The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1049 Air Power
Throughout the Spring Festival, Chinese people celebrate it happily and are full of joy.

As for CCTV International Channel's South Asian affairs special, which tracks the situation in real time every day and requires experts and scholars to participate in the discussion, in the eyes of most people, they are just spectators.

Because of the war, it's too far away!

The heads of the household are all fun-loving people. They carry small stools, eat melon seeds, and watch the show. But when it comes to watching the fun, they never think it’s too big to make things happen and they hope that things get bigger.

Some people are even looking forward to the arrival of S3 season.

This is the crowd of spectators! This is the people who have fun!

Some people even expressed compassion, saying that in war, politicians provide ammunition, the rich provide food, and the poor provide children.

Liu Tao has no intention of being a spectator; he has a lot of things to do.

In the northeast direction, there are people who specialize in doing things in this direction, and he is responsible for things in the south.

The second batch of Cambodian volunteers are resting in Phnom Penh. This second batch of Cambodian volunteers consists of 50,000 people, all of whom have experienced dozens of battles, been baptized by the fire of war, fought in wars, and seen dead bodies.

Cambodia did not give these 50,000 people a holiday, but instead allowed them to rest in Phnom Penh. The significance of this is self-evident.

而且总数5艘022型导弹艇、3艘022A型鱼雷艇、1艘‘高速布雷舰’装备柬埔寨海军。

The Type 919 minelayer, also known as the 'high-speed minelayer', is 105.7 meters long, 15.2 meters wide, has a draft of 4 meters, a standard displacement of 3300 tons, a full load displacement of 3550 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, a maximum endurance of 5800 nautical miles/16 knots, and is equipped with a highly sophisticated minelaying system that can accurately lay more than 500 mines at the target's coordinates and depth in a very short time. The minelayer has 8 openings and brackets at the stern, located below the helicopter deck, for deploying various mines, including moored mines, encapsulated mines, magnetic and acoustic mines.

The Cambodian and Lao armies strengthened their military deployment in the isolation zone and took a defensive stance. At the same time, the Polar Bear's Pacific Fleet Squadron in Cam Ranh Bay was closely watched.

After returning to Panshan Group, Liu Tao held a meeting, and all production bases and production lines under China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation were operating normally.

In the past, the productivity of the production line was actually not high.

With huge production capacity, it is impossible to keep weapons and ammunition forever, and production costs money.

But it’s different now, all production lines are in production.

Of course, it is not yet time to work in two or even three shifts. We will only need to work in two or three shifts when necessary.

Batches of arms were transported out either by train or by sea, while a small portion was transported by transport planes.

All the replaced Type 78 firearms were transported out.

A number of high-tech military equipment such as GPS equipment and satellite phones were also sent out.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Tao arrived in southern Tibet on a special plane.

An airport was built here in southern Tibet. This airport is a military airport.

At the military airport, thousands of people are undergoing training, flying K8 primary trainer aircraft, J-7 advanced trainer aircraft, J-7A advanced trainer aircraft, and "Eagle" advanced trainer aircraft. In two months, these pilots will fly military aircraft to fight the enemy. There are also 40 J-7 and J-8 series fighters parked here.

Up to now, there are no J-5 and J-6 fighter jets in China, except for a few places such as museums. All of them have been cleared out of inventory.

Even when exporting abroad now, they are the J-7 and J-8 series fighter jets.

The J-7 and J-8 series fighter jets are the main export products of Panshan Group.

The most advanced J-7A and J-8A fighter jets are second-generation and a half fighter jets, and are considered relatively advanced fighter jets internationally.

The early J-7 and J-8 models are second-generation fighter jets.

Whether it is the J-7 or J-8 series fighters, they are mainly used for national air defense and seizing air superiority on the battlefield front line, and can also perform ground attack missions. The technical characteristics of the J-7 series fighters are high altitude and high speed characteristics, light and flexible, low cost, high efficiency and simple use and maintenance. The J-8 series fighters are twin-engine high altitude and high speed interceptor fighters, which will be more prominent in national air defense and seizing air superiority.

As for ground attacks, it is actually mainly the JH-7, which is a fighter-bomber that mainly performs patrol and strike missions.

As for the FC-20, it is a second-generation and a half fighter jet specially exported to Pakistan, and China does not have it itself.

At this time, some pilots who had received training and passed the qualification test took off in J-7 and J-8 fighter jets and headed west. They would return to their country to defend their own skies, even though they were not considered excellent pilots.

In the afternoon of the same day, another batch of J-7 and J-8 modified fighters of the Air Force arrived at the air force base.

From now on, the early models of J-7 and J-8 fighter jets in China have completely disappeared, and only a few museums have them.

Even the August 7st performance team uses the latest models of J-8 and J- modified.

A large number of J-10 and J-11 fighter jets have been put into service, replacing the J-7 and J-8 fighter jets.

Currently, the Chinese Air Force is equipped with a total of 10 J-1000 series fighter jets and more than 11 J-500 series fighter jets, plus more than 14 F15, F16, and F27 fighter jets, and more than 1800 Su- fighter jets, totaling more than third-generation fighter jets, which constitute the main force of the Chinese Air Force today.

目前贵飞集团，年产运13飞机50架、年产运10飞机10架、年产歼10系列战斗机100架、年产歼11战斗机100架、年产雄鹰高教机50架、年产歼7系列高教机30架、年产‘雷雕’直升机300架、年产‘乌雕’直升机100架、年产‘海东青’无人侦察机20架、年产‘海鹰’舰载机50架.
Once a wartime state is adopted, the output will be even higher, doubling or even tripling.

This year, starting from New Year's Day, the atmosphere has changed, and further strengthening national defense has become a consensus among the top leaders.

With so many J-6, early models of J-7 and J-8 fighter jets retired, more advanced fighter jets must be replaced.

Air power. Since the Gulf War and the Kosovo War, the world's attention to air forces has increased by one or two levels, and China is no exception.

Without airspace security, there will be no national defense security, and there will be no people’s security!
Airspace is an integral part of sovereignty and cannot be ignored or violated!
The Guizhou Aircraft Industry Group continuously produces a lot of aircraft, some of which are delivered to overseas customers, but more are provided to the Air Force, Army Aviation and Navy!
Further strengthening air power has become an inevitable choice.

Because once a war breaks out, fighting for air supremacy on the battlefield will inevitably become the first choice of both sides. Whoever can gain air supremacy will gain an advantage on the battlefield.

Without air superiority, tanks and armored vehicles will be easily "opened", and ground forces will be suppressed by firepower from the air.
