Great warships

Chapter 1291 The Final Showdown
The massive scale of the Eastern exercises shocked the entire world.

This matter cannot be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it. After all, it is just an exercise, a flex of muscle, so we might as well admit it openly.

Next, the Eastern Navy continued to take action. Exercises were in full swing in the north, east, and south, and they were still joint military exercises.

To the north is the Russian Navy, with two amphibious landing ships as the main force, coordinated by a large number of escort warships. The 001 aircraft carrier in the east has also joined in the fun, bringing a group of escort warships to conduct exercises in waters suitable for both sides.

Nearby, the navies of the island nation and the South Korean nation were watching silently, not even daring to get too close for fear of causing any misunderstanding.

To the south, the Siamese Navy passed through the canal zone and came to join in the fun, conducting joint military exercises in the southern waters and cooperating with the 002 aircraft carrier formation. The exercises were grand, and a large number of aircraft appeared on several nearby islands, including Y- patrol aircraft, J-, and sometimes even H-J. The escort missions were still provided by some ordinary J-s, but no one dared to despise this navy.

After all, a navy with the strongest strength has already transferred its main forces to the Mediterranean to seek a place. Without the support from behind, no one dared to stab them.

The exercises in the east are still the most intense, with a large number of warships concentrated here. Although there is no shocking total displacement of more than 600,000 tons in the previous exercises, there are still at least 300,000 to 400,000 tons left.

This fleet conducted exercises in the Western Pacific, and was able to receive air support from fighter jets taking off from the land behind it. Since the end of the previous phase of exercises, the airports available to the air force have been further forward, and there is no such thing as a first island chain, and the Pacific Ocean is just outside!
All everyone could do was watch and wait.

Silence, silence, either explode in silence or die in silence.

In this depressing atmosphere, the East suddenly announced a series of advanced equipment.

Zhang Zhong talks about the show.

"Hello, everyone in front of the TV! I am your old friend Zhang Zhong. Today, I came to the Flight Test Institute. Here, there is a special strategic bomber waiting for our interview. What is it? Everyone, follow our camera and look over here!"

The camera turned to the hangar on the side, where a special-shaped aircraft was parked!
It is all black, with a very wide body and a bulge in the middle. Although you can't look down from the top, you can see that it looks very similar to some kind of aircraft.

"This is the H-20, our most advanced stealth bomber in the East!" Zhang Zhong said, "It adopts a flying wing layout and has excellent stealth performance! Don't be fooled by the size of this aircraft. In the eyes of radar, it is no bigger than a ball!"

"As for its other performance, I believe that the audience in front of the TV are looking forward to it. I, Zhang Zhong, will not keep you in suspense. Let our H-20 pilots tell us about its specific performance!"

A handsome young man appeared in front of everyone. He was a little shy and said, "Hello everyone, I am the pilot of the H-20. Let me introduce it to you. Our bomber has a maximum range of 18,000 kilometers without aerial refueling, and its maximum bomb load is 50 tons."

These two data are enough to shock the whole world!

The earth's equator is only 40,000 kilometers, and the range is 18,000 kilometers, which almost means it can fly half a circle around the earth, and this is without aerial refueling. If it comes to aerial refueling twice, it can fly a full circle around the earth!
This type of bomber can reach all over the world!

"We should know that these two data cannot be achieved at the same time. Can you tell us the data in normal use?"

"Under normal use, if it only carries 20 tons of ammunition, it can fly about 16,000 kilometers."

Sixteen thousand kilometers! And that’s round trip!
If we fly 12,000 kilometers and drop the bomb, we can still fly another 5,000 kilometers back! At this time, we just need to arrange an aerial refueling tanker for an aerial refueling!
"What if it's fully loaded with ammunition?"

"With a fifty-ton bomb load, the range will be shortened to about twelve thousand kilometers."

Twelve thousand kilometers, is it out of reach?

of course not!

These fifty tons of ammunition can all be loaded with cruise missiles, which have a range of two to three thousand kilometers! This means that the bomber can launch cruise missiles at a distance of ten thousand kilometers and then return. After dropping fifty tons of cruise missiles, the bomber can still fly at least three thousand kilometers on the return trip, and then continue to rendezvous with the aerial refueling aircraft.

It goes without saying what this bomber is used for!

"Okay, thank you pilot for the detailed data you provided us. Now, let's take a closer look at this aircraft!"

In front of the TV, Qin Tao watched Zhang Zhong's introduction.

"This is quite watery!"

The maximum load capacity was said to be 50 tons instead of 45 tons, which is not a big deal. The key point is the range, which was increased from 12,000 to 18,000, which is a bit outrageous.

Our Eastern aviation engine technology has not actually reached the first-class level. Although the thrust has been achieved and the weight has been reduced, the fuel consumption will always be higher, so the range will also be reduced.

The American B2 can only fly kilometers, while ours can fly kilometers. Isn't this a bit too much? Will the Americans believe it?
"The engine used in our bomber is the same as that of the H-6K, but it uses four engines. Since we don't pursue supersonic flight capabilities, there is no afterburner, which reduces its own weight. However, the main reason why we can fly so far is that we have a high fuel capacity. The maximum take-off weight of our bomber is 280 tons..."

It seems that Zhang Zhong also knows how to make the information sound true. If he only said that the voyage was long, people might still doubt why it was so far or whether it was exaggerated.

Now the mystery is revealed: our bombers can fly farther, of course, because of the addition of water to flour, and flour to water! Our bombers have a maximum take-off weight of nearly 300 tons, and they are filled with a lot of oil!
With a bomb load of 50 tons and a deadweight of 80 tons, the plane can also carry 150 tons of fuel!

Don’t say that it can’t hold enough space. The biggest feature of a flying wing bomber is that it can hold a lot of fuel. The fuel can be loaded inside the two wide wings!

How big is the B2 bomber? Its maximum take-off weight is only tons, which is more than tons less than the Eastern bombers!
"After takeoff and climbing to cruising altitude, we will shut down two engines and use only two engines for cruising flight, which can further save fuel..."

"Our H-096 has finally been unveiled. Next, it's time for our to be unveiled, right?" Qin Tao said.

Now is the time to show off our swords, and of course all kinds of weapons and equipment must be shown off!

The southern waters are the most suitable hiding place for Oriental ballistic missile nuclear submarines. During the exercise between the 002 aircraft carrier and the Siamese Navy aircraft carrier formation, a wet nuclear submarine suddenly surfaced from the water. A helicopter flew nearby and took pictures of the nuclear submarine. At the same time, a heroic female reporter took the microphone and began to introduce it.

"Dear viewers, I am currently above the exercise fleet in the southern waters. The weather is good today, so the big shark under the water came up to bask in the sun. What we are seeing now is the most advanced domestically produced Type 096 strategic missile nuclear submarine!"

"We can see that this nuclear submarine does not have the turtleback that is common in strategic missile nuclear submarines. This is because it has a huge diameter. Using our most advanced bending machine, this nuclear submarine can be made 13.5 meters in diameter, so that the ballistic missile can be fully accommodated in the hull. Now, let's introduce this ballistic missile."

Strategic missile nuclear submarine! The outside world only knows about the Eastern 092 nuclear submarine, which is small in size, noisy, carries a small number of missiles, and has a range of only more than kilometers. It only solves the problem of whether there is one or not, and has no practical significance.

096 is right in front of me, but what about 094?
No one knows, but just looking at the nuclear submarine in front of us, we know that the East is definitely not easy to mess with!
"The ballistic missile used by this nuclear submarine is the Julang-41, which is modified from the land-based Dongfeng-3 missile. It has a maximum range of 096 kilometers! The 24 nuclear submarine we saw can carry missiles, and each warhead can carry three sub-missile warheads."

Another 12,000 kilometers! For the East, this distance is of great significance!

"Now, let's talk about its displacement. Such a big thing must have a lot of displacement. Its surface displacement is 17,000 tons, and its underwater displacement is 24,000 tons! It may not be comparable to the Typhoon-class nuclear submarine, but compared with the strategic nuclear submarines of other countries, it still has many advantages. Because the submarine has a large internal space, the living facilities for the crew are very complete, and there is a swimming pool..."

In a short period of time, the East announced a second killer weapon that the outside world had never known about: the 096 nuclear submarine!
The entire plan was kept secret, and the outside world was unaware of it until it was put into service. This was of course because its underwater silence was too strong!

Just three such submarines are enough to ensure the completeness of the second-strike nuclear force!
One for duty, one for round trip, and one for repairs, three are enough! How many Orientals are there?

No one outside knows, just like the 092 nuclear submarine, all the outside world observes is 406, but internally, they distinguish between 406A, 406B, and then C, D, etc.

However, they can analyze it. Mingzhou Group suddenly gave the contract to build conventional submarines to other brother factories. Their submarine production plants have been producing nuclear submarines for the navy. At the rate of one submarine per year, that means fifteen submarines in total!

Ten attack nuclear submarines and five strategic nuclear submarines, this is a conservative estimate!

The 096 nuclear submarine finally appeared before the world, and then relevant units re-ranked the top ten advanced nuclear submarines in service in the world, and the 096 nuclear submarine ranked first.

Originally, this position was occupied by the Americans' Ohio-class nuclear submarines, but now, the Ohio-class submarines have to stand aside!
The Ohio-class is just a strategic nuclear submarine developed by the Americans in the late 1970s. Its full load displacement is only 18,000 tons, and it uses an ordinary propeller at the back. How can it be compared with Eastern nuclear submarines?

Look at the photo, the huge pump-jet propulsion at the tail is the most advanced submarine power in the world! The key is that this pump-jet propulsion is not connected to the front with a transmission shaft, it is the most advanced shaftless pump-jet propulsion!

American technology has long been outdated, and now the most advanced technology is in the East!

There is also information beginning to reveal the problem of counterfeiting of American steel over the years. These nuclear submarines are all made of substandard steel, and in terms of actual combat capabilities, they cannot be compared with Eastern submarines!

Once 096 comes out, who can compete with it?

Some people even began to speculate that since the 096 is available, should the most advanced nuclear-powered attack submarine in the East be the 095? What are the technical indicators of this nuclear submarine?
Dongfang did not announce it. In their eyes, the 095 is no longer powerful and is not worth singleing out.

The shock of 096 has not yet passed, and Dongfang has launched a third killer weapon.

Hua Ting Hotel.

"Dear journalists, don't worry, our experts will be here soon!"

Countless reporters gathered in Banquet Hall No. 1, looking at the newly decorated podium and communicating with each other.

"Hey, Chris, do you know what project the Orientals are going to announce?"

"I don't know. Since they chose to announce it here, it might just be ordinary business news."

"How can it be ordinary? Everything the Orientals announce is quite shocking. This time they are announcing a new project, which must be a groundbreaking event!"

"Hey, it seems someone is coming!"

Finally, an old expert came out.

"Hello, journalists! Our expert has finally arrived. Next, let him announce the latest scientific research results to you!"

"Hello, everyone." The old expert looked at the people present and said, "Since the 1980s, we have discovered the threat of stealth aircraft. As radar experts, we are very unwilling to accept this, so we have been studying how to counter stealth. Now, we have finally achieved research results, which is to use meter-wave radar to counter stealth aircraft!"

The people below were shocked.

"Meter-wave radar can indeed detect stealth aircraft, but its accuracy is insufficient. How can this problem be solved?"

"Even if the meter-wave radar finds the stealth aircraft, the air defense missiles cannot lock onto the target. What should we do?"

The following questions immediately began.

"Yes, these issues are the most critical, so we devoted ourselves to research and finally found a way to improve accuracy by cooperating with multiple radars. As long as we deploy three missile positions with meter-wave radars in the relevant air defense areas, we can improve the accuracy to within ten meters."

There was an uproar below.

An accuracy of ten meters is certainly enough. After all, the killing radius of many air defense missiles can reach more than twenty meters. This means that the Eastern anti-stealth aircraft equipment does not need a special target illumination radar or an active seeker. It only needs to use command guidance to make the missile fly to the target!
"What if there's electronic interference nearby?"

"My journalist friend, you are probably an outsider when you say that. Stealth aircraft operations are usually not accompanied by electronic jammers, because this would expose the existence of the stealth aircraft. It's like a thief sneaking into someone's doorstep and then beating drums and gongs!"

The others burst into laughter.

"Besides, if there is an electronic jammer, it will be even simpler. We will kill the electronic jammer first. Our specialized surface-to-air anti-radiation missiles have a range of 400 kilometers. I don't believe any electronic jammer can escape."

An electronic jammer cannot fly at ultra-low altitudes, as the jamming effect will be too poor. It can only have a good jamming effect if it flies at a normal altitude of several thousand meters. It has no defensive power and can only rely on electronic jamming for protection. However, in front of specialized anti-radiation missiles, it will be a definite gift to its head!
“How many experiments have you conducted?”

"I have no comment on this. We can only say that no matter how stealthful the aircraft is, it will not be able to escape our search. If any stealth aircraft dares to intrude into our airspace, it will be hit head-on!"

Are stealth aircraft very powerful? Here, stealth aircraft are nothing but trash, we will fight as many as we can!

"Excuse me, since you have made this technology public, aren't you afraid that others will imitate it?"

This is also the biggest question in everyone's mind.

The East has the strongest advantage in stealth aircraft. They have sold stealth aircraft all over the world. Now, why are they starting to announce anti-stealth aircraft technology? What does this mean? Is it contradictory?

of course not!

"To combine the signals of the three meter-wave radars and ultimately calculate the target with an accuracy of ten meters, a special algorithm is needed. We have spent eight years researching the algorithm alone to develop this technology."

The electronic technology in the East is the most advanced, and it took eight years to research! Do others want to copy it?

The most we can do is to use meter-wave radar to detect stealth aircraft. This is actually not a secret. The key is how to accurately locate them to the point where missiles can be used to attack them!
"At the same time, this requires advanced computer technology, and only the top ten supercomputers in the world can calculate it."

It won’t work if the hardware is not up to standard!

Dongfang has the most advanced Loongson computers, so computing power is not a problem. The world's tenth-ranked American supercomputer needs to occupy an entire floor of a building, but here in the East, perhaps an ordinary cabinet is all that is needed.

Therefore, the East can mass produce and use it because it has computers with sufficient computing power, but others cannot!
What chip is used on it? Loongson 5 or Loongson 6? In short, it is definitely the world's leading chip.

We are announcing it now just to tell the outside world that we have the capability and that stealth aircraft pose no threat to us! If some people want to take risks, then let’s give it a try!

"Can you demonstrate it?"

"Demonstration? The technical indicators of the products we publish at Dongfang have never been exaggerated. If we say we can do it, then we can definitely do it. We don't need proof!"

Just so domineering!

This news quickly spread around the world. The East has the most advanced stealth bombers and the most advanced anti-stealth technology! These are not exported!
