In the underground hangar of Sakura Airport, in the third basement on the bottom floor, there is an almost closed world, with only bright lights that shine here brightly. The ceiling reflects the lights and looks shining. In this peaceful place, 300 hideous monsters are crawling there, but even quiet is full of violent power.

This type of tank is not as powerful as the main battle tank of the Class A armored division, but it is also a very good tank. At least it has a very high balance. Even because of the air transport, China is preparing to increase the deployment of this kind of tank in the future. Compared with the air transport that can transfer tens of thousands of kilometers a day, the speed of 1,000 kilometers of tanks is really slow and is not enough to support China's large-scale deployment capabilities.

Although at present, due to the constraints of the airport factor, large-scale air transport transfers must be built, and the transfer of only domestic Chinese is enough to allow this tank to replace the heavier heavy tank and become the main force of the Chinese army. Even outside the area controlled by China, the troops can be concentrated in the border areas, and then some of the performance that is sacrificing in China's view is acceptable.

At present, China has begun the process of changing clothes, but the speed is not fast, and the fast anti-revolutionary forces have high requirements in all aspects. In addition, China has equipped nearly 60 main battle tanks with armored divisions, almost 20,000. This is a huge number. In this era, the still very advanced main battle tanks cannot be discarded casually. Such a country's important weapon may not even be sold to takeout without sufficient generation difference. In this case, this is equivalent to a net loss. Even if China is rich and powerful, it cannot be done like this.

In order to ensure the effect of air transport, the total weight is about 35 tons, which is about 10 tons lighter than the main battle tank. This is impossible. Strategic bombers and strategic transport aircraft have reached their limits at the current level. Tanks of about 35 tons also need to reduce the refueling capacity to be transported to airlift such a tank. Otherwise, the maximum load capacity is 5 tons short of 30 tons.

5 tons is not a small number. It is already the limit to 10 tons of main battle tanks with a total of more than 45 tons. If it is reduced, it will directly affect performance. In terms of design, this fast anti-tank reduces weight in many places, such as the reduction of artillery, the reserve amount is reduced, and even the armor in unimportant positions is also reduced. However, this reduction does not reduce the performance of many tanks. The armor on the front of this tank is equivalent to a 180mm military-only armored tank, which is definitely an unparalleled killer on land.

At present, no American artillery can threaten him or her from 1 kilometer away. It is a heavy artillery of more than 300 mm. Only the main artillery of heavy patrols and the main artillery of battleships can be possessed. Even if the United States has more such artillery, it will not exceed 500. Moreover, the current location of the tank is 200 kilometers away from the nearest beach. This distance is not something that the naval main artillery can reach. To take ten thousand steps, the threat of such a main artillery to the tank is very small. After all, the tank is not a turret, and it can move. This is the root of the tank's power. However, the speed of the flat ground or highway can guarantee a speed of more than 48 kilometers per hour. Such a speed is enough for most artillery to be unable to hit it.

Of course, if you use the latest individual anti-tank weapon at close range, the armor-piercing ability is about 220 mm, not targeting his frontal armor, but targeting his weak links. You can deal with such a tank. Because of the weight of a few tons, the armor can only strengthen the frontal armor, and the side and back are a weakness. This is a main battle tank carefully developed by China. After reducing some of the protection, it can only make up for it through other means. However, through periscopes and other means, observation without dead corners, plus some unique equipment, it has almost no weaknesses, and the main land combat weapons in the future.

It can be said without hesitation that against China's strongest main battle tank, he will not be defeated under the premise of head-on combat. It is just that there are some shortcomings in continuous combat and endurance. However, compared with air transport, these weaknesses are nothing. In the future, China will almost inevitably move towards high mobility, high deployment capabilities, and China's huge territory, so that these troops are the correct development direction in the future.

Strategic bombers, with a load capacity of 30 tons or even 35 tons, have reached a limit. Unless Yang Yuanzhao uses more cutting-edge materials designed by all-in-one aircraft, and even pushes China into the ranks of jet aircraft, the load capacity of this load capacity can be greatly improved. The strength and load capacity of jet aircraft have been raised by another step on the basis of propeller aircraft. After all, propeller aircraft has not high requirements for the strength of the fuselage, and can use very light materials and weight reduction.

China has also considered to increase horsepower for strategic transport aircraft to increase load capacity, but it cannot be done. The fuselage can't bear it. If the fuselage is strengthened, the material invested will be larger and the aircraft's self-weight will be larger, so the power consumption will be greater. With the efforts to increase the power by 40%, this direction is actually cut off when the load capacity is not more than 10%. In the research of aircraft researchers, the ultimate load capacity of turboprop aircraft is only about 35 tons without a major technological breakthrough. If there are more, there will be many problems. If you really want to break through the limit of load capacity, you must also look at the jet aircraft. This is the best way to increase performance.

As a direction of future development, jet aircraft is the next generation of main fighter aircraft. This has been recognized by many flight experts, but it is not necessary to increase research and fully replace it. At the current Yinshan base and the Aircraft Research Institute, it has been carried out. The large-scale wind and high-platform design in advance have also made the design work proceed in an orderly manner. However, 20 years later, compared with piston or turboprop aircraft, a newer aircraft form still needs to go a long way. Although the prototype had appeared as early as 1915, the process of further change encountered many difficulties, because it surpassed this era and was even incomplete in theory. At most, it only had qualified materials and engines. The rest was all based on speculation, and the failure rate and the probability of falling were extremely high.

In fact, jet prototypes appeared as early as the 1940s, but by more than a decade later, in the war on the peninsula and in the Vietnam War, jets did not show overwhelming advantages. In some airspaces and certain battles, even pistons could overwhelm the jet.

In fact, before the missile appeared, there was no good way for the jet to go against the piston type. The jet's performance was high-altitude and high-speed, but this performance was good during flight and could not be used in combat. This was determined based on the main weapon of the aircraft. Before the missile appeared, the main weapon of the aircraft was the cannon. The cannon was a linear attack and did not have tracking. In the aircraft's amplifier, fighting required maneuverability.

Is the maneuverability of jet aircraft strong? It is mainly the maneuverability of high altitude and high speed. In this aspect, the maneuverability of piston and propeller almost beats the piston and propeller types more than several times. However, in terms of maneuverability at low altitude and low speed, there is no distance between propeller aircraft. As long as the propeller aircraft does not fight with jet aircraft at high altitude, in this case, the jet can only descend at a height, tie its strongest part, and compare its own shortcomings with the advantages of pistons. Because of the generation difference, jet fighters have the advantage, but the advantages are not overwhelming, and mutual victory and defeat are the most common.

This is something that a jet aircraft cannot accept. Because of its leading technology, the materials in all aspects are more precious and very expensive. One is at least several times more than the piston type, which is more than 10 times more than the cheapest mosquito aircraft, but it cannot show its advantages in performance. To a certain extent, there have even been a wave of differences in the world aviation field. The spring of mouse jet fighter jets still appeared. It should be missiles, especially air-to-air missiles, which were only revealed.

Piston fighters, because they do not need to cross sound barriers, and have high-altitude and high-speed environments at high altitudes, their strength is generally not high. Most of the metal fighters are metal skins. Their strength of this type of aircraft cannot be compared with that of piston fighters, so they cannot, or it is difficult to hang up missiles. Jet fighters are different. They have very high strength. Once they hang up missiles, they can solve the opponent at a long distance or even beyond visual range, instead of fighting with opponents at short distances and using machine guns to attack opponents. In this way, there is an overwhelming advantage. Piston fighters are completely eliminated, and even the generation difference between fighters is getting bigger and bigger, one-to-many, or even a dozen fighters overwhelming, dozens of fighters are everywhere.

In history, it took decades to complete the development history of jet aircraft. How could China complete it so quickly? The turboprop, which had been all its energy before, was always in common with turbofans, but China could not completely give up propellers and turn to jets. To a certain extent, jets can only be considered pre-research and invested in a large number of scientific and technological personnel, but only one or two of them were at the peak. They could develop forward with difficulty. This is the current status of the development of Chinese jet aircraft.
