According to comprehensive analysis by military experts PY, Japan obviously had conducted relatively in-depth analysis when introducing the US F-35B carrier-based aircraft, and after many analysis and improvement, and the "important enemy" it set was undoubtedly China's navy and air force. The Ministry of Defense first conducted targeted combat analysis of the "H-6 K+ cruise missile" tactics, and then analyzed the simulated attack effect of the battle group of "Liaoning Shandong Ship Carrier + J-15".
In Japanese media, the research results of the Ministry of Defense were summarized as the conclusion that "can sink Liaoning and Shandong ships within 30 minutes." Later, the Ministry of Defense conducted a targeted combat analysis of the "J-20 stealth attack" tactic. This time there was no result of a "easy victory". It concluded that the total number of F-35 series fighter jets must be introduced, including 20 F-35B models. It can be believed that Japanese Self-Defense Force is confident in the combat effectiveness of the new aircraft carrier equipped with F-35B.
This is even reflected in the future war movies filmed by Japan. The aircraft carrier from "a major country" was completely defeated by the " Izumo +F-35B" combination. Japan wants to gamble again, but can it "get all your wishes come true" this time? After years of research, the Japanese defense department generally affirmed the feasibility of the two helicopter aircraft carriers, Kaga and Izumo, carrying the F-35B fighter after transformation, and pointed out the direction for the subsequent understanding of the performance of the combination of "F-35B with the Izumo class aircraft carrier". From the perspective of problem-based thinking, the feasibility consultation report submitted by shipbuilding giant JMU lists a series of problems.
But most of the problems are focused on the adaptability of the hull to carrier-based . The F-35B itself has basically not been involved in the adaptability of the "Izumo"-class aircraft carrier, which has caused many obstacles to the understanding and solution of the derivative problems of the "F-35B equipped with the Izumo class aircraft carrier" project. At present, in the annual updated "Southwest Something" response plan and JMU consulting report compiled by Hai Autonomous, the pre-research on the problems caused by the F-35B's shipboard is still in its infancy. In fact, the US military is also facing the same stage.
Because the F-35B was installed on the US military's "US"-class amphibious assault ship in March 2018, it also faces the high-incidence period after the launch. For the combination of "F-35B + Izumo-class aircraft carrier", the reference for its analogy understanding is the "Cafour" aircraft carrier of the Italian Navy . On the most basic hull adaptability issues that are most concerned by the flight deck renovation, cabin layout renovation, ship-based weapon layout renovation, hangar renovation, aviation command bridge renovation, and 12-degree ski jump platform installation of bows, the "Cafour" aircraft carrier has been solved ideally due to its innate advantages. But Italian aircraft carriers do not need to face Chinese naval and air force-level opponents. Text/PY
