b-21After the first flight, the Chinese side may already have the means to shoot it down. According to the South China Morning Post, Northwestern Polytechnical University, sanctioned by the United States, has formed a new research group dedicated to:Artificial intelligenceresearch and development of UAVs and hypersonic missiles, and published relevant **. By combining advanced hardware and software with new tactics, a hypersonic anti-aircraft missile was successfully simulated to shoot down oneb-21Bombers。Although the report does not specifically mention the model of the missile used, it can be inferred that its speed could reach 6Mach, which could be a Thunderbolt-17 or Thunderbolt-21 missile. b-21The feature is to bypass the Chinese strongAir Forceand anti-**Radar, deep into China's coastline and even inland, and carry ** drones, air-to-air missiles orElectronic warfarearmament, becoming a powerful air combat platform. Unlike the B-2,b-21Taking into account the cost, more attention is paid to quantity in terms of equipment, which shows that the United States is also awareMedium ** forceGrowing stronger, knowing that we cannot rely only on one means, but must pursue numerical superiority. However, specificallyb-21What means were used has not been fully announced, but there are rumors that in addition to taking passive measures such as reducing electromagnetic wave reflections and infrared signaturesStealth technologyoutside,b-21Some mysterious initiatives were also employedStealth technology。The so-called active stealth means:b-21It can interfere with the opponent's air defense search alert system and even send wrong information to mislead the enemyRadar, computer and command center. This active stealth not only makes it impossible for the enemy to detect itself, but also creates chaos in the opponent's system. Although this initiativeStealth technologyis the trend of the future, but for nowb-21It is difficult to say whether it has the actual combat ability. Actually, this involves:Artificial intelligenceApplication of technology. In the future, by usingArtificial intelligenceThe tactics of automated decision-making will become a trend, completely different from the traditional way of relying on pilots to make decisions manually. This allows for quick switching between missiles, a faster response, more flexibility, and increased degrees of freedom. At the same time, missiles with the mother machineDatalinkExchanges also need to be rapid, timely, and reliable in order to ensure communication capabilities. Therefore, shoot downb-21And it's not just a fewRadarRather, it requires the combination of the entire system to form a complete set of combat methods. The experiments we are conducting so far are only simulations, and can at least be seen as research and ** at the level of theory and basic technology. In the end, whether it can be engineered and turned into a combat equipment and tactics still needs to solve many problems. But China does need this capability, which means that it must have the sword in its hands, and although it may not be used, it must not be without.
Although the report does not mention the specific type of missile used, the hypersonic anti-aircraft missile developed by China has proven capable of shooting downb-21capacity. The speed of such a missile is capable of reaching 6Mach, causing great damage. Therefore,b-21It may not be so safe in the first place. This report can be said to be a wake-up call to remind the US side of their new generationBombersNot invincible.
According to the analysis,b-21The design goal is primarily aimed at China, with the intention of bypassing China's powerful stateAir Forceand anti-**Radar, break through China's territorial defense line, and even enter the Chinese mainland. Therefore,b-21Not only has it been fully upgraded in stealth performance, but it also carries ** drones, air-to-air missiles andElectronic warfarekit, which became a multifunctional air combat platform. At the same time,b-21The cost of construction is also relatively low, in order to achieve large-scale equipment, which reflects the US military's pairingMedium ** forceGrowing awareness and realizing that relying only on a small amount of sophisticated equipment cannot effectively confront China.
Stillb-21Although the stealth performance is strong, China has made an important breakthrough in stealth aircraft detection. According to reports,b-21Passive was adoptedStealth technology, such as reducing electromagnetic wave reflections and infrared signatures, but more interesting is its initiativeStealth technology。The technology makes:b-21It is capable of jamming the opponent's air defense search alert system and even sending misinformation to mislead the enemyRadar, computer and command center. This means:b-21While being passively stealthy, it can also actively interfere with the enemy, increasing its survivability and attack ability.
However, for the time being, about:b-21What specific technical means were used, the official has not fully announced. And these means involve the useArtificial intelligenceThe tactics of automatic decision-making by technology are the trend of future development. This method of warfare can quickly switch targets, respond faster, be more flexible, and also improve the degree of freedom of combat. In addition to this, between the missile and the mother machineDatalinkExchanges also need to be rapid, timely, and reliable in order to ensure communication capabilities. These factors make it possible to shoot downb-21It's no longer a simple confrontation with a fewRadar, and it requires the coordination and coordination of the entire combat system.
At present, the Chinese side has carried out a confrontationb-21The simulated combat experiment proved the feasibility and effect of its technology. However, this is only the experimental stage, and there is still a long way to go before it can be engineered. Solve various problems on the actual battlefield and ensure the actual combat effectiveness of equipment and tacticsReliability, further research and development are needed.
b-21After the first flight, it faced tremendous pressure from the Chinese side. Through the development and use of hypersonic anti-aircraft missilesArtificial intelligenceThe exploration of technology, China has shown rightb-21Possibility of having the ability to shoot down. b-21The design target is for ChinaMilitarythreat, but China has made important breakthroughs in stealth aircraft detection, jamming and countermeasures. Althoughb-21It has strong stealth performance, but it still faces China's powerful air defense system and anti-aircraft systemRadarchallenges. How to achieve active jamming while maintaining stealth will become a key factor in future air combat. For the Chinese ** side, shoot downb-21It should not just be a simulation experiment, but should be engineered and a real combat capability should be formed. And for the United States, aware of the Chinese oneMilitaryWith its strength becoming stronger and stronger, it is no longer enough to rely solely on a small amount of high-tech equipment, and it is necessary to grasp more numerical advantages.
