Chapter 1375: H-20 Stealth Strategic Bomber Rolls Off Production Line
On the eve of the Spring Festival.
Panshan Group presented a New Year gift to the people of the country, which is the domestically produced new generation of stealth supersonic strategic bomber ‘H-20’, which finally ushered in the moment of rolling off the production line.
From H-10 to H-20, China only took a few years, and this represents a leap for bombers.
Since the Americans launched the B2 stealth strategic bomber, the B2 stealth strategic bomber has been flaunted by the United States. Its combat range can reach 12,000 kilometers without refueling in the air, and it can reach 18,000 kilometers after refueling in the air. The air flight time for each mission is generally not less than 10 hours. The US space even claims that it has the ability to ‘reach the world’ and ‘destroy the world’.
The stealth performance of this B2 stealth strategic bomber is comparable to that of the small F-117 attack aircraft, while its combat capability is similar to that of the huge B-1B bomber.
Since the birth of the B2 stealth strategic bomber, it has been listed as a key observation target by various countries.
Whether it is the Kosovo War, the Afghanistan War or the Iraq War, the B-2 stealth strategic bomber has participated in the war and performed very well.
However, the performance of the 'H-20' stealth strategic bomber has surpassed the B-2 stealth strategic bomber, reaching supersonic speed, while the maximum speed of the B2 is 0.95 Mach. In terms of stealth, the use of more advanced stealth coatings and stealth designs makes the stealth performance of the 'H-20' stealth strategic bomber better than that of the B2. And in terms of the amount of bombs carried, the 'H-20' stealth strategic bomber is also much higher.
It can be said that with the birth of the 'H-20' stealth strategic bomber, the most advanced strategic bomber in the world has changed its position, and it is no longer the B2 stealth strategic bomber!
For foreign defense means, the 'H-20' stealth strategic bomber can be said to be almost impossible to intercept. First, it is not easy to detect due to its stealth, and second, even if it is discovered, it can escape the interception of fighter jets at supersonic speed.
Moreover, the 'H-20' stealth strategic bomber is not helpless when it is discovered. It is equipped with a laser cannon, which is enough to cause devastating blows to fighter jets and missiles at medium and short range.
Carrying a small nuclear reactor, it can not only power the laser cannon, but also the avionics system of the bomber, and even ensure that the bomber can fly back after all the fuel is used up.
Like the H-10 strategic bomber, the H-20 stealth strategic bomber can not only carry ammunition, nuclear warheads, etc., but can also be modified to carry drones!
Just think about it, after the H-20 stealth strategic bomber breaks through the defense line on the battlefield, it will drop hundreds of drones on the battlefield. How spectacular it would be!
011 Air Base welcomed many leaders and guests, each of whom is a heavyweight. They all came to participate in the offline ceremony of the H-20 stealth strategic bomber.
It can be seen how much the country values the H-20 stealth strategic bomber. It is the core of the future strategic deterrence of the Chinese Air Force.
The H-6 series bombers, the H-10 series bombers, and the H-20 stealth strategic bombers constitute the strategic deterrence force system of the Chinese Air Force in the future.
As for the previously imported Tu-23 series bombers, Tu-95 series bombers, and Tu-160 bombers, they will eventually withdraw from the stage of history as their service time goes by. After all, it is impossible for China to specialize in the production lines of these bombers and then produce these bombers.
Even with the increasing number of H-10 series bombers and the future service of the H-20 stealth strategic bomber, the Chinese Air Force will gradually export Soviet-made bombers to Southeast Asia and even the Middle East.
After all, it is best to make such strategic-level weapons domestically.
In the past, there was no way to rely on these bombers to support the scene and deter those jackals and tigers overseas.
But now, it is no longer necessary!
Just like the H-20 stealth strategic bomber, it will be the most advanced and powerful strategic bomber in the world in the foreseeable 20 years.
From a certain perspective, its deterrence is even greater than other strategic weapons. After all, the deterrence of strategic bombers is visible to people. As long as its wings shake, many people can shut up.
The entire 011 Air Base is full of festive atmosphere, not only because the Spring Festival holiday is approaching, but also because the H-20 strategic bomber is about to roll off the assembly line and hold a roll-off ceremony.
As the largest aviation industrial base in the country, the entire 011 Air Base is very large in scale. From Guizhou Province to Sichuan Province and then to Sanqin, it has formed the China Aerospace Industry Corridor, which is the essence of China's aerospace industry.
Civilian aircraft manufacturing plants can be built in coastal cities such as Magic City, but military aircraft manufacturing plants and supporting plants are mainly located in the central and western regions!
This is for national defense and security considerations.
As for the strength of the defense force, it is absolutely unimaginable!
At present, almost no country has the power to break through the layers of defense and bomb this area with missiles or bombers.
In addition to the laser cannon, the most advanced air defense weapon in the world, there is also a multi-layered air defense firepower system consisting of long-range air defense missiles, medium-range air defense missiles, short-range air defense missiles, and short-range air defense firepower networks. At the same time, various air force bases can take off aircraft at any time to conduct air interception of missiles, aircraft, etc.
At the launch ceremony, three H-20 stealth strategic bombers are still covered with canvas, and their true appearance cannot be seen. This is also for a sense of ritual, which is common in aircraft launch ceremonies, so as to maintain a sense of mystery.
Unlike in the past, the launch ceremony was not kept secret. The CCTV filming team followed, and official authoritative media such as Xinhua News Agency also sent professional teams to come.
With the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength, the previous strict confidentiality and even the lack of reporting for many years of service have gradually become inapplicable.
First, there are more and more military fans, just like in Anshun, 011 Aviation Base, which is the favorite place for a large number of aviation fans across the country. As long as various aircraft are tested, it is difficult to keep them secret, not to mention big guys like strategic bombers.
Second, the development of the Internet has made the transmission of information too fast. The Internet police have not reacted yet, and the relevant news may have spread abroad.
Third, the technological development of US and Russian reconnaissance satellites. Although it is difficult to understand too clearly through reconnaissance satellites, it is still no problem to find that it is a new type of aircraft.
Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that it does not need to be done as before.
No matter how Yao Ming tried to cover himself, even if he was squatting, he was still taller than Pan Changjiang.
Whether it was keeping a low profile or sleeping on straw and tasting gall, it was no longer suitable!
Although it was not a live offline ceremony, it would appear on the 7 o'clock news tonight, and it would be the highlight of the 7 o'clock news tonight. Xinhua News Agency, Renren Daily and other heavyweight authoritative official media would also give it front-page coverage.
It can be said that the treatment specifications of the H-20 stealth strategic bomber are absolutely top-notch.
Liu Tao was walking shoulder to shoulder with a white-haired guest at this time. The old guest had a smile on his face. This was the joy from the heart and the pride in his eyes of seeing the motherland become stronger.
"Mr. Huang, this strategic bomber will support the strongest air deterrence force of our China for at least 20 years, or even 30 years!" Liu Tao pointed to the three H-20 stealth strategic bombers covered by canvas and introduced them.
Huang Xuhua is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, but the title of academician is just an embellishment. He has been engaged in the development of nuclear submarines for a long time, and has pioneered the development of Chinese nuclear submarines. He is one of the founders of the development of China's first generation of nuclear-powered submarines. He is known as the "Father of Chinese Nuclear Submarines" and has made outstanding contributions to the development of China's nuclear submarines. He presided over the development of China's first generation of nuclear submarines and missile nuclear submarines, and won the special prize of the "National Science and Technology Progress Award" respectively. He was also awarded the honorary title of "National Advanced Worker" in 1989.
He is also on the list of the top ten people who moved China! The National Highest Science and Technology Award was also awarded to him in previous years.
The National Highest Science and Technology Award is the highest award with a lifelong honorary nature. It is the highest award given by the Party and the State to scientific researchers who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of the country and have dedicated their lives to the motherland.
Liu Tao has great respect for Mr. Huang. That is a true portrayal of his 30 years of hiding his name for the nuclear submarine cause of the motherland. Whether it is "loyalty to the country is the greatest filial piety to parents" or "this life belongs to nuclear submarines, this life belongs to the motherland, and this life has no regrets", it is enough to move people. His deeds are enough to be recorded in history and remembered by future generations. As for the Huang family, Huang Xuhua is definitely a single-page family tree!
Moreover, Mr. Huang never pursues material enjoyment. Even after retirement, he lives a very frugal life. A considerable part of his monthly pension is used to support poor students.
"Good, good!" Huang Xuhua's smile became even bigger.
Huang Xuhua is naturally very familiar with Liu Tao. The two sides have dealt with each other many times. He admires Liu Tao's technical attainments.
It is also because of Liu Tao that China has advanced 093-type attack nuclear submarines and 094-type strategic nuclear submarines in the 1990s, which deter jackals and tigers and protect China's national interests.
Soon, China will have more advanced Type 095 attack nuclear submarines and Type 096 strategic nuclear submarines, which will be the most advanced attack nuclear submarines and strategic nuclear submarines in the world.
The current China is something they dared not even think about before, and even dared not dream about at night.
As a person born in the era of warlords and growing up in China on the brink of national extinction, Huang Xuhua, like his peers, has a heart to save the nation. At the age of 18, he went to Shancheng after several twists and turns, and entered the special preparatory class for exiled students opened by the National Government. Later, he was recommended to the Aviation Department of Central University, and then he was admitted to Jiaotong University with the first place.
In 1949, Huang Xuhua graduated from the Shipbuilding Department of Jiaotong University and became a probationary party member. Then he worked in the Shipbuilding Department of the Magic City Military Control Commission and the Magic City Merchants Bureau. Since 1954, he has been transferred to the Magic City Shipbuilding Industry Administration and selected to participate in the transfer, manufacturing and imitation of several types of ships assisted by the Soviet Union to China.
I am a brick of the revolution, and I will move wherever I am needed!
This sentence is fully reflected in Huang Xuhua.
Similarly, dedicating oneself to the country is also fully reflected in him.
If there is a noble soul in the world, then he has it!
It is precisely because he is a time-tested revolutionary warrior that even though he is not in the aviation field, he was still invited to be a guest at the H-20 stealth strategic bomber roll-off ceremony.
Inside the assembly workshop, with the military band playing music and thunderous applause, Liu Tao and others walked along the red carpet to the viewing platform.
Although the three strategic bombers were covered with veils and their true appearance could not be seen, it can be seen from the outer outline that these three strategic bombers are very large and huge!
The off-line ceremony of the H-20 stealth strategic bomber has begun!
Yang Wei personally presided over the off-line ceremony. As the current head of Guizhou Fei Group, the head of the 011 Aviation Base, and also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Yang Wei is also a familiar face to everyone.
To be honest, the H-20 stealth strategic bomber is very advanced, very advanced, but the Chinese Air Force will not equip too many, and a total of 20 are planned.
First, because the H-20 stealth strategic bomber is too advanced, it uses a lot of advanced technologies, and the cost is not cheap. The J-20 stealth fighter is just a younger brother in front of it.
Secondly, it is because equipping 20 H-20 stealth strategic bombers is enough to ensure the strategic deterrence of the Chinese Air Force.
You should know that in addition to the H-20 stealth strategic bomber, China also has H-6 improved strategic bombers such as H-6K/S, and H-10 series bombers.
When the enemy's air defense positions are destroyed, the role played by the H-6 improved strategic bomber and the H-10 strategic bomber is actually not much different from that of the H-20 stealth strategic bomber, and the enemy can only be bombed indiscriminately.
This is a bit like the positioning of the J-20 stealth fighter. The number of equipment will not be too many. The positioning is to be an assassin, a door kicker, to destroy the enemy's air defense positions, air defense radars, etc., and when these are destroyed, the enemy's sky will be the world of the J-10 series fighters and the J-11 series fighters.
After Liu Tao and others delivered an important speech, it came to an exciting moment. Liu Tao and others will jointly unveil the H-20 strategic bomber.
When Liu Tao and others pressed the electric switch, the canvas covering the fuselage of the three H-20 strategic bombers slowly slid down, and soon the true appearance of the H-20 strategic bombers appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was in an uproar and couldn't help applauding!
These three H-20 strategic bombers are like science fiction products, as if they are fighters from the stars. Their fuselages are glowing with a strange color, and those who know the business will know that this is a stealth coating.
The military representatives grinned one by one, and they were really happy.
For the military, advanced fighters and advanced bombers are like peerless beauties!
Appearance is combat effectiveness, which is a law that has long been recognized in the military industry.
Liu Tao knew that even if the design drawings of the H-20 strategic bomber were given to other countries, other countries would not be able to build it.
For example, in terms of processing requirements, there are many load-bearing components, which require very advanced forging machines, and this kind of advanced forging machine is currently only available in China!
This kind of forging machine is a strategic weapon and is included in the scope of control. No matter how much money a foreign country pays, China will never allow it to be exported. (End of this chapter)
