The reconnaissance aircraft of the United States is too much! The United States, which has always regarded itself as a democracy, has always spoken with strength. If our planes fly along the United States in this way, will it be time for the United States to explode the nest? It seems that the United States never knows the principle of not doing to others what it does not want others to do to others, or the United States simply disdains to reason, only with fists can make sense. You can say that you can fly in the high seas, but you are in my exclusive economic zone, which is only more than 100 kilometers away from Qingdao . Isn’t this bullying? Moreover, it appeared as early as June at the Yangtze River estuary, and it continued to hover, and was only 29 nautical miles away from the nearest my country's territorial sea baseline. There is also a huge area of air defense identification zone . Are you coming and going so high-profile?
Flying the bridge
This time, the RC-135U aircraft is a type of RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft family. It is good at performing reconnaissance and surveillance missions in the waters of the target country. It is known as the most important reconnaissance tool of the US military in the 21st century, together with the new generation of military reconnaissance satellites and long-range drones.
Common reconnaissance routes
US RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft are divided into A, S, U, V, W, X and other models. They are all equipped with high-frequency, very high-frequency and extremely high-frequency radio communications, as well as an advanced navigation system composed of radar and global positioning system / inertial navigation system . It can identify and monitor radio signals in a wide range of frequency bands of target objects, and can be used for reconnaissance of signal intelligence, electronic intelligence and ballistic missile intelligence according to mission needs.
Internal working scene of the cabin
The maximum range of the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft is about 12,000 kilometers, a flight altitude of more than 15 kilometers, a cruise speed of about 860 kilometers, and a flight time of 12 hours. The RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft usually carries about 25 units, including cockpit crew, electronic warfare officers (EW0), in-flight maintenance technicians and airborne intelligence technicians (AIT). The RC-135S is the main model of reconnaissance ballistic missiles. The detection distance of the high-precision optical detection device is 400 kilometers, and it can detect missile warheads reentering the atmosphere from a long distance. The RC-135V and RC-135W tasks are to detect various electromagnetic waves in the air in real time, and to locate, analyze, record and process the targets. Various radar parameters in the world are within their measurement range, and the width of the measurement pulse can be accurate to positive and negative 0.1 microns, and the orientation can be accurate to positive and negative 1 degree. The on-board communication signal reconnaissance system can detect audio, phone frequency, telex, telex and other signals. Radio stations can be detected at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The main task of RC-135U is to collect various electromagnetic waves. The RC-135X reconnaissance aircraft is equipped with long-distance visual infrared reconnaissance sensors, long-distance laser distance measurement system and mission inspection software.
Leaping the mountains
RC—135 belongs to the 55th Wing under the US Air Combat Command. The wing is located at the Offord Air Force Base in the United States, and "OFF" is the base logo. RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft 's iconic language: "Reconnaissance is my life, danger is my business." RC-135 usually takes off from the US military base in Okinawa, Japan, and can fly north first. When it is almost time to Shanghai, China, it starts to turn south, fly parallel along the sea and air boundary of my southeastern coastal areas, and to Hainan and South China Sea airspace, then turn around and fly north. Take off at a time and you can cycle reconnaissance flights along my southeastern coastal areas and the South China Sea 4 times, and finally return to the Okinawa base.
