According to Japan’s “diplomats” Web site reported on July 18, the U.S. beat the Chinese air force’s plan may face failure due to financial cutbacks, and the development of the plan just last year.
The article said that the theory is the so-called “sea air” theory, by the U.S. Navy and Air Force planners in the last year to develop. It is reported that the U.S. military hopes to use the Air Force bombers and Navy submarines cooperation countries such as China and Iran defeat radar and air defense missiles.
March, the United States in its operations in Libya led a successful test of the theory. America’s “Florida” for Libya’s submarine radar and fired anti-aircraft systems, “Tomahawk” cruise missiles; Meanwhile, three B-2 bombers from bases in Missouri, central United States took off, flying over 6000 miles later, Libya put some of the same target within a satellite-guided bombs; the collapse of the great actions of the Libyan air defense capability.
“Florida” and three B-2 bombers behind the Libyan air defense systems to cope with enough, but the face of China is more advanced systems, the United States needs more weapons and better bombers. To this end, the Pentagon prepared to develop new long-range stealth bombers, and will replace it within the next ten years is now more than 160 aircraft B-1, B-2 and sophisticated use of the B-52 bombers. The aircraft was known as the B-3, the R & D and production may cost $ 40 billion.
However, this is the Pentagon’s budget is a bit more. Obama and the Republican Party as the comprehensive spending cuts as part of U.S. military spending over the next decade may be reduced $ 1 trillion. Despite the accelerated withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan to reduce the amount of spending, but some weapons programs are still inevitable fate of being cut.
U.S. Marine Corps Gen. James – Cartwright (James Cartwright) first suggested that the new bomber might have meant the fate. He said he was a “bomber who hate”; and questioned whether the Pentagon can assume that the new bomber production costs.
Obviously, Cartwright did not question the need for bombers, but the military questioned the success of R & D capabilities. He said, “bomber is necessary”; he just questioned the ongoing U.S. military bomber research and development, and should have performance.
the same time, an influential U.S. Navy strategists recently wrote a report questioned the “sea air” theory, and the development of new bomber is reasonable. Retired Col. Wayne – Hughes (Wayne Hughes) that “we should not adopt a continental country sea and air attack plan, which will certainly lead to World War IV.” (Adams-year)
