#美称要让中国恐惧 China Air Force Response # Not long before, the new US Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, blackmailed China, shouting that "we must develop advanced technologies that are enough to frighten China", when Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying responded: "The US side should first ask the Chinese Air Force whether it agrees"; since the Foreign Ministry openly shouted at the PLA, it is obviously very inappropriate for the latter not to show its attitude.
Subsequently, on August 31, Chinese Air Force spokesman Colonel Shen Jinke, in conjunction with the Foreign Ministry, confronted the US side and responded to Frank Kendall's wild remarks with two "not afraid": The officers and men of the Chinese Air Force, one is not afraid of suffering and the other is not afraid of death, resolutely defends national security, and firmly safeguards national interests; in fact, in summary, the PLA is equivalent to responding to the three words of "disagreement" that are extremely insulting to the United States, after all, it is the us side that provoked it first, and now being intimidated can only be humiliated by itself.
It has been learned that at the press conference of the 13th China International Aviation and Space Expo on the morning of August 31, a domestic reporter raised relevant questions with Shen Jinke, spokesman of the Chinese Air Force, and after responding with two "not afraid" responses, Senior Colonel Shen Jinke reviewed the development process of the Chinese Air Force since its founding for more than half a century.
In mid-August, frank Kendall, the new US Secretary of the Air Force, said in an interview with the media that his main goal during his tenure was to "develop advanced technology that frightens China and to create advanced equipment that scares China." Originally, when he said this, everyone thought it was a speech about the current sixth-generation aircraft program of the US Air Force, "NGAD", but in fact he was talking about the F-35, which was jokingly called "Fat Electric", and Frank Kendall believed that the latest upgrade of the F-35 would become the "nightmare" of the Chinese Air Force.
This statement is quite Indian to be honest, because no matter how much you brag about the F-35, this thing does have a lot of similarities with the Indian LCA! I first knew about the F-35 as a war-themed game from 2005, and now 16 years after the game was released, and the most basic model of the F-35 has not frozen the technical details!
Although Loma and the U.S. Department of Defense have blown their production lines to the point of a frenzy, it is clear that the biggest role is to cover up the fact that research and development is inefficient! Frank Kendall, as a civilian officer in the U.S. Air Force department, of course, he stood and talked without waist pain, anyway, he didn't know anything to brag about it, these words don't talk about us, even the U.S. Air Force pilots who are serving on the F-35 will definitely find it funny.
It is undeniable that the US aviation industry is unique in the world, as long as they are given time and Congress allocates enough funds, then they will certainly be able to develop advanced products that lead the international trend, but it is not that they have not made failed products, the F-35 is like this, Congress, the Ministry of Defense has been touted for so many years, what is the opinion of the military?
The U.S. Navy has made their plan clear, the F-35C aircraft in the U.S. Navy at most the number of equipment is 350 aircraft level, to put it bluntly, it is full, all aircraft carriers fill up the carrier-based aircraft and then half of them can be F-35C, the other half is F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, would rather use a previous generation carrier-based aircraft than equip more "good and cheap" F-35C, how disgusted is this?
The U.S. Air Force is more disgusted with the F-35, during the 2019 "Red Flag" military exercise, a senior pilot bluntly said to reporters: "When performing air defense patrol tasks, we think that about 8 F-35As can be worth one F-22A", and then the US Navy and Air Force set off a wave of disgust and criticism of the F-35, which led to frank Kendall's boasted "divine machine" bad comments.
Now the US military has been equipped with three or four hundred F-35s, compared with the Platon Army, their efficiency of equipping new aircraft is indeed very high, but on the other hand, if these are not F-35s, but real high-performance fighters, China's air defense pressure is not the current level, so it is the United States' past wrong strategic prediction that led to today's dilemma.
Now in order to make up for even the U.S. Air Force's plans to build a new batch of F-15EXs with more than ten squadrons to meet the operational needs of the Western Pacific, it is even planned to equip the latter with a small drone that can carry 1-2 AIM-120 missiles and mount them on the auxiliary fuel tank pylon of the F-15 to extend the strike range and compete with the new generation of fighters of the Chinese Air Force.
It can only be said that to this situation, the development strategy of the United States for a long time in the past was completely wrong; of course, the next generation of NGAD of the US military may indeed be more powerful, but at that time, the next generation of fighters of the Chinese Air Force should also come out, after all, in this regard, China is stronger than the historical Soviet Union, because the gap between China and the United States in aviation technology is far smaller than the public thinks, and at that time can they still say such words as "make China afraid"?
