Happy birthday to the people's air force after watching the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's air force
On November 11, the people's air force celebrated its 70th anniversary. Over the past 70 years, the air force has been tempered in the flames of war and grown in combat, realizing extraordinary construction and leapfrog development. A few days ago, when celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the air force, China's senior leaders said that they should strive to "build the people's air force into a world-class air force in an all-round way". So, what should the world's first-class air force look like? How can we build a world-class air force?
Systematic advanced equipment is the foundation
In an interview with the global times on November 10, Fu Qianshao, an expert of the Chinese air force, said that double 11 is not only a shopping festival, but also the birthday of the people's air force. As for how to build a world-class air force, outpost Fu said that Chinese officials had previously proposed to build a first-class army, which is for the whole army. From the perspective of air force services, it is also logical to build a world-class air force. " "Integrating air and space with both attack and defense" is the development strategy of the people's air force. The ultimate goal is to build a world-class air force.
Systematic advanced equipment is the foundation for building a world-class air force. On the 10 day, the air force released the official account of WeChat public, which launched the theme of the strong army, "my love for the blue sky of the motherland". Advanced equipment such as j-20 fighter, j-16 fighter, yun-20 transport aircraft and hongqi-9 ground to air missile appeared one by one. The promotional film also showed the training scene of h-6n strategic bomber for the first time.
The article of Yahoo News on the 10th quoted the latest report of Hong Kong media that the Chinese air force has more than 2700 aircraft, including more than 2000 fighters. A Pentagon report said that the Chinese air force is the largest in Asia and the third largest in the world. Of course, today is no longer an era of winning by scale, but more depends on quality. In recent years, the air force equipment has achieved leapfrog development, and many weapons and equipment reaching the world advanced level have been put into service one after another. Yahoo News reported on the 10th that the PLA Air Force has put the j-20 stealth fighter into service, which is the first stealth fighter in service in the region.
The first exposure of h-6n during the military parade is another progress in the strategic strike capability of the PLA Air Force. According to Taiwan's Zhongshi Electronic News reported on the 10th, the biggest change in the shape of h-6n is that the nose cone increases the air receiving oil pipe, while the belly has a half groove. It is reported that after aerial refueling, the operational range of h-6n is 500 kilometers wider than that of h-6k and can exceed 4000 kilometers. " In theory, the long sword-100 can make the strike range of h-6n reach about 6000 km '.
The world-class air force should not only have a certain equipment scale, but also develop systematically. The PLA Air Force has always maintained a relatively large number of aircraft, but in the early stage of development, the types of aircraft are relatively single, mainly fighter aircraft, combined with a small number of bombers, assault aircraft and transport aircraft. The support models are blank for a relatively long period of time, and there are many shortcomings in capacity. This equipment configuration is acceptable for land air defense operations, and its ability to support ground operations, long-range delivery and long-range strike is weak. At the military parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China, the air force systematically displayed the support system, including early warning aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, electronic jammer, psychological warfare aircraft, etc., which laid a solid material foundation for realizing "both attack and defense".
Fu Qianshao believes that in the past, the people's air force had many shortcomings in the construction of equipment system. At present, it is making up for them to enhance its comprehensive combat capability. For example, there were no aerial refueling aircraft, electronic countermeasure aircraft and electronic reconnaissance aircraft before. Now there are not only aircraft, but also some aircraft types have reached the world advanced level after filling the gap. After 70 years of development, the people's air force has continuously improved its weapons and equipment. Fighters have leapt from the first generation and the second generation to the third generation and the fourth generation. This is a vertical comparison of one type of fighter. From a horizontal point of view, there are more and more types of fighters, more and more models, and a more perfect system.

Close to actual combat training is an important way
Scientific and practical military training is an important way to build a world-class air force.
In recent years, the air force has organized a series of exercises such as "red sword", "Blue Shield", "gold helmet", "gold dart" and "power engine", and military training has been moving closer to actual combat. In particular, the launch of the 'Qingdian' brand has brought the air force's training in the world's military frontier field of electronic warfare to a new level. The air force spokesman previously said that on the basis of the 'four training brands', the air force launched a new brand of' engine power 'for practical training to comprehensively improve the air force's electronic warfare capability. According to experts, in information system operations, whoever seizes the control of electromagnetic power will take the initiative in the war. In the military parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China, electronic warfare aircraft is an important part of the support aircraft echelon. In training and preparing for war in the new era, the air force has taken new steps in strengthening the construction of electronic warfare capability. " As a new brand of actual combat training of the air force, the "engine electric" exercise is leading the air force to comprehensively improve its electronic warfare capability.
The earlier 'four training brands' are also constantly improving. Taking the 'golden helmet' as an example, from the initial point system to the shooting down system, from post evaluation to real-time evaluation, from one-to-one to two-to-two, the pilot rated it as' infinitely close to actual combat '.
The above brand training basically covers the main combat capabilities of the air force, including air to ground, air defense and electronic warfare, while the 'red sword' exercise is a systematic exercise integrating the above capabilities. The officers and men participating in the exercise and training have been trained in technology, tactics and campaign command. On this basis, the air force continued to "go out, please come in" and carried out joint exercises and training with foreign forces. China Pakistan 'Eagle' series, China Thailand 'Eagle strike' series exercises and other joint exercises and joint training have continuously expanded the depth and breadth of air force training. In the video pushed by the 'air force release' on the 10th, there was a picture of the formation flight of Chinese h-6k and Russian TU-95 bombers, which should be the picture of the first joint cruise of Chinese and Russian bombers.
Fu Qianshao said that the equipment of the people's air force has developed to the fourth generation of fighters. With the improvement of fighter combat performance and combat radius, the corresponding training methods and combat methods of the air force are also improving. It has been decades since the people's Air Force's last air combat record. In peacetime, it is necessary to improve the air force's comprehensive combat capability through simulation training, combat training and flight training close to actual combat.
Fu Qianshao believes that the training aircraft system of the people's air force used to be relatively backward. At present, both basic and advanced training aircraft have reached the world-class level, and can train a batch of qualified people's Air Force pilots in a shorter time and higher efficiency.

Building a floating air Quartermaster innovation and Transcendence
A military expert told the global times that the PLA Air Force was a latecomer and once a follower in the aerospace field. The successful experiences and lessons of the air forces of all countries in the world can be used for reference, which also provides power for the rapid and leapfrog development of the people's air force. When the people's air force develops to a new height, stands at a new historical starting point and competes for future air and space advantages, it needs more innovative consciousness and courage to surpass.
In fact, the people's air force has many innovative genes. In the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, the air force of the volunteer army put forward the air combat tactical principle of "one domain, multi-layer, four-four system", the emergence of combat formations such as "snake formation", and the invention and application of tactical actions such as "upward comprehensive maneuver and downward comprehensive maneuver", which reflect the light of innovative wisdom. During the period of territorial air defense, the ground to air missile troops of the people's air force creatively carried out "mobile ambush", invented "near fast warfare", and stood at the forefront of "electronic countermeasures" in the world, all reflecting their sense of innovation. In the course of decades of development, the PLA Air Force has created many firsts in the history of world air combat and air defense, which is a direct embodiment of the courage to innovate and surpass.
In recent years, there have been many innovations in the development of air force equipment. The j-20's lift body side strip canard layout is unique among the new generation of stealth fighters in various countries. The new high-altitude high-speed UAV first disclosed at the military parade to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China once again demonstrated the innovative ability of China's Air Force's combat means.
