When mentioning a country’s military power, one has to mention the country’s air force. The air force represents a country’s air superiority , and now the fighter jet has been upgraded to the sixth generation. All countries attach great importance to the research and development of fighters, and the performance of fighters is gradually increasing. Among them, the U.S. fighter plane is far ahead in the world. The number of fighters owned by the United States ranks first in the world, and its fighter performance is also the most advanced in the world. The stealth fighter was first developed by the United States. As the three major military powers, China and Russia have fewer fighters than the United States.
Today we are going to introduce a fighter from the United States. This fighter has only two in the world. Although it is classified as a "fighter", it is not equipped with any combat system and is not equipped with any weapons. But this aircraft is very famous, called " Air Force One ". So, why is this fighter so unique?
First, let's explain the meaning of "Air Force One". "Air Force One" does not refer to the fighter model, but a special name in the Air Force-the name of the presidential aircraft, just like the name "first class" in the flight cabin.
Among them, the most famous is the Boeing VC-25A. This aircraft is a symbol of American power and is one of the international logos of the United States. This fighter is known as the "White House in the Air" in the United States and has a cost of 3 billion. The two aircraft are based on Boeing's 747-2G4B civil aircraft for transformation. But the 25A is actually the oldest 747.
Air Force One is not equipped with any weapons, but is equipped with jamming equipment on the head and equipped with warning radar. The function of warning radar is "anti-radar". When it is locked by local radar, it can automatically warn and launch radar. The jamming bomb that comes with .
Let’s take a look at the fuselage of Air Force One. The defense system of "Air Force One" is also constantly upgraded. In 2012, the 92-9000 installed five "Matador" jammers. This small jammer can emit pulsed infrared signals to counter heat-seeking missiles. The end of
VC-25A is also equipped with sophisticated equipment. Such as the AAR-54 missile warning system. This system is connected to the directional infrared countermeasure infrared jammer on the plane, and when a threat is detected, it will automatically send data to the infrared jammer. In addition, the "Air Force One" has a light-weight multi-functional conformal antenna, which can ensure that the aircraft keeps in touch with the ground at any time. Therefore, even if the "Air Force One" is not equipped with any attack system, no one can shoot it down.
The United States is currently the most powerful military power in the world. There is no doubt about this. When other countries were traumatized by war, the United States took this opportunity to develop its own science and technology and military. The development of the United States' military science and technology led the world for decades. However, the United States relied on its military strength to often provoke wars in other countries.
Even if the US military is so strong, it is not the reason why the US can exercise hegemony in the world. The countries of the world are not afraid of power and strive to move forward. In recent years, China's military strength has also improved greatly, and China's defense capabilities have made a qualitative leap, which has attracted the attention of Western countries.
