At the same time, two of the world's most famous defense weeklies also carried out a large-scale report and analysis on the launch of China's new wave-piercing catamaran stealth missile boat for sea trials.
Jian's Defense Weekly said that the photos show that China's new wave-piercing catamaran stealth missile boat was launched at the Changxing shipyard in Jiangnan, China, and tested in a certain area of the East China Sea.
Another Khan He Defense Weekly also did not hesitate to praise it, saying that this missile boat is enough to make the Chinese Navy a sharp weapon in China's coastal waters to make the US Navy retreat!
Once a large number of such missile boats are launched into service, the superiority of the US Navy in China's coastal waters will no longer exist.
From the analysis of the photos, it seems that this missile boat has two anti-ship missile launch boxes, but the number of missiles it carries is unknown, and it can only be speculated that it can carry eight Chinese YJ-82 or 83 anti-ship missiles, and the range of these two missiles is more than 120 kilometers in the former and even more than 250 kilometers in the latter.
The YJ-83 anti-ship missile first appeared at China's National Day military parade in 1999, and the on-site announcer's introduction of "this is a new type of domestically produced supersonic anti-ship missile" has already attracted the attention of naval experts from all over the world.
Shen Huan has just been appointed as the assistant director of the technology innovation center of the Engineering Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Group, and received a special task, that is, on behalf of the technology innovation center, go to Zhuhai to participate in the third Zhuhai Aerospace Expo, in this air show, a series of forums will be held, in fact, the Zhuhai air show at this time is not only an aerospace expo, including army equipment and naval equipment, have begun to appear in the air show.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the Zhuhai Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition should be called the Zhuhai Defense Expo, of course, this is not comprehensive, because the Zhuhai Aviation Exhibition not only has military products, but also many civilian products.
Shen Huan was also very excited when he received this task!
Because this time he went to Zhuhai, he was going to give a speech at the forum on behalf of China Shipbuilding Industry Group!
Of course, the focus is on the technology of the pulsating production line of ships, as well as the technical exchange of ship digitalization.
This time, he can see Chief Engineer Yang Wei and Chief Engineer Zhang Hong again, Shen Huan is also looking forward to it, he knows that the pulsating production line of the Aviation Industry Group is also progressing very smoothly, and it should not be long before it will be put into trial.
In Shen Huan's memory, the third Zhuhai Air Show was the most prosperous, and after two air shows, the Zhuhai Air Show has attracted the attention of the world and has become the fourth largest air show in the world.
At the same time, this year's air show also has the big names above to cut the ribbon in person, Shen Huan is also looking forward to it, this time he is an invited expert to participate in the air show, which is different from the last time.
Indeed, this year's Zhuhai Air Show, in terms of publicity and promotion, has done a lot of work, so in the end there will be more than 300 manufacturers to participate in the air show, and the indoor booth area is far higher than the previous one, of course, there are various press conferences, signing ceremonies, new product promotion meetings, academic exchanges and forums, etc., are far more than the previous air show, and even the sum of the previous two air shows.
Why is it the most prosperous, because this air show also has more than a dozen foreign military delegations and government delegations to attend the opening ceremony.
Of course, there will be more reporters from the news media who will come to cover and report, and more than 1,000 reporters from more than 200 media will come, and this is also a grand event for the world to pay attention to the air show held by China.
Of course, there is a very big change, that is, with the popularization of the domestic Internet, many military fans come to participate in the air show, and will publish a lot of on-site photos through forums on the Internet, setting off a wave of enthusiasm on the Internet.
Liu Yulong, deputy general manager of China Shipbuilding Industry Group, who was invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the Zhuhai Air Show, will lead a team to Zhuhai, in addition to Shen Huan, there are several experts, but China Shipbuilding Industry Group will not arrange a booth to participate in the exhibition this time.
At this year's air show, the biggest stars will be the SU30MKK and KA50 aircraft, but China's Eagle Strike 83 anti-ship missile, the appearance of the air show will also attract widespread attention, this is the third Zhu Hai air show in Shen Huan's memory.
As for China's aircraft, the most interesting thing for Shen Huan is, of course, the J-7 MF fighter developed by AVIC 611, although only the model can be seen at the air show, but Shen Huan knows that Chief Yang Wei will definitely come to the air show, and when the time comes, you can learn from him, in his previous life, Shen Huan, as a military fan, especially hoped that this fighter could become a fighter that could be used or exported!
Because in Shen Huan's view, the J-7 MF fighter should be regarded as the ultimate magic modification of the J-7 fighter or the MiG-21 fighter, as for the Thunder fighter, many people say that it is also an improved version of the J-7, but Shen Huan doesn't think so, the Thunder Dragon fighter has nothing to do with the J-7, and it can be regarded as a newly designed fighter.
And the J-7 MF fighter that will be unveiled at this air show is the real ultimate modification of the J-7 fighter.
It uses a belly air intake similar to the J-10 fighter, of course, this is still different from the J-10's adjustable belly air intake, it is a fixed air intake, similar to the F16 fighter of the United States, except that the J-7 MF is rectangular above, and the F16 air intake is oval, called the pitot tube air intake.
There is also the J-7 MF will use a new landing gear, double delta wings, an integral front windshield, a larger vertical tail, a wing-body fusion design, and a pair of small fixed canards, all of which mean that its improvement can be said to be quite large, in the eyes of military fans, this is called the ultimate magic change.
The J-7 MF fighter retains the design of the original J-7 fighter except for the rear fuselage, and other places have been changed so that they are almost unrecognizable.
These are external improvements, and the improvements in the avionics system are also quite large, the original dense instruments in the cockpit of the J-7 fighter have been replaced by three display screens, and it can be said that the design of the cockpit is already the level of the third-generation aircraft.
This air show is very exciting, and Shen Huan is so excited that he can't sleep.
On November 5, Shen Huan followed Liu Yulong and others to fly directly from Beijin to Zhuhai Airport.
When they arrived at Zhuhai Airport, there were reception staff sent by the organizers, who were responsible for arranging them to stay in the hotel, and Liu Yulong summoned Shen Huan and them in the evening, and everyone talked freely, and finally Liu Yulong also reviewed Shen Huan's speech on the forum, after all, some things cannot be said publicly, but fortunately, Shen Huan has experience in this area, and he avoided it when he wrote.
