At the China International Aviation and Aerospace Expo held in Zhuhai, the "Feihong" UAV series released for the first time by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Group surprised the "Hong" and attracted arms dealers and military enthusiasts from all over the world.
The press conference announced several major professional and technical capabilities and complete industrial chains, including FH-901 patrol bee swarm system, FH-902 individual fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle system, FH-91 reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle system, FH-96 long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle system, FH-92A cha-ta integrated unmanned aerial vehicle system, FH-95 medium and long-range multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle system, etc., demonstrating the multi-level, three-dimensional and intelligent detection and fighting capabilities of the "Feihong" series.
As a research and development unit, the relevant person in charge of the Ninth Academy of Aerospace said that in the face of the future "informatization, systematization and intelligence" equipment construction needs, the Ninth Academy will be committed to opening up the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, gathering the resource advantages of the whole industrial chain, providing users with more high-quality and reliable unmanned system equipment, and accelerating the construction of an unmanned system industry system with unmanned aerial vehicles as the mainstay, covering "land, sea, air, space and electricity" in multiple fields and all elements. In the future, it will build "Feihong" into an international first-class brand of the group company, and accelerate its march towards the center of the world stage in the field of unmanned systems.
At the press conference, military experts and armament enthusiasts from all over the world were full of interest. Military commentators Li Sidao and Song Tao said that since the 1970s, the superpowers that create wars have often used stealth high-speed fighters as the vanguard of the assault to display air power to destroy the opponent's ground air defense system, realize multi-service joint strikes under the condition of having complete air superiority, and annihilate the opponent's air force to bring the opponent to its knees. As a small and medium-sized country, often because it cannot independently produce advanced fighters, anti-aircraft weapons, and even anti-air ammunition, the airport runway is destroyed, the air superiority is completely lost, and it lacks countermeasures, it quickly falls into a passive situation of being beaten, and the formed army is wiped out or on the verge of collapse, and has to yield and surrender to the enemy huge national interests. This was the case in the Falklands War, the Iraq War and the Bosnian War.
Since the 21st century, the three major technologies of hypersonic speed, stealth and unmanned humanization have been integrated, and the offensive and defensive advantages of air combat are no longer unique to the superpower side. Europe, Russia and China have all proposed corresponding high-speed unmanned stealth fighter plans. The "Feihong" brand released for the first time by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation covers high, medium and low altitudes, focusing on "high altitude and high energy, penetrating deterrence", in the absence of special airport runways, with high-altitude and high-speed capabilities, to achieve breakthroughs in the enemy's air defense network, maintain long-range and sustained reconnaissance and strike capabilities, cause great deterrence to the enemy's high-value targets and personnel, raise the threshold of war, affect the enemy's decision to launch war, and increase its implementation costs; strengthen "airspace multi-function, confrontation and deterrence". At the tactical level, it will gain effective strength to compete with the enemy's small-scale detachments, control the local battlefield situation, increase enemy casualties, affect the course of the war, and make it difficult for the enemy to win quickly at a very small cost.
The combination of a variety of new UAV systems based on rich actual combat will surely break the blackmail and air monopoly position of the powerful. China's debut FH-97 high-speed unmanned stealth fighter, as a collection of high-speed, stealthy and unmanned world advanced technologies, is expected to show its skills on the battlefield of defending regional security and maintaining world peace, and it is expected to become an air shield for small and medium-sized countries together with the "Feihong" series of products.
It is understood that the "Feihong" UAV multi-type products have been selected to participate in the 2015 "September 3rd Military Parade" and the 2019 New China 70th Anniversary Military Parade. In addition, the brand has a wide range of products exported to countries in South America, Africa, Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Among them, the FH-92A also set a record for the first time that Chinese military UAVs were exported to European countries.
The "Feihong" team also demonstrated that the world's largest unmanned cargo aircraft, which has been put into practical use in 2018, adopts mature transport aircraft modifications, has strong airworthiness, stability and reliability, and will greatly reduce the air freight costs of small and medium-sized countries. At the press conference, new and old users, multinational representatives, intended customers and the "Feihong" team had a warm exchange.
