Chapter 1518: America's Trump Card
With the rapid development of modern military technology, satellites are increasingly becoming an important reconnaissance tool. There is a misconception that modern spy satellites are omnipotent and that nothing escapes spy satellites.
But obviously this statement does not stand up to scrutiny. The nuclear tests conducted by India and Pakistan successfully escaped the monitoring of the US military's reconnaissance satellites.
And the most important thing is that satellites have never had real-time global coverage, and there are too many monitoring blind spots. Unless every angle in every part of the world can be covered by remote sensing satellites, it is impossible to achieve global real-time monitoring and coverage. .
And it has also been shown in previous modernization wars that the number of weapons and equipment destroyed in any war is far less than when weapons and equipment were destroyed after the war.
All the facts can only prove one point, that is, the satellite is just a tool made by human beings, and it is impossible for a tool to be smarter than human beings themselves.
In order to ensure the monitoring of high-threat targets around the world, since the US military's Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft retired, the US military also needs a brand new reconnaissance aircraft that can far surpass the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft in all aspects.
Hypersonic speed is a must, and the maximum ceiling needs to be at least 40,000 meters. This is to make most of the air defense weapons in the world unable to attack, and the stealth capability is even more indispensable.
This is the reason for the birth of the Dawn Goddess Project. The Dawn Goddess is a stealth strategic reconnaissance aircraft capable of super high ceiling and super high speed of sound.
There are many indications from the US military that this strategic reconnaissance aircraft has been in service for some time.
And once went deep into the hinterland of Russia to conduct high-altitude strategic reconnaissance. As for whether he has been to the inland sky of his hometown, it is not clear.
The previous hometown did not have much value for strategic investigation, and the gradually modernized hometown is also equipped with a super-powerful over-the-horizon over-the-horizon radar early warning system. trace.
But for this strategic reconnaissance aircraft, the U.S. military still has not made any confirmation, but no matter which media in the world, they all recognize the existence of this reconnaissance aircraft.
Because there are too many examples to prove it.
However, no matter for any country, if this kind of super-sonic stealth reconnaissance aircraft cruises in the air above 30,000 meters, there are not many anti-aircraft missiles in the world that can do anything to this reconnaissance aircraft.
The reason is very simple, there is currently no weapon that can shoot down the Goddess of Aurora.
Even the advanced Russian-made S-300 has a shooting height of only about 30,000 meters, and the cruising altitude of the Goddess of Aurora is between 30,500 and 36,600 meters, and the highest cruising altitude is about 38,000 meters.
So far, Russia's S-400, the United States' own THAAD missile system, and the V-2 air defense and anti-missile missile system of the Red Police Corps have the ability to shoot down this reconnaissance aircraft.
But other countries have no choice, and these three systems are currently not for sale.
Therefore, even if the existence of the Goddess of Dawn is discovered, it is impossible in the eyes of most countries to shoot it down.
It is not enough for the terminal high-altitude area air defense system that is about to enter service in my hometown, and there is no pressure to defeat the goddess of dawn.
Therefore, this makes this super reconnaissance plane, which has never met, a lot of huge threats.
The reason why this reconnaissance plane did not dare to enter the territory of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation is very simple. During the Israeli war, the Iraqi-Syrian Federation had already shown the ability to intercept missiles when they were flying at the end.
For a country with this capability, the interception altitude of its air defense missiles is all at the edge of the atmosphere, and it is very easy to intercept aircraft at an altitude of about 30,000 meters.
As for the speed of the goddess of dawn, which is nearly Mach 6, it will not be more difficult to intercept than the ballistic missile at the end.
What's more, the anti-stealth detection capabilities demonstrated by the Iraq-Syria Federation also made the United States dare not act recklessly. At that time, the relationship between the two sides had not reached such a point, and the United States had to consider the relationship between the two sides.
But now, the United States really dare not casually send such an expensive strategic reconnaissance plane over a country that can find and shoot it down.
Of course, the Goddess of Aurora that the United States is going to take out at this moment is not a reconnaissance plane. After all, no matter how powerful the reconnaissance plane is, it does not have combat effectiveness.
The Goddess of Aurora, which is now regarded by the United States as a trump card, is a follow-up improved version, in order to continue to suppress the improved aircraft made by the hometown and Russia in the development of the sixth fighter jet in the future.
The improved Goddess of Dawn is generally called the Goddess of War among the high-level U.S. military. This is a combat aircraft that replaces a large number of detection equipment and detection sensors with weapons. Eighty percent of the maximum take-off weight of all is Fuel, also greatly reduced the fuel load, changed to a weapon system.
It makes it a super air combat platform capable of ultra-high-altitude combat and capable of flying at speeds exceeding Mach 8 at the highest ceiling.
Even on this, the laser weapon that will be installed on the sixth fighter is installed.
It is as if the original F-117 stealth aircraft were used as a technical reserve and test platform for the Raptor fighter, thus the Raptor fighter was born.
The vast amount of experience and technology accumulated during the development of the Goddess of Dawn is also the most powerful support for the US military in the development of the sixth-generation fighter.
This is a major advantage of the United States that is different from China and Russia, and even this advantage has now been transformed into a higher level of combat capability.
It is conceivable that such a combat aircraft capable of flying at high altitudes above Mach 6 is simply a nightmare for any fighter.
Because even the most advanced air-to-air missiles cannot catch up to such an air platform, and even the light spots of the tail nozzles cannot be seen.
This has always been a highly confidential killer, and it is also an ace in the air in the hands of the United States. Originally, in the eyes of the United States, this would be the ultimate means to deal with China and Russia.
But I didn't expect that facing the opponent of the Iraq-Syria Federation, in just a few days, the U.S. military was forced to use this trump card.
At this moment, Cai Ruichen didn't know that in order to win a war, the US military had already decided to use the trump card.
And it was to deal with Cai Ruichen himself. The existence of the Super MiG made the United States feel a huge threat, and it could even be said that it was difficult to sleep and eat.
For Cai Ruichen, the Super MiG has always been a trump card in his hands. Once the two sides encounter each other, it will really be a good match, a real trump card against the trump card.
PS: I believe that many senior military fans know that the weapon units presented in this book, except for black technology, are not fancy nonsense. Tomorrow, the public account will also release some related content about the Goddess of Dawn. Interested students may wish to Take a closer look and see what the reconnaissance plane that the US military replaced the Blackbird is. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
