At the weapons exhibition of the Future Science and Technology Group, the aircraft carrier battle group that attracted the most attention was naturally the aircraft carrier battle group quietly parked in the port of the Wangxijiao military base.

This aircraft carrier battle group on display is the second aircraft carrier battle group displayed by Future Technology Group.

The previous aircraft carrier battle group was also carrying out combat missions in Somali waters, and the aircraft carrier docked at the port is also equivalent to showing that there is not only one aircraft carrier battle group owned by the Future Science and Technology Group.

In this regard, the outside world has long been prepared to accept it in their hearts, who let the United States keep propaganda that the Future Technology Group actually has multiple aircraft carrier battle groups.

Not to mention that this time the Future Technology Group once again came up with an aircraft carrier battle group, even if it took out two more aircraft carrier battle groups, the outside world would not be too surprised.

After a series of performances of army equipment, the Navy's exhibition area was also opened to the public, which brought a large number of tourists and teams from various countries to this huge port.

Wangxijiao Military Port is a body of water surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a large number of submarine reefs that were originally all under the water have been blasted and removed, and a huge comprehensive port has been built in this way.

This port has ten berths for aircraft carrier battle groups alone, as well as a large number of berths for warships and submarines, and can even accommodate all American warships to park here.

At this time, although there are only a dozen or so warships of an aircraft carrier battle group, the huge ships are one after another, not small at all, but still give people a very magnificent and magnificent feeling.

In particular, the nuclear-powered supercarriers in the harbor are docked at berths and have a huge height, which is breathtaking.

Of course, there is also the price mark fluttering on the aircraft carrier, and the price of eight billion US dollars is really heartwarming and helpless.

Eight billion dollars can be taken out by many countries in the world, but few countries can afford the use of aircraft carriers, let alone such a huge nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the annual maintenance cost alone is worth the annual military expenditure of most military powers.

Aircraft carriers are a good thing, this is naturally true, but there are too few countries that can afford to use them.

In fact, let alone having an aircraft carrier, for many delegations of countries on the scene, there are not many opportunities to observe aircraft carriers at such a close range, and the opportunity to board an aircraft carrier of this level is even rarer.

Before the Future Technology Group, the only country that had such aircraft carriers was the United States, and now supercarriers are not unique to the Americans, but there are not so many of them everywhere in the world.

Among the delegations, the Russian delegation's gaze at the aircraft carrier was the hottest. Hot.

Among these delegations, there are countries that have the economy and the ability to use aircraft carriers, and Russia is the guard.

In the past, the Soviet Union, in the early days of the Cold War, did not attach importance to the development of aircraft carriers, and when the Soviet Union wanted to develop aircraft carriers, and was about to produce great results, the Soviet Union collapsed.

Russia has inherited a large amount of industry and equipment from the Soviet Union, but it does not have the industry and ability of the grassroots Soviet Union to build large surface ships, and the loss of experts and technology in this field is also very serious.

Under the conditions of modernization, Russia only relies on an aircraft carrier inherited from the Soviet era, which is obviously far from being able to confront NATO, so Russia's idea of developing its own new aircraft carrier and building a new era of Russian surface fleet has long been known.

In the past few years, the Russian side has also had many ideas for building aircraft carriers, from amphibious ships with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, to medium-sized aircraft carriers with a displacement of 30,000 or 40,000 tons, and now Russia's latest 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

In particular, Russia's recently built new shipyard has a dry dock capable of building an 110,000-ton supercarrier, which also represents Russia's gradual conditions in terms of aircraft carrier construction hardware.

The outside world has also said that Russia is about to start Russia's aircraft carrier dream.

The newly announced aircraft carrier Storm is also the point of international attention, this nuclear-powered aircraft carrier designed by the Russians themselves, using two nuclear power reactors, displacement of 100,000 tons, plans to carry nearly 100 carrier-based aircraft, similar to the British aircraft carrier's two-ship island design, with four take-off points, two of which are glide jump take-offs, and two are electromagnetic catapult take-offs.

The design of this aircraft carrier is quite similar to the characteristics of the Soviet Union's unfinished aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk, and it is also considered that Russia inherited the design of the Soviet Union's last aircraft carrier dream.

But whether the Russians will be able to build it is a big question mark.

First of all, the supporting industry, the aircraft carrier is not only a shipyard, and then it is said that it can be built if you want to, such a large project as an aircraft carrier, and it is extremely complex, and the Russians themselves do not have the experience of building such a huge surface ship, which is a great test of the supporting strength of Russia's overall industry.

Even if Russia has the ability and determination to build such an aircraft carrier, it will take at least several years, and the time from launching to service and then to forming combat effectiveness will not be too short.

In between, the cost of construction, as well as the support of industry and economy, are also very crucial.

Therefore, for Russia, the construction of such an aircraft carrier, although necessary, is also a huge test for the domestic industry and economy.

The reason why Russia has such a grand naval construction plan is inseparable from the development of the navies of various countries in the world, and in the early years, Russia did not have the ability to develop aircraft carriers, and also focused on the development of submarines.

However, in recent years, with the rapid development of the global navy, the United States plans to build ten more Ford-class aircraft carriers, and if the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in service in the United States are added, Russia is deeply under great pressure.

Therefore, for Russia, aircraft carriers are no longer a question of whether they want or not, if they do, they must be built.

At this moment, the Russian delegation, seeing the supercarrier in front of it and the price of the $8 billion, was naturally quite moved in their hearts.

For Russia, once the aircraft carrier is purchased, it can not only be used as a reference for Russia's domestic aircraft carrier, but also allow Russia to have an aircraft carrier immediately, and it does not need to wait for ten years later, which will be beneficial to Russia in the face of the aggressive United States in the future.

The main thing is that eight billion dollars is a little cheaper for Russia than the expected cost of the construction of its own domestic aircraft carrier Storm.

Comparing the actual use and price, Russia has every reason to buy such an aircraft carrier, not to mention, Russia does not need to spend money on supporting carrier-based aircraft.
