Chapter 2046: The bomber problem

Now, the country has made great strides forward in terms of fighter jets, but in terms of bombers, the country is still standing still.
Of course, in terms of tactical bombers, the entry into service of the JH-7 has greatly alleviated this situation. This powerful ground bomber can also attack the sea and is a good helper for the air force and navy.
At the same time, the J-11 fighter plane can also be used as a bomber after being upgraded with avionics. However, these are all tactical in nature. There is a big gap in the domestic strategic bomber.
Up to now, the H-6 is still in use in China. This type of bomber is quite old. The prototype is from the Tu-16 bomber in the bear country. In the bear country, this kind of aircraft was quickly eliminated, but in the Han country, it bloomed As a result, it is still in steady production.
Of course, according to the changes of the times, this bomber is also improving. For example, its backward turbojet-8 engine is ready to be replaced with a more advanced turbofan engine to improve its range and space time, and its electronic system After a substantial replacement, it can perform more missions and perform precision bombing missions. Moreover, after the upgrade of the weapon system, it can hang advanced cruise missiles in the future and become a long-range strike weapon.
However, no matter how it is upgraded, it is still a backward bomber. Its speed is very low. Its ammunition capacity is only nine tons. Its original design limits its further performance.
Take a look at the bear country in the north. The main bombers are Tu-22M and Tu-160. These aircraft are quite advanced and can conduct ultra-low-altitude and high-speed penetration. This is also a direct measure of the advanced level of bombers. With the continuous development of air defense systems, only low-altitude and high-speed penetration can break through the opponent's air defense circle. These bombers are also the biggest danger facing Han.
Although the world is safe, if you forget the battle, the bear country in the north has always treated Han as a potential enemy. Even if the current relationship is eased, it is temporary. The interceptor of Han is the main intercept target. , Is also like Figure-22M.
Looking at the Eagle Country, there are also advanced bombers. For example, in addition to the B-52 that is constantly in service, they also have the B-1B. They are still developing stealth B-2 bombers. In these areas, the country has already gone far. The ground is behind.
Of course, the H6 is still useful, just like the B-52. With continuous improvement, it can serve to later generations, and when the dispute is settled, it can show an attitude.
Just like the bear country, once it encounters a situation, it will lift the huge Tu-95 bomber into the air and conduct a confrontation. At this time, everyone will act according to normal rules. I will send aircraft to intercept and everyone will circle in the sky. Confronting each other, occasionally playing off, may miss, but generally will not do it.
However, if the Tu-22M and Tu-160 bombers swiftly come from ultra-low altitude, it definitely means that I don't want to play anymore, I'm going to be real.
Different bombers have different uses.
At present, there are only bombers used in confrontation in the country. Those that really pose a threat to the enemy, but not. As for stealth bombers, that's a very distant matter.
Now, after hearing this participant's suggestion, Qin Guan was also in his heart. Yeah, if there were such a bomber, it would be so good!
But then you can think of the difficulty of it.
This is like a Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. At the time of design, there was originally a fighter model, but when it turned out that it could only fly in a straight line in high-speed flight, I immediately decided to abandon the fighter project and only engage in reconnaissance aircraft with peace of mind. Up.
Hypersonic bombers face more problems. In addition to being unable to maneuver, the other is aiming. At this speed, optical and thermal imaging devices are ineffective. Only radar devices can be used, but radar devices are notable. The characteristic is that you can’t leave it alone after launching, flying so fast, throwing a bomb, the plane will be far away, the radar can’t continue to guide, the bomb dropped at Mach 6 is falling in the sky, the situation encountered is too complicated Obviously, the accuracy of this bombing cannot be guaranteed.
It is as if the Hans had just invented the jet. They planned to use the jet as a bomber, but the speed was too fast and it was not suitable at all. In the end, they became a fighter plane and found the right use.
"It's not appropriate to use it as a bomber," Qin Guan said: "The bombers we need now are preferably Tu-22M and Tu-160."
Just this year, the Tu-160 designed by Xiong after more than 20 years was finally put into service. The shape of this aircraft is similar to B-1B. After entering service, it immediately became the most advanced in Xiong country. The strategic bomber is sufficient to perform intercontinental bombing missions.
However, Qin Guan also knew that it would not be long before Xiong State disintegrated. At that time, 25 of the 160 Tu160s were manufactured, and 16 of them were left at Ermao's house. Then, will these planes be brought over?
If you bring a part of the Tu-22M with you, it will be more perfect, and the domestic problem will be solved in one fell swoop. After all, the important thing about this kind of aircraft is to have it, not how much, it is specially produced and the output is not high. Isn't this a waste?
After thinking about this, Qin Guan relaxed.
"We will proceed according to the reconnaissance aircraft first. As for the bomber project, we are facing too many problems. We still need to be patient for the time being and wait for future opportunities." Qin Guan said.
When talking about this type of bomber, many people’s eyes lit up. The Air Force was looking forward to such a big killer, and the Navy also had a demand. However, Qin Guan rejected it in one sentence, but if you think about it carefully, Qin Guan It also makes sense. Now they are facing a lot of problems. This type of bomber is not necessary. After all, the national defense policy is still defense. At this time, there is no need for an offensive weapon such as a bomber unless it is transformed into Only needed after offensive air defense.
"As for our army, there is also a chance. During the air force's confrontation exercises, the bear people will also notice the strength of our army. If they invite us to participate in their exercises, we can compete with the strongest in the world. The big army is facing each other." Qin Guan continued.
In the parallel world of the later generations, Han and Xiong often held joint military exercises. The 96 tanks of Han were also frequent visitors to each other. Now, this opportunity will definitely come sooner.
