-axis static instability control, wing-body fusion, and high-thrust turbofan engine, and the work is arduous.

    According to the more concentrated rumors in the outside world, China received some more important assistance from abroad at this time, and Israel provided China with a prototype and technical data of the "Cub Lion" light fighter improved from the F-16A, and the J-10 is a Chinese copy of the Israeli fighter "Cub Lion."

    To sum up, it can be seen that both the FC-1 Thunder and the J-10 Raptor belong to the third generation of fighters, and their performance is comparable to that of the American-made F-16. The F-15 is a typical representative of the third generation of American-made fighters, and together with the F-16, it forms a combination of high and low configurations. The F-15 is a heavy fighter and is comparable to the J-11 (Su-27 series) equipped by our army.

    Objectively speaking, it is difficult for the domestically produced Thunder and J-10 to gain an advantage in competition with the US F-15 and F-16.

    The Su-35 is more powerful than the F series.

    Su-35 does have a lot of technical remarkable, this fighter is also known as the verification model of the Russian fifth-generation fighter T50, which proves that a large number of new technologies will be used in the Su-35 fighter, including the latest vector engine, Snow Leopard E radar with powerful detection capabilities, ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles, as well as glass cockpit, upgraded control system, etc., it can be seen that Su-35 is almost no stealth ability of the fifth-generation aircraft, Many of the technologies used are the latest in Aeroflot.

    The F-15 is a very good third-generation fighter. Its maneuverability, range, and payload capability are all excellent. Before the advent of fourth-generation aircraft, the United States also regarded it as a treasure, and only exported it to a few countries such as Japan, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

    The F-15 is also the third-generation heavy fighter with the most combat experience. At this point, the Su-27 30 series and the European "Twin Winds" are also willing to bow down.

    Su-35 is powerful, in fact, these aircraft are nothing comparable F15 is the earliest with F16, F15's performance is higher than F16, and F18 is a carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, hehe It is mainly to replace the previous generation of aircraft carrier-based aircraft F14 But some scholars and experts believe that the performance of F18 is not as good as the previous generation of carrier-based aircraft F14

    If it is one-to-one, any of the corresponding models of the same era as the Su-35 can hang the Su-35. Russia's data on paper has always been very beautiful, even far surpassing the United States, but once it is in real combat. The party who uses ** immediately found out that the real performance is actually three percent off the price of jumping!

    Among them, India has been the worst pitted, and both fighters and aircraft carriers have suffered losses. There are many times, and no matter how many sophistries and excuses Russia has, everyone can see that this is the real reason why not a single Su-35 can be sold in the international market, and all those that were originally sold have been returned, while American fighters are in short supply, and users are full of praise. It has nothing to do with China's sophistry about what the United States is pressuring, and those countries are really afraid of this.

    I won't buy the Su-35 at all, and if I buy it and return it, then it's not a pressure at all. It's realistic, but it's also practical.

    Nonsense, the F117 is a purely experimental aircraft, which went to the battlefield due to the needs of the Gulf War, and its comprehensive capabilities cannot be compared with the F15 and F16 series.

    First of all, the F117 is a fighter-bomber (I personally believe that it does not have the ability to fight in the air), and secondly, you have said that it is very advanced, and it is also to be reported less for reasons of secrecy. In the end, the F117 has been decommissioned, so now there is less coverage.

    From the F15 to the F16 to the F35, the explosive development of American fighters experienced the end of the Cold War, when the economy grew unprecedentedly and the military expanded. So the best series of fighters was studied, as fighters with the best air mobility at that time.
