The Year of the Dragon is approaching, and all walks of life have ushered in the tradition of New Year's greetings. In the circle of military fans, there has always been a joke circulating: every Spring Festival, the major branches of the People's Liberation Army will collectively "sell miserably", displaying all kinds of ancient ** equipment, as if to express the meaning of "our life is not good, I hope there will be more military support in the coming year". Unlike other branches of the armed forces, China's military industry has always been full of confidence, and every year it will generously demonstrate its strong military strength at the end of the year.
Recently, the official Weibo of the Ordnance Group released a meaningful news: "Advance warning, there is a cannon, which has appeared more recently......This mysterious revelation immediately caused a heated discussion among military fans. Many speculate that the Ordnance Group may have sent the long-awaited electromagnetic cannon to military fans. Due to the extremely limited information of the Weapons Group, we can only speculate about this mysterious cannon at this time.
In fact, China Ordnance Equipment Group has always been one of the main businesses of high-efficiency destruction artillery, and has also been making moves in the field of electromagnetic guns. Compared with traditional artillery, electromagnetic guns are not limited by the energy density of chemical propellants, and the launch power can be accurately controlled through electrical energy supply. Theoretically speaking, the electromagnetic gun has the advantage of a high burst rate, especially in naval warfare, the striking distance and accuracy of sea and air targets can be effectively guaranteed, forming a long-term rapid suppression, which is very important to improve the lethality and air supremacy of the warship.
China started relatively late in the field of electromagnetic guns, and the first to get involved in the research and development of electromagnetic guns was the United States. The American electromagnetic cannon experiment did not go well, and the project was eventually terminated due to the adjustment of direction and the military budget. Japan, in addition to the United States, is another country that has invested heavily in the research and development of electromagnetic guns. Last year, the Equipment Agency of the Japanese Ministry of Defense announced the sea launch test of a medium-caliber electromagnetic gun, and Japan** advertised it as "the world's first shipborne electromagnetic gun test". This is contrary to the facts, as early as 2018, our country installed a shipborne electromagnetic cannon on the landing ship "Ocean Mountain" and completed a series of tests.
In recent years, China has made remarkable breakthroughs in the research and development of naval electromagnetic guns, especially in cutting-edge energy storage systems, alloy material coatings resistant to extreme environments, complex control and monitoring systems, and large-scale continuous fire tests. A number of ** have reported that the PLA's electromagnetic cannon is close to actual combat. In the upgrade of the Type 055 destroyer, the electromagnetic cannon is expected to become a key link, improving its air defense and anti-ship capabilities.
Here, we are full of confidence in the birth of the world's first combat electromagnetic gun. This will enable the Chinese Navy to subvert tradition in the pattern of modern naval warfare and become the leader of a new round of equipment technology revolution. Looking forward to the future, the Chinese Navy will certainly demonstrate a more powerful strategic deterrent.
