"At present, our main energy should be to develop the air force and navy, so that we can defend our territory..." Li Xiangyang suddenly said.

The meaning is very obvious. The J-10 troops are currently the top priority.

What happened in the East China Sea made everyone in the military breath. Why did the Americans conduct military exercises at the door of China?

It is because the combat radius of Chinese fighter jets is too small, and China's navy is not good.

When the navy's warships have not developed, the air force must be prioritized.

The military leaders are aware of the performance of the J-10 fighter jet this time. The super strong air stagnation ability, flexible excitement, and excellent combat capabilities can make the naval aviation troops' combat capabilities roll upwards.

At the same time, this is also in line with the national strategic defense strategy.

"So, the J-10 is very urgent. However, based on the performance of the H-20 this time, we should install this strategic bomber, and this bomber has a considerable deterrence ability for threats from the sea..." Li Xiangyang suggested.

Many senior military officials believe this, and supporter Li Xiangyang's opinions.

In their opinion, this type of bomber is mainly used to deter large surface ships, and once war begins, it can play a very important role.

"There are already 24 aircraft, which is enough. Although we have the production capacity of imitation and have improved a lot of performance for this kind of bomber, there is no need to carry out large-scale equipment. 24 aircraft are divided into three fleets, and each fleet can guarantee a certain deterrence ability..." Liu Yijiu knew that the above big shots must have wanted to install this kind of bomber on a large scale.

The current bombers in China are mainly master bombers such as the H-6.

The combat radius is too short and the ammunition load is too small.

The H-20, which came from the imitation map-22M, is much more advanced than the H-6, and has air refueling capabilities. This can completely expand the combat radius to 3,000 kilometers, and even be equipped with a cruise missile with a longer range, which can reach 4,000 or 5,000...

Just like the UK, the Vulcan bomber is not very good, with a short range, and under the refueling of the air tanker, it can still bomb Argentina across the Atlantic Ocean.

"24 aircraft are not enough, our land area is too large..." The military boss didn't care at all.

Too small quantities can't be used.

The combat radius and ammunition load of the H-6 cannot be compared with the H-20. The military has always hoped to improve national defense strength, especially in defense. Such opportunities are naturally not to be missed.

For the current PLA, the H-20 is already very advanced.

"It's totally enough, and there are even a little more! In fact, the main combat mission of these fighter jets is to target surface ships. Not to mention that war is not very likely, even if there is war, there is no need to equip too much!" Liu Yijiu was very determined in this regard.

From the beginning, I never thought about equipping this kind of fighter jet.

"With the current development of naval technology, the leaders of our 052 destroyer should be familiar with it. How strong is the defense? The US frigates and destroyers are much higher than ours. There is basically no possibility of using high-speed penetration..." Liu Yijiu knew what these big guys were thinking.

When the backfire first appeared, it did pose a great threat to Europe and the United States.

Even this exercise achieved this goal.

However, the big guys didn't know at all that it was deliberately letting go by the American fleet, and they were also deliberately trying to catch the Americans off guard.

As long as you react, these bulky bombers with no air-to-air capability and speeds that can exceed Mach 2 are not likely to be close to the US fleet, and they will even be shot down by air-to-air missiles carried by carrier-based fighters at a long distance, or by their ship-to-air missiles.

An important direction for the aircraft carrier fleet is air defense capabilities.

"Didn't we conduct a breakthrough against the US aircraft carrier fleet this time?" Li Xiangyang really thought so.

Not only him, but other bigwigs also think so.

"If we had an aircraft carrier fleet during the war, would our commander let the enemy bombers approach us for the safety of the fleet? Moreover, the aircraft carrier fleet also has reconnaissance aircraft in the air, which can be discovered hundreds of kilometers away..." Liu Yijiu sighed.

The big guys only see the surface.

This is also why the Soviets eventually gave up the equipment Tu-22M, a war bomb development that once posed a great threat to the US fleet, and instead developed their aircraft carriers.

"If used to equip the Zhang Lue Air Force, this kind of bomber is even worse than that of old turboprop engines, such as the Soviet Tu-95. Although it is slow, at least fuel-efficient, has a long range, and can also have a larger bomb load." Liu Yijiu could not allow these bigwigs to equip this strategic bomber on a large scale in China that is not in line with future national defense.

"What's more, although we already have the ability to imitate, we don't have a production line. If we want to produce, we must re-manufacturing the production line and build supporting factories... Do we have so much money to invest in this?" Liu Yijiu's voice made all the big guys fall into deep thought.

Not only is the combat capability not as good as they imagined, but even the cost is unbearable to PLA.

A lot of money is spent, but it cannot have a huge effect.

"What's more, this kind of strategic bomber does not meet future operations. In the future, the development of fighter jets requires stealth performance. The US F117 is a typical design..." If it weren't for the appearance of Liu Yijiu, the myth of F117's undefeated will have to wait for many years.

"Comrade Liu, F117 is almost wiped out on the Iraqi battlefield. It is expensive and has not outstanding stealth performance. Do we need to invest huge amounts of money in it?" Qi Hao asked Liu Yijiu with a frown.

The military has always longed for stealth fighter jets when they knew about them.

But when the Gulf War was in progress, when I saw Iraq beat all the strategic bombers with some conventional means that the unit weight could be almost comparable to gold, I began to doubt the development direction of the United States.

Stealth fighter jets cannot truly achieve stealth. Stealth paints, etc. can still be detected with meter wave radars.

"This is a special situation in the Iraqi battlefield. Although the US stealth bomber formation was almost wiped out, there are big exceptions. Ordinary radars cannot be discovered, and the Iraqi capital has the most stringent air defense firepower network in the world... Fallujah, other Iraqi cities were bombed by such stealth fighters, but there was no early discovery..." Liu Yijiu could not explain that Iraq ruined the US stealth fighter because they intervened.

After this, the development of stealth fighter jets will be greatly restricted, especially the F-22 stealth fighter jets, which have been leading the world for more than twenty years or even more.

"This has nothing to do with equipment H-20, right?" You Chengfeng also didn't understand.

Why did Liu Yijiu have to object so much on this?

"We don't have much funding. We can even conduct research on strategic bombers like the Tu-160 as a reference for our future technological development, and not too much equipment. With the development of science and technology and stealth, this is a major trend, and there is another direction, which is high-altitude high-speed fighter. The bottleneck that limits the development of high-altitude high-speed fighter now is the material problem and the limit that the pilot's body can withstand... Once these breakthroughs are made, the fighter can penetrate at a speed of more than Mach 3 and fight at a higher speed, and the missiles cannot catch up with it..." Liu Yijiu's imagination made all the big shots stunned.

However, he did not explain. After all, it would take a long time to wait, that is, the stealth fighter developed to a bottleneck, and the equipment technology of various things has made many breakthroughs, the pilot's physical limits have been broken, and humans will only have it after the development of the aerospace field.

Of course, for stealth fighter jets, the ultra-high speed of drones is also a development direction.

"What should we do if we don't have equipment? Do we endure it like this every time we encounter something like this?" Qi Hao asked Liu Yijiu, "If you have more advanced bombers, we have more choices, it's not that right?"

"Actually, we don't need offensive forces now. We just have strategic defense, and we don't need too many bombers at all. Moreover, peaceful development of the world is the main theme of the future. Americans cannot fight with us, and they can't afford to fight!" Liu Yijiu sighed. "It's not a bad thing to wait for a while. How long has it been since the Dragon Guard to the imitation of the J-11? We have no equipment and the country has not been invaded, right?"

No matter what, Liu Yijiu disagrees with letting the military equip such bombers on a large scale.

For him, instead of investing funds in this, it is better to equip several more J-Ten, which can last for at least twenty years or even longer.

After all, light fighter jets like J-10 have been installed in China until the first decade of the 21st century, and have become the main equipment of the Air Force in the second decade.

The Tu-22M counterfire bomber, although advanced than the domestic one, is still a little behind the world.

What are you doing with so much equipment?

There are more than twenty aircraft, which is enough. It's almost done. When the war starts, they encounter the enemy's fleet. These fighters are hung with sunburning missiles and are thrown away hundreds of kilometers away...
