CNN: The "Fujian" is not the biggest threat of the U.S. military, and the other four Chinese ships have a greater threat to the United States

Author:Military and military talk Time:2022.06.27

As the US President Biden ran to Germany to participate in the G7 summit, and also had a plan to do with the "Belt and Road" G7 infrastructure plan. Many American media also began to cooperate with the US Biden government to re -introduce and analyze the Chinese military strength. And CNN is one of them.

The U.S. Navy has always been nicknamed the "first -class person" in the U.S. military, so the Chinese Navy, which can have serious challenges to the US Navy, has naturally become the focus of CNN's attention. CNN specially published an analysis of the Chinese Navy's "Fujian" and the maritime power of the Chinese Navy.

CNN believes that as the third and first ejection aircraft carrier, the "Fujian" aircraft carrier is undoubtedly the most advanced aircraft carrier in China. For the Chinese Navy, the "Fujian" aircraft carrier is a "80,000 -ton pearl". The introduction of the new electromagnetic ejection system shows that China is quickly catching up with the United States in the field of aircraft carrier development. The development speed of the Chinese aircraft carrier forces also put pressure on Japan and many Southeast Asian countries with maritime disputes with China.

However, the former US Navy captain and the former combat director of the United States Pacific Command Center, Karl Schuster, said that from the current situation, the "Fujian" aircraft carrier will need to be officially put into use at least three to four years. Essence At the same time, the 80,000 -ton "Fujian" aircraft carrier will also become the best goal of potential opponents. Therefore, the Chinese Navy will spend a lot of time to study how to protect the safety of the "Fujian" aircraft carrier. This means that the escort formation owned by the "Fujian" aircraft carrier may be different from the two aircraft carriers of "Shandong" and "Liaoning".

In addition, Karl Schuster also believes that for China, the distance between the East China Sea, Taiwan Straits, and the South China Sea will not be too far away from mainland China, which means that the huge number of shore airbaves in China can be the Chinese navy in these sea areas in these sea areas. The actions provide sufficient protection, and the "Fujian" aircraft carrier is not necessarily suitable for use in these sea areas. Compared with the "Fujian" aircraft carrier, the Chinese Navy also has 4 types of ships, which can bring greater threats to the U.S. military in the above -mentioned potential conflict waters.

01, 055 large missile destroyer

Once the 13,000 -ton 055 large -scale missile destroyer was launched, it was immediately considered by many Western military observers as the most powerful surface combat ship in the world. 13,000 tons of drainage can be classified as cruisers according to the standards of Western countries. In fact, in the introduction of some Western countries, the 055 driver has indeed been classified as a "missile cruiser".

From the perspective of the shipping system, the 055 major drive is equipped with a dual -wave segment radar, the C -band remote phase control formation alarm radar and X -band radar not only form a complete far -distance matching system, but also use a back -end processor. The information can be directly universal, no need to transform, and the offshore air defense warning and anti -missile combat capabilities are stronger.

In terms of weapon systems, 112 large diameter hot and cold and vertical departure units can not only accommodate carrier-based hypersonic missiles, but also to accommodate the "Eagle-18" supersonic anti-ship missile, HHQ-19 carrier-based air defense missile, "fish fish -8 "anti -submarine missiles and other types of weapons have comprehensive long, medium, and nearly offensive and defensive combat capabilities.

Timothy Heath, a well -known American think tank, a senior analyst of Rand Corporation, once said that the 055 large -scale missile destroyers are larger and stronger than missile destroyers in the United States, Japan, and South Korea. And when China once launched two 055 drivers within a day, it left a deep impression on Western military observers.

The US Congress Research Agency believes that in addition to the first eight 055 drivers, China has begun to build more 055 drivers. For the U.S. Navy, when the 055 is driven by the China -Near Sea, it can completely offset a considerable part of the combat advantage of ship -based aviation.

02, 039 conventional submarine

039 "Yuan" class conventional power submarine is a AIP power submarine that is currently equipped with a large -scale Chinese Navy. Compared with a large number of old -fashioned firewood electric power submarines equipped by the Chinese Navy before, the noise control level of the 039 conventional submarine has reached one The new height has brought great challenges to the US Navy.

According to the Chinese military report submitted to the US Congress in 2021, China has already built 17 conventional submarines of Type 039A/B. In addition, considering the actual combat needs of the Chinese Navy, the Chinese Navy is likely to increase the number of service in the 039 series of submarines to 25.

The types of weapons that can be used in the 039 submarine are very rich. In addition to include underwater technical weapons such as tail -torrent torpedoes and torpedoes, it is also equipped with submarine cruise missiles. Especially the tail flow self -guided torpedo, which mainly relies on the tail flow generated by the surface ship to attack, is difficult to defend it.

In fact, anti -submarine operations are currently not the strength of the US Navy. US Navy Battle Minister Michael Gill made an application to the US Congress last month to retire 9 coastal battleships in advance. One of the important reasons is that these coastal battleships lack sufficient anti -submarine combat capabilities themselves, and cannot cope with the challenges brought by Chinese submarines when fighting in the Asia -Pacific region.

03, merchant ship ferry

When thinking of the Chinese Navy's surface combat power, few people will connect the merchant ship ferry with the Chinese Navy. But in fact, for the Chinese Navy, merchant ship ferry is an indispensable part of the Chinese Navy's combat effectiveness. If the People's Liberation Army wants to cross the Taiwan Strait Island to fight, it will need a large number of merchant ship ferries to transport troops and combat equipment. Although the Chinese Navy already has three 075 amphibious attack ships and a large number of 071 amphibious dock landing ships, these amphibious landing combat ships are basically enough to bear the earliest batch landing troops. , Still need to be transferred to the merchant ship ferry.

CNN said that many commercial vessels in China, such as large commercial semi -submarine vessels at the beginning of the design, have actually considered the needs of military operations. In the previous amphibious landing operations of the PLA, merchant ferry ferries have also appeared. In addition to in the Taiwan Sea, China also operates a large number of civilian ferry companies in the South China Sea. When necessary, these merchant ship ferries can provide 1.1 million tons of ships for the Chinese Navy, which greatly enhances the transportation capacity of the Chinese Navy.

04. Maritime militia

CNN believes that the merchant ship ferry is not the only maritime combat forces that the Chinese Navy can rely on. Chinese maritime militias with more than 100 various ships also provide a lot of help to the Chinese Navy in the maritime struggle. The specific number of ships has a certain controversy. According to the data of the Strategy and International Research Center, China's maritime militia has approximately 122-174 ships.

China ’s maritime militia can also be divided into actual fishing vessels with professional militia vessels and temporary subsidies. Both of them will move in related controversial waters as fishing boats. Although these ships are not equipped with weapons, the hull has been reinforced, and the speed has reached 18-22 sections, which is faster than the current 90%of the world's fishing boats. Create.

The US Navy was tracked and monitored by the Chinese maritime militia during many sailing in the South China Sea. If China's maritime militia believes that they cannot track and monitor the US warships for a long time, they will report to the position of the US warships to the Chinese warships in a timely manner to follow the naval warships to track and monitor the US military ship.

Carl Schuster finally believed that although the Chinese Navy's "Fujian" aircraft carrier could not be served in the short term, it was "imperfect and good foundation." Sooner or later, the aircraft carrier will become the core of the People's Liberation Army Navy -and become a symbol of modern Chinese army capabilities.
