The United States has the world's most powerful air force, especially the strategic bomber group, which is quite eye-catching. The new generation of B-21 stealth bomber project seems to be coming soon. Maybe it can be said that the wolf is really here! It was said before that this bomber is so powerful, and it is about to be released. On September 20, US Air Force Assistant Air Secretary Andrew Hunter said: The B-21 bomber will debut in the first week of December.

Americans are full of expectations for B-21

This triggered another round of publicity for the B21 bomber in the US media, but so far, the B-21 is still quite mysterious. According to the 1945 website, the B-21 bomber is more mysterious than the F-22. It was launched as early as 2015 under the name " long-range strike bomber "/LRS-B. It has been seven years since then, but no image of the B-21 has been leaked, and now all six prototypes are close to completion. It claims that the B-21 can achieve progress advantage by keeping confidentiality. In other words, the United States still does not believe that others can handle large stealth bomber technology, and is still believing in the statement that technology is "stolen". It is determined to prevent others from copying, and seems to be in a confused sense of confidence. Will

B-21 be a shrinking version of B-2?

After several generations of development, the earliest F-117 can only be said to have solved the problem of existence and non-existence. The B-2 is the real breakthrough. On the basis of solving the problem of existence and improving quality, the B-21 will go further. There is not much information about B-21, and only knows that it is based on B-2, but it is smaller than B-2 and uses more advanced technologies. For example, with more than 30 years of achievements in stealth design, the appearance is more streamlined and effective, and can prevent enemy detection and positioning. It is said that stealth technology is at least "two generations" ahead of B-2, and can surpass F-22 and F-35.

The US military's expectations for B-21 are naturally very high

The United States emphasizes stealth performance in the B-21 project, and its goal is to break through the China-Russia defense network, enter the strategic depth of China and Russia, and project stealth missiles. The US Air Force wants to make everything that can fly stealth, which is a considerable expectation. According to the US military, the B-21 will be the key to the Pacific deterrent force and its status is very important.

Dongfeng-21D makes the Americans afraid of

The article on the website of the US media "1945" can be clearly shown, emphasizing that the number of ships owned by the Chinese Navy has exceeded that of the US military, compressing the advantages of the US military, but pointing out that the regional anti-denial strategy built by long-range missile is more deadly, involving dongfeng-21D, with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers, and hypersonic missile , etc., is almost impossible to defend under the current technical conditions. Allow China to have an area blockade capability that extends 2,000 kilometers or more from the coastline, and prevent the US military from working with the aircraft carrier . Perhaps the B-21 may be the only platform that can fight against China's defense system in the early stages of the conflict, mainly using weapons such as AGM-158B/JASSM-ER to launch attacks from hundreds of kilometers away, and will not be discovered at all. This will clear the road for aircraft carrier battle groups so that they can approach the coastline and launch attacks. Therefore, the B-21 must be built immediately, the progress of R&D must be accelerated, and investment must naturally be added.

US media believe that the United States has successfully maintained its monopoly position in the field of large stealth bomber technology, but its leading position is weakening. It is just because China and Russia are developing their own stealth bombers, especially China. Now American media are rumored that China is developing the H-20 bomber. China's statement on the development of the strategic bomber has been confirmed, but the relevant situation has not been made public. Now the US B-21 is about to be unveiled publicly, so China's H-20 is about to be refueled. In the field of new generation bomber technology, China and the United States are chasing each other. Whether China can take the lead depends on its next performance. The United States' emphasis on the B-21 project has demonstrated the important position of strategic bombers. Under the background of modern technology, stealth bombers cannot be abandoned and are still very important equipment.

If you analyze it, the US military's B21 stealth bomber is accelerating its development, and we can see the choices of the Chinese and Russian Air Force.The United States is trying to use stealth bombers to gain an advantage, so how will China and Russia choose? According to the 1945 website, the US's air combat method can be changed, complicating the combat calculations that potential opponents need to solve when challenging the United States, and also improving stealth capabilities, as well as deterrence and combat capabilities. Perhaps the United States is trying to use the B-21 as a role model and lure its opponents to develop similar equipment, which is a bit like the United States setting up a bet, allowing China and Russia to raise the bet. Americans themselves have no confidence in what

B-21 will develop into what

The United States may be a bit bluffing in the B-21 project, a bit over-announced, and it seems to be a bit betting on the B-21 strategic bomber. In addition, the timing of the big propaganda seems to be a little problem. When China and Russia began to conduct maritime military exercises in the Sea of ​​Japan, propaganda about the B-21 began. On September 19, the US military discovered that the Chinese and Russian fleet led by the 055 Delivery appeared in Alaska. The next day, news about the B-21 being unveiled came. On September 28, the 055 Delivery opened to Japan's doorstep and announced that it had begun to increase its investment again. Which one is released first and H-20 will be seen first!

Now the United States needs to consolidate its advantages and avoid being at a disadvantage. It is deliberately shouting that the first flight of the B-21 is about to show its practical strength, but in fact it cannot quench its near thirst. It takes more than one or two years from the first flight to the entry of the service and then to the formation of combat effectiveness. It should be a medium-term plan. In the event of 5 to 10 years, is the United States a little too nervous and has a special publicity look?
