Recently, a propaganda video of the Central Theater Command Air Force of the People's Liberation Army attracted the attention of the US military website "War Zone". In this promotional video, US media discovered that the Central Theater Command Air Force used the H-6 series bomber to drop a super large bomb. US media believe that this is China's "mother of bombs", that is, large thermostress bombs, which can create an unmanned land with a diameter of about 1,000 meters, and its power is second only to nuclear weapons. It may not only be used to bomb the US military in the future war in the Taiwan Strait, but it may also be used to deal with the Indian army.
From the appearance, China's "Mother of Bombs" has no other guidance components installed in the head of the bullet. And its wings, like other conventional iron bombs in China, use conventional ring-type wings, and do not have any common gliding wings and tail rudders on Chinese gliding laser-guided bombs. Therefore, it can basically be determined that China's "Mother of Bombs" can only carry out air-on-air bombing and do not have the ability to throw and launch attacks outside the defense zone.
The fuse does not appear to be a hit-fighting fuze used on traditional high-defense bombs, but an air-fighting fuze. Therefore, its working mode should be the same as the foreign "father of bombs" isothermal bombs, which can destroy the enemy's combat personnel and fortifications through the high temperature and high pressure generated by the temperature explosion.
This is not the first appearance of China's "Mother of Bombs". In the introduction of relevant products of China Ordnance Industry Group Co., Ltd. in 2019, Xinhua News Agency introduced a giant bomb carried and dropped by a H-6K bomber. At that time, Xinhua News Agency directly called the giant bomb China's "mother of bombs" in its report, saying that it was China's largest non-nuclear bomb. Its bullet length is between 5-6 meters, and even the H-6K bomber can only carry one in the built-in ammunition compartment on the belly.
The United States actually has its own "Mother of Bombs". The origin of its nickname is very interesting. The entire process is Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bombs, which is a large fuel air bomb, just like Mother Of All Bombs) is the same abbreviation, both MOAB, and it is easier to remember, so it spread quickly. However, these bombs are very large in size, such as the US military's BLU-82/B "Daisy Cutter", which are basically carried and used by the C-130 transport aircraft. Of course, the US military's B-2 stealth strategic bomber and B-52 strategic bomber can also be carried and used.
US media believes that although the Chinese version of the "Mother of Bombs" can only be Carrying and using the H-6K bomber, but the two stealth bombers that China is currently under development, namely the H-20 stealth strategic bomber and the JH-XX stealth fighter bomber, can also carry and use the Chinese version of the "Mother of Bombs" in the future. Its uses are very wide-ranging. It can be used directly to launch attacks on the US military, and can also be used to clean up a clean landing ground for the air burst troops.
Of course, in addition to directly killing the target, China's "Mother of Bombs" was produced when it exploded. Huge sound and light can also cause a huge impact on the enemy's psychology, destroy the enemy's mentality of continuing to fight, and disintegrate the enemy's will to resist. For the PLA's ground combat troops, when encountering a large-scale minefield, they can also apply to use the Chinese version of the "Mother of Bombs" to quickly clear the minefield and open up a safe channel.
U.S. media believes that the biggest problem with the Chinese version of the "Mother of Bombs" is that it does not have precise strike capabilities, and because it relies on the carrier aircraft, it basically needs to Only when we have complete air supremacy can it be used. However, the author believes that this is not a big problem for us at the moment.
At this Zhuhai Air Show, China publicly displayed a 1,000-kilogram laser-guided invasion bomb, and mounted it under the wings of the JH-7A2 fighter bomber. Even if our army does not have complete air supremacy, the JH-7A2 can still carry this heavy laser-guided bomb to perform ground attack missions and attack the US or Taiwan underground command posts.Similarly, China also has the corresponding strength to manufacture larger laser-guided bombs for the H-6K bomber, such as 3-ton and 6-ton precision-guided bombs, and launch an off-zone attack.
This is not China's only solution. Also referring to the "Thunderstone-6" precision guided bomb exhibited at the Zhuhai Air Show, China only needs to equip its "Mother of Bombs" with gliding wings and control tails with guidance components, so that it can not only achieve the purpose of attacking outside the defense zone of the Chinese version of "Mother of Bombs", but also achieve the combat effect of achieving precise strikes. Most importantly, we have the ability to carry out batch modifications. At that time, the US military will need to face the "mother of bombs" of China launched from outside the defense zone and able to accurately strike.
As for the H-20 stealth bomber, it will naturally become an ideal carrier for China's "mother of bombs". The H-20 stealth bomber can carry the Chinese version of the "Mother of Bombs" directly during wartime to launch a raid on the enemy's rear. Any enemy's medium and large targets, such as the US military's airport, US military barracks, ammunition depots and military distribution areas, are very ideal targets of attack.
Of course, the Taiwan military is expected to experience the taste of our army's "Mother of Bombs" earlier than the US military. The Taiwan military has been boasting to the outside world how "invincible" the tunnel fortifications on the west side of Taiwan Island are. However, in the face of thermostress weapons such as our army's "Mother of Bombs", the Taiwan Army's tunnel fortifications seem very fragile. In wartime, it only takes one shot to directly paralyze a large area of tunnel fortifications of the Taiwan Army, opening up a fast channel for our landing troops.
In addition, as the US media said, our army can also use the "Mother of Bombs" to quickly open up several large-scale aircraft landing areas for our air burst troops on Taiwan Island. After having a suitable aircraft landing area, our air storm troops can not only deploy large quantities of combat personnel, but also quickly deploy a large number of combat vehicles to improve their strike capabilities against the Taiwan military.
