China is trying to catch up with the US aircraft carrier and stealth fighters

China is trying to catch up with the US aircraft carrier and stealth fightersThe Carnegie Foundation Research Center (USA) 3 in May released a report entitled “2030. China’s military power and the US-Japan alliance, which says that in the next 15-20 years, the technological gap between China and the US in the construction of aircraft carriers and stealth fighters will be reduced.

With the increasing power of China’s manufacturing industry, this country could more sharply oppose Washington’s policies in the Asia-Pacific region, but the Carnegie Foundation is confident that China will not repeat the mistakes of the Soviet Union and become America’s global enemy.

The report states that China and the United States are very interdependent economically, so Beijing is unlikely to resort to military force, but the US hegemony will gradually decrease and a “balanced state” will be established in the future. Both countries will pursue policies that will not slide into the Cold War.

The status and role of Japan in the Asia-Pacific region deserve attention and discussion, the report says. After defeat in the Second World War, Japan became dependent on a military alliance with the United States. The growing power of China can even more closely unite the US-Japan military alliance. New Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has taken a tough stance against China, but the financial crisis and political paralysis may prevent Tokyo from pursuing such a policy. Some American politicians want Japan to invest more in the defense budget. The greatest danger in this region will be a possible transition to the military phase of the territorial dispute between Beijing and Tokyo. The Carnegie Foundation believes that China will try to avoid armed conflict.

Former US Ambassador to China John Huntsman said the Asian century has come and forecasts regarding the prospects for world politics should be based on the growth of China’s military power. Former commander of the pacific fleet US Admiral Blair said he did not completely agree with the conclusions of the report and noted that the interaction between China, Japan and the United States would determine the future of the Asia-Pacific region and the role of each of them.

      And in America, you might think that everything is perfect with the 5th generation? In the parallel branch, F-22 is just being discussed, he did not take part in any clashes, and I am generally silent about the F-35! Cut the century. So they will catch up sooner or later with such motivation, do not hesitate!

          China to catch up with the United States in terms of the number of combat aircraft without our engines will be so easy. And their engines have a small resource, so the Chinese will probably continue to practice copying and buy our engines.

      About Chinese military spending and modernization ..

      to enlarge click on the picture


      I sometimes get the impression that we often do not quite correctly understand the history and development of the PLA and the military-industrial complex of China, often comparing them with the development of the Soviet army and military-industrial complex of the USSR, etc. However, such comparisons are fundamentally wrong. After a century of military defeats, revolts, revolutions, unrest, civil wars, etc. The CCP took power in an extremely poor and torn country with a weak backward industry, etc. Even despite the very great Soviet assistance in the 1950s, the PRC still possessed a very modest military-industrial and scientific potential, in comparison with the USSR and other leading countries. The military doctrine adopted by the PLA at that time, with emphasis on a massive semi-guerrilla war, also actually reflected the country's military-technical base.
      The subsequent development was also extremely difficult, the "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" was very painful for the scientific, technical and industrial potential of the PRC, and then economic reforms began, which required a sharp reduction in government spending. This is often forgotten, but the costs of the PLA, the military-industrial complex, military development, etc. were heavily curtailed in the PRC in the 1980s and 90s, which had a very negative impact on many military projects launched in those years. In fact, only in recent years the PLA began to receive enough funds for the development of a modern army of this size, many military-industrial complex enterprises were modernized, etc. The renewal of the military equipment fleet is now proceeding at a rapid pace, but the PLA continues to be armed with a lot of very outdated equipment and its replacement will require an even greater increase in military spending and many years of work.

      The following chart with data from www.globalsecurity.org illustrates the increase in the official size of the PRC military budget from 1989 to 2012. Even taking into account the presence of hidden costs, this diagram shows well that a sharp increase in military spending began around the mid-2000s. In 2013, the defense budget increased by another 10,7% and amounted to 720,2 billion yuan, that is, approximately $ 116 billion.

      Do we officially declare war because Israel bombed Syria?) Are you joking, are you either stupid or naive. Warnings of this nature, if they occur, are only at the level of secrecy.

    What "reduction" are we talking about? The policy of the Chinese defense industry, since the beginning of the 20th century, has been aimed at unscrupulous copying of the equipment they purchased, bypassing any patents, agreements and contract conditions. They have neither scientific nor economic base to create their own technology. The scenario is simple: they buy fifth-generation fighters from us, roughly copy them, give their nomenclature designation, and so they "narrowed the technological gap."

    am Ji 20 is a wonderful 5th generation aircraft. Firstly, it is impossible to show requirements for a Su 30 aircraft as a Su 27. These are different types. Neither cruising supersonic nor super maneuverability are necessary for delivering covert attacks on Amer’s bases and ships. Ji 20 is not mass-size, but a full-fledged prototype. As a glider of a bomber fighter, he is excellent. Flies not bad. And when it comes to the series, they’ll put the afar and the 117 engines and a lot of other things. The 31 and su 27 are also promising in the stealth version (based on f 15 stealth). The fact that China will follow in the footsteps of the USSR is understandable, it cannot be otherwise. Amers should have a balanced policy if they do not want a new Cold War and it is not a fact that China will repeat the fate of the USSR, amers are not in the same situation as in Soviet times, too much shit lately.

    I don’t know how about the aircraft carriers. But with fifth-generation fighters, China is clearly an ambush. It would be nice if it cooperated with Russia as India (Bramos). And so, this is from the realm of fiction. Assumptions that the new Chinese stealth fighter is equipped with Russian engines, was confirmed by the general director of RSK "MiG" Vladimir Barkovsky. Engines account for more than 90% of all Russian exports of aerospace technology to China. “In the past two years, we have signed a major contract with China for several hundred additional AL-31F, AL-31FN and D-30KP2 engines. Deliveries are currently ongoing,” Kornev said. D-30KP2 are engines of Il-76 transport aircraft, the AL-31 family of engines - Su-27/30/34 aircraft and Chinese derivatives J-11. In addition, Russia supplied the AL-31FN series 3 engines with an increased resource, and then engines for the Chinese J-10 fighters.So, China will not be able to act as an independent manufacturer of LA 5-6 generation.

      laughing Well, at least two prototypes are Chinese Sun 10s and work great, and they have 500 kg more thrust. The sun 10a engine has recently been launched into a series, which means they have achieved acceptable performance. Then, if we buy Indian on-board computers for Su 35, this does not mean that we cannot do Su 35 on our own. The same is with the engines. China is working on its engines, it has allocated 10 yards of bucks for this program, and if it is possible to purchase our engines for now, it does it and it’s smart, why force events. And how is the cooperation between India and Russia different from the China-Russia cooperation. We are his engines, and he does not need the rest. This is called cooperation with maximum localization.

          am Are you sure that at least he was stealing from us, he legitimately bought licenses for a Kalashnikov assault rifle, su 27, btr 3 turret, gun for type 99 and much more. Another thing is that it’s cheap and giving bribes to our effective managers, well, that’s our problems. And then patent law is very complicated. Do we support our developments in the Chinese Patent Office? If there is an opportunity for a sucker to take something valuable, why not take it. Then Russia, to be honest, somehow impudently has appropriated all the developments of the USSR. And Ukraine, and Belarus and others can sell their share to China? And then we will lose the stigma ourselves, so that they could run into others. Here is an example of Amerov’s B-29, they made one-on-one, even a stand for Coca-Cola and nothing, normal

The Chinese bought a license for su 27 and the deck, in their opinion, is only a modification of su 27. And then they stole not from us but in Ukraine, if technology is so dear to us, then we did not buy Ukraine a prototype but at the same time and the Varyag’s case, and even that 160 is a shame when for Amer’s loot and under the knife.

    The opinion of the amateur. Of course, I can be mistaken (then correct), but why tear the ass into the footcloths in order to catch up and overtake the decaying imperialism, which is slowly rolling into the abyss. Why, nosebleeds, need to gallop to build a stealth plane? It may be better to create a good air defense system, for which this stealth light breakfast? At the current stage, this is entirely possible! And stealth becomes an expensive (very expensive) cannon fodder.
    Similarly with the enemy air defense system. The start of a supersonic (or hypersonic) rocket due to the radio horizon and the cuckoo arm. There is not enough flight time for a reaction.

        I read somewhere, the technology, now called stealth, was inadvertently invented by a Soviet engineer with a scientific mindset somewhere in the middle of the 20th century. It was not even technology, but a kind of reflection on the topic of the propagation of radio waves and their reflection, as a special case. Despite the fact that at all times we do not have a prophet in our own country, these thoughts were considered by learned men and military specialists in the most serious way. The conclusions were ambiguous: the idea is good, the direction is correct, but the effect is achieved only with a certain configuration and in a rather narrow spectral range. For the decimeter and meter ranges to create a technical sample, and even more so an airplane, is extremely difficult and even more costly. To cover all ranges of radar is not possible at all.
        The work of an engineer-scientist was released in a small brochure in a small print run. One copy accidentally came to the Americans (the pamphlet did not have a signature stamp), they did not philosophize crafty and got what was destroyed in Serbia by a complex as ancient as the world and costing several times cheaper than the F-117.
        Here is a story. Where is the truth here, and where is fiction everyone decides for himself!

          Coated optics are also related to stealth technology.
          In short, the lenses cover a thin layer of metal whose task is to reflect light in antiphase. Result: the light reflected from the glass and the light reflected from the coating are in antiphase, in other words, the reflected light (signal) is absent. Under this requirement, the coating material and coating thickness are selected.
          Naturally, this is where the problem comes from. Any radiation: light, radio waves (of any range), etc. - these are all quanta, have a wave nature and differ only in frequency.
          The difficulty is to create such a coating that will ensure the return of reflected signals in antiphase for all (any) frequencies. There are still details, but they cannot be explained on the fingers. At least without a bottle it's hard.

    Catching up with him, China, is unlikely to catch up, but at least it will keep warm. But seriously, after a decade, America will have to reckon with the interests of China not only in Asia but throughout the world, including in those regions that America has long considered its patrimony, for example, in the Strait of Hormuz. And for this, China does not need dozens of aircraft carriers at all. He and a few will be enough to sink one of two American aircraft carriers. Those. cause America such damage because of which it is unlikely to get involved in a war with China, but it will tighten its tail and die of its fervor.

      I don’t agree. If America begins, it doesn’t jump off and China does not intimidate it. It will fight until it is victorious. In the end, right up to vigorous strikes. The example of the Cold War is indicative. If the union failed to scare America, the Chinese would never do that. And even as the Chinese warriors did not show themselves even once. always under the heel.

        America, unlike China, has a notion of "acceptable level of damage" after which it is undesirable to continue the war. And the sinking of only one American aircraft carrier may well reach this level. Moreover, the Chinese will potentially be able to sink an American aircraft carrier in the near future, and they will be able to do this without their own Navy. A sudden strike of a pair of three ballistic missiles with homing heads (and China is developing such missiles with might and main) will be quite enough for this. They, the Chinese, will then show nobility, rescuing the sailors from a sinking aircraft carrier, the rescued with tears in their eyes will thank their rescuers, and the Chinese will make a surprised face, wondering where these missiles came from. On the other hand, America, for all its belligerence, is well aware that there is no limited nuclear war, and such a war, once begun, will end in disaster for everyone, including America. Therefore, the Americans will make noise, make noise, and they will subside. Also, Taiwan will be presented to China so that China does not "arise" anymore. Think I'm fantasizing? Not at all. Such scenarios have been discussed by military experts for a long time and experts come to the conclusion that these scenarios are quite real.

    the article has an intriguing topic and, to say the least, "stingy" of its disclosure. The fact that the PRC will expand its presence in ALL spheres is not known only to those who are absolutely not in the subject. The fact that he will do it VERY gradually is also a commonplace. China in general measures everything in VERY large numbers. And so is the time. So in due time he will catch up and overtake. In general, the article is not for a specialized site.
