As China begins to serve a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, the Eurasian Times of India believes that China has now shifted from the previous "defensive offensive" strategy to the "offensive defense" strategy. For China, instead of waiting for the United States to come and provoke, it is better to actively show its powerful force to shock the United States and directly prevent the occurrence of conflicts.
Indian media said that the United States is also very interested in some projects in China that have not yet appeared. Indian media quoted the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency as saying that relevant evidence shows that in addition to developing the H-20 stealth strategic bomber, China is also developing the J-H-XX stealth fighter bomber. The JH-XX is equipped with an organically-born active phased array radar. It can not only use large air-to-face precision-guided munitions and medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles, but also has a range of 3,200 kilometers. It can fully bomb Japan and Guam in the United States during wartime and destroy US military bases deployed in these places.
In order to ensure stealth ability, the air inlet of the JH-XX stealth fighter bomber is set on the top of the fuselage like most of the current drone . The layout of its built-in ammunition compartment is similar to that of the J-20 stealth fighter. In addition to having a main weapon compartment in the belly of the aircraft, a side-mounted weapon compartment is also set up on the side of the fuselage to separately accommodate the air-to-air missile .
Indian media believes that China is deeply influenced by " Sun Tzu's Art of War " and believes that "a defeated the enemy without fighting" is very important. Rather than breaking out with its direct military conflict with its opponent, weakening its opponent's fighting will by demonstrating its strong combat capabilities is more attractive to China. In 2018, the JH-XX picture was published on the cover of China's " Aviation Knowledge " magazine, proving that China has actually always hoped to equip such a stealth fighter bomber.
Of course, there are different sounds for the JH-XX stealth fighter bomber. German aviation expert Andreas Ruprecht doubted the authenticity of JH-XX and said, " Honestly... Is there really JH-XX? I think this is more mysterious than the Snowman or the Loch Ness monster. "
People's views on JH-XX are relatively neutral, that is, they believe that JH-XX does exist, but it is not a newly developed stealth bomber. It is either the J-20S stealth fighter that is currently being tested, or China's sixth-generation stealth fighter.
Let’s talk about the J-20S stealth fighter first, although its size is not much larger than the existing J-20 stealth fighter. However, until now, no one has confirmed that the built-in ammunition compartment of the J-20S has not been expanded or deepened. To put it more bluntly, the J-20S can completely deepen the built-in ammunition compartment on the abdomen in order to strengthen its ground strike capabilities to meet the carrying of large-diameter, high-weight, air-to-face strike weapons.
And for the sixth-generation stealth fighter, it is still unclear whether it is currently a pure air-optimal fighter. Because from the perspective of performance requirements, the combat requirements of some sixth-generation stealth fighters are actually somewhat similar to those of aerospace bombing. So, can the sixth-generation stealth fighter directly become a stealth fighter bomber with stronger air combat capabilities than the J-20? I personally think the possibility is still very high.
Because if you don’t do this, it means that the sixth generation stealth fighter is a pure air-optimal fighter. In order to meet combat needs, we also need to develop stealth bombers that use 's sixth-generation fighter technology, which has returned to the previous situation and turned into a cycle. Of course, to achieve the goals conceived by individuals, the most important thing is to achieve breakthroughs in technology. If there are technical limitations, the sixth-generation air-optimal fighter will most likely achieve its most important goal first, that is, give priority to ensuring air-optimal combat capabilities.
However, one thing Indian media is really right, that is, the People's Liberation Army has indeed begun to clearly turn to the "offensive defense" strategy, and the most obvious thing is that China has begun to continuously strengthen its long-range strike capabilities. The J-20 stealth fighter, J-11, J-16, J-10, J-15, and the Chinese Navy's 055 Large Drive and 052D series missile destroyers are not only emphasizing "going out", but also emphasizing going further and blocking the enemy as far away as possible from China.
Currently, China's "Dongfeng-16" medium-range ballistic missile has a range of 1,000 kilometers, and can include most of the US military bases on the first island chain of and into the attack range. The longer-range "Dongfeng-21D" and "Dongfeng-26" anti-ship ballistic missiles can strike the US Navy surface fleet operating in most waters within the first island chain to the second island chain of . All this proves that China has indeed begun to transform to "offensive defense".
In addition, the CG picture of China's H-6 bomber controlling the drone swarm's operations also made Indian media deeply uneasy. Indian media believes that if the H-6 bomber really has the ability to manipulate drones to perform air-opposite strike missions or even air-optimal combat missions, then the maximum attack distance of this combination will break through the second island chain and intercept the US military's combat forces at a further distance.
But I am actually more interested in our various large drones. For example, the "Winglong-3" large-scale investigation and strike integrated drone that just concluded at the 14th Zhuhai Air Show, which not only can perform air-to-face strike missions, air-optimal combat missions, relay guidance missions, and submarine search/submarine combat missions, but its maximum range has also exceeded 10,000 kilometers, which is a truly "intercontinental drone".
China is fully able to develop China's next generation long-range combat system based on the large ultra-long-range drone such as the "Winglong-3". For example, directly use large long-range drones to direct other drones to perform more dangerous air-opposite strike missions, electronic warfare missions, and air-optimal combat missions. In this way, we can form a defense system more actively, making the US military even more afraid to launch military intimidation against us easily.
