Chapter 1281 Huge gap in military strength

In this world, the gap in power between countries is beyond imagination!

This world has been changing, but it has also not changed.

What has changed is development. The whole world is moving forward, and the speed of development is very fast, and the improvement of productivity is very large.

What has not changed is that this world has always been dominated by big countries and powerful countries. The relationship between big countries and powerful countries determines international relations and international order.

The five permanent members are recognized as the five strongest countries on the earth.

How strong are the five permanent members?

They contribute more than a quarter of the world's population, more than a quarter of the land area and more than half of the GDP!

If there were no international law constraints, there would be more regions and countries queuing up to become administrative regions of the five permanent members. For example, Puerto Rico has held referendums many times to become a state of the United States.

Of course, some people use a sentence to describe the five permanent members and non-five permanent members, that is, one destiny is in their own hands, and the other is in the hands of others.

The military gap in this world is so large that it is unimaginable. This is something that ordinary Chinese people do not think about at all, but feel.

There are more than 200 countries and regions in the world, which sounds like a lot.

Just having a tank can surpass more than 100 countries and regions, because more than 100 countries and regions do not have a tank.

Having a fighter can surpass more than 140 countries and regions, because more than 140 countries and regions in the world do not have fighters!

The military strength of the five permanent members and non-permanent members is very large.

If you want to rank the five permanent members, there is a saying that China, the United States and Russia are the top three permanent members, while Britain and France are the bottom two permanent members.

In other words, if someone wants to challenge the five permanent members, they should defeat Britain and France first.

And the configuration of Britain and France, just to name a few, nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, nuclear weapons, these are enough to crush most countries.

Although it is not as glorious as before, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it can be said that it is easy to bully some cattle and horses.

Argentina has developed well in recent years, and its weapons and equipment have been greatly improved compared with the Falklands War.

But even if Armando Mayora wants to take back the Falklands, he has not directly chosen to take back the Falklands by force, but only to engage in a war of words with the British.

The strength of Britain and France has declined greatly, which is a relative decline, but it is still stronger than most countries and regions in the world.

Even the three permanent members have to consider the interests and face of Britain and France in some aspects.

Even Europe, led by France, had to withdraw from Africa and completely hand over Africa after several years of war.

But even so, there are still many Africans who are deeply influenced by Europe and admire Europe.

The H-10 strategic bomber is related to China's triad nuclear strike force.

Now China's most deterrent strategic bomber is the Tu-160 strategic bomber purchased that year.

However, the Tu-160 strategic bomber has been in service for more than ten or twenty years, and it can serve for another twenty years at most, and at most thirty years.

In any case, China needs to have its own domestic strategic bomber.

After inspecting the H-10 strategic bomber, Liu Tao went to the test flight group of the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft. The hangar of the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft is also very large and looks very majestic.

This strategic transport aircraft with a load capacity of 66 tons will play a vital role in the strategic transport of China's future air force.

Not long after the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft rolled off the production line, it was handed over to the Flight Test Institute for test flight work.

The Chinese Air Force attaches great importance to the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft, because it is related to China's ability to deliver troops and materials.

Just one Y-20 strategic transport aircraft can carry 66 tons of supplies.

If it is to deliver troops, a single-layer cargo hold can carry more than 200 fully armed soldiers, and a two-layer cargo hold can carry more than 300 fully armed soldiers.

This means that only two or three Y-20 strategic transport aircraft are needed to deliver an infantry battalion-sized force at one time.

Since the Second World War, the paratroopers have attracted much attention.

This is because air delivery will have the effect of a surprise force.

In the Iraq War, a very important reason why the US military was able to defeat the Iraqi army was that the US military carried out large-scale troop projection, which sent a large number of troops into Iraq, disrupted the deployment of the Iraqi army, and thus defeated the Iraqi army.

Although the US military suffered heavy losses, this war was definitely a textbook-level military event.

China is also building air projection forces.

However, the air projection force now relies on Soviet-made strategic transport aircraft.

Transport helicopters are used for short-distance troop projection. For example, the Z-50 super-heavy helicopter can transport hundreds of soldiers at a time, but the range of the Z-50 super-heavy helicopter is definitely far from the maximum range at this time. At that time, the range of the helicopter is only a few hundred kilometers.

Strategic transport aircraft are different. They can be projected over long distances.

Thousands of kilometers of troop projection!

The Y-20 strategic transport aircraft will not appear at this year's Zhuhai Air Show, but it is very likely to appear at the next Zhuhai Air Show.

Liu Tao and Yang Wei discussed the improvement of the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft.

The Y-20 strategic transport aircraft is not just a military strategic transport aircraft, but it will be improved on the basis of the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft into the Y-20 aerial refueling aircraft, the Y-20 early warning aircraft, and the Y-20 large electronic warfare aircraft!

As a special military strategic transport aircraft, the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft can be improved in a lot of ways.

For example, the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft is used as a platform to build a new early warning aircraft. The official name has been decided, which is the KJ-3000.

KJ means airborne early warning aircraft.

According to the set indicators, the KJ-3000 will adopt a subversive and original digital array radar technology. The advantage of this radar is that it uses digital signal technology to process array signals and realize beam forming, while ensuring good beam performance. Both the receiving and transmitting beams use digital wave forming technology, which is presented in a digital way. Compared with traditional active phased array radars, the performance is improved several times without affecting the flexibility of digital processing.

This kind of radar will make stealth aircraft nowhere to hide.

A series of advanced technology applications are to build KJ-3000 into a new generation of theater-level air defense warning and command and combat system.

Even Panshan Group is developing unmanned early warning aircraft. By then, the rules of future air combat will be formed. KJ-3000, unmanned early warning aircraft, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and drone groups, plus fighter groups and bomber groups will build a new air combat system.

Now drones have played a big role in the army, and the role of drones will become bigger and bigger in the future.

Not to mention, the Y-20 tanker and the Y-20 large electronic warfare aircraft are no less important than the KJ-3000. (End of this chapter)
