The Chinese Air Force has become the first in the world.
Second, the strength of Asia's No. 1, this data has shocked many countries. China has quietly amassed strength in a low-key manner, as if overnight it has become a formidable fighting force. From the old equipment in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the localization of advanced models today, China has experienced a period of research and development to catch up. Of course, there is a lot of unimaginable effort behind the scenes.
How strong is the Chinese Air Force, as the first air force in Asia? This is evident from its sophisticated equipment: it has 1,900 advanced fighters of various types, including fifth-generation stealth fighters. In addition, it has 270 bombers, which show the most powerful combat power in attack raids. Among the models built with cutting-edge electronic equipment, there are 70 advanced early warning aircraft that the world will be amazed by.
In the era of over-the-horizon warfare, many countries are eager to have AWACS aircraft, especially some countries like the United States, which have been developed for decades. However, as a latecomer, China has made leaps and bounds in scientific and technological achievements by overcoming many difficulties, catching up with or even surpassing the United States and becoming the world's most advanced country with early warning aircraft, which has shocked many countries.
The most powerful force in national defense is already the air force's combat mode, and at the same time, enhancing the air combat capability can also quickly mobilize and counterattack the enemy's strength.
While the number of fighters is an important parameter, the overall sophistication of the fighters is equally important. Possessing advanced fighters means that the country's aviation industry is constantly improving, and it has independent patented technology in the manufacture of domestic aero engine equipment, and also has strong R&D and upgrading capabilities.
The J-20 fighter, which has been in service for more than seven years, is one of the country's most high-profile fifth-generation fighters with stealth capabilities. This gives the Chinese Air Force a strong core combat force.
The J-20 has entered the ace air force and is currently deployed in China's five major theaters. The four production lines are running at full speed, and the annual production capacity is expected to exceed 100 aircraft. More than 200 J-20s have been put into service, which has surpassed the strongest fifth-generation fighter in the United States, the Raptor F22. With the support of stable production, the J-20 will continue to set a new record for the total number of fifth-generation fighters.
The FC31 fighter has undergone twists and turns and improvements, and finally successfully upgraded to an advanced J-35 fighter with the unremitting efforts of the Chinese first-class engineering research team. This fifth-generation fighter has the latest folding wing technology, supports the aircraft carrier's electromagnetic catapult system to assist take-off, and can be derived from several different versions, becoming another advanced fifth-generation fighter in China.
Although Japan and South Korea are supported by the United States and have a large number of American-made fighters, why have they not become the most powerful countries in the Asian air force? This is because China has scientifically and long-term planned the development goals of the Air Force, rationalized the research and development schedule of various aircraft types, and started to introduce advanced foreign aircraft as soon as possible, although these models may not have top-notch core technologies.
However, it is also constantly absorbing and absorbing the advantages of Soviet-made fighters, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and aiming for rapid improvement. In the 80s of the last century, the 906 aviation development project was launched, the Su-27 fighter was introduced, and its production line and technology were introduced into the country, and then the J-11A was successfully created, which is considered to have the characteristics of learning from the Su-27.
After the disintegration of the Ukrainian military factory, we recruited a large number of experts and technicians to come to Xi'an and established a scientific research base for the research and development of fighters, which laid a solid foundation for the rapid development of China's aviation industry.
With the rapid improvement of science and technology, the number of fighters in China's air force has gradually grown from a small number at the beginning to more than 270 bombers such as 230 H-5, H-6 and J-7. These excellent fighters have long been the main force of the Chinese Air Force, providing a solid support for strong defense and support.
Whether it is support, penetrating defense and anti-submarine and other combat missions, it can be handy. These bombers possess the formidable ability to carry and launch nuclear bombs, forming the ultimate combat strike force that will deter the enemy.
At present, the Chinese Air Force has more than 1,900 advanced fighters, whether it is a transport aircraft, a transport aircraft or an anti-submarine aircraft and other models, all of which have been made into domestic aero engines. This technological advance, made in just a few decades, highlights the miracle of China's aviation manufacturing industry. The realization of domestic aviation development shows China's self-confidence in the level of aviation technology and its ability to grasp the initiative in the deployment of the air force. No longer relying on foreign equipment means being free from constraints and uncertainties, so it represents a new era of development for the Chinese Air Force.
One of the high-tech features of the Chinese Air Force is its advanced early warning aircraft technology, which is known for its remarkable sophistication. Through advanced radar reconnaissance technology, this technology can keenly scan and inspect the early warning range, discover enemy aircraft in time, and accurately guide our fighters to strike at targets during operations, so as to achieve the greatest degree of combat power destruction, so as to ensure the safety of China's air force to a greater extent and reduce losses. These functions ensure the practicability of advanced early warning aircraft technology, and are also a powerful verification of the level of aviation science and technology.
In the future, China's air force will have more new equipment to join, and these equipment will bring us more powerful combat power support and enhancement.
