At the end of 2023, Russia carried out a large-scale air attack on Ukraine, involving hypersonic missiles, cruise missiles and other heavy **, which hit the Ukrainian side hard.
In addition, Western countries' aid to Ukraine is also facing certain difficulties, which makes Ukraine feel extremely stressed this winter.
That said, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not expected to end anytime soon. If Russia wants to reach an end as soon as possible, it may urgently need three ** from China, which have the potential to change the tide of the war, especially the Pterodactyl 3 drone, which is considered significant.
Pterodactyl 3: There is no substitute for importance
The Chinese Pterodactyl 3 drone is considered one of the most advanced large UAVs and was not officially launched until 2022. Outwardly similar to the American MQ-9 UAV, this may mean that they have some similarities in purpose.
Although many of the performance data of the Pterodactyl 3 remain classified, it can be speculated by the MQ-9. The length of the MQ-9 is about 11 meters, which is comparable to some light manned fighters, and the maximum take-off weight is about 47 tons, can carry Hellfire anti-missiles and laser-guided bombs, etc.**, with advanced reconnaissance equipment, is a multi-functional UAV. The maximum endurance of the MQ-9 is 27 hours, capable of 1The mission is carried out at an altitude of 50,000 meters, with strong concealment. It is believed that the Chinese Pterodactyl 3 UAV may perform better in some aspects.
According to public information, the maximum stay time of the Pterodactyl 3 is as long as 40 hours, and the flight range is more than 10,000 meters, which is a rare drone that can perform intercontinental flights. In contrast, the Pterodactyl 3 is larger and has a higher maximum load capacity. This advanced high-end UAV can greatly enhance Russia's intelligence perception ability on the battlefield in Ukraine, and can even transmit intelligence on multiple fronts to the command headquarters, which has great power for the Russian army.
At present, one of the main problems facing the Russian army is the scarcity of medium and high-end UAVs. Coupled with Russia's deficiencies in information warfare, they lack sufficient intelligence perception on the battlefield and often react passively to the Ukrainian offensive. For a military power, such a situation clearly should not exist. In addition, Pterodactyl 3 is relatively small in size and has unique stealth, making it difficult for enemies to detect on the battlefield.
If necessary, the Pterodactyl-3 can also carry surface-to-surface missiles to strike behind enemy lines and destroy Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile systems. This will eliminate the need for Russia to use expensive long-range missiles to attack these targets. Theoretically, if Russia has more than 20 Pterodactyl 3 UAVs, then they can completely change the existing situation in a short time.
A300 rocket launcher: a game-changing weapon
In addition to the much-talked-about Pterodactyl 3 drone, the A300 rocket launcher is also a highly valued one**, which can significantly enhance the capabilities of the Russian army in long-range fire coverage, so that it no longer appears so passive in frontline conflicts.
With the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, NATO countries have provided Ukraine with a large number of Seahorse rocket artillery, which has the characteristics of a rapid rate of fire, high mobility and powerful firepower.
The launchers of the Seahorse rocket launchers, which usually move along the road, are able to quickly withdraw after completing a round of fire in about ten minutes, giving the Russian army little chance to react.
In contrast, Russian rocket artillery is unable to fire from a long range and lacks sufficient reconnaissance capabilities, often taking more time to lock onto targets, while the enemy has long since withdrawn quickly.
In this kind of war environment, the PLA's A300 rocket artillery is regarded as an important lethality**. The A300 rocket artillery has a range of about 290 km and can be used almost as a short-range missile.
Similar to the American Seahorse rocket launcher, the A300 rocket launcher has excellent mobility and wide range coverage, allowing it to easily pursue Ukrainian forces at a distance of 200 km.
In addition, the A300 rocket launcher not only has a long range, but also has high accuracy, and can even lock on to the target when it is in a highly maneuverable state. Its rockets carry a large number of high-quality drugs, and basically every shot can accurately hit the target, forming an effective deterrent to the enemy.
Moreover, at a range of 20 km, the A300 rocket launcher is also capable of engaging 8 targets at the same time, which far exceeds the combat capabilities of other rocket artillery.
It can be said that if Russia had deployed a large number of A300 rocket artillery on the front line, it would not have faced such a predicament as it currently is. Even in the first round of the special military operation against Ukraine, the situation may have been different if a massive A300 rocket artillery long-range strike was adopted.
At present, the A300 rocket artillery has been exported to the Middle East and other places, and if Russia shows enough sincerity, it is also possible to obtain the ** of this rocket artillery.
Type 052D destroyer: the last shortcoming of the Russian army
The advent of the Type 052D destroyer may fill the last shortcoming of the Russian army, allowing it to achieve all-round and three-dimensional war preparation.
In the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian Moskva was destroyed by Ukraine, which exposed the inadequacy of the Russian army's maritime power. The weakness of its maritime power means that Russia is unable to effectively block Ukraine's supply lines in the Black Sea, resulting in a constant supply of supplies and equipment for Ukraine. If Ukraine can be cut off from sea supplies, it will be equivalent to weakening part of its combat capability. The Type 052D destroyer has the potential for such an action because it has China's advanced shipboard radar system, which is capable of detecting multiple targets and detecting them.
In addition, the Type 052D destroyer is equipped with an advanced vertical launch system, which can be equipped with a large number of anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, which not only has strong survivability, but also has excellent strike capabilities. If there are 5 such advanced destroyers, it is expected to achieve an effective blockade of Ukraine in the Black Sea.
In general, the addition of Type 052D destroyers is a strategic addition for Russia. If it can get two more types of equipment, Russia will be even more confident in turning the tide of the war.
