Preamble:
It is reported that this kind of airship is successfully independently developed by China and belongs to one of the few countries in the world. The development of stratospheric airships is of great significance to a country's military strength and scientific and technological level, and it also has very high strategic value.
1. Why did the stratospheric airship developed by China appear near the Philippines?
In fact, this is mainly because the stratospheric airship uses the air flow in the upper layer to fly, so its range is very long, and it is also very concealed in the process of flying, so it can fly over the airspace of other countries very easily, and it is not easy to be detected by the radar equipment of other countries in the process.
It may have been on a long-flying mission, and its flight path was most likely designed specifically for observing U.S. military bases, which is why it appeared near the Philippines. Judging from the photos, its appearance did not bring any trouble to the US military, which fully shows that the concealment ability of the stratospheric airship is indeed very strong.
Second, it is the only country that can successfully develop it
In fact, there are not many countries in the world that can develop stratospheric airships, and at present, only China can really succeed in developing them. Stratospheric airship is a very special airship, it can use the stratospheric airflow in the upper layer of the atmosphere to fly, so it can hover in the air for a very long time, and is not affected by terrain, landform and other factors, and it also has a very strong concealment ability in the process of flight.
These advantages also determine that the stratospheric airship has very important military significance and strategic value, so no matter which country, as long as it can independently and successfully develop the stratospheric airship, it can occupy a very big advantage in the future military competition.
Therefore, at the present stage, many major powers in the world have realized the importance of stratospheric airships, and they have also accelerated their own research and development pace, hoping to successfully develop such airships as soon as possible, so as to occupy a certain initiative in future military competition.
Third, countries around the world are aiming at stratospheric airships
1. The mainland has made breakthroughs in key technologies
Whether in the mainland or in other countries, the project of developing stratospheric airships is very large and complex, and it involves many fields, including material science and technology, control technology and aviation manufacturing technology.
The main reason why the mainland has been able to successfully develop this kind of airship is that the mainland has very solid technical reserves in these fields, and the mainland has also made major breakthroughs in key materials and environmental control technologies, which has also provided very strong support for the mainland's successful development of stratospheric airships.
At the present stage, the mainland's technical personnel are also stepping up efforts to develop more of these airships, and want to apply them to more fields, such as military reconnaissance, communications relay, weather forecasting, navigation and guidance, and so on, so as to give full play to their role.
2. Other countries are also developing rapidly
In addition to the mainland, some other countries also attach great importance to the stratospheric airship project, and they have also invested in related research and development work, hoping to make some important technological breakthroughs as soon as possible, so as to occupy a certain advantage in this field.
For example, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and the European Union, etc., these countries have listed stratospheric airships as their future military key equipment, and they have also launched relevant research and development projects, and in the process are actively seeking some international cooperation, wanting to further accelerate their own research and development through cooperation.
One point is very noteworthy, that is, in order to develop stratospheric airships, these countries even took the initiative to give up some other important projects, it can be said that they have devoted themselves to this research and development work, you can imagine how much attention they attach to stratospheric airships.
Epilogue:
It can be seen that the world has now entered a completely new era of military competition, and in order to be able to win in future military competition, various countries have already begun all-round military development and construction, and the development of stratospheric airships is of great significance for occupying stratospheric space and conducting global reconnaissance.
Therefore, whether it is the mainland or other countries, they will not let go of this project, and they will also do their best to devote themselves to this research and development work, hoping to make some important technological breakthroughs as soon as possible, so as to occupy a place in the future military competition.
