Chapter 1383 - J-20C carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing test

A certain island.

This is a test base, specially used for aircraft testing in the marine environment.

At this time, the door opened and a sci-fi aircraft was driving out of the hangar.

This is a J-20C fighter, which is a carrier-based J-20 fighter, which is specially used to obtain sea control, air control and sea attacks.

In this era, carrier-based fighter jets must be multi-purpose, and there are no pure air-controlled carrier-based fighter jets.

Because for aircraft carriers, its most important attack method is to use carrier-based fighters to launch strikes, which is mainly a strike against the earth-to-sea.

Of course, carrier-based fighters also need to engage in air combat. Whether it is an enemy carrier-based fighter or a land-based fighter, they must have strong air combat capabilities.

Therefore, like the J-11C fighter, the J-20C carrier-based fighter not only has strong air combat capabilities, but also has very powerful sea-to-ground attacks. When using stealth combat mode, the missile is built-in, so that the missile is relatively large. It is smaller, but very hidden, and it is not easy for the enemy to discover it.

Compared with the J-11 fighter, the performance advantages of the J-20 fighter are reflected in super stealth, super electronic systems, super maneuverability and supersonic cruise.

Although the J-20C fighter is a carrier-based fighter, its air combat capabilities are extremely powerful.

As one of the main carrier-based aircraft of the Type 003 aircraft carrier, the J-20C fighter acts as a door kicker and an assassin. During naval battles, first destroy the enemy's aircraft carrier decks, destroy the aircraft carrier-based aircraft, or destroy the enemy's advanced carrier-based aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, etc. in air battles. When the aircraft carrier formation initiated a land battle, the primary task of the J20C fighter was to destroy the enemy's radar system, air defense system, airport and other important military targets, and clear obstacles for the J10C fighter and J11C fighter.

This J-20C fighter has been tested here for a long time and has accumulated a lot of data.

Today, the J-20C fighter will conduct landing training, which is the first time the J-20C fighter has undergone landing training.

At this time, 300 nautical miles away, a Type 002B nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was in the waters, conducting aircraft carrier formation training.

The command ship is in contact with the experimental airport at any time.

As the only remaining aircraft carrier formation in China, it is also an aircraft carrier formation that truly forms combat effectiveness. The importance of this aircraft carrier formation can be imagined.

Although an aircraft carrier formation with the 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier as the core participated in the military parade during the military parade last year, in fact, this 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has not been truly delivered, let alone truly realize its combat effectiveness.

Naturally, a series of current experiments on the J-20C carrier-based aircraft fell on this 002B nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

300 nautical miles is not a long distance for the J-20C fighter.

When the J-20C fighter appeared, the speed continued to slow down and the altitude continued to decline.

The J-20C fighter was very fast when landing, but the speed was decreasing rapidly and finally stopped.

When the J-20C fighter successfully landed, everyone couldn't help but applaud.

This also means that the first landing test of the J-20C fighter was a complete success.

After a while, the ground crew took the boarding ladder, the test pilot got off the boarding ladder, and then cooperated with the ground crew to inspect the J-20C fighter jet.

After the inspection, the test pilot attended the meeting. At the meeting, the test pilot reported the relevant reports on the test flight process and applied for the first test of the J-20C fighter taking off from the aircraft carrier.

The takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft are very dangerous. If you are not careful, the aircraft will be very likely to plunge into the sea.

In recent years, the Chinese Navy has paid high tuition fees in this regard.

Once the plane falls into the sea, there is no value for repair.

Because seawater erodes materials and erodes various electronic components, repair costs no less than rebuilding a new one.

More importantly, carrier-based aircraft often fall into the sea and the probability of living is very small.

After all, whether it can be ejected out of the warehouse in time is very critical.

Not to mention ejecting out of the warehouse and falling into the sea, it is not like a person entering the sea water.

The test flight stage is more dangerous than the application stage, because it is truly wandering between life and death.

This is why the risk of test pilots is much greater than that of pilots.

Any test pilot is an extremely excellent pilot and is very valuable.

The meeting held full discussion and agreed to hold the first ship takeoff test.

The takeoff and landing of the J11C fighter and J10C fighter aircraft carriers are no longer needed, because they are very mature, and the naval aviation on the aircraft carriers can already master this skill very well.

But the J-20C fighter is different. This is a new carrier-based aircraft, a new generation of aircraft carrier-based aircraft.

Once it fails, the test flight will not be carried out for at least half a year.

Two hours later, the test flight finally began.

With the gesture of wearing a yellow vest on the deck, the test pilot increased the accelerator. With the acceleration of the powerful electromagnetic catapult, the plane quickly reached the takeoff speed and took off.

Seeing that the J-20C fighter successfully completed its takeoff, everyone couldn't help but applaud.

Although carrier-based aircraft are often trained to take off, everyone is unsure of a new and advanced carrier-based aircraft like the J-20C.

Instead of driving the J-20C carrier-based aircraft back to the aircraft carrier deck, the test pilot flew towards the island's test airport.

The J-20C carrier-based aircraft has completed the test flight, but the aircraft carrier training has not yet ended.

If you want to exert strong combat effectiveness in war, ordinary training is essential.

In the ocean, there are various environments, such as high winds and high waves, and in most cases, they must be able to take off and land.

Similarly, takeoff and landing at night must also be achieved.

This is inseparable from ordinary training.

In addition to carrier-based fighter jets, carrier-based helicopters, carrier-based early warning aircraft, carrier-based tanker aircraft, etc.!

Some carrier-based helicopters are transport aircraft, which lift cargo supplies, or transport personnel to and from different warships. Of course, there are also anti-submarine helicopters, which are responsible for anti-submarine missions. There are also patrol helicopters, responsible for patrol missions.

Carrier-based early warning aircraft, which is only available in the 002B nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, is equipped with the Air Guard 600, which is a multiplier of the combat effectiveness of the carrier-based aircraft.

Carrier-based tanker, which can refuel carrier-based fighter jets in the air and increase the combat radius of carrier-based fighter jets.

The take-off and landing training of these carrier-based aircraft, including air cooperation drills, is a daily training subject.

In addition to the training of carrier-based aircraft, the training of frigates, destroyers, submarines, etc. is also essential.

Occasionally, aircraft carriers and 0.55 million tons of large-driving drives will also carry out carrier-based laser cannons for air defense project drills, and the targets are often drone targets.

Before we knew it, it came July 1st.

The South China Sea Fleet is full of joy.

Because the first ship of the 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the "Xiangjiang Ship", was officially delivered to the South China Sea Fleet.

In the competition for this nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, all three fleets wanted to end up in the South China Sea Fleet.

The aircraft carrier formation composed of the "Xiangjiang Ship" has officially become the second aircraft carrier formation in China.

Whether it is a frigate, destroyer, submarine, or supply ship, it is ready-made.

The carrier-based fighter uses J-10C fighter and J-11C fighter. As for the J-20C fighter, it will not be equipped until later.

In the past, the three major fleets of the Chinese Navy were undoubtedly the strongest in the North Sea Fleet.

However, since the mid-1980s, its strength began to change. The South China Sea Fleet had the first place to get the moon and continuously gained advanced warships. Its strength gradually caught up with and surpassed the North China Fleet, and then became the leader of the three major fleets in China.

It has many excellent deep-water ports, and the water is deep, so it is not easy to be detected. This is also the main concentration of submarines.

After all, for a submarine, the less likely it is to be detected, the better, and the more secret it is, the better.

Because submarines can only become ‘ghosts’ and use the most powerful deterrent force to make the target warships unsafe.

Just like strategic nuclear submarines, the reason why they have extremely strong deterrence is because once the strategic nuclear submarine is launched in deep water of the sea, it is very likely that they are intercontinental missiles carrying nuclear warheads.

The delivery of the "Xiangjiang Ship" can be said to have further led the South China Sea Fleet to the North China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet.

As soon as the "Xiangjiang Ship" was delivered, it was in the form of an aircraft carrier formation at sea, with an extremely amazing formation.

If you don’t understand, you will think that this second aircraft carrier formation in China has formed combat power, but only those who know the true background will know that it will take at least one or two years before the second aircraft carrier formation in China can form true combat power.

Of course, once the situation is urgent, it is not impossible to go out to fight.

The delivery of the "Xiangjiang Ship" is also encouraging to the citizens of Xiangjiang. After all, this is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier named after Xiangjiang, and it is also a large aircraft carrier.

Liu Tao and Zhang Zhaozhong attended the delivery ceremony. After the delivery ceremony, they boarded the "Xiangjiang Ship" and visited the "Xiangjiang Ship". This nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a capacity of more than 100,000 tons is a real steel giant. The beast is extremely huge.

There are also carrier-based aircraft parked on the deck, and there are also carrier-based aircraft in the hangar.

Since the delivery is completed, it naturally also includes the delivery of carrier-based aircraft.

Zhang Zhaozhong's face was full of smiles, one step behind Liu Tao, and said that the delivery expectations of the 'Macau Ship' and 'Guangdong Ship' would be, and then the Chinese Navy would have four major aircraft carrier formations.

Appearance is combat effectiveness! Tonnage is combat effectiveness!

This is definitely a law for the Navy!

Although the role of aircraft carriers faces great challenges with the development of missiles. But you should know that the deterrent power of an aircraft carrier is still not to be ignored. It is still a country's magic weapon with a strategic deterrent power.

Especially for small and medium-sized countries, the deterrence is full.

It is a great power and a large aircraft carrier is its identity symbol.

Although the 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is ranked second in the world's aircraft carrier ranking by European and American media, and is ranked behind the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, anyone who knows professional knowledge knows how unreliable this ranking is. 003 The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is definitely much more advanced than the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.

Whether it is electromagnetic catapult, deck layout, etc., the Type 003 aircraft carrier is at the leading level.

Not to mention, there are laser cannons that the outside world does not know.

For more than 20 years, the Chinese Navy has been like the New Year every year. Advanced warships have been one after another. Now it has large aircraft carriers, and they are large nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. This is not even the navy at the peak of the Soviet era. .

Now even Russia wants to build an aircraft carrier, it is difficult to build, but the Chinese aircraft carrier is like dumplings.

The Type 001 light aircraft carrier, which was used to be regarded as a treasure by the Chinese Navy, has long been disliked and forgotten.

With the Type 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, who still wants the Type 001 light aircraft carrier!

People always have this kind of virtue, and they are tired of the old and the old!

In the past, Panshan Group exported the Type 001 light aircraft carrier, but the Navy did not have no objections, but there were many oppositions.

After all, the Chinese Navy lacks aircraft carriers, how can it be exported to aircraft carriers!

As for exporting the Type 002 aircraft carrier, many naval officers and soldiers felt that the sky was about to collapse, and they even said that Panshan Group was jealous of money and dared to sell anything for money. If this continues, it would be dangerous.

Now with the launch of the Type 003 aircraft carrier one after another, the navy unanimously stated how wise the previous decision was!

Of course, some netizens still think that advanced warships should not be exported. It is not conducive to confidentiality, and on the other hand, the navies of other countries become stronger, which is not a good thing.

This statement is not unreasonable, but in the final analysis it is just a choice of interests!

On the other hand, if the navies of other countries become stronger, they can curb the hegemony of some countries and oppose hegemony!

Just like Germany, the navy becomes strong and the confidence is enough!

All the warships ordered by Germany back then have been delivered, which has greatly improved the strength of Germany's naval strength.

Now Germany's military strength can increase significantly compared with before, and it cannot be underestimated whether it is the army, navy or air force.

Germany also has the confidence to say "no" to the United States, and Merkel has criticized and accused the United States a lot.

Up to now, many people even believe that Germany's military power has surpassed France and has become the largest military power in Europe.

Zhang Zhaozhong and Liu Tao told Liu Tao that China needs at least thirteen Type 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and then China will have at least thirteen aircraft carrier formations to protect legitimate rights and interests.

Liu Tao smiled and didn't say much!

The Type 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier may build 13 ships, but it may also be possible to build only 6 or 5 ships.

He is still weighing the trade-offs here.

The Type 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is very advanced, but it can also have more advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

For example, nuclear fission reactors are improved into controllable nuclear fusion reactors.

For example, some of the current cannons have been improved to electromagnetic cannons!

Once an aircraft carrier is built, it will be retired for at least decades.

The more warships are built, the better, but need to be considered for renewal.

Just like the United States and the Soviet Union built ships crazily, these are now old ships that have been in service for decades.

Warships, the performance of the new generation will be significantly improved compared to the performance of the previous generation.

Just like the destroyers of China, the performance of the Type 055 destroyer is greatly improved compared to the latest Type 052 destroyer. The latest Type 055 destroyer has the power to resist an aircraft carrier formation.
