Original title: Russian media guessing -20 preparation for the first flight said it will fill the shortcomings of China's strategic nuclear power
Reference News Network reported on October 13 that the "Russia Today" TV station website published an article on the 11th that China's new strategic bomber bomber - 20 is preparing for the first flight. China Central Television has already demonstrated a prototype on the show, but its performance parameters have so far been kept strictly confidential. The foreign media speculated that the H-20 was designed according to the flying wing scheme and the stealth technology was widely used. The Pentagon is concerned that the H-20 will become a threat to US naval bases in the Asian region and the United States. Experts reminded that we should not draw a hasty conclusion on the effectiveness of H-20.
According to the report, China Central Television broadcasted a video on the runway of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Company in August. According to Chinese media reports, the company's experts conducted a series of ground tests on the H-20, testing its structural components, landing gear and airborne equipment.
According to the report, the Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute began to develop H-20 in 2008. China's technical and tactical performance and R&D progress of the H-20 are strictly confidential. Therefore, all information about the H-20 project is speculation.
Russian military academy professor Vadim Koliulin said in an interview with "Russia Today" TV station: "In my opinion, H-20 may indeed test in the near future... China may have achieved in the development of its latest aircraft. Real success."
According to the report, China is one of the few countries in the world that has a part of the Trinity nuclear force, the Air Force strategic bomber unit. However, the current strategic bomber serving in the Chinese People's Liberation Army is the old bomber-6. It was designed on the basis of the Soviet first long-range bomber, the Figure-16 "獾", which was developed in the late 1950s.
At present, the Chinese military has about 180 various versions of the H-6. Chinese aviation industry enterprises have upgraded and rebuilt long-range bombers several times to improve engines, avionics, layout and fuel systems.
With no additional fuel tanks and no aerial refueling, the maximum range of the H-6 is only 3,500 to 5,000 km (compared to the Russian voyage 160-160 and the US B-52 with a maximum range of 10,000 to 11,000 km). In addition, the Chinese military's maximum bomb load on the H-6 is too low (less than 10 tons, compared with 45 tons of the Tu-160 and 30 tons of the B-52).
Ke Liulin believes that the H-6 will become a new generation of bombers that completely replace the H-6. According to foreign media reports, the range of the H-20 will reach 12,000 kilometers, and the maximum bomb capacity will reach 10 to 20 tons.
The H-20 takes a flying wing design and looks a bit like the American B-2 "Ghost" bomber. The H-20 will fly at subsonic speeds (less than 1000 kilometers per hour), but due to the widespread use of stealth technology, it is less likely to be discovered by radar.
All the weapons of the H-20 are located in the built-in magazine, not the external suspension. It is estimated that the H-2’s arsenal will consist of various air-guided bombs and different range missiles, including strategic missiles.
Ke Liulin said: "The Chinese are gradually giving up the principle of copying and blindly borrowing foreign technology. In recent years, they are developing original designs, but the experience in the field of strategic aviation is not very rich, it is likely to be manufacturing engines, weapons and radiation protection. There are problems with the material."
According to reports, the development of the H-20 has raised concerns in the US Department of Defense. In a report to the Senate, the Pentagon stated that China is seeking to expand the coverage of ground military operations.
Ke Liulin said: "For the US base and China's borders so close, China is unlikely to feel that it does not care. China needs to protect the interests of the South China Sea, and like Russia has the ability to carry out asymmetric counterattacks against the United States. If there is no real nuclear Trinity power, it is almost impossible to do this. And China does not currently have such a nuclear trinity."
