The Western media has long been concerned about the new role played by the vast fleet of æ¼-6 and æ¼7 fighters that the PLA has retired in the future war, because in the "new military revolution" of the PLA, the combat theory and operations of modern warfare Thoughts continue to innovate, and some of the old weapons in the eyes of Western military experts have also given new functions to re-enter the PLA battle sequence.
æ¼-6 UAV officially participated in the exercise
According to the "East Sen News" report, on June 14, the People's Liberation Army quietly launched the East China Sea exercise. For the first time in the exercise, the modified æ¼-6 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was dispatched. The aircraft was once close to the island of Mazu during the exercise. The military intelligence department in Taiwan said that the unmanned reconnaissance plane used to collect enemy radar parameters in terms of tactical use. The Taiwanese "Tiangong" missile and the "Patriot" missile were very cautious for the past two days. Parameters such as radar and electronic warfare will leak.
The Taiwanese military said that the Taiwan area has not yet developed a similar unmanned tactical reconnaissance aircraft. However, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft modified by the retired fighters of the People’s Liberation Army is also in the experimental stage. The military situation on both sides will not be short-term. Have an immediate impact.
In April of this year, the "Ministry of Defense" of Taiwan claimed that the People's Liberation Army Air Force launched the Lianlian Liancheng and Yixu Airports that had been abandoned for many years in 2005, and stationed 36 retired J-6 fighters. The Taiwanese military expects that these modified unmanned combat aircraft wartimes may be used to consume Taiwanese warplanes and anti-aircraft missiles, or to conduct supersonic investigations on key military targets of the Taiwan military. This is also the first time that the military in Taiwan has confirmed that the PLA will use the modified æ¼6 unmanned combat aircraft for practical use.
According to the report of the Canadian "Hanhe Defense Review", the modification work of the æ¼-6 unmanned combat aircraft began around the mid-1990s. A picture of the remote-controlled æ¼6 unmanned aerial vehicle that was released in the official media of mainland China a few years ago showed that it had two auxiliary fuel tanks and a remote control signal receiving pod. It may be because of the speed increase, the original cockpit was dismantled. The People's Liberation Army called the remote control æ¼-6 the "unmanned combat attack aircraft."
The official announcement of the military in Taiwan said that the PLA Air Force apparently used the æ¼-6 unmanned combat aircraft intensively and considered the establishment of the æ¼6 unmanned aircraft attack force. And it may be influenced by the concept of the Israeli drone, and the æ¼-6 is also very likely to be converted into an anti-radar attack aircraft. Wang Changhe, a military commentator in Taiwan who has experience in driving the Mirage 2000-5, F-16 and IDF fighters, said that the æ¼6 can be operated in accordance with the pre-set route and altitude. The voyage is the same as that of the manned æ¼6 fighter. . He called this new tactic of the PLA "the sea tactics." He emphasized that in the air battle, the remote-controlled unmanned aircraft can consume the Taiwan military's air defense missiles, while the æ¼-6 unmanned combat aircraft also has the ability to attack.
Chen Weihao, a military observer from the Taiwan Air Force ground-based radar warfare officer, also said that in terms of combat management, the Taiwan Air Force ground-based radar can judge the height, speed, and take-off location of the aircraft through the radar screen, and analyze the PLA Air Force with voice monitoring. The type and type of aircraft, especially the speeds of the Su-27 and the æ¼-6, are quite different. Chen Weihao said that in recent years, the æ¼-6 has rarely appeared in the Taiwan Strait. However, he stressed that based on the reason of the relative speed and height, the combat radar has certain difficulties in distinguishing between æ¼6 and æ¼-7.
æ¼â€”7 drone is the main force
Although the Taiwanese region believes that the æ¼-6 unmanned combat aircraft has entered the actual combat stage, the editor of the Hanhe Defense Review magazine, Ping Kefu, believes that if the PLA Air Force wants to raise the drone to Taiwan, it will become the main air force of the PLA Air Force. Attack mode, then large-scale development æ¼-7 unmanned combat aircraft will be the focus of the focus.
Pingkov said that some sources claimed that with the mass retirement of the J-7 fighters, more J-7 fighters began to be converted into drones. The partially retired æ¼-7II fighter aircraft is planned to be converted into an anti-radar attack aircraft and an aerial reconnaissance aircraft. The æ¼-7 drone plan retains its basic appearance, while the æ¼-6 unmanned combat aircraft is more experimental, because it is farther than the æ¼-6 fighter, mainly the æ¼-7 fighter, so it hits The scope is even larger. At the same time, the source claimed that because there are still a large number of fighters, the 7 fighters are still serving in the PLA Air Force. Therefore, it is not the æ¼-6 drones, but the æ¼-7 drones that will actually implement harassment and deception in the future. The modified æ¼-6 drone may have more combat missions for close-range ground attack, especially during the PLA's landing operations.
The Hanhe Defense Review claimed that the airborne flight test of the æ¼-7 drone was reported to have been basically completed, the aircraft was ready-made, and the modification time was very short. Mainly to install an automatic remote control flight system, the æ¼-7 UAV used to attack the radar base will install a passive radar signal receiver. Affected by the development of the US military's unmanned battlefield, the Chinese aviation industry is still considering the possibility of mounting weapons on unmanned æ¼-7 drones. However, in the initial stage of combat operations, the æ¼-6 and æ¼-7 themselves will be used as unmanned attack aircraft. The voyage of the æ¼-6 fighter jet without the auxiliary fuel tank was 1390 km. The cruising speed is 900 km/h. The maximum flight of the J-7 fighter is 1480 km and the cruising speed is 970 km/h.
In view of the large voyage of the æ¼-7 drone, if it is used as a drone without recycling, the harassment of the US Navy aircraft carrier battle group during wartime will also consume some of the US military's energy. The People's Liberation Army believes that these expendable operations will offset some of the advantages of the US Navy's shipborne early warning aircraft and fighters, and affect the multi-target search and tracking capabilities of air-to-air missile fire control radars. In addition, the US military bases stationed in Japan, especially the radar units, will also form a considerable deterrent. Because of the huge fleet of J-6 fighters and J-7 fighters, the number of U-6 fighters will be huge once they are fully equipped with troops.
Unmanned combat aircraft affects the air combat mode of the Taiwan Strait
On January 16 this year, Li Wenzheng and Li Yidong, well-known experts in China's aerospace high-tech field, also talked about the reorganization of Chinese retired fighters into drones when they were interviewed on Sina.com. Li Wenzheng served as the director of the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute in China. He participated in and supported the research on the overall design and key technologies of several national key aircraft types. Li Yidong is a researcher at the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute.
Researcher Li Yidong said that the modification work of the currently retired æ¼-5 and æ¼-6 fighters has been done, and many of the target machines used are æ¼-5, æ¼-6 modified, this is not a new topic. However, there are some performance developments that are already underway.
Mr. Li Wenzheng also said that there are currently several aircraft being converted into drones, the main use of which is to use as a target. In addition, some people mentioned that it can be converted into an unmanned attack aircraft. This is also possible, and the relevant departments are demonstrating.
So why do Taiwanese and Western military experts keep a close eye on the modification of the People’s Liberation Army’s unmanned combat aircraft? According to some Western military analysts such as Pinkov, the Taiwan Strait is entering a new era of drone operations. The æ¼-6, æ¼-7 drones actually play the role of unmanned attack aircraft. It may play a major role in the comparison of air power in the Taiwan Strait in the next few years.
First of all, as a remote-controlled drone, it can promote the AWACS and the warfare radar of the Taiwan Air Force to carry out more heavy surveillance work, thereby reducing the number of real multi-target surveillance of the AWACS. For example, the E-2T can track more than 40 air targets at the same time. It is very likely that the E-2T will reduce the threat to multiple batches of the air because the PLA has dispatched a large number of æ¼-6 and æ¼-7 drones. The ability to track the target. After the æ¼-6, æ¼-7 drones, the batches may be manned æ¼-8II fighters, æ¼-10 fighters, and the PLA Air Force ace Su-27 and Su-30 fighters.
Secondly, the æ¼-6 and æ¼-7 UAVs may also become the main tools for the future unmanned battlefield in the Taiwan Strait. Further improvements may make the æ¼-6, æ¼-7 drones carry guided weapons. However, at this stage, it seems that the æ¼-6, æ¼-7 drones have not been trained in the actual guidance of precision guided weapons.
Third, the æ¼-6, æ¼-7 drones themselves are also effective "suicide weapons." After setting a certain route, it is still able to launch attacks on large military facilities such as airports, and even consume Taiwan's airport air defense missiles and artillery shells. Of course, the most threatening is the attack on the radar position.
Fourthly, the conversion cost of the æ¼-6, æ¼-7 UAVs is low and the number is large. The continuous harassment flight will psychologically cause panic and fatigue to the Taiwan Air Force and must be dealt with all day. Air strikes on the æ¼-6 and æ¼-7 UAVs at the People's Liberation Army airport will also cost the air force pilots in Taiwan. On the other hand, the Taiwan region cannot and will improve the same number of unmanned combat aircraft to carry out similar harassment on the mainland side.
Develop a drone aircraft carrier strategy
For the Chinese navy and air force without an aircraft carrier battle group, the confrontation with the US aircraft carrier battle group must be asymmetric. At present, the most talked about "fighting aircraft carrier" strategy is to use the Chinese naval and air force warships, submarines and airborne fighters to launch missile saturation attacks on enemy aircraft carrier battle groups.
In addition, if the Chinese Air Force has a large-scale unmanned combat aircraft group, its attack on the aircraft carrier can not be underestimated. Many domestic military publications, such as the "Military Digest" under the China Aviation Group and the "Shipborne Weapons" under the China Shipbuilding Industry Group, have published articles on several occasions and conducted in-depth discussions on this issue.
These analysis articles show that the drone anti-aircraft carrier is also a sea battle tactic that China has recently researched. Generally, to sink the US Navy aircraft carrier, we must break through four lines of defense: the first is the Aegis warship that escorts the aircraft carrier: the Ticond Roga class cruiser, the Burke class destroyer, and the EA-6B. Long-range electronic interference defense line composed of electronic warfare aircraft such as EA-18G. The second is an underwater defense line consisting of several aggressor nuclear submarines 800 km from the aircraft carrier. It will destroy the enemy ship near the aircraft carrier with the MK48 torpedo. The third line of defense is an air defense line consisting of about 40 F-14 and F-18 fighters, which is 500/km away from the aircraft carrier. It can use the "harpoon" anti-ship missile to destroy enemy surface warships. The fourth line of defense is the Aegis system AN/ADY-1C radar, the "standard" type II long-range air defense missile, the "dense array" near-anti-aircraft, and the improved "sea sparrow" near the US ships. The last line of defense of the aircraft carrier consisting of a missile and a short-range electronic jamming bomb.
The drone has the characteristics of low price, good concealment, high range and no casualties. It is often possible to carry out reconnaissance, attack and interference against the enemy unexpectedly. During the war, the PLA can use a bomber or a sniper bomber to form a formation with a number of unmanned combat aircraft. Concealed flight to an airspace at a certain distance from the aircraft carrier battle group, simulating the real fleet formation, making the enemy judge the mistake, and the division will fight it. Then the PLA attack Forces - Su-27, Su-30 fighters can take advantage of the virtual, and carry out a fierce attack on the aircraft carrier. The effect of the drone modified by the fighter is very obvious, because the aircraft is very close to the level of the real fighter in terms of volume, speed and various detection indicators, and it can induce the aircraft carrier battle group to make mistakes. Although the drone can not cause major damage to the aircraft carrier, it can consume a large number of aircraft carriers' ammunition base, reduce the probability of interception of their own anti-ship missiles, and enhance the missile strike effect. In addition, the "noise" suppression interference can be implemented on the tactical data link communication of the aircraft carrier at a long distance, resulting in data loss, confusion, and delay in response time, thereby destroying its command, control, and communication capabilities.
