The only new bomber in the United States in 34 years, B21, has been unveiled on December 3, Beijing time. This new generation strategic bomber , which is regarded by the US military as "threatening China" and deterred the PLA from force to Taiwan, made Western world boil, and believed that it could offset the PLA's regional denial capability and crack down on the PLA's local advantages in the Taiwan Strait and near the sea.
But is this true? If this bomber is so powerful and has absolute advantages in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, why does the United States hide its trump card instead of making it public? In the final analysis, this new bomber is just an smoke bomb released by the United States, just a bluff. As long as the Chinese H20 has not been unveiled, this new American bomber will not dare to reveal its true colors.
According to media reports, the US Air Force and Grumman recently officially announced the B21 new generation stealth bomber, named "Raider". From this name, you can feel the deterrence of the United States. Because the implication of "raid" is "surprise, attack it unprepared", and it is hard to defend.
The United States held a grand unveiling ceremony for this new stealth bomber in the 21st century. The location was chosen at the Parmdale factory in California. From the entire debut ceremony, it can be seen that this emerging B21 bomber is a reduced version of B2. The reason why it is defined as a reduction is because the previous B2 bomber was too expensive and too expensive, and it could not achieve the purpose of mass production at all. Moreover, the R&D funding is too expensive and not cost-effective. So far, the number of B2 bombers in the United States is only 21, which can illustrate the problem.
If it were the case before, the United States did not need to emphasize quantity, but just reveal the name of the B2 bomber, which can shock the world and achieve the goal of becoming the king. But now it is different. China has caught up with it. The H-20 can even compare B2 bombers. The United States feels a strong sense of crisis, so it accelerates the development speed of B21 bombers and even reduces the magnitude to achieve the ultimate mass production capability.
However, judging from the entire debut process, the United States did not show the confidence that the new generation of strategic bombers was born, and he wished the whole world would worship it. Instead, he carefully hid his trump card. What trump card is the specific data of the B21 bomber. All parameters and details about the B21 bomber are classified as confidential and will not be announced to the outside world. From these aspects, the United States' fear of China can be seen.
In the past, the United States did not have to worry about other countries being able to create such black technology, but the hidden hiddenness of China's H-20 project has made the United States always worried. On the one hand, it is worried that China's H-20 will debut early, covering the limelight of the emerging US bombers. On the other hand, it is worried that when its B21 bomber debuts, the specific data will be known to China and used on the H-20, so it hides its trump card.
In a public interview with the media, senior U.S. military officials said, "The B21 project has been going on for many years. If the H20 is debuted before it will be an extremely embarrassing political disaster for the US president and the US military." From this speech by the US military, we can see the United States' subtle little thoughts, in an arms race with China, for fear that the emergence of the H20 will overwhelm the limelight of the B21. The reason why many parameters are hidden is actually for convenience. After the H-20 is released, the United States can further modify the parameters and then compare them with the H-20.
This is the "burden" of the United States' major power. After being strong for so many years, he is unwilling to fall behind, so he accelerated the launch of this new strategic bomber. China does not mean an arms race with the United States. It just follows the steps and follows its own plan. When the time is ripe, it will appear on the H20. Moreover, the appearance of the H20 must be related to the situation in the Taiwan Strait, and it is not as eye-catching as the United States and seeks an arms race.
Speaking of the situation in the Taiwan Strait, another reason why the United States has not announced the specific parameters of the new B21 is the situation in the Taiwan Strait. Because the strategic vision of this new bomber of the United States is to deal with the situation in China, especially in the Taiwan Strait.This can be reflected in the speech of US Air Force Secretary Kendall.
Kendall said, "The purpose of the US B21 bomber is to deter China, because its biggest advantage is 'asymmetric combat', especially when the PLA is unaware of the situation, it can place torpedo on Taiwan Strait to prevent the PLA from landing on the PLA's beaches. It can also perfectly offset China's regional denial ability, and even gain a subtle advantage in the comparison of China-US military power."
Obviously, this US general is thinking too much, because now the initiative of unifying the Taiwan Island is in the hands of mainland China, and China and the United States are playing games. China emphasizes grand strategies and gradually refines and enriches the situation of Taiwan. The H-20 may have been developed long ago, and it will be waiting for the critical moment to give a fatal blow. The United States and China have one thing in common, that is, pragmatism, but the United States' pragmatism likes to show off too much, but they don't know that low-key is the king!
