According to a report by ITASS on December 6, the US Air Force's two bombers will perform task force deployment tasks on the 4th and 5th. Two B-1Bs took off from Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota and headed to Anderson Air Force Base in Guam. The U.S. military often deploys strategic bombers on Guam, which is closer to the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. military will allow these bombers to cruise to the West Pacific to perform strategic deterrence missions.
Judging from the flight route of the U.S. B1B bomber this time, the Pentagon is deliberately rehearsing the ability of the bomber to respond to the situation in the East China Sea in an emergency. Russian experts also reminded that the actions of the US military were not good. The two U.S. bombers took different flight routes. One of them bypassed Japan, passed through the Miyako Strait and entered the Sea of Japan and the eastern waters before returning to Guam. The second plane flew directly to Guam from the Western Pacific. The flight path of the US bomber shows that in an emergency, the US military has the ability to take off the bomber from the homeland and directly attack the homeland of the great eastern powers. And if Guam is the base, this kind of attack capability is even stronger. Only two bombers are currently participating in the exercise, but these two bombers may represent dozens of them. The
B-1B bomber is a supersonic bomber developed and manufactured during the Cold War. It uses a side-swept wing design, and the outer wing can vary from 15 degrees to 67 degrees. The B-1B uses four F101-GE-00 turbofan engines with a maximum thrust of 7711 kg. The aircraft has an empty weight of 87.1 tons, a maximum take-off weight of 216.4 tons, and a very impressive carrying capacity. It has 3 internal magazines, which can carry 84 MK-82 free-falling bombs and 12 AGM-154 joint long-range strike weapons. During the Gulf War, the aircraft mounted MK-82 bombs for large-scale bombing of the Iraqi army. Of course, such free-falling bombs are not suitable when used against major eastern countries, because that country has strong air defense capabilities. In fact, relying on advanced radar systems, the eastern powers can find stealth targets at a distance of 400 kilometers, and it is believed that the distance to find B-1B will be even longer.
The U.S. military has a huge bomber fleet and frequently dispatches B-52s and B-1Bs to fly in the airspace around our country to deter our country strategically. my country can only frequently dispatch fighter jets to intercept and drive away its companions, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. The US only negotiates with countries with equal strength. Until we have strategic bombers that can cruise around the US, such actions by the US will not stop. After that, we can only wait until the H-20 stealth bomber also regularly flies to the airspace near the US mainland after it is in service, so that the United States also feels the threat of our strategic bombers, and the United States may sit down and discuss solutions to the problem.
Compared with tactical aircraft, strategic bombers are the most powerful attack force in a country. During the war, the number of U.S. B52 bombers was only one-tenth of the number of U.S. aircraft, but the bombs dropped to half of the total. During the Gulf War, the B52 went into battle again, dropping 38% of the total bombs, and its super-large-scale carpet bombing caused a devastating blow to the Iraqi army. Because of this, the US military still retains strategic bombers such as the B52 and B1B, and the US military is also developing a new generation of stealth bomber B-21. In order to ensure the strategic deterrence capability of Russia and resume the production of Tu-160, our country has to constantly improve the H-6 bomber for the time being. Only when the H-20 is put into service, the backward situation of my country's strategic bombers will be improved.
