The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1025 Anti-Stealth Radar

Are fourth-generation fighter jets scary?

Terrible!
The super stealth makes the fourth-generation fighter difficult to detect and attack. With its superior stealth performance, the fourth-generation fighter can easily attack the target, but the radar cannot detect it. Even the radar cannot detect it, let alone use the air defense missile system to shoot down the fourth-generation fighter.

In addition, it can cruise at supersonic speeds and has extremely strong maneuverability, which makes the fourth-generation fighter like a door-kicker. It can destroy the enemy's radar positions and air defense missile positions in the first wave of attack, and can also raid important military targets.

It can be said that there is a generation gap between the fourth-generation fighter jets and the third-generation fighter jets.

The third-generation fighters are often shot down by the fourth-generation fighters before they can even detect them.

Because although the third-generation fighter jets are equipped with advanced radar and optoelectronic equipment, they cannot detect the fourth-generation fighter jets. The fourth-generation fighter jets can detect the third-generation fighter jets from a distance and then launch beyond-visual-range attacks.

So far, the most terrifying thing about the fourth-generation fighter jets is not anything else but their stealth!
The stealth of the fourth-generation fighter jets can make people blind and deaf, and put them in a passive position and be scolded.

This also means that if there is a radar that can detect stealth aircraft, the threat of stealth aircraft will be greatly reduced.

For military powers, once an aircraft is discovered, they can use anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down the stealth aircraft. No matter how fast the stealth aircraft is, it cannot be faster than an anti-aircraft missile.

Especially the latest "Aegis" air defense missile system, the maximum speed has reached Mach 15, no matter how fast the plane is, it cannot be faster than a missile.

China's current air defense system has formed a multi-layered air defense system. The core of the air defense system is composed of the "Aegis" air defense missile system, which can launch various types of missiles at low altitude, medium altitude, high altitude, short range, medium range and long range. These missiles with different performances complement each other and form a multi-layered air defense barrier. The "Aegis" air defense missile system can use as many as 8 types of missiles.

The Aegis air defense missile system has long, medium and short range and high, medium and low altitude defense combat capabilities. At close range, there are also 80-type self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft rocket launchers, etc. to form an air defense firepower network.

In addition, air interception is carried out by early warning aircraft, fighter jets, etc.

In addition to being able to change its trajectory, once the missile is detected by radar, it is not difficult for China's air defense system to shoot down the incoming missile.

The same goes for airplanes!
Once a stealth aircraft can be detected by radar, its deterrent effect will be greatly reduced.

After attending the delivery ceremony of the Type 093 attack nuclear submarine and the Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine, Liu Tao went to a radar factory under the Panshan Group. This radar factory specializes in the production of advanced radars, including land-based radars, base-borne radars, ship-borne radars, etc. It is a leader in China's radar field.

Liu Tao came here this time to develop an advanced radar system specifically for capturing stealth aircraft.

Half a month later, Liu Tao had mastered the radar system.

The reason why the time was so short was mainly because the original radar system itself was very advanced, and Liu Tao did not create it out of nothing.

If we develop it from the beginning, it will take a lot of time.

Liu Tao arranged for people to produce this radar system, and then deployed it in Beijing, Northeast China, the eastern coast, Southwest China and other places.

Not to mention the capital city, which is the political center, and no matter how much attention is paid to security, it cannot be overstated.

This direction is mainly the direction of Japan and South Korea. It is necessary to prevent the fourth-generation fighter jets from taking off from the Japanese and South Korean air force bases. As long as they are targeted, the stealth aircraft will be tracked throughout the process.

The eastern coastal area is because the eastern coastal area is China's developed economy and the most important economic corridor. The security of the eastern coastal area must be ensured. The main targets here are the US Air Force bases and aircraft carriers in the first island chain. In the southwest region, it is more important to protect the southwest region and super-large water conservancy hubs such as the Three Gorges Project.

It can be said that with this radar, the threat posed by the US F22 'Raptor' fighter jet will be greatly reduced if it is officially put into service and mass-produced.

According to Liu Tao's estimation, China's radar system had already been upgraded before the US F22 'Raptor' fighter jets were officially deployed in the Asia-Pacific region.

The relationship between air defense and aircraft is always like that between shield and spear.

There is no spear that is always the sharpest, nor is there a shield that is always the most indestructible.

When the opponent has the sharpest spear, the other side will also strengthen its own shield and develop a stronger shield.

Only Liu Tao had a golden finger and was able to build a solid shield in the shortest time. Otherwise, it would take China at least ten years to develop advanced anti-stealth radar.

Liu Tao's activation of the golden finger means that the effectiveness of the US investment of 280 billion US dollars in the development of the F22 fighter jet has been greatly reduced.

Despite this, China also wants to develop its own fourth-generation fighter jet.

What the United States has, China must also have, and even better.

After all, the fourth-generation fighter is a killer weapon. Whether to use it or not is one thing, and whether it exists or not is another.

With fourth-generation fighter jets, China has an advantage in air combat. With a large number of third-generation fighter jets, China has an advantage in the Asia-Pacific region.

In North America, things are getting ready for a big event, and the U.S. military, energy giants, and defense industry giants are popping champagne to celebrate.

The military budget prepared by the military will be as high as 2001 billion US dollars in the fiscal year 3700. The US military wants to make a big move, so it will be submitted after January 1, and then it will be confirmed in March.

The military endured nearly eight years of hardship before finally reaping the rewards. It was not easy at all.

Energy giants are also celebrating. The energy market has been sluggish in recent years. The demand for energy in the United States has increased significantly, and China's oil and natural gas imports have set new records every year. However, due to US intervention in the international energy market, prices have remained low, which has made American energy giants very dissatisfied.

Everyone wants to make money, after all, not all the money can be made by Wall Street and the Internet.

It is clearly a market economy, but they always interfere with the market.

Not to mention the military-industrial giants. What kind of life have they been leading in recent years? It makes them miss ten years ago. Although George H.W. Bush was unwilling to increase or even cut military spending at that time, he would find other ways to supplement the US military spending. The Gulf War made the military-industrial enterprises very fat.

In the past century, military orders have dropped significantly, causing great suffering to military enterprises. Many military enterprises even failed to hold on and went bankrupt.

After eight years of hard work, I finally made it.

Over the past eight years, Wall Street and the Internet have been partying, but behind the scenes are the silent cries of the military, energy, and military industry. The automobile industry has collapsed. Detroit has turned from a car kingdom into an abandoned place. One after another, American automobile companies have gone bankrupt, leaving only a few automobile companies that are too big to fail. However, they are completely uncompetitive in the world international market.

And now, everything seems to have ushered in an opportunity!
