The Navy's ambitions have had a very significant impact on the ongoing ceasefire negotiations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In a certain sense, it is precisely these actions of this administration that have caused the mainland, as a mediator, to change its strategy and get closer and closer to Russia.

Although everyone knew at the time that the company would expand its armaments after the defeat of the war, and the way in which it lost the war would make it irretrievably embark on the road of militarization, and the development of nuclear weapons would become a natural choice for the company, in fact, it was still difficult for other countries to accept it.

Not to mention the mainland, even South Korea cannot accept it.

Soon after the Navy put forward a development program for the next 10 years, the South Korean president made it clear that if the Navy embarked on the path of nuclearization, South Korea would have to consider taking-for-tat measures and adopting more forceful measures to protect South Korea's fundamental interests.

If South Korea is involved, the United States will naturally not be able to sit still.

As for Russia, it is even more impossible to turn a blind eye to it, because the issue of the four northern islands is still unresolved, and even if the victory that has already been achieved can bring peace and stability to Russia for a period of time, who can guarantee that in a few decades, when Ben becomes strong again, will it again trouble Russia?

It can be said that at that time the negotiations were already affected, and it was even possible to talk about it.

It was not until Kojiro Ikawa returned to Tokyo and personally said that he would not break the relevant restrictions of the "three non-nuclear principles" in the pacifist constitution that Russia agreed to continue negotiations.

However, the problem has not been solved.

Although during the negotiations, the arrogance of the Navy was no longer so arrogant, and no one mentioned the construction of nuclear submarines, the authorities did not give up their efforts in this regard.

Less than a month after Russia signed a cease-fire agreement, the parliament passed a constitutional amendment.

It can be said that under the circumstances at that time, no one could stop the development of nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Comparatively speaking, during the negotiations, the air force moved more.

Although in this conflict, the performance of the air force was much better than that of the navy, and it had always held air supremacy on the battlefield and defeated the Russian air force to the ground, and most of the losses came from ground attack and escort operations, and very few fighters were shot down by the Russian army in air battles, but the problems exposed by the air force were still very prominent, and the most obvious of them was the serious lack of strike capability.

The brutal war proved that air supremacy is important, and it is even more important to make full use of air supremacy.

Although during the entire conflict, the Russian Air Force used the advanced F-22J and a large number of support aircraft to control the absolute air supremacy of the battlefield and let the Russian Air Force do nothing, but in the absence of suitable ground attack aircraft and suitable ground strike ammunition, the Air Force was unable to play a greater role.

Imagine if the Air Force had attack aircraft such as the F-15E and Hurricane IDS, and had specialized ground attack munitions such as JDAM, the outcome of the war would have been different. To put it bluntly, as long as the Russian Air Force can make full use of its air supremacy, the Russian Navy's "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier battle group and the Northern Fleet's attack nuclear submarines will land on the four northern islands and even take down the four northern islands before they reach the Pacific Ocean. When the time comes, the Chinese military can completely transfer the three fleets and send more anti-submarine patrol planes to cover the life routes, and even have the ability to organize a powerful enough strike force to deal with the Russian Navy's aircraft carrier battle group. At this point, Russia is very likely to take the initiative to sue for peace before launching a strategic blockade of Japan.

As a result of this, the Air Force has put forward a development program that emphasizes strike capability.

According to the development plan put forward by the Chinese People's Liberation Army and Air Force, in addition to continuing to purchase more than 100 F-22Js to enrich the air supremacy fighter force, it will also vigorously purchase F-35s, and will also develop or purchase another multi-role fighter with powerful attack capability in Reading Power.

The problem is that it's not easy to achieve this goal.

From a practical point of view, the best choice for the Air Force is the F-35A, which has already been mass-produced, rather than the F-35B, which was developed for the Marine Corps, because this fighter has reduced the internal bomb bay in order to install a lift fan, so that it can only carry up to two 500-pound guided bombs when performing attack missions, and cannot carry large ammunition. What's more, the internal fuel tanks of the F-35B are also on the small side, and with a full load of ammunition, the combat radius is only eight hundred kilometers, which is two hundred kilometers shorter than the F-35A. A country like this must have higher requirements for the combat radius of multi-role fighters.

Obviously, the F-35B fighters purchased by Yuben are not suitable for the Yuben Air Force.

Buying a production license for the F-35A again will certainly cost a lot of money, and you will have to buy a new production line, or modify an existing one, which is a huge investment.

In addition to the F-35A, Ben can also choose from the F-15E, F/A-18E/F, and Rafale.

Relatively speaking, the F-15E is too old, even if it is modernized, it is difficult to adapt to future wars, and South Korea is already equipped with this kind of fighter, if the F-15E is purchased again, it will definitely be difficult to use against South Korea. Although the F/A-18E/F is relatively new and has a more prominent surname in all aspects, as a standard carrier-based fighter, even the US military is considering replacing it with a more advanced fighter, and it is even less likely to be considered. As for the "Rafale," for the time being, we will not say whether France will export it or at what price, but if it is introduced, it will have to re-establish a set of logistical support systems that suit the legal system, resulting in high costs for the entire equipment and maintenance.

Self-developed, the difficulty can be imagined.

Although the aviation enterprises of this country have been making efforts in this regard and have put forward some very good ideas, it is certainly very difficult for a country that basically has no similar experience to develop a fighter with a prominent surname from such a high starting point.

After choosing, the Air Force finally set its sights on the F-35A.

During the negotiations, the authorities contacted the United States several times, hoping to introduce a production license for the F-35A at a relatively low price and improve the production lines of the F-35B and F-35C.

In addition, the Air Force has also set its sights on the existing F-22J.

After learning that the United States was improving the F-22A to meet the operational needs of the Air Force and had developed a heavy multirole fighter to replace the F-15E in an all-round way, the authorities immediately expressed their stance that they could participate in the joint research and development, and promised to provide sufficient funds for the development.

Leaving aside for the time being whether the United States will accede to Ben's request, simply acquiring multi-role fighters will still not solve the problem.

The most conspicuous problem for the Air Force is the lack of suitable attack ammunition.

In the bombing of the four northern islands, the Air Force lost nearly half of its F-2s, and more than half of the total losses during the entire conflict. In the final analysis, it is the lack of suitable ammunition that makes the military fighters have to hang unguided bombs and laser-guided bombs with a range of only a few kilometers, and risk the threat of the Russian ground air defense system to drop bombs at a very close distance and at a relatively low altitude.

If the army had the right ammunition at that time, it would definitely have a chance to hit the four northern islands.

Affected by this, the Air Force is also making efforts to obtain ground-attack ammunition while hyping up the purchase of new multi-role fighters.

In contrast, the problem is much simpler.

In addition to purchasing from abroad, the company has sufficient capability to develop advanced ground-attack munitions and even air-launched cruise missiles in a short period of time.

In fact, this is exactly what Ben is doing.

In any case, ammunition is a consumable material, and the usual reserves are not too large, but the consumption in war is very staggering. Not to mention ground-attack ammunition, even anti-aircraft ammunition, the consumption is very large. For example, when purchasing the F-22J, more than half of the 1,200 AIM-120D and 600 AIM-9X purchased from the United States were consumed, forcing the company to urgently order a batch after the conflict ended.

If Ben is preparing for the next war, he will have to build a sufficiently powerful ammunition production system.

Compared with the Air Force, the future planning of the Army is much simpler.

In fact, in this conflict, the army has not been given a chance to come to power at all. Although after the outbreak of the conflict, the army immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and then some combat units of the Ninth Division deployed in Hokkaido boarded landing ships and sailed for the waters of the four northern islands, until the end of the conflict, the army remained on the landing ships honestly and did not have the opportunity to engage the Russian army.

Because they did not participate in the war, the problems of the army were not exposed.

There is only one point that has attracted the attention of the authorities, that is, the lack of an amphibious force capable of accompanying the fleet, that is, the absence of marines.

When it comes to full-time defense, it is said that there is no need to attack the Marines with the surname.

It is only in external expansion that the Marine Corps can play a role.

On this issue, the attitude of the authorities is very cautious. It can be said that the impact of the creation of the Marine Corps is not much worse than the development of attack nuclear submarines. During the negotiations, the authorities did not make a decision and waited until a ceasefire agreement was signed with Russia before putting the establishment of the Marine Corps on the agenda.

It can be seen that the book is not only making up for the losses caused by the conflict, but is also vigorously expanding its armaments.

Although before the end of the conflict, many countries that were concerned about the country realized that no matter whether the conflict was won or lost, the country that was neighboring to the country was still deeply affected.

The smoke of the conflict over the four northern islands has lifted, but the clouds of the next war have risen.
