Chapter 769: The Great Development of Aircraft Carriers After the War

"Therefore, Yang Hui, you don't have to worry about the follow-up QC-160 orders, there are at least thirty construction orders for the entire 052 series in the plan, after all, the international situation has changed abruptly in recent years, and the international community after the Gulf War has not lost confidence in the aircraft carrier because the US Raider aircraft carrier was hit. Everyone saw more of the powerful attack capability of the aircraft carrier, and saw that the light anti-submarine aircraft carrier that Britain did not have much of a future, which led to the purchase orders of Brazil, Thailand, and even Saudi Arabia for the attack aircraft carrier of the light fleet, and in general, the international enthusiasm for the aircraft carrier was high! ”

I don't know what level this enthusiasm has reached, but Yang Hui probably still knows that the change in this plane is a bit too big, and the longer it takes to be reborn, the greater the change.

Now it is indeed a rare opportunity in this plane, Brazil, Thailand, Saudi Arabia are all planning to build fleet aircraft carriers, there is no reason for a big country like the Republic not to build an aircraft carrier, I remember that even the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and South Korea had the problem of planning to build amphibious assault ships in the 90s, then soon the armament situation in East Asia will also change! ”

The last time the Korean Navy developed was in the 90s, but it was only temporarily halted due to the financial crisis that followed, but in 2002, as soon as the economy recovered, it began to build a separate navy. The island amphibious assault ship, while Japan was not at all affected by the Asian financial crisis, and the construction of the Osumi-class amphibious landing ship began in 93.

Now the situation in this plane has changed, although these two countries have been restricted by the American father, but it can be imagined that with the light fleet aircraft carrier becoming popular in the world, the subtle development of the republic, and even considering that this can give some overseas orders to the military industrial giants of the United States, I am afraid that the naval development of these two countries will also change.

And then Vice Chairman Liu's words woke up the dreamer with a word, which completely confirmed Yang Hui's conjecture: "The current situation is that not only Brazil, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia are planning to purchase aircraft carriers, but even South Korea is planning to purchase or build a Bazin-type light fleet aircraft carrier, and they plan to cooperate with US defense contractors to develop their own light carrier/advanced training aircraft, and their intentions are very obvious!" ”

Yang Hui knew that this Goryeo stick was not the master who could be quiet, and now he had the opportunity to directly launch the fleet aircraft carrier, and even if South Korea purchased the light fleet aircraft carrier of Bazin Shipyard, the republic at that time would definitely not say anything about not exporting the power system, and at this time it was all about money! Coupled with the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the deepening of economic exchanges, there is no reason to ban sales!

Thinking of this, Yang Hui thought about it, since South Korea wants to purchase Bazin's light fleet aircraft carrier so much, it would be good for him, and even Yang Hui would not mind letting Embraer and Northrop work harder, and directly use carrier-based lightning to win the carrier-based aircraft order of the sticks, and must nip in the bud the idea of these sticks wanting to cultivate their own aviation industry, even if the lightning is introduced to South Korea, it doesn't matter.

The big deal is to make East Asia more lively, and only in this way can we ensure that the Republic can blatantly build aircraft carriers, and it will not be stared at too much by the United States, anyway, the whole world is developing aircraft carriers, can you manage it? Presumably, the US Navy will also like this feeling of turbulent international situation, otherwise how embarrassed is it to ask for military spending?

"South Korea and South Korea, they have a lot of ideas! Didn't this American dad stop this unfilial practice? ”

Everyone knows that South Korea and Japan were bred in captivity by the United States, but Yang Hui is definitely the first to say it in public, but fortunately, the people in the living room are all military bigwigs, and they will not have the slightest disgust with this statement, and they will think that Yang Hui is true temperament.

Commander Zhang couldn't help it for a long time: "Hey, this is really appropriate, but the question I have to answer to you is that about South Korea's aircraft carrier program, their American father did not stop it, and not only did not stop the development of South Korea's navy, but even the Japanese Self-Defense Force's Osumi-class amphibious assault ship plan did not interfere too much, and it is said that they also agreed to export AV-8B fighters to Japan, but it seems that the ground attack capability was canceled and the APG-65 fire control radar used by the F-18 was installed. It is said that the combat capability of the air is not bad. ”

I really never expected that the Yankees were so dark in their hearts, castrating the ground attack capability of the bomb truck AV-8B, and installing the APG-65 radar used by the F-18, it became a vertical take-off and landing fighter who fooled the book, this wave is really not a loss, and the Osumi class of Bi Jin's book has built a total of 6 ships, which requires the purchase of AV-8B+, I'm afraid there are still a lot, and McDonnell Douglas Although there is no Super Hornet project, it can still hold the AV-8B series to gnaw.

I have to say,Although AV-8B is just a quasi-fighter converted from a bomb truck,But it's still a huge improvement that I can't think of for the book.,Maybe the Yankees really "figured it out".,Anyway, who knows.

Knowing these changing situations, Yang Hui was full of emotion: "Then according to Commander Zhang's words, in the next few years, the situation we will face will be more complicated, the procurement of Mirage 2000-5 across the strait, the development of fleet aircraft carriers in South Korea and Thailand, and the development of amphibious landing ships and AV-8B+ in Japan." Neighboring countries and regions are vigorously developing national defense with the development of the economy, so is our naval aircraft carrier project also eyebrow-raising? The current shipborne version of the lightning is under intense development, and once necessary, we in AVIC Southwest can also upgrade the sideplate lightning to the latest version of fly-by-wire + turbofan 12. ”

Anyway, this is the situation, since the impact of this butterfly wing is getting bigger and bigger, then Yang Hui simply doesn't want to do so much, with the current technical level of AVIC Southwest, the big deal is to work hard, who is afraid of whom!

In the face of Yang Hui's attitude, I am afraid that no matter who it is, it will have a headache for a long time, but to be honest, the navy really looks down on this lightning carrier-based aircraft.

He shook his head vigorously, and looked dissatisfied: "Forget it!" Although the countries around us are vigorously developing aircraft carriers, after the demonstration of the relevant units of the military, it has come to the conclusion that what we need to build is a large aircraft carrier with a displacement of about 50,000 tons, which is probably enough for a big guy like Midway, and an aircraft carrier of more than 20,000 tons is not of much significance to us, because there is not much significance, and we do not need a small aircraft like Lightning. ”

Ignoring lightning in the slightest is the demeanor of a great power, even if it has never had an aircraft carrier before, it is fate.

Subsequently, Vice Chairman Liu also said two words: "That's right, after our argumentation, we think that the first aircraft carrier must have 50,000 tons, which is roughly equivalent to the displacement of Russia's Kuznetsov." We also inquired about the Varyag aircraft carrier in Ukraine at the beginning, but they had no plans to sell it, and after thinking about it, we also felt that the glide aircraft carrier did not make much sense, and now our technical route is to catapult the aircraft carrier, so we will give up. ”

Listen, even the last face of the republic's first aircraft carrier Lao Wa chose to give up, it seems that this time it is destined to make a big news.

But what Yang Hui can think of is that even if he didn't pull Lao Wa back, I'm afraid that the design and construction materials of Lao Wa still haven't been let go, and even Ulyanov should not have missed the net, Lao Wa is also an aircraft carrier of about 50,000 tons, except for the sliding bow of the ship, other places are still worth learning.
