Afghanistan A catastrophic 6.1-magnitude earthquake occurred recently. The Baktika Province in southeastern Afghanistan is the most severely affected area. An unknown number of people are still trapped and buried under the rubble. The ruins are mostly made of mud. These simple houses cannot withstand the damage caused by earthquakes. The earthquake is said to have killed more than 1,000 people and injured at least 1,500. This is the most serious earthquake that Afghanistan has experienced in only 20 years. The Afghan government has asked for international assistance to assist with rescue efforts.

China immediately provided emergency humanitarian assistance of 50 million yuan to Afghanistan to assist Afghanistan's relief work. This move fully demonstrated China's responsibility as a major country. It is worth noting that this time China dispatched the Y-20 transport aircraft to Afghanistan to transport supplies. Two Y-20 transport aircraft urgently transported hundreds of tons of disaster relief materials to Afghanistan to assist in the rescue, and the fuselage painting of the transport 20 It has also become a more advanced low-visibility painting, and its appearance can be said to be instantly improved. This is the fifth time that the Y-20 has gone abroad to perform transportation missions. Previously, when the Russia-Ukraine war was in full swing, China had successively dispatched 6 Y-20 transport aircraft, flying directly around half the world to the European country Serbia to deliver door-to-door orders to customers. of Chinese weapons and successfully completed the transportation mission across thousands of kilometers. The transportation of materials to Afghanistan once again proved to the outside world the powerful strength of the Y-20 transport aircraft.

It can be said that the Yun-20 has formed a complete combat capability after being delivered to the troops, and is fully capable of long-distance transportation tasks at home and abroad. Compared with other countries that are far away from Tonga and Serbia, where the Yun-20 flew previously, Afghanistan is relatively close to our country. After all, the two countries still have some bordering areas. The flight distance from China to Afghanistan is more than 1,000 kilometers at most, which is more than enough for the giant Y-20.

Judging from the videos and photos released by CCTV media, the Yun-20 has taken certain precautions. Both sides of the Yun-20 fuselage are filled with interference bombs , all of which are red-marked thermal interference bombs, to prevent possible attacks at any time. A heat-seeking anti-aircraft missile with a heat signal as large as a four-jet transport aircraft can easily be locked by an anti-aircraft missile. The only way to avoid the incoming enemy missile is to scatter interference bombs. After all, Afghanistan is not absolutely peaceful. There are also a large number of portable shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles scattered among Afghan people and localities. These are weapons left over from the years of war in the previous era. Therefore, to be on the safe side, load up on heat decoys and take adequate precautions. It is also understandable.

Since there are no large-scale long-range radar-guided air defense missiles in Afghanistan, most of them are shoulder-mounted infrared tracking air defense missiles. The attack method of this missile relies on tracking and striking the infrared heat source emitted by the aircraft. A large number of infrared heat decoys can be used to spread decoys with high infrared characteristics at the moment the aircraft is attacked, deceiving the infrared seeker of the air defense missile, causing it to track the wrong target and detonate.

Of course, this is not the first time that the Y-20 has been loaded with decoy bombs during an overseas mission. The previous 6 Y-20s that went to Serbia for transportation missions were also filled with jammer bombs, but the types of jammer bombs they carried were different, including defensive infrared bombs. There are heat decoys for anti-aircraft missiles and chaff interference bombs for defending against enemy medium and long-range anti-aircraft missiles. Mainly taking into account the situation in Europe at the time, there was a war between Russia and Ukraine, and the Eurasian countries along the route were equipped with large medium- and long-range air defense missiles, which entailed considerable risks and uncertainties, so more types of interference bombs were brought. The infrared jamming bombs carried have a good decoy effect on infrared seeker air defense missiles, but have no effect on missiles launched by the heavy ground air defense system , mainly because the latter are guided by ground radar or missile radar. With seeker guidance, this missile relies on the aircraft's RCS (radar reflection signal) to determine the target's location and track and strike. At this time, the aluminum foil jamming bomb it carries can play a role. This jamming bomb can ensure the release of more RCS signals. Deceive the radar of heavy anti-aircraft missiles, causing them to miss the target.

It can be said that through these two foreign missions, the assembly of jamming bombs was set based on actual combat flights, which also reflects the professionalism of our military in related tasks. Huniu believes that the People's Liberation Army's Yun-20 flight is close to actual combat, showing the strength of China to the outside world. It not only trains the troops' ability to fly in actual combat, but also provides help for Afghanistan to solve the current crisis. China's Y-20 aircraft fleet has assisted Afghanistan and has received widespread praise from the international community, especially developing countries, and has brought positive results to my country's improvement of its international reputation and positive influence.
