J-20 Loyal Wingman, F-35C in Chinese Hands?, Marine Fighter Race Heats Up, Pakistan Navy’s Sea Sultan for Indian Ocean

As India drops P8I Aircraft, Pakistan Navy started using P8I as Sea Sultan

P8I was deployed during the 2017 Doklam standoff although it’s a naval aircraft, such are the advantages of these aircraft that our neighbor Pakistan has started to acquire these kinds of aircraft. Pakistan has started acquiring Embraer lineage 1000 aircraft named ‘Sea Sultan’ to replace its Lockheed P3 Orion and to serve the same purpose as Boeing P8I.

The acquisition is aligned with Pakistan Navy’s modernization plan and would serve the intention of maintaining the balance with the Indian Navy. The induction of the Sea sultan will definitely enhance the Pakistan navy’s maritime surveillance capabilities. But what is interesting is the makeshift arrangements (“Jugaad”) that were done to acquire these aircraft.

Sea sultan is converted from Embraer lineage 1000 civilian aircraft. Italy’s Leonardo will support to equip the aircraft with anti-submarine systems and South Africa’s Paramount Group will support the conversion from the airliner.

PLA Global Times Speculates That J-20 Fighter Could Operate With Unmanned Drones

The Global Times suggested that the J-20 could fly with unmanned systems, similar to the US Air Force Loyal Wingman program. China may be mirroring the US Air Forces Loyal Wingman program. The Air Force program is intended to enable manned jets to operate with semi-autonomous drones.

People’s Liberation Army Air Force is experimenting with manned & unmanned teaming with its J-20 fifth generation stealth fighter jet.

The Air Force Airpower Teaming System and the Loyal Wingman aircraft enables manned fighters to be linked to unmanned drones. Incoming information from the unmanned systems, such as video, still photos, or electronic warfare information, can be collected and organized by onboard computer processing, greatly improving operational efficiency and multiplying mission options.

The Global Times suggested that the loyal wingman concept could prove useful in its new twin seat J-20 as a second crew member could operate the drones while a pilot flew the aircraft.

Combat data from the second seat could be gathered, analyzed and used to train artificial intelligence, which could eventually replace the second pilot.

F-35C in Chinese Hands? How Bad Would it be for America if the PLA Recovered its Sunk Stealth Fighter

On January 24th after a landing mishap on the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, a new F-35C Lightning Too stealth fighter was lost into the South China Sea during routine operations in the area. This marked the third loss of an F-35 at sea with a British F-35B having crashed in the Mediterranean shortly after launch in November.

The vastness of the South China Sea, and the large presence of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the region, has raised the possibility that the F-35 could fall into Chinese hands should it not be recovered or destroyed quickly by US forces.

This would be a particularly significant blow to the US and its clients considering the size of the F-35 program and the likely very significant benefits which China and its defence partners could gain from studying the airframe.

Race heats up for Indian naval fighter deal, US says it meets all tech criteria

The race to supply new aircraft carrier born fighter jets to the Indian Navy is heating up, with the US offering set to follow the French Rafale-M in an operational demonstration in Goa in March and its manufacturers saying that all technical requirements will be met.

The competition to initially supply 26 jets (18 single seaters and eight twin seat trainers) to the Indian Navy is being processed under a government to government mode, with requests for an operational demonstration sent to the US and French embassies.

The French Rafale-M has already conducted a series of trials at the Shore Based Test Facility in Goa and the US F/A 18 Super Hornet will follow suit, with its developers saying that all issues with the aircraft, including the ability to lower it into the deck hangar of the Indian aircraft carrier have been resolved.

Boeing has developed a capability specifically for the F/A-18 Super Hornet that will allow for the faster movement of the aircraft between the flight deck and Hangar without having to remove or modify any part of the aircraft.
