With the launch of the Fujian aircraft carrier, it is difficult for this Chinese super aircraft carrier to join the navy in a short time. The outfitting and sea trials will also last for 1-2 years, and its overall attention is declining. After the arrival of the Fujian aircraft carrier as scheduled, the focus will once again be on Chinese aircraft manufacturing. China's most anticipated aircraft projects are the H-20 bomber and the C919 large aircraft . Compared with the C919 large aircraft, when the H-20 strategic bomber will make its first flight has become a new focus for domestic military fans.
Since 2015, Ma Xiaotian, then in charge of the Chinese Air Force, announced that China is developing a new generation of long-range bombers. This is also the first official admission that it is developing a stealth strategic bomber. In recent years, the H-20 bomber has always made thunder and no rain, and has always been shrouded in mystery. Even if there is news about the test flight of the H-20 strategic bomber, the final result is that the true face of the H-20 strategic bomber has never been seen in Lushan. Recently, the China Aviation Industry Flight Test Center "China Test Flight" announced that Ge Heping, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Flight Test Institute, mobilized a certain model and issued a mobilization order to all test participants, especially emphasizing that the development of this model has "significant strategic significance and historical significance." Meaning", the extreme importance of resolutely completing the model task.
This news conveys the important message that the development of this model has "great strategic significance" and it is extremely important to resolutely complete the model mission. It can be seen that this type of aircraft is crucial to China and bears "major strategic significance." In China's aircraft projects, apart from the C919 large aircraft, I am afraid that only the H-20 bomber is left. However, the integrity of the C919 large aircraft may be minimal. The most important thing is that China's domestic C919 large aircraft is in the trial stage, and delivery is only a matter of time. It is very likely that the test flight work will be carried out again.
Lenovo to "great strategic significance", I am afraid that the only one worthy of this title is the H-20 bomber. The importance of the H-20 bomber to the Chinese Air Force is self-evident. It is a new long-range combat weapon for the Chinese Air Force that has crossed the threshold of the strategic air force. The United States and Russia are called strategic air forces. In addition to being equipped with large transport aircraft , their strategic bombers The credit is also indispensable.
In 2021, Chinese Air Force spokesperson Senior Colonel Shen Jinke said that the Chinese Air Force has historically crossed the threshold of a strategic air force, but it is still some distance away from the true strategic air force. Looking at China is developing a new aircraft model, which is said to be of "great strategic significance", this model is likely to be the H-20 strategic bomber. Although two yellow-skinned third-generation aircraft appeared in the announcement, which are speculated to be the J-11B and the J-16 fighter , the J-11B and J-16 fighters are equipped with the Chinese Air Force, and there is no need to conduct test flights again. Moreover, the J-11B and J-16 fighter jets are mature fighter equipment. Even if they are comprehensively improved and upgraded, there is no need to make such drastic changes.
Among the improved models of China's active fighter jets, the improved version of the J-20 and the improved version of the J-15 are the two most important models. A two-seat version of the J-20S fighter was developed based on the J-20 fighter. In the J-15 Carrier-based fighter develops the J-15T catapult carrier-based aircraft. Although the J-20S fighter has obvious changes compared to the J-20 fighter, it is also improved and upgraded on the basis of the former. As for the J-15T carrier-based fighter, the wingtip pylon, nose IRST, radome and leading edge wing etc. Compared with the standard version of the J-15 carrier-based fighter, there are many upgrades and improvements, and the airborne radar, avionics fire control, and engine will also be significantly improved, equipped with active phased array radar and domestic turbofan-10 The overall level of the engine has reached the level of a third-and-a-half-generation fighter jet.
The J-20S and J-15T fighter jets are also currently in service and have undergone changes. It is difficult to equip them with "major strategic significance." As for the J-35 stealth carrier-based fighter jet, it is in the test flight stage and has already conducted two test flights. However, the announcement stated that This model has great strategic and historical significance, and we fully understand the extreme importance of resolutely completing the mission of this model. With such high-level attention, no other aircraft model can be thought of except the H-20 bomber.
In terms of confidentiality, the H-20 bomber is the most mysterious bomber in China, and it is also the model with the highest degree of confidentiality. Whether it appears in AVIC’s promotional videos or recruitment videos, this strategic bomber uses a curtain. Cover. China attaches more importance to the H-20 bomber than any other aircraft currently in service. As a strategic bomber, its strategic significance is both from the perspective of the Chinese Air Force and the national strategic level. Its high specifications are unmatched by any aircraft model.
The H-20 strategic bomber assumes China's trinity of strategic strike capabilities, especially the execution of transcontinental strike missions, symbolizing that China has reached the U.S. and Russian strategic air force standards, and means that China's trinity of strategic strike capabilities are all in place. If the H-20 strategic bomber really makes its first flight, its historical and strategic significance will be worthy of any high-standard treatment. After all, the H-20 strategic bomber is China's first completely self-developed stealth strategic bomber. According to the announcement of the China Aviation Industry Flight Test Center, it is not surprising to think of the H-20 strategic bomber.
To be fair, domestic expectations for the H-20 strategic bomber exceed that of any model. Combining the two words of "major historical significance and strategic significance", the H-20 bomber is the model that can afford it. As for the J-35 and J-15T carrier-based fighters, they are also new models of China's carrier-based fighter . However, the status of the J-35 stealth carrier-based fighter clearly surpasses the J-15T fighter. The J-15T carrier-based fighter cannot surpass the J-15T carrier-based fighter. 35 stealth carrier-based fighter status, as for whether to develop a new version of the H-6 bomber, its importance cannot exceed that of the H-20 strategic bomber.
It is natural for China to develop the H-20 stealth bomber, and it is normal to promote follow-up development work. Overall, it is certainly impossible to guess the model of the aircraft before official media reports, but it at least represents the upcoming test flight of China's new high-standard model. To be honest, from a psychological point of view, I hope that this aircraft test flight will be the first flight of the H-20 strategic bomber. Domestic military fans are so looking forward to this stealth bomber that they can’t wait to see it. They eagerly hope that the H-20 strategic bomber will make its first flight as soon as possible. equipment, undertake combat missions, and be able to meet the military fans as soon as possible.
