The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to spread, and the competition between the two sides on the battlefield is becoming more and more intense, showing no signs of stopping. In the midst of this tense standoff, Russian media published a striking news on June 11: the Russian-developed Lancet drone successfully destroyed a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jet in an operation.
In the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine's Su-27 fighter jets have been shot down by Russia, and the strength of the Ukrainian air force has shown a declining trend.
After learning of this news, the military review media in the United States did not comment and analyze the Russian-Ukrainian war, but began to speculate on the strength of the continental air force.
This remark by a commentator in the US media has aroused widespread concern in the international community. They believe that the Chinese Air Force has surpassed Russia in the modernization of equipment and the technical level, which leads to the conclusion that the Chinese Air Force is stronger than the Russian Air Force.
Ukraine's hard work
Since the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine has not occupied a military advantage, and has been struggling to support it with the help of Western countries, although Western countries have given economic assistance, but there is no assistance in terms of large military weapons.
As Ukraine's military equipment is gradually depleted in the conflict with the Russian army, Ukraine has been forced to use those long-obsessed Soviet-era weapons in an attempt to fight Russia.
However, this kind of resistance is powerless in the context of modern warfare, like a mantis arm blocking a car, and it is difficult to resist the modern military power of the Russian army.
The Su-27 fighter jet launched by Ukraine was once recognized as one of the most advanced fighters in the world around the world, and enjoys a high reputation on the international stage for its excellent performance and combat capabilities. However, with the passage of time and the rapid development of technology, even the advanced fighters of the past are now inadequate in some aspects.
Despite this, the Russian-made fighter Su-27 has also become one of the main fighters in Ukraine. In the past Russian-Ukrainian war, the Su-27 has been shot down by Russia many times, and it was the "Lancet" drone developed by the Russian Kalashnikov Group that shot down the Su-27.
The "Lancet" UAV is a cruise missile weapon and is a suicide drone. This is a weapon that allows a long flight in a predetermined area of the target in search mode. When a target is detected, such a drone strikes at it like an "air-to-surface" missile, and at the same time completely destroys itself.
In order to enhance the credibility of the report, the Russian media took a direct and forceful approach: they published a video showing the moment when the Su-27 fighter was shot down. The American military media analyzed the video, and they came to a result: although Russia's air power is stronger than Ukraine's, it is still not enough compared to China.
Comparison conducted by the American media
As the frontier of modern science and technology, Continental has established a leading position in drone technology on a global scale. Whether it is in the civilian field, such as agricultural monitoring, logistics and distribution, environmental monitoring, etc., or in the military field, such as reconnaissance, surveillance, strike, etc., the mainland's UAV technology has won recognition and praise from countries around the world for its excellent performance and high cost performance.
The Chinese Air Force, as an important part of the mainland's defense forces, has been equipped with a large number of advanced UAVs. These UAVs have not only reached the world's advanced level in technology, but also demonstrated strong combat capabilities in actual combat.
They are capable of performing a variety of complex tasks, such as high-altitude reconnaissance, long-range strikes, electronic jamming, and so on, which greatly enhances the combat efficiency and reaction speed of the Air Force.
The US military media published an article on the US military website WDMMA saying that Russia's air power is far inferior to China's, because China is more numerous than Russia in terms of equipment and fighters.
According to the statistics published by the media, the Chinese Air Force is currently equipped with 3,259 fighters in active service. This includes 1,215 fighters, 238 transport aircraft, 261 trainer aircraft, and 120 bombers.
In terms of data, the number of continental fighters has indeed surpassed that of Russia, and the strength of the Chinese Air Force has indeed surpassed that of the Russian Air Force in terms of quantity.
The United States and Western countries believe that if the Chinese Air Force can accomplish what the Russian Air Force can accomplish at a faster pace, this is also the reason why Western countries are worried about the Chinese Air Force.
Peace-loving
The analysis of the US military media is indeed justified, but they are putting the Chinese Air Force on their own template for analysis, not on the Chinese template.
China is not interested in flaunting its military strength, and this low-key and pragmatic attitude makes it possible to attract widespread attention at home and abroad whenever news of the successful development of new equipment comes out.
However, people often ignore that in addition to making continuous breakthroughs in the research and development of weapons and equipment, China pays more attention to the training of its fighters and the improvement of their fighting quality.
In the historical Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Chinese People's Volunteers defeated the well-equipped United Nations army with relatively backward weapons and equipment.
At the "two sessions" in March this year, a reporter asked the deputy commander of the mainland air force about the situation of the new equipment of the air force.
The general revealed to the media: The H-20, independently developed and designed by the Chinese Air Force, will soon be available to the public, and this fighter is definitely worthy of the pride and excitement of all Chinese.
After revealing the news of the H-20, it was natural that he could not avoid being asked the question of which is stronger or weaker. At this point, the answer is often surprisingly unanimous: the original intention of developing new weapons is to safeguard national security and interests, not to show off or engage in an arms race with other countries.
As a new generation of strategic bomber independently developed by the mainland, the appearance of the H-20 marks the technological progress and the improvement of the mainland's national defense strength in the field of aviation. However, we must be clear that the development and deployment of any military equipment is based on the needs of national security and development, and not for the purpose of external display or provocation.
In international relations, China has always pursued a national defense policy that is defensive in nature and adheres to the path of peaceful development. We firmly believe that true security comes from mutual respect and cooperation on an equal footing, not from the contest of military might.
Therefore, even if a breakthrough in military technology is made, we will not easily use it as a capital to show off, let alone use it to make unnecessary comparisons with other countries.
What we would prefer to see is that through continuous technological innovation and military modernization, we can contribute to world peace and stability. We hope to provide more public security products to the international community by strengthening our own defense capabilities and jointly addressing global challenges such as terrorism, cybersecurity, and natural disasters.
