Vigilance, Japanese militarism has taken a substantial step

Mondo International Updated on 2024-01-19

The enemy covets and endures, and the heart of death does not die. The great man's discourse is still deafening to this day. In modern times, the Chinese nation has suffered from the oppression and invasion of many foreign powers, but when it comes to who has done the most harm to us, there is no doubt that Japan has done the most harm. Japan had already begun to invade China during the First Sino-Japanese War, and created the appalling Lushun Da**, in which at least 20,000 people were killed. Since then, we have found that this neighbor, which we have been helping since the Tang Dynasty, has not only taken revenge, but also that unlike other powers, who are only exploiting China, Japan is trying to destroy us. After the end of World War II, Japan still refused to admit its guilt in dealing with the issue of aggression against China; successive Japanese prime ministers visited the Yasukuni Shrine many times, constantly strengthened the building of military strength, and even conducted joint exercises and Xi with the US military on many occasions, posing a great threat to China's geopolitical security.

Almost all successive Japanese prime ministers have visited the Yasukuni Shrine and have no repentance for Japan's war crimes of aggression against China in World War II Japan's military threat capability is bound to and controlled by the United States. However, in recent years, in order to contain China's rise, the United States has been unsettling Japan, a defeated country in World War II that should not have been able to attack. According to the latest ** released by Japanese social **, Japan's Kaga *** aircraft carrier has completed modernization, from a so-called *** destroyer, transformed into an aircraft carrier in the real sense, making the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (sea self-defense) surpass the vast majority of countries in the world in one fell swoop. Japan's military strength has gradually begun to undergo a qualitative transformation, and we need to be extremely vigilant.

The Kaga is being refitted, pay attention to the construction status of the bow of the Kaga aircraft carrier, and the combat power of the Kaga aircraft carrier after the modification is completedDue to the national defense regulations of Japan's defeated countries, Japan is not allowed to have offensive **, so the Kaga aircraft carrier has been named as a *** destroyer in the Japanese Naval Self-Defense Force sequence, but in fact, it wants to cover up, and the ship is an aircraft carrier in the real sense of the word. The Kaga aircraft carrier is the second of Japan's Izumo-class aircraft carriers, and its name is inherited from the Kaga aircraft carrier commissioned in 1928, which participated in many wars of aggression against China, and was finally sunk by the United States in the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942.

The new aircraft carrier Kaga, which was built during the old Imperial Japan, was commissioned in March 2017 and has a total length of 248 meters, a width of 38 meters, and a draft of 75 meters, full load displacement 270,000 tons, the power unit is 4 LM-2500 gas turbines manufactured by General Electric Company of the United States, with a total power of 1340,000 horsepower, maximum speed 30 knots. Compared with the previous Hyuga-class aircraft carrier, the Kaga aircraft carrier has greatly improved the size and displacement of the hull, and is also equipped with a 15-meter-long and 14-meter-wide broadside elevator, which not only does not occupy a limited hangar area during take-off and landing, but also can easily transfer and lift 30-ton F35B fixed-wing fighters, which is not available in many light aircraft carriers. Relying on the huge hull, the deck and hangar of the Kaga aircraft carrier can carry up to nearly 30 unmodified Kaga aircraft carriers, and its own combat effectiveness has surpassed that of light aircraft carriers of many countries.

The main part of the refitting of the Kaga before the refit was to renovate the trapezoidal deck of the original bow to a rectangle, thereby increasing the deck area. The flight deck is coated with a high-temperature resistant coating to meet the high-temperature burning of the deck from the engine tail nozzle during vertical take-off and landing of F35B fighters. The internal cabin structure has also been modified accordingly to meet the needs of stronger aviation operations and formation command capabilities.

After the modification is completed, pay attention to the change in the shape of the foredeck The Kaga after the modification is completed, can carry at least 20 F35B fifth-generation stealth fighters, and the displacement will also be increased to 30,000 tons, which is close to the category of medium-sized aircraft carriers. As early as 2020, Japan signed a $23 billion agreement with the United States for the purchase of a total of 105 F-35 fighters, including 42 F-35B fighters. After the refit, the Kaga will go to the United States in 2025 for F35B take-off and landing operation training, just like its sister ship Izumo, and will be able to form combat strength as soon as 2026.

The Izumo before the refit and the sister ship Kaga, which will appear in the future with a new look, will carry at least 20 F35B fighters, as well as at least 8-10 *** of which it is likely to carry early warning *** Coupled with the shipborne OPS-50 active phased array radar with a detection range of 360 kilometers, it can effectively perceive sea, land and air targets within a range of 300 square kilometers, and the combat effectiveness of the Kaga aircraft carrier will also surpass the light aircraft carriers of most countries, and with the advantage of carrying the F35B fifth-generation stealth fighter, its combat effectiveness can be comparable to that of a medium-sized glide aircraft carrier like the Russian Kuznetsov, and even has advantages in some aspects.

After carrying the F35B fifth-generation stealth fighter, the combat effectiveness of the Kaga will be qualitatively improved, and in the face of the air forces of most countries in the world, it has a cross-generation advantage The significance to Japan after the modification of the Kaga aircraft carrier is in service The modification of the Kaga aircraft carrier is of revolutionary significance, which is of revolutionary significance to the improvement of the self-combat capability of the Sea of Japan and the overall national defense development. In the past, the sea has always been based on the "88 Fleet" as the main establishment, that is, a ship formation consisting of eight destroyers + 8 *** Japan has maintained 4 such "88 Fleet" for a long time. The core of each fleet has gradually developed from the first-generation Haruna-class destroyers that can carry 3 destroyers to the Izumo-class destroyers that can carry more than 20 destroyers before refitting.

Japan's "88th Fleet" at the end of the last century used to be mainly based on air defense and anti-submarine defense, even if it was similar to the Izumo class with a displacement of 2The 70,000-ton behemoth is only equipped with anti-submarine ***, at most it is just a *** aircraft carrier, and it does not have offensive attributes. However, the modified Izumo class, such as the Kaga completed this time, can carry 20 F35B fighters, and the combat mode has also changed from simple anti-submarine to aviation combat, and then cooperated with various types of ships of the "88th Fleet" to build a standard aircraft carrier battle group. This is a revolutionary progress in the mode of naval self-operation and combat effectiveness, from pure defense to offense, from passive air defense to active air defense, and from not having offensive capability to attacking threats in an all-round way on land, sea, and air.

The modified Kaga has enabled Japan to have a real aircraft carrier battle group in the past with the Kongo-class, Atago-class, and Maya-class Aegis destroyers, which have established a strong maritime air defense capability and anti-saturation strike capability, but in the final analysis, it is a passive defense, waiting for others to fight, and the standard 2 air defense missiles carried on the ship have a maximum range of only about 120 kilometers, leaving too little time for the fleet's safe response. After the modification, the Kaga, with the F35B fighter on board, can intercept incoming enemy aircraft at a distance of at least 400 kilometers away from the fleet, greatly expanding the defense range.

The launch of the F35B has greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Kaga aircraft carrier, and more importantly, by carrying the F35B fighters, Japan has established an aircraft carrier battle group in the true sense of the word, which can strike at the enemy's land, sea and air targets from a long distance, and can attack and retreat and defend. The completion of the refit of the Kaga means that the refit of two ships of the same type in the Izumo class has been completed, and Japan has two aircraft carrier battle groups in its hands, making Japan have the capability of ocean-going operations for the first time, and its ocean-going combat range has expanded from Japan's territorial waters to almost the world.

Relying on the Izumo-class aircraft carrier, Japan has established a powerful ocean-going navy, the picture shows the Izumo aircraft carrier formation As we all know, Japan has the world's top three economic strength, once the international situation changes abruptly, Japan can not only intervene in international affairs through economic means, but also intervene in international affairs through the deployment of ocean-going aircraft carrier battle groups, deterrence, and armed intervention. Threats to China. Objectively speaking, even if Japan has two aircraft carrier battle groups in the true sense of the word, the Izumo and Kaga, it is not qualified to challenge China. Although the U.S. military is a powerful maritime combat force that cannot be ignored, this is relative to other countries and does not include China. First of all, Japan and China are adjacent to each other, and they have no ability to resist China's shore-based anti-ship missiles, anti-ship ballistic missiles, fighters of all types, and bombers.

Anti-ship ballistic missiles are the nemesis of all surface ships, and China itself has a powerful naval combat force, and in the face of China's powerful aircraft carrier battle group, which is superior in quantity and quality, both at sea and under the sea, Japan's two aircraft carrier battle groups are nothing more than a small thing, and they cannot change the strategic pattern of East Asia. However, by modifying the Kaga aircraft carrier to create an aircraft carrier battle group in the true sense, Japan has to be vigilant against its hidden militaristic ambitions. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.
