Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh comprehensive upgrade
The Destroyer showed his edge in the first test. His perfect performance was transmitted by the General Staff and the Chief Assembling Officer. Several bigwigs of the Military Commission were very satisfied with the edited live video materials. Although this exercise showed that when used for ground attacks, the effect was not good in the face of harsh weather conditions and the distance was effectively discovered, it was precisely because of the severe test in this harsh climate that the excellent internal control mechanism of the Destroyer's latest target recognition system was undoubtedly revealed.
This is a product with good reliability. The two prototypes accurately identify the targets. Especially the military commanders knew that the actual position of the preset target was deliberately adjusted to the exercise base, which further highlighted that the Destroyer exercise was carried out completely at the closest to actual combat standards, which was even more rare.
All the bigwigs of the Military Commission know that they cannot be demanding on Company D. The distance between the Destroyer 1 and 2 is too short, because the old model of J7 is not an all-weather attack fighter, and it is not its strength in ground attack. On this basis, the Destroyer's ground attacks transformed from most avionics equipment are very limited, and it is already very rare to be able to do this step.
This proves that the solution of using the early model j7 to transform it into a ground attack is not suitable. In the future, the Destroyer, who mainly attacks the ground, will still transform the new model j7 produced in the future. Because the models from J7e later have made great improvements in this regard, both in terms of ammunition capacity and avionics, and are more suitable for ground attack after the transformation.
Several bigwigs of the Military Commission immediately made the decision that the Destroyer drone technology has matured and instructed the assembly to uniformly accept and deploy the transformation plan, and implement the assembly as soon as possible, adding a sharp offensive combat platform to the army.
In this context, the General Assembly and General Staff selected corresponding experts to form an acceptance team. They strictly reviewed the existing technical standards of Destroyer 1 and No. 2 and defined Destroyer 1 and No. 2 as Destroyer unmanned fighter jets. The ground attack type developed by D subsequently will be defined as Destroyer B.
After the finalization, the assembly required d to continue to improve the basics slightly from now on, and the first batch of production orders was to complete the transformation of 200 Destroyers within the year. Most of this group of Destroyers were equipped with the Navy and Navy troops. The HNA troops began to invest large-scale training and assembly, and it is expected to form combat power in a few months.
A small number of them are allocated to various military regions as seed instructor training for new aviation special battalions of the mainland aviation industry and tactical verification and evaluation of military regions, preparing for future ground attack training and assembly.
The Destroyer B, which has started to be transformed on a large scale from 201, plans to complete the upgrade and transformation of at least 00 Destroyer and 300 Destroyer B, and be equipped with HNA and Land Airlines to form combat effectiveness. By the end of 2019, the entire J7 aircraft in good condition in the inventory will be transformed and put into service, becoming another killer weapon for Land Airlines and HNA.
Since the original avionics hardware equipment was maintained as much as possible, the transformation cost of each Destroyer type was kept within RMB 5 million, meeting the initial cost requirement proposed by the assembly and adding production profits, the military paid at most no more than RMB 7 million in the transformation of a Destroyer type, and the total cost of transforming 2,000 to 2,500 Destroyers will not exceed RMB 20 billion.
This cost can create up to 100 third-generation fighter jets like J10, but don’t forget that J10 still needs excellent pilots to fly to exert combat power. The training cost of training a qualified combat pilot is as high as tens of millions of yuan, and the overall cost is much higher. The combat effectiveness against sea and ground may not be more than ten times the number, and the destruction who does not consider personnel safety and fatigue.
It is really worthwhile for the military to spend such an excellent combat platform at such a small cost, almost the price of a cruise missile.
For the army, with hundreds of destroyers, they will have sufficient confidence to deal with the land challenges of their surrounding neighbors, and have an overwhelming advantage in land aviation firepower. In addition, they can form a joint combat tactical system for the main battle tank, frontier Winghound or Jingwei UAV through data links to form a three-dimensional attack firepower. They can face the opponent's main battle tank or armed helicopter cluster without any pressure.
And it means even more to the navy. With at least a thousand Destroyer drones, the Japanese fleet would not expect to get close to our coast with a radius of 1,000 kilometers, otherwise the missile and Destroyer strike alone would be enough to kill them to ashes.
Of course, this is nothing. Entering the first decade of the new century, with the addition of two series of third-generation aircraft of the 052 series, and the j10j11 series, China's navy and air force began to surpass the Japanese in quantity and quality. Relying on the land-based missile forces that far surpassed the opponent, it was difficult to completely destroy the Japanese, but based on the shore-based power, the Japanese would inevitably have no return.
The most important thing is to fight against the intervention of American bases and aircraft carriers. Now with this new killer weapon, the navy has formed a Destroyer strike circle of more than 1,000 kilometers and a maximum of 2,000 kilometers. There are much more tactical choices than before, and the effect is more expected.
If a huge group of destroyers is dispatched, DF21 anti-ship type, submarine, J11b, Flying Leopard and other third-generation aircraft are deployed together to fight together, and one is determined to lose one in one fell swoop. It is not a fantasy that the formation headed by two aircraft carriers will be helpless, and it is not the same as before when it was deployed by the US aircraft carriers.
With the ability to carry one ton of multiple weapons, Destroyer B, you can choose from a variety of combat methods, such as carrying a 1,000 kilogram-level heavy laser-guided bomb. As long as two or three break through the air defense line of the US aircraft carrier and attack the aircraft carrier, it will be enough to severely damage and paralyze or even destroy it. Compared with heavy air-ground or air-ship missiles, carrying this heavy missile is more cost-effective for launching suicide attacks that have no return.
After all, the former requires several million yuan per unit, while the latter only costs hundreds of million yuan, with an order of magnitude difference. If the Destroyer is allowed to bring thousands of air-ground or air-ground missiles when launching an attack on the aircraft carrier formation, most of them may be shot down by the enemy's various air-defense firepower on the way, and it will be wasted in vain. The entire combat cost-effectiveness ratio is too low.
Therefore, the navy can completely simulate and speculate the opponent's air defense firepower situation. For destroyers who are rushing to the front, they can even bring nothing, or just bring a sufficient number of cheap **. If they escape the opponent's air defense firepower and attack the aircraft carrier or destroyer with a ton of aircraft weight, it is no less than a bombshell, but the price is even cheaper.
The second echelon mainly uses 1,000 kg laser-guided bombs or heavy aviation bombs. Carrying 1,000 kg laser-guided bombs such as "Thunder" 3, it can break through the air defense firepower and accurately throw it on the target. Even if only a few destroyers break through the defense line, this level of bombs cannot be resisted by destroyers or aircraft carriers.
Only the third echelon considers carrying expensive air-ground or air-ship missiles with long-range attack capabilities. With the precise calculation of the attack time, let the missile reach the target air almost at the same time as the Destroyer Cluster of the first and second echelons to form a saturated attack, which can greatly increase the probability of breaking through the opponent's air defense firepower. This tactic is relatively simple and easy to implement and the cost is controllable.
Of course, the premise is that there is an accurate early warning system to guide the Destroyer to launch an over-visual range attack. This work is handed over to the air early warning aircraft and the Global Hawk Chinese version of the "Shadow" drone that Duke is about to develop. After detecting the accurate position of the opponent, the Destroyer will launch a fatal blow.
For D, the military's order was a big deal. They did not have so many workers at all, nor did they have corresponding factories to dismantle and transform hardware, but Dong Feng was not worried about this problem at all.
Cheng Fei, Shen Fei, Guifei and other companies that used to produce J7 have ready-made production lines and have sufficient manpower and experience to do this. Especially Cheng Fei, their leaders have long watched this piece of fat. This time, the engineers sent to assist in the upgrade and transformation are not only of high-level and large-scale, but also everyone comes with tasks to summarize the experience gained from this upgrade and transformation and train them for large-scale transformation.
Therefore, on Dong Feng's side, the first batch of aircraft hardware transformation work was handed over to Cheng Fei to complete, while the electronic system and ground monitoring system were completed by D himself.
In 2017, those who are interested in the military will find that this year is changing with each passing day, with great explosions and great developments, and the army, navy and air force are constantly obtaining new and improved equipment.
The first thing to start was the Army's 99 series tank transformation work, followed by the war zone joint combat tactical system transformation, Jia Winglong and Jingwei unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and now it has basically been transformed and equipped with the seven major group armies. The remaining ten group armies will also complete the transformation according to this standard in the next year.
In this way, the main army's combat power has been transformed without realizing it. If hundreds of Destroyer B-type drones will be equipped in the next year, the army will be even more powerful. After completing the equipment of the Special Aviation Battalion of the Army, each main army will pull out to resist a heavy main armored division of the US military without any problem. As for the A San Army, well, A San who is cheating is always invincible, let's not mention it.
The changes in the Navy and Air Force are the same. The new aircraft engine Taihang 20 has been finalized, and the power of the third-generation and fourth-generation aircraft has been greatly improved by a certain level. However, the production and manufacturing capabilities have not been mentioned for a while and cannot be transformed on a large scale. However, after the combat power multiplier of the theater joint combat tactical system is equipped, the existing third-generation fighter is no less than that of any opponent in cluster combat capabilities.
Once the supply of new engines comes, the main fighter will be upgraded and replaced, and the new model of large shadow drone detection system invested at that time will be able to move sideways in Asia.
The Navy has also completed the replacement of the new joint combat tactical system of the theater. In terms of power drive, the two destroyers have been very successful in replacing the HNA test. Now the main nuclear submarines and new destroyers and frigates have begun to fully replace the Lotus reactor power. Once the nuclear power replacement is completed, it will strengthen almost unlimited power for these main systems of the Navy, not only can it save a lot of valuable ship space and install more weapons and equipment.
It can be said that the army, navy and air force are in an important process of comprehensive upgrading.
