China’s deadly nuclear strike “short board”

According to the “World Daily “(South Korean military media” Silla Air Force Forum “recently published an article, between the two countries by the growing military cooperation fiery, interpretation of the Chinese Air Force strategic bomber development of the future direction of the article that China as the world’s number is not more than a few have “Trinity nuclear forces,” the country, and its strategic bombers and strategic bombing capability has always been considered the weakest link, but thanks to the Uruguayan military cooperation and bring a lot of technical input, not only helps China to change the status quo, but also enable China to meet the conditions to establish a strategic air strike force. compiled newspaper article, a reference work.

strategic bombing is to get rid of “strategic objectives”

strategic bombing theory was first proposed by the famous Italian military strategist Douhet in his book, “air supremacy” system proposed in his book, World War II initially, the British military theorist profits Earhart on this theory a more detailed elaboration, that “the real war in the decision, the outcome of the battle fought even the smallest scale factor, is to make the opponent lose hope rather than life, and strategic It played a role in the bombing of this. “World War II, represented by Anglo-American Allies against Germany and Japan for the large-scale strategic bombing is actually to Douhet’s theory of profits based on Earhart at the end of World War II, The U.S. military also conducted the first nuclear bomb.

But it is undeniable, both American and British forces on Germany’s day/night bombing, or the U.S. bombing of Japan’s all-weather, with today’s vision view all belong to the surface like the bombing, that bombing only when the density reaches a certain level can cause critical damage on enemy targets, means that the ground bombing can play the “deterrent” effect is very limited.

World War II, strategic bombing theory began to change. the early Cold War, Soviet strategic bomber fleet between the two countries are facing a relatively awkward position, that is, on the one hand with the possibility of a serious outbreak of World War there (third World War seems imminent), a similar large-scale strategic bombing during World War II has become a standing task; the other hand, U.S. and Russian strategic response to the bombing may have been to build a very strong air defense and interception system in this environment, which in World War II strategic bombing capability to maintain the number of bombers, just as a constraint at this time, a key factor for strategic bombing, when the Soviet bomber fleet requirements must be able to win air superiority has not been the case on the enemy major target bombing mission at this time if the increase in the number of bombers, must expose itself more easily; and if reducing the size of bomber formations, they can not effectively combat the bombing targets.

Therefore, the United States at this time Soviet Union in World War II, the formation of an urgent need to “face the bombing of” freeing the system to create new forms of warfare and equipment, precision-guided weapons, began to step forward.

In fact, as early as the end of World War II, Germany has developed a real-type guided weapons, which only a “Fritz-X” guided bombs had sunk up to 35,000 tons displacement, and ready to surrender to the Allies of the Italian battleship “Rome” was, while subject to technology at the time and the status of defeated Germany, the German did not get to continue to develop the appropriate products, but they rely on the war between the Soviet Union initially obtained from a large number of technical information in Germany, developed his first batch of real-type guidance weapons, the most representative is America’s “Pave Paws” series laser-guided bombs, and in the Vietnam War made a brilliant record.

the introduction of new guided weapons, not only gives the traditional strategic bomber fleet the true sense of the enemy to the level of precision bombing capabilities, but also gives a number of tactical aircraft to perform strategic bombing capability. Of particular note is the generation of guided weapons and large-scale application of the basic concepts of strategic bombing makes a great place changes that define whether a bombing campaign of strategic bombing standard, has been gradually from the form of equipment and whether the strategic areas of operations, whether to target areas of strategic change.

China’s nuclear strike force fatal “short board”

by land mobile or fixed launchers, bombers and strategic submarines, a “trinity nuclear power”, the strategic bombers far in terms of its technical difficulty and not the biggest, and therefore represented the high end of the US-Russian nuclear countries in the development of strategic bombers are active, but on the other hand, another world with a complete “three nuclear power” of the country, although not the Chinese strategic nuclear power like the Soviet Union as as “the backbone of world hegemony,” but with relatively sufficient land-based and sea-based nuclear forces, nuclear forces compared to the present stage of China’s strategic bomber is a bit lackluster.

Undoubtedly, one political and the actual demand played an important role, but in the concept and related equipment was very old in China have strategic bombers, has become increasingly difficult to bear at the present stage and future combat missions a short time while at this time Ukraine is gradually its unique advantages, gradually replaced the Russian military procurement in China’s position, its output of high-tech products, or re-enable access to the West in the eyes of Chinese bombers “actual combat”.

China long-term strategic bomber fleet gives us a feeling better than nothing. only from the equipment level, this evaluation does not seem derogatory meaning since the founding of China since the introduction of self-made bombers and only two, namely, H -5 (similar to IL-28 from the former Soviet Union-type light jet bombers) and H-6 (A replica of the former Soviet Tu-16 medium jet bomber-type). The two fighters in the development stage with contemporaries in other countries bombers than in performance has significantly lagged behind thereafter despite repeated improvements, subject to the restrictions of the original body structure, the actual effect is not obvious. H -5 bombers eventually discontinued in 1984, is now out of front-line troops, while the H-6 bombers The latest model, the H-6K (not yet confirmed the real existence) is struggling to support China’s strategic bomber fleet. The situation is a bit like “Admiral Kuznetsov” aircraft carrier of the Russian bullet facade.

China’s strategic bomber fleet

cause a “short board” because not only capital and technology, but the main thing for their own needs. China in the Cold War with strategic bombing of the initial capacity to face the surrounding environment, This ability to face a dilemma. the one hand, was regarded as “major threat” to the Soviet Union between the two countries, no matter who the Chinese are unable to be effective strategic bombing on the other hand, the face of the other, and China There are conflicting neighbors and neighboring countries, or is not worth its strategic bombing of China, Vietnam, or is due to the protection of other countries can not make China a strategic bombing, such as South Korea and Japan, therefore, China’s strategic bombers group questioned whether there was not only necessary, at the same time, ordinary Chinese in addition to the conventional projection bombs, were also similar to the Soviet Union is not equipped with nuclear cruise missiles like the high-end, so until the Ukraine and China to establish high-tech military cooperation before China’s strategic bomber fleet can be regarded as Chinese forces fighting the system up and operational costs of the least efficient weapons.

Ukraine sophisticated missiles make up China’s “short board”

compared to Russia, Ukraine is a country more features in the history of Ukraine has never become a world power, so in the eyes of many Ukrainians, Russia is a superpower that can not be relieved emotion is a bit difficult to understand.

due to the construction of the former Soviet Union and its excellent condition with the former Soviet Union, Ukraine became a number of former Soviet republics in the military industry and heavy industry, second only to Russia countries Ukraine, especially in the cruise ship’s R & D capabilities, and even Russia can not match the (Soviet-era aircraft carrier are all in Ukraine Nikolayev Naval Shipyard). because the former is subject to the Soviet Union brought about serious economic problems, Ukraine today, the economic situation remains poor. Therefore, as a military power, Russia, Ukraine certainly hope that the former Soviet Union as early as by the export of weapons and equipment in exchange for a large number of foreign exchange.

but the problem is that Ukraine has a strong focus on cruise missiles, military industry and ship building. Despite its strong technology, but can not have the ability as Russia’s foreign large-scale technology to provide complete sets of equipment, so, Ukraine’s foreign hovering in the low-level long-term sales. Over time, as China from Russia through the initial set of weapons and equipment with the introduction of high-end equipment development capabilities, full set of equipment produced in China has gradually close to the highest level in Russia Therefore, Russia on the one hand want to continue to make money in the Chinese market, China’s growing fear the other hand, the level of equipment on their own in the international arms market position threat. While hesitant when Russia and Ukraine appear timely the Ukraine is much smaller than Russia and China to the international competition is more qualified to export to China of high-end, and it is most needed at this stage of Chinese equipment and technology in China in this regard the development of the strategic bomber fleet reflected particularly evident.

arms in exchange between the two countries, mostly in high-end equipment and technology, so its specific content is not well known, but Ukraine’s exports to China-based X-55 cruise missiles (the missile for the third generation of Soviet-era long-range strategic open space cruise range of 3,000 km, can carry 20-megaton nuclear warhead or a 410 kg conventional warhead, using the middle of the inertial guidance + + end of the GPS approach terrain matching guidance, precision attack high) is likely to be true. If true, then the relatively old Chinese strategic bomber fleet will not have the ability to penetrate the enemy defensive circle, you can fire at the enemy outside the scope of cruise missiles, enemy side against the key targets.

As mentioned earlier, with the precision-guided weapons, equipment and promotion, strategic bombing has become more flexible. This flexible platform not only in combat, but also reflected in the means of attack and hit the target and thanks to precision-guided weapons, strategic bombing has become increasingly lower cost, so for China, where previously they were not worth spending big money for Chinese strategic bombing targets, this time also made can be considered the same time, being turned by the ocean coastal defense naval and air force attack and defense, longer range cruise missiles, making a short flight of China’s strategic bombers have been greatly alleviate the disadvantages can be difficult to deter the previous high value targets (such as South Korea and Japan and many U.S. military bases in Asia) for effective deterrence, the strategic bomber fleet so as to enhance their real value.

as early as during the Cold War, there has been a “strategic bombers have value “of the debate, compared to those of US-Russian strategic bombers there are more practical needs of the country, strategic bombers, the practical significance of the Chinese seem smaller, but this is not true, as the Cold War the United States first” attack aircraft ” into a “multi-purpose aircraft carrier”, as strategic bombers will also form the task with the operations of the gradual change, as more heavy and varied tasks the same time, it changes form as the war to the enemy at the strategic level side as a deterrent tactics will also become more diverse, so, for China, the strategic bombing not only not weakened in the future also will be strengthened. perhaps H-6 bombers as a series of relatively old equipment will be decommissioned in the near future, but as the representative of the Ukrainian high-end cruise missile weapons technology input, but it will help China establish its own characteristics and meet their own needs strategic bombing capability.
