I believe everyone still remembers the last time shipped 20 to Serbia . This is also the first time that the shipment has entered the hinterland of Central and Southern Europe. It can be said to be groundbreaking and demonstrates the excellent strategic transportation capabilities of the shipment. During the last flight, military fans discovered that the Y-20 was equipped with a lot of jamming bombs . After all, it is a military aircraft. When flying to unfamiliar airspace, you must be prepared to be prepared. Recently, the Y-20 was once again equipped with jammers, and aid supplies arrived at Kabul Airport. This time, the jammers were mainly infrared decoys, or the most common shoulder-resistant stinger anti-air weapons in Afghanistan.
According to public media reports, we saw two Y-20s arriving at Kabul Airport carrying disaster relief materials for Afghanistan. The first batch of materials included tents, towels, quilts, folding beds, etc. And at this airport, the embarrassment of the US military's evacuation has not been erased. The same transport aircraft , C-17 brought only pain, but the transport 20 brought peace and tranquility. It is true that superiority and inferiority are equal. Sentence. However, it is worth noting that this time the Y-20 is still equipped with interference bombs, but because the situation faced is different, it is not mixed this time, mainly red infrared decoy bombs.
Judging from the picture, this time the Y-20 infection bomb bay is still fully loaded, but it can be clearly seen from the color. This time, it is not mixed but only equipped with red infrared. Disruption bombs. According to the pictures from the last trip to Serbia, it was equipped with red infrared interference bombs and yellow interference chaff. This may also be related to the specific flight area. Once a situation occurs around Serbia deep into the hinterland of Europe, there will definitely be air defense weapons or air-to-air weapons with radar guidance method. At this time, multiple band jamming chaff are needed to effectively prevent it.
The situation is different in Afghanistan. After the US military leaves, it is difficult to have high-performance anti-air or air-to-air weapons. Instead, the most common ones are various shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft weapons left over from Cold War to the present. Among them, the American Stinger is the most common, which is basically the same as the RPG rocket launcher left over from the Soviet Union. When the aircraft takes off and lands at a low altitude, this advanced infrared individual air defense weapon can indeed produce a larger Impact.
For most shoulder-mounted individual air defense weapons that use focal plane infrared guidance, there is no doubt that infrared decoy bombs are the best way, and without mixing, the number of infrared decoy bombs carried is greatly increased. Looking at the details, the Zhongyun 20 in the picture this time also carries a cover for the jamming magazine. This also responds to some speculations by military fans last time. The appearance of the jamming magazine can be carried randomly after being loaded, and can be installed after landing. One is to prevent debris from easily being mixed in and affecting performance in areas with complex climate conditions, and it can also prevent people from sneaking away with ulterior motives. After all, it is difficult to watch this large transport aircraft from all angles at all times.
Speaking of large transport aircraft, this time the Y-20 happened to encounter the Airbus A320 model after landing at Kabul Airport, so there was a scene where the Y-20 and the A320 were in the same frame. It can be said that this contrast is quite obvious. Compared with civilian passenger aircraft Generally speaking, strategic bombers like the Y-20 are indeed exaggerated and more domineering.
Generally speaking, the domestic Y-20’s flight to Afghanistan this time once again proves that strong strategic transportation capabilities are an essential “skill” for a big country. The value displayed through strategic transportation capabilities will play an important role in geopolitical aspects. , it can not only contribute to peaceful disaster relief in surrounding areas, but it is also an important way to expand one's own influence. Only when one's own influence enters, will other influences that harm peace be driven out. Of course, we should also be cautious during specific operations. It can be seen from the different targeted jamming magazines this time that we are quite professional in this regard.
