For the first time, the official announcement of the "Three Machines and the same frame", hiding a triple breakthrough behind

At the press conference of the Air Force Aviation Open Activities and Changchun Aviation Exhibition held on the 24th, the Chinese Air Force spokesman Shen Jinshen University of Science and Technology announced the "Three Machinery Same Frames" photos of the oil-20 and J-20 and J-16 Essence

It was no surprise that this photo immediately swiped the screen.

However, the reason why this photo is hotly debated is not just as simple as netizens. Behind it, there is a major breakthrough of the Chinese Air Force behind it.

First of all, Chinese main warfare aircraft have the ability to get oil in the air.

Chinese Air Force expert Wang Mingzhi said that after an air refueling, the aircraft's combat radius can increase by 30%-35%. Air refueling capabilities have greatly improved the remote maneuverability of the Chinese Air Force, and it is also conducive to the development of the Air Force's long-range precision strike capacity.

Therefore, all the new generation of main warfare aircraft models of the Chinese Air Force, including J-10C, J-16, and J-20, have the ability to get oil. Not long ago, when the Chinese Air Force announced the oil-20 for the first time, it emphasized that it had conducted air refueling training in the direction of the F-16.

At the press conference, Shen Jinke also specially emphasized that as a new generation of air refueling equipment in China, the oil-20 and J-20, J-16, and J-10C three fighters have carried out many air supply training in the sea.

Secondly, as a multi-functional air refueling transport aircraft, the oil-20 has multiple refueling capabilities.

Wang Mingzhi said: "The oil transportation-20 has a refueling pod under the left and right wings, which can achieve more refueling, which greatly improves the efficiency of the refueling. This also means that it can refuel the air in the combat formation, so that the combat formation is farther. "

The oil transportation-20 displayed on the ground, the refueling pod under the wing is clearly visible

Wang Mingzhi said that the signal of the public appearance of the oil-20 is a signal that the Chinese air refueling technology has achieved a major breakthrough, marking that the key strategic technology of China's air refueling is very mature. Wang Mingzhi further explained that air refueling technology is a strategic technology. No other country will cooperate with China, and no country is willing to grant technology to China. China has developed this technology on the basis of independence and independence.

The successful research and development of the oil-6 tanker before the oil-6 refueling machine made the key technical field of China's air refueling achieve zero breakthroughs. As a result, China has mastered the basic principles of air refueling technology and realized the air refueling of some combat aircraft such as J-8D and J-10 Essence However, the ability of the oil-6 is not enough. Both the volume and the amount of refueling that can be provided are relatively limited. "From the oil-6 to the oil transportation-20, it marks that we have achieved major breakthroughs in using domestic large aircraft platforms to develop their own special aircraft. The ability of offense and defense and remote delivery has been greatly improved. "

Third, the oil transport-20 also gives different types of aircraft for air refueling, which also means that it can ensure the air refueling needs of the entire flight formation at the same time.

Wang Mingzhi said, "The combat formation is usually composed of a variety of aircraft. With the oil transportation -20, a system of combat aircraft group can achieve long-range combat through air refueling. A quick combat deployment can be performed with the support of the air tanker, so that the opponent cannot accurately grasp the movement and avoid being hit by the opponent. "

Therefore, behind the display of the "three machines and the same frame", it reflects the major breakthrough of the Chinese Air Force. This is as emphasized by Shen Jinke: the Chinese Air Force has a firm will, fully confidence, and sufficient ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
