With the launch of the domestically produced 001A aircraft carrier, China's second domestically produced 002 aircraft carrier has also started construction in full swing. The aircraft carrier independently developed by China has long been closely watched by Western countries. According to the analysis of US think tank , China's new aircraft carrier has a displacement of nearly 100,000 tons, and the displacement alone has surpassed the current Kuznetsov in Russia. At the same time, the 002 aircraft carrier will also adopt a direct deck and ejection takeoff, and its overall combat performance is comparable to that of the retired Kitty Hawk-class of the US military.
The only regret that 002 aircraft carrier has the nuclear power that everyone hopes for, as well as electromagnetic catapult . Currently, China is the second country in the world except the United States to fully master electromagnetic catapult technology. The reason why nuclear power estimation is not used on the 002 aircraft carrier is the main reason why nuclear power technology is not yet mature. Due to the imperfect nuclear power technology of the French Charles de Gaulle, it is equipped with the nuclear reactor on the nuclear submarine. The insufficient power has caused the speed of this type of aircraft carrier to be far inferior to that of the US Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, which is quite like a small horse pulling a big car.
Early warning aircraft serves as a mobile command post in air combat, and it uses an important strategic position. The carrier-based early warning aircraft is an important factor in improving the early warning and strike capabilities of the aircraft carrier formation. It can be said that with the carrier-based early warning aircraft, the party will fully grasp the direction of the war. Chinese Air Force early warning aircraft has undergone years of independent research and development, and its performance is already world-class.
At the same time, China has long been developing the carrier-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft. At present, this technology is only owned by the US military. That is to say, once China's carrier-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft is successfully put into service, China will truly become the world's second naval power. This technology is not yet mastered by Russia, which inherits most of the assets of the Soviet Union.
The ship's fixed-wing early warning aircraft cannot take off on a ski jump flight ply due to the large fuselage weight, and the China 002 aircraft carrier provides a platform for the fixed-wing early warning aircraft to board the ship. Russian "Military Industry Messenger" published an article saying that China Aviation Industry Corporation tested the Air Guard -600 carrier-based early warning aircraft at Xi'an Yanliang Airport. It appears to be a D-27 engine produced by Ukrainian motor Sichi .
Russian media pointed out that Ukraine has helped China this time. This type of engine is currently the only paddle fan engine put into use in the world. This engine can shorten the takeoff distance of the Chinese Air Guard 600 early warning aircraft. At that time, China's 002 aircraft carrier equipped with Air Guard 600 will be upgraded to a new level and can shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted by the Chinese Navy. US Pentagon Sources pointed out that China's arms development in recent years has far exceeded the US military's predictions, which has also led the US military to make many irreversible strategic mistakes.
