In the large-scale military documentary "Chasing the Light" played by CCTV Military Channel in the past two days, the Navy's latest amphibious assault ship was released for the first time, and the scene of a practical beach landing in a certain offshore waters of the Eastern Theater Command was released. From the picture, you can see the majestic body of the 075 amphibious assault ship in the distance and the high-speed galloping of dozens of Type 05 amphibious assault vehicles in the near future. You can imagine how effective this practical beach landing drill is.
However, after the documentary was released, someone on the Internet calculated that the actual amphibious landing combat distance of 075 was about 15 kilometers based on the offshore wind farm that appeared in the picture. The reason given is that the distance from the shore of my country's offshore wind farm is generally between 10-25 kilometers. If calculated based on the intermediate value, it is estimated that the landing combat distance is about 15 kilometers.
So from the actual situation, is this distance calculation accurate? Is the actual landing combat distance of about 15 kilometers too far? After all, before the 075 was put into service, the beach landing battle carried out by the Navy's 071 amphibious dock landing ship was generally within 5 kilometers of the straight line from the shore.
In the context of promoting carbon neutrality , in the past decade, my country has not only built many hydropower stations and built many wind and solar power farms in the northwest, northeast, Inner Mongolia, southwest and other regions. At the same time, in order to promote clean energy as efficiently as possible to become the mainstream of the future, my country has also been efficiently utilizing the two major offshore wind power regions in recent years, and carrying out large-scale construction of offshore wind farms. And after years of construction and development, as of 2021, offshore wind power has been able to provide my country with 566.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity supply every year, accounting for 6.6% of the total power generation of all types in the country.
In the past ten years, my country has built offshore wind farms on the main southeast and northeast wind belts, mainly from the coast, which are 10-25 kilometers away from the coast. More than 10 kilometers have met the impact of offshore wind power on the production and life of the shore, and no more than 25 kilometers have also directly reduced the technical difficulty and cost of long-distance transmission and substation. According to the information released in the style documentary, the 075 amphibious assault ship of , which is undergoing amphibious beach landing operations, is about 15 kilometers away from the shore, because the distance at this distance is still relatively obvious.
Before the Navy was equipped with the 075 amphibious assault ship, they all relied on the 071 amphibious dock landing ship to complete the beach landing combat mission. 071 is an amphibious transportation responsibility and its own aviation power is weak, so they can only wait for the naval fighter jets to take over air supremacy and seize the enemy's shore anti-ship force before they can release the amphibious tanks at close range and conduct a close beach landing battle. Therefore, for the 071 amphibious dock landing ship, it has completely seized air supremacy and eliminated the anti-ship force on the shore before conducting a beach landing battle. Therefore, 071 can approach the shore very close, so that the 05 amphibious tank can quickly reach the shore and conduct beach fighting.
But from the actual combat background, beach landing battle is to use this fast and large-scale landing battle to achieve the goal of victory without completely seizing air supremacy and not completely eliminating the enemy's shore anti-ship forces. Therefore, this combat mode that first completely seizes air supremacy and eliminates enemy shore anti-ship forces, and then releases combat vehicles for landing operations has little chance of appearing in actual combat, or even slim.
Then, under the premise that the enemy still retains a certain amount of air force and the enemy's shore is likely to have a shore-based anti-ship force that can quickly launch and quickly convert launch positions, if you want to truly implement beach landing operations, the large ships in the entire fleet must be slightly further away from the shore. In this way, the enemy launches anti-ship missile , and the reaction time for interception is more abundant, but this distance cannot be too far, otherwise it will directly affect the efficiency of its own aviation power, direct swimming of amphibious tanks and fast back and forth of the 726A air cushion landing craft.
So in summary, the distance of 15 kilometers is relatively close to the real combat mode. In addition, it must be said that because this article involves many military combat secrets, many core information in the article have been intentionally modified.
