据“飞行国际”（FlightGlobal）网站16日报道，美国太平洋空军司令肯尼斯·威尔斯巴赫（Kenneth Wilsbach）在15日的一场线上讨论中透露，美国F-35近期曾与中国歼20战斗机在东海上空近距离接触，并且表示歼20飞得相当好，相当专业。不过，他并没有透露具体的相遇时间。

一位美国空军高官称，洛克希德·马丁F-35已经不止一次与成都歼20发生对峙，陕西空警500空中早期预警与控制飞机在远程空对空杀伤链条中扮演关键角色。美国太平洋空军司令官肯尼斯·威尔斯巴赫并未透露歼20与F-35何时发生了对峙，以及对峙次数是否在一次以上。

中国新型战斗机的作用也触动了威尔斯巴赫。“现在说他们将如何运用歼20还为时尚早，到目前我们看到的它还只是负责争夺空中优势。”

美国空军米切尔空天研究院在YouTube的账号上发布了一段探讨视频，威尔斯巴赫在其中评论道：“我们注意到他们飞得相当棒，最近——我不想叫这为交手——在东海上空，我们的F-35相对距离歼20已非常近，故而我们对与歼20相关联的指挥和控制也留下了印象。”

“我们目睹歼20非常专业的飞行。但是中国到底要让歼20做什么，是像能承担很多很多任务的F-35，还是像具备一定空对地能力但制空优先的F-22，现在说起来还为时尚早。”

空警500也给威尔斯巴赫留下深刻印象。近年来，它作为中国重要的空中早期预警与控制平台横空出世。

空警500装备4台涡桨发动机，其基础是运9战术运输机。空警500装备3坐标有源相控阵雷达，天线罩固定于机身上方，据信雷达探测可以实现360°全覆盖。

据信，中国远程空对空导弹霹雳15的射程超过107海里（200公里）。这种雷达制导的武器可由多型飞机挂载，如成都歼10C，沈阳歼11B、歼15、歼16，以及巴基斯坦航空制造复合体的第三批次JF-17，该厂位于伊斯兰堡。

威尔斯巴赫的此番言论是在暗示，空警500可能会在战斗中为中国战斗机识别和分配目标，然后，战斗机就可以在非常远的距离外发射配有自寻的主动雷达的霹雳15导弹。

歼20海上应对管控

另据央视7套《军事报道》栏目3月5日聚焦了空军歼-20飞行员王立，在节目中，王立透露，自他改装歼-20战机以来，他参加过不少任务，包括大型的体系演习、还有平时的海上应对管控。这是歼-20部队首次证实参加平时海上应对管控。

“飞行国际”报道原文如下

A top US Air Force (USAF) general says that Lockheed Martin F-35s have had at least one encounter with Chengdu J-20s, and that the Shaanxi KJ-500 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft has a key role in long-range air-to-air kill chains.

USAF General Kenneth Wilsbach, Commander, Pacific Air Forces did not, however, divulge when the F-35/J-20 encounter took place, or if there have been more than one. He also touched on the role of the new Chinese fighter.

“It’s a bit early to say what they intend to do with the J-20, so really all we’ve seen it do is air superiority,” he says.

“But we notice that they are flying it pretty well. We recently had – I wouldn’t call it an engagement – where we got relatively close to the J-20s along with our F-35s in the East China Sea, and we’re relatively impressed with the command and control associated with the J-20.”

Wilsbach made the remarks during a discussion posted on the YouTube channel of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.

“We’re seeing relatively professional flying and it’s still too early to tell exactly what they intend to do with [the J-20] – whether it’s going to be more like an F-35 that’s capable of doing many, many missions or more like an F-22 that is primarily an air superiority fighter that has an air-to-ground capability.”

Wilsbach also touched on the KJ-500, which in recent years has emerged as China’s key AEW&C platform.

Powered by four turboprops, the KJ-500 is based on the Y-9 tactical transport. The aircraft carries a three-panel active electronically scanned array radar in a fixed radome above the fuselage. This is understood to provide 360° radar coverage.

“The KJ-500 plays a significant role in some of their capability for long range fires,” says Wilsbach.

“Some of their very long range air-to-air missiles are aided by that KJ-500. Being able to interrupt that kill chain is something that interests me greatly.”

China’s PL-15 long range air-to-air missile is understood to have a range in excess of 107nm (200km). The radar-guided weapon is carried by types such as the Chengdu J-10C, Shenyang J-11B, J-15 and J-16, Islamabad’s Pakistan Aeronautical Complex JF-17 Block 3, and the J-20.

Wilsbach’s remarks hint that the KJ-500 may identify and assign targets for Chinese fighters, which can then launch the active radar homing PL-15 from great stand-off distances.
