Text 942 China needs a truly strategic carpet bomber

Next chapter

"What we need is a strategic bomber with a large bomb load, a long range, and the ability to carpet bomb the enemy, not a Tu-22. Although this kind of bomber is also a strategic bomber, it can have a combat radius of more than 3,000 kilometers in the high-altitude field, and with the range of cruise missiles, the combat radius can even exceed 4,000 kilometers or more, but this kind of bomber is not suitable for us at all, and it is enough to equip a part of it to threaten the aircraft carrier fleet......" Liu Yijiu knew that it was very difficult to explain.

But he still explained.

He wants the Tu-22M for this purpose, in order to use this kind of strategic bomber that can penetrate the pitch after the collapse of the Soviet Union to raise the US imperialism, if your aircraft carrier dares to run to our doorstep to show off its might, we can use your aircraft carrier as a target!

Instead of equipping the Republic Air Force with a bomber fleet as large as that of the USSR.

The Tu-22M was very useful for the Soviet Union, as its long combat radius allowed the strategic bomber to attack all European countries except Portugal and Norway, and if refueled in the air, it could also take off from Soviet bases in the Arctic, attack targets on the continental United States, and then fly back to domestic bases.

This strategic bomber is also the fastest flying bomber in the world at present.

The threat to the US aircraft carrier fleet is the greatest.

"We should first solve the problem of whether there is or not, and then talk about improving and designing more powerful fighters......" Xia Fei's attitude represents the attitude of many leaders of the republic.

Especially the top echelons of the military, for them, these problems should be solved first.

There is and there is not, these are two different things, and only by equipping troops can the enemy be terrified.

Not even equipped with equipment, no matter how powerful the weapons and equipment are, for the enemy, it is not terrible enough.

"The Ten Cross Backfire that we got from the USSR is the problem of what we have and what we have, and for our country. There are three major fleets, the North Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. Three planes are arranged in each direction of the fleet, after all, it is impossible for our enemy to use several aircraft carrier battle groups to come to our territorial waters......" Liu Yijiu's idea was very simple. "We are thinking about how we can get the maximum deterrence at the cheapest cost, and our air force, which does not have enough money. There are so many areas to study! ”

Liu Yijiu really wanted to tell these technicians and Xia Fei and others that after entering the 21st century, the Republic purchased back the Varyag aircraft carrier from Ukraine to dismantle the weapons system and only leave the shell, and after more than ten years to get this aircraft carrier done, so that this aircraft carrier can really wield its strength, India, which has always been at odds with China, purchased three Tu-22M3 from Lao Maozi, and these three strategic bombers used to threaten the aircraft carrier are to deal with China's Varyag.

Again, this strategy of Ah San has also paid off.

Lao Maozi's economy is sluggish. Just counting on selling more weapons and equipment, they have sealed a huge number of backfire bombers in China, M2 over 17O, M3 over 2oo, these things are a very huge pressure for the old Maozi who has to continue to upgrade at the same time in the economic recession.

Even, Lao Maozi wanted to sell it to the republic, even the production line, but in the end, the republic refused.

Because. The republic does not need backfire of the Tu-22M series.

"Actually, the Tu-22M is the product of the same era as the six masters we use, and the imitation model of the six masters, that is, the Soviet Tu-16 bomber. By now, large-scale decommissioning has begun, and if we continue to copy the Tu-22 Backfire, then the two bombers in our country are backward......"

Liu Yijiu's tone was full of helplessness.

There are options. He would not have done such a thing, and the military top of the republic would not have such an idea.

"Why did the USSR decommission the Tu-16 and not the Tu-22? Doesn't this mean that this bomber is more advanced than the Tu-16? The M series has not only been redesigned, but also improved...... "Xia Fei disagrees with Liu Yijiu's statement.

The Tu-22 Backfire has been a threat to the Republic for so many years, and there is an opportunity to equip this strategic bomber on a large scale, which is not easy to defend and is much more advanced than the most advanced sixth master in China, how could it be given up like this?

"Although the maximum bomb load of the Tu-22M series can reach 24 tons, it is impossible to carry out sound penetration defense at such a bomb load! When the sound penetration defense was carried out, the maximum bomb load was only 12 tons, and our H-6 had a bomb load of 9 tons......"

The biggest highlight of Backfire is the ability to penetrate the sound. `

The bomb load is really not large enough.

"The reason why the Soviet Union did not decommission the Tu-22 Backfire series and continued to improve it is not because this bomber is advanced enough, first, they need to threaten the huge aircraft carrier fleet of the United States; Second, this strategic bomber is more aggressive than the Tu-16, especially the variable sweep wing ......"

The main reason why the Tu-22M series was not retired in the Soviet Union and Russia as early as the Tu-16 is the sound penetration capability of this bomber.

The United States has always been the country with the largest aircraft carrier fleet in the world, but they have no way to enter the waters around the Soviet Union at all, because of this kind of war that is not easy to defend.

"In that case, if you do this, research out the technology, and don't use it, isn't it a waste? Why don't you just use this fighter and study a new one? Long Yaohua also frowned and said.

It costs a lot of money to develop the technology, and eventually the technology is shelved.

It's a complete waste.

Liu Yijiu shook his head, "How many years has the sixth master been studying?" How many technical results have been achieved? ”

Whether it was Long Yaohua or Xia Fei, when they heard this, they lowered their heads gloomily.

It's not that the aviation people of the republic don't work hard, it's that the republic didn't have a foundation before!

The study of aircraft also began after the establishment of the republic after the introduction of a lot of technology from the Soviet Union.

"The progress of the sixth master's research is not much, not because of anything else, but because our technology accumulation is not enough! Although the Tu-16 and Tu-22 are products of the same era, there is not much similarity between the two bombers, and only with more technology accumulation can we make more progress in technological breakthroughs. This is true of the aviation industry, the design and manufacture of various equipment of the 6th Army and the Navy! If nothing else, it is just our current new generation of fighters, which is the most obvious example, because while we are flying our own fighters, we are also studying the technology of advanced fighters of the United States and the Soviet Union, and finally digest their technology, combine it, and have our own technology......"

Merely imitating, or developing one's own industrial system according to a country's scientific and technological system, will make the imitation country forever chase other people's standards.

How to develop the next step, without its own technical system, it is not clear at all.

Even if you have your own system, it's not easy to catch up.

The Soviet Union and the United States are the most obvious examples, except for some crazy designs, most of the conventional military equipment, the Soviets are catching up with the Americans, catching up, and falling behind. In order to catch up, it is possible to invest more in less time.

So, the cost of the USSR was much higher than that of the United States.

Having a large economic base that can support high expenditures is not a problem.

The problem is that the republic now spends less on its military every year.

Before the reform and opening up, the vast majority of the republic's fiscal revenue was used to develop military industry and related science and technology, and after the reform and opening up, most of the fiscal revenue was used for economic infrastructure.

Although the funds of the Ninth Academy are sufficient, as more and more high-tech projects are launched, the expenditure will become more and more huge, and it is expected to get money from the military?

It's not very likely.

Even if it is researched, it will not be possible to make a high profit like selling weapons and equipment to foreign countries.

The Longwei tank is the most obvious example, sold to foreign countries, priced at more than 1ooo million soft sister coins, and the republican side purchased, only 65o yuan, and it has to include all kinds of supporting missiles!

"Whatever you want! We're going to see what you're going to come up with. In the face of Liu Yijiu's remarks, Long Yaohua and Xia Fei had no way to argue with him anymore.

It is not at all possible to equip the Tu-22M on a large scale, at least not for now.

Liu Yijiu will not agree, and besides, the technology will not even be studied completely.

A fighter like the imitation of the F-14 is simply not possible.

Liu Yijiu's idea of adopting a defensive strategy in national defense is most in line with the country's national defense strategy.

"Long, don't worry, sooner or later, we will have strategic bombers that are no worse than the Soviet Tu-95 and Tu-16O!" Liu Yijiu confidently assured.

The military industry of the republic will continue to develop along with the rapid improvement of the overall industrial level.

"How's the missile thing?" Xia Fei saw that he could no longer continue the discussion on the battle bomber, so he directly asked Liu Yijiu what they were most concerned about.

Imitation of the F-14, lacking medium-range air-to-air missiles.

"The technical data has been sent to the Ninth Academy, and some technical experts from the Ministry of Aerospace Industry have cooperated with us, and they should be able to get these out in a very short time, even if they can't, this time they brought back 2O R-77 missiles of finished products, and they should not be a problem to use in the test flight of fighters loaded with weapon systems." Liu Yijiu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no longer a requirement for a copy of the Tu-22M bomber, it is a good thing.
