Second, the arms of the Republic and the United States are all in place, and many of the advanced weapons that were used to be used by customers and professional reporters have also appeared in front of the public, so on the day the air show was opened to the public, the number of visitors exceeded 10,000, which was the largest in the history. 【】

As mentioned earlier, the three types of aerospace fighters that have not yet been finalized are the ones that have attracted the most attention.

The two types of aerospace fighters driven by the Republic of China Heavy Group and the AVIC Group were unveiled publicly, and although both fighters only had models and did not have any supporting instructions, they still attracted almost all tourists.

On the same day, the Republic Aviation Pavilion received about 10,000 people? The counterpart is the American Pavilion on the opposite side. Although the main purpose of the airshow organizers to set up the Republic Pavilion with the United States Pavilion is for the convenience of tourists, after all, those who are willing to pay for the exhibition will almost always go to the Republic Pavilion and the American Pavilion, but in the eyes of many, this is a deliberate news creation by the organizers, because it is reminiscent of the relationship between the Republic and the United States. It is precisely because of this that the degree of attention of the Budao is no worse than that of the two aerospace fighters of the Republic, because Boeing has come up with design indicators and some performance parameters, so in the eyes of many reporters, the Dao is more valuable for reporting.

Interestingly, when reporters report on non-knives, they will mention two types of aerospace fighters on display in the Republic.

It can be said that if Boeing does not exaggerate the performance indicators and can fully meet the indicators, then the knife or other types of fighters that are fired on this basis will be the first real aerospace fighter in the United States.

According to the data released by Boeing, the maximum flight altitude is Tang kilometers. Although it does not have the ability to enter orbit autonomously, it needs to be plugged into orbit through an external thruster. Or it can be launched by a booster rocket to reach the first cosmic degree and enter low-earth orbit, but after being equipped with ammunition capable of intercepting targets in low-earth orbit and strategic ballistic missiles, it is not capable of attacking all targets in outer space within the combat range. What's more, the knife adopts the principle of wave-riding flight, that is, making a jump flight at the top of the atmosphere, thereby increasing the flight degree to more than Mach 2o, and can attack all air and ground targets within a range of thousands of kilometers at this degree?

Of course, the focus is on the principle of flying with waves.

In fact, this principle of flight is not complicated. Already during the Second World War, German scientists conceived the idea of propelling manned aircraft with rocket engines equipped on missiles to ride the principle of flight on waves, crossing the Atlantic Ocean and dropping atomic bombs on major cities on the east coast of the United States. To put it more intuitively, the principle is like using stones to drift in water, i.e. using the surface tension between media of different densities.

The principle is simple, but the implementation is not simple?

It can be said that in the middle of the introduction century, the principle of flying by waves was the only feasible basic flight principle that the aerospace fighter could turn into reality. If, like an airplane, it flies entirely on its own power, then the combat range of the aerospace fighter will be very limited, after all, it takes a lot of energy to travel back and forth in the atmosphere, and it is impossible for any kind of aerospace fighter to carry enough fuel or batteries.

In fact, the aerospace fighter program of the Zhongzhong Group also uses the principle of wave-riding flight.

Before the opening of the air show, some European scientists and engineers who understand this technology pointed out that the aerospace fighter project of the Zhongzhong Group is very likely to be a project being exhibited by the Republic of China Space Army, and it is very likely to be the first air and space fighter project of the Republic of China Space Army. The reason is the same, that is, because the scheme of Zhongzhong Group adopts a relatively simple and feasible flight principle, and the requirements for the power system are not high.

The problem is that in the eyes of some people who really know the industry, more attention should be paid to the plan of the AVIC Group.

Before the air show opened, almost no one could associate the model sent by AVIC with the aerospace fighter. Judging only from the appearance, the AVIC Aerospace Fighter is more like the Soyuz spacecraft that Russia used in large quantities at the end of the century and the beginning of the first century, or like a nuclear warhead that has been magnified many times, and has nothing to do with the "aircraft" in the sense of play, so it cannot be associated with the aircraft?

In fact, this is the most realistic design.

You must know that although the name of the aerospace fighter is "aerospace and space." That is, it has an aerospace vehicle that flies inside and outside the atmosphere, but in the actual requirements, the aerospace fighter should be called a "space fighter." That is, its main place of operation is in space outside the atmosphere, not inside the atmosphere. As we all know, outer space is a vacuum, and no aerodynamic equipment can play a role, so there is no need to install equipment such as wings, tails, and plates. If the aerodynamic parts such as the wings and tail of an aircraft are removed, only the fuselage, which is also a cylindrical warhead, remains.

Many people believe that AVIC has opened an aerospace fighter in the true sense of the word by virtue of its strong technical reserves. The new address of this site has been changed to: Just a mouthful of milk... ８。 Lion, please log in!

Of course, if AVIC's plan wants to become a reality, the key is the power system.

Because AVIC Group did not provide much data, the outside world can only speculate.

Since it is speculation, there are various theories?

According to the propaganda of the news media of the republic, the AVIC Aerospace Fighter program is actually a pilot project with the authorities of the republic. In particular, the aerospace fighter project, which has received the support of the space army, has basically nothing to do with it, and the first thing is that the aerospace fighter Zongcheng technology reserve is small in the future. The strength of the AVIC Group is not enough, and there are still many technical problems that have not been solved, so it is unlikely that the work of the aerospace fighter will be completed in the short term, and it will not pose a threat to other countries.

In contrast to the news media of the Republic, the US news media firmly believe that the AVIC Aerospace Fighter Program is an Aerospace Fighter Program supported by the Aerospace Forces of the Republic. In other words, the Republic has already made major breakthroughs in several extremely critical areas, and it is quite possible that in the next few years it will develop an aerospace fighter with very advanced performance and absolute leadership and overwhelming superiority. Of course, the reason why the American news media say this is simple, that is, to get the US authorities to invest more money in the aerospace fighter project?

Comparatively speaking, Al Jazeera's reviews are more objective.

At that time, Al Jazeera hired several technical experts to analyze the specifics of the three aerospace fighters at the Farnborough air show, including one from Shanghai Aircraft Corporation. According to the expert, the US Boeing Company's non-knife and Zhongzhong Group's aerospace fighter projects are more likely to be realized, and both the United States and the Republic have made breakthroughs in relevant important fields, so they will be able to complete the design and start work in the next few years, at most, within 10 years, and produce the world's first aerospace fighter with actual combat deployment capabilities. The question is. The most promising project is definitely AVIC's aerospace fighter project, and if the project wants to become a reality, in addition to technical difficulties, it must also make breakthroughs in the corresponding infrastructure construction.

According to the expert's analysis, the AVIC Group's aerospace fighter project basically does not consider flying in the atmosphere and performing combat missions, but focuses on outer space, so it is not equipped with aerodynamic components, but completely relies on course motivation. Because the aerospace fighter is a tactical weapon platform, rather than a strategic platform with long-term outer space deployment and activity capabilities, in order to fully wield the combat capability of the aerospace fighter, it is necessary to deploy a space station in outer space, at least in low-earth orbit, which is commonly known as the "space carrier". Obviously, not to mention the technical problems, the investment alone is enough to discourage any country.

Obviously, in the short term, AVIC's plan is unlikely to be implemented.

In the opinion of the expert, at least before the talk of the year. AVIC's aerospace fighter project does not have application, at least not large-scale combat application.

Of course, some American and European news outlets do not take the expert's words seriously.

In any case, the superiority of the republic in the field of military aerospace is very obvious. You have to know the degree of thug type, and in both respects, the republic has a unique advantage. More importantly, it is not clear to the American and European authorities how much advantage the republic has in these areas of technology based on ambient conductivity. In other words, even if the republic makes a breakthrough in this area, the United States and Europe do not know. In this way, it is impossible to judge the extent to which the republic's aerospace fighters have been developed. You know, before that, the United States and Europe suffered losses. Before the war in India. Neither the United States nor Europe believe that the Republic has made a major breakthrough in magnetic induction screw thrusters, and therefore do not believe that the Republic has the most powerful army aviation in the world, so they naturally think that it is impossible for the Republic of China to make a breakthrough leap in the combat effectiveness of the Army. As a result, the Republic Army's vertical take-off and landing transport planes and low-altitude attack planes not only played their due role, but also changed the face of the war and turned the Army into a real attack force.

The so-called suffer a loss, grow a wisdom, with the previous teaching. The United States, naturally, does not believe the propaganda of the republic.

Of course, the US authorities also have to consider another and possibility, that is, whether the republic also has a pound, "Star Wars." Ji Ge? The new address of this site has been changed to: Just a mouthful of milk... ８。 Lion, please log in!

At the beginning of the knife century, the Red Empire collapsed, and President Reagan engaged in "Star Wars." Ji Zai has made a lot of contributions.

After Reagan took office in the year of the thug, he announced the construction plan of the US strategic defense system, which is the so-called "Star Wars" program. At the time, it seemed. It's almost a whimsical calculation. You must know that many of the advanced weapons mentioned in the plan, as well as the advanced technologies involved in these advanced weapons, have not reached the level of mature application even in the middle of the century. Taking particle beam weapons as an example, it was not until the Yan years that the scientists of the Republic initially solved the problem of neutral ion adding efficiency, making particle beam weapons a big step forward in practical use. Even so, according to the most optimistic estimates, particle beam weapons will not be deployed until about a calendar year. In the "Star Wars" program, the United States intends to establish a space-based particle beam weapon interception system.

As you can imagine, this is a pound. A completely unrealistic plan, and a plan that is not feasible at all. The problem is that it was this plan that put the Soviet Union, at its peak in the era of Bonezhrev, to the worst test, and finally disintegrated overnight because the economic exhibition was completely out of balance. Excluding political factors, the main reason for the former Soviet Union was that the industrial system, which was dominated by heavy industry and military industry, completely ignored the status of light industry and agriculture, and made the peasants pay too great a price. The main reason why the Soviet Union embarked on this road of no return was that it was competing with the second in armaments, and it wanted to save all areas in all fields, regardless of its actual capabilities

The United States today is very similar to the Soviet Union back then.

In the struggle against the republic, an arms race is inevitable. From the national interests of the United States. The day when the United States' strength, including military technology, was fully surpassed by the Republic was the day when the United States was reduced to a second-rate country, and it was also the anniversary of the end of the Cold War between China and the United States. Although the main victims of losing the Cold War and becoming a second-rate country are the interest groups of the United States, especially those composed of enterprises in the fields of finance, energy, resources, and arms, there are absolutely very few citizens in American society who can really accept such changes.

You know, after 100 years of global domination, there are many vices in American culture?

Before the Great Depression, the United States used its unique financial hegemony to plunder the world's resources by all means, leaving 300 million Americans living in heaven and billions of people in Africa, Latin America, and Asia living in hell. At that time, almost all Americans had developed the habit of spending tomorrow's money, or borrowing money to spend. Because time is irreversible and cannot be crossed, the former consumption of the United States is actually the consumption obtained by borrowing from other countries, and the United States has turned all the IOUs into a blank slate through the financial hegemony in its hands. In other words, the resources that the United States occupies and consumes are actually the resources that other countries lose.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

In a sense, hawkish politicians can gain power in both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and even in the Democratic New Party, the hawks dominate because American voters cannot accept the changes since the beginning of the year, and cannot accept the reality of America's gradual decline?

In this way, the United States will not be able to fall, and it will have to Vietnam in the arms race.

The problem is that American politicians are not stupid and know perfectly well that they were able to defeat the USSR back then. Relying on the scientific and technological strength far beyond the Soviet Union?

In competition with the republics, the scientific and technological superiority of the United States is not obvious, or even non-existent.

As a result of this, the US authorities have behaved very sensibly, or rather, with great restraint in the arms race. Taking the building of the Space Force as an example, it is not enough to prove that the United States does not set an unattainable goal by setting a lofty goal, but is realistic and has set a goal that can be achieved in a short period of time and has the capability of practical application, and has concentrated its efforts to achieve this goal and fundamentally enhance the combat capability of the Space Force.

In this way, after the Republic is challenged, the US authorities will have to consider whether to fight or not.

Of course, the US authorities have no choice.

To be precise, the initiative is not in the hands of the United States.

Originally, President Reagan was able to do a "Star Wars." The plan for the Soviet Union to waste valuable national power on technologies that did not produce anything was because the United States knew that these inputs would not produce anything, so there was no large-scale investment. According to some later declassified information, until the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States spent less than 1 percent of the funds spent on the "Star Wars" program in the former Soviet Union for similar projects. More importantly, Democratic President Clinton developed the NMD system during the administration of Bush.

The United States does not know whether the Republic is bluffing or secretly forced.

If you don't even understand what your opponent is doing, how can you defeat your opponent?

Take the position of the U.S. government. This is indeed a dilemma. If the investment is huge, and in the end it turns out to be a bamboo basket, the loss will definitely not only be money, but the US economy, and the social system supported by the economy, and then it will not be as simple as whether the United States will be reduced to a second-rate country, but whether the United States will fall apart and become more than a dozen or even dozens of weak and small countries like the former Soviet Union. If nothing is done, and it turns out that the republic has indeed made a major breakthrough in the relevant field, then when the republic reaches a certain level of superiority in military technology, that is, after being able to ensure absolute strategic security, it will defeat the United States in a war, and then the fate of the United States will also be very tragic.

In this dilemma, the most rational choice is to steady the pace and not rush it.

In fact, this is precisely the policy adopted by the US authorities.

According to information obtained by the Military Intelligence Agency, before the Feanborough air show ended, US intelligence agencies launched an operation in the hope of finding out the specific situation of the Republic's aerospace fighters. According to some information that was later declassified, at the end of the year, Hoe rebelled against a key technician of the AVIC Group. Interestingly, after the Uranium intelligence network was cracked by the National Security Bureau, this key technician mysteriously disappeared, and some people believe that the four strategies were not technical personnel, but the intelligence and security supervisors arranged by the Military Intelligence Bureau within the AVIC Group, which is often referred to as security spies. If this is the case, what the four exchanged for a complete spy network is nothing more than some worthless false information.

In any case, by the end of the year, as the republic challenged the United States, the international situation was no longer calm?
