China is imitating the US military development to create new types of military equipment suitable for its own country's operations. At the same time, China creates military equipment comparable to US military based on US active equipment. China's long-term investment in the military industry has paid off, and it has made progress in new fighter jets and surface ship . The Chinese Navy launched the USS Fujian aircraft carrier some time ago. This aircraft carrier is equipped with an electromagnetic catapult similar to US Navy USS Ford aircraft carrier , which means that China is catching up with the United States in new military equipment.
In addition to the field of aircraft carriers, the Chinese Navy is equipped with the Type 055 missile destroyer. This destroyer has stronger performance than the current Ali Burke-class destroyer of the US Navy. It has an advantage in the vertical launch unit and anti-ship missile , and assumes the heavy responsibility of Chinese aircraft carrier strike group air defense. The Chinese Air Force is equipped with a new stealth fighter, namely the J-20 stealth fighter. This fighter has the same combat capabilities as the US Air Force F-35 and F-22 fighter , shortening the gap with the US Air Force in stealth fighter jets. At present, the Chinese Air Force has built a combat system similar to the US Air Force, deploying J-11B and J-10C fighter . The former is heavy fighter , and the latter is light fighter , similar to the US Air Force F-15 and F-16 fighter light and heavy combination.
Chinese Air Force is also equipped with J-16 fighter to take on the heavy responsibility of ground attacks and perform multi-purpose combat missions, similar to the US Air Force F-15E heavy fighter. According to the US website of 1945, China is developing a new flying wing stealth bomber, with a starting appearance similar to the B-2A and B-21 stealth bomber in service in the US Air Force. China and the United States will compete against each other in a tit-for-tat competition for stealth bombers. China developed the H-20 bomber to strike the United States and one day aimed at the mainland of the United States.
US media pointed out that the United States will conduct in-depth research on what impact China's new stealth bomber will have on the US military in the Asia-Pacific region and how it will have a positive impact on China's overall defense strategy! At present, the US military knows little about the H-20 stealth bomber, but according to the China's release of the renderings and publicity video of the H-20 bomber, the H-20 bomber will adopt a flying wing layout, with an aerodynamic shape with a circular upper fuselage, a hybrid wing body and a curved upper air intake, and basically no vertical structure. This aerodynamic layout has to think of the US stealth bomber loves the appearance design.
U.S. Department of Defense released the "2021 China Military Power" report, saying that China's new bomber will be a stealth bomber with a combat radius of nearly 5,000 nautical miles (equivalent to 9,260 kilometers) and a payload of 10 tons. Moreover, this bomber will have the characteristics envied by the United States. It is deployed with active phased array radar , which uses shared antennas and uses subsonic cruise missiles as an important attack method, and the built-in bomb bay uses a rotary launch device. US media pointed out that many details of the H-20 bomber are kept confidential, but this shows that China is building a military strength that matches the US Air Force, and the H-20 bomber will give the Chinese Air Force long-range and stealth strike capabilities.
Once the Chinese Air Force deploys the H-20 bomber, it will no longer be a regional force, but a global military force. As of 2022, the People's Liberation Army has deployed 2,084 military aircraft. At the same time, US media said that China is afraid of the US Air Force B-2A and the upcoming B-21 stealth bomber, and is eager to equip its own stealth bomber. As the most important symbol of the Chinese Air Force entering the strategic air force, the H-20 bomber is a heavy work of the Chinese Air Force for 20 years. It is learning from the US Air Force B-2A stealth bomber and adopts a subsonic flying wing layout as the final plan for the H-20 bomber. The H-20 bomber will have a bomb load of more than 10 tons, which is not as US media said that the payload is 10 tons, and the payload is 45 tons with a large built-in bomb bay.
H-20 stealth bomber can be equipped with different types of ammunition, including 4 air-launched hypersonic ballistic missiles, several hypersonic cruise missiles, and can also be equipped with large guided bombs. With the progress made by China in active phased array radar, it can be equipped with the most advanced airborne radar and avionics systems in China. The overall digitalization level exceeds that of the B-2A stealth bomber, comparable to the B-21 stealth bomber that the US Air Force is about to unveil.
If the H-20 bomber is successfully equipped with the Chinese Air Force, stealth fighters and stealth bombers will be deployed at that time, which will enhance China's long-range strike capabilities and at the same time enhance the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Chinese Air Force. However, the US media always looked at China's military development with tinted glasses, saying that if China simply replicates the design of the US stealth bomber, it would look down on the H-20 bomber, and the Chinese Air Force is still worthy of building the H-20 bomber to assume the stealth combat force that crosses enemy airspace. With the development of the People's Liberation Army Air Force in the past two decades, its strategy is changing from defense to offense.
PLA always believes that the United States pursues two-line combat and fights a potential two-line combat, namely, Europe and the Taiwan Strait. Fighting against either side of China and Russia will weaken the United States' military strength in the Indo-Pacific region. China is preparing for the future military conflict between China and the United States in the Taiwan Strait, which means that the PLA Air Force will take action to prevent problems before it happens, deploying a large number of fighter jets and bombers to curb the US's force of force in the Taiwan Strait. The Chinese Navy Air Force and three aircraft carriers undertake combat missions, deploying two aircraft carriers in the Taiwan Strait and one aircraft carrier offshore, which is called "two seas - one local" aircraft carrier configuration to increase the military strength of the Chinese Navy.
H-20 bomber can cross the US anti-missile and air defense system with its excellent stealth performance and "formatted" strikes on the US military's military and targets in the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, the H-20 bomber has nuclear strike capabilities and will improve China's land-based intercontinental ballistic missile and submarine-launched nuclear missile combat system to form the nuclear trinity strike capabilities. The maximum range of the H-20 bomber reaches 16,000 kilometers and the combat radius exceeds 8,000 kilometers. It only requires one air refueling and can strike any target around the world. The H-20 bomber will threaten the U.S. military Guam military base , as well as the Japanese and Philippine , which are located in the first island chain , without air refueling, it can attack the U.S. military base in Hawaii.
At present, the strongest H-6N bomber in service in the Chinese Air Force has a strongest H-6N bomber in service. After aerial refueling capabilities, the maximum combat radius can barely reach 5,000 kilometers, and the maximum combat range can barely reach the Hawaii region of the United States and the West Coast of the United States. However, the shortcomings of the H-6N bomber are also very obvious. They do not have stealth combat capabilities and have very poor survivability. They are easily captured by the reconnaissance systems deployed by the United States and Japan in the Asia-Pacific region.
US media said that the development of the H-20 bomber is coming to an end, and it is likely to be a first flight in 2025 and mass production in 2030. Subsequently, the PLA Air Force will establish a stealth bomber force and deploy a stealth strategic bombing and air-based deterrence capabilities with the US Air Force stealth bomber force. In the PLA's air force strategy, it is to "not take the lead in firing", but the most important thing is to ensure China's national security and strategic projection capabilities. At the same time, China's goal is to achieve comprehensive military modernization by 2049, which can be called the "100-year marathon". China will become a military, economic and political power in the world, and then surpass the United States. The Chinese Air Force will become an important part of China's national defense strategic transformation. The deployment of stealth fighters and stealth bombers is the preparation for the PLA to achieve comprehensive military modernization by 2049.
