J-K3

105 Redskuoen  3 months ago

J-K3 – a fictional Chinese early-generation fighter developed with foreign reference (ultimately superseded by the J-10) – features a dual-cockpit configuration: the rear seat houses a weapons systems officer (WSO), while the front pilot controls the aircraft's cannons.

Its aerospace-grade alloy armor withstands machine gun fire below 15mm caliber. Against larger rounds (20-30mm), though penetration is inevitable, skilled pilots could potentially return the aircraft to base if critical systems remain intact – provided crewmates don't panic and eject prematurely.

The airframe supports 1,000-3,000-pound bomb loads, with wing-mounted PL-5 (Pi Li-5) air-to-air missiles and fixed fire-and-forget guided missiles on the fuselage sides (controlled exclusively by the rear WSO via precision targeting).

Notably, the J-K3 proved unsuitable for aerobatic displays and was phased out shortly after production. Later variants like the J-K3S diverged significantly from its original design ethos.

(Reminder: This is a fictional aircraft. The inclusion of PL-5 missiles aligns with its Chinese design background.)
