There is a saying circulating in the outside world that China's aircraft carrier strike group is a copy of the US military, but in fact this is not the case, and some experts even said: China's aircraft carrier strike group is not a copy of the US military: we have our own system, which is no worse than NATO.
U.S. Carrier Strike Group: A symbol of global projection power
The American aircraft carrier strike group, known as a symbol of global projection of power. This is so because of its ability to quickly project and support military forces around the world. In this regard, it can indeed reflect the maritime hegemony of the United States as a world superpower.
The U.S. aircraft carrier strike group, which has the most advanced and powerful aircraft carriers in the world. Nimitz-class and Ford-class aircraft carriers are the largest and most powerful warships in the world today, and carry a large number of carrier-based aircraft and advanced weapon systems, and have powerful strike and defense capabilities.
In this regard, this means that these aircraft carriers can carry a large number of carrier-based aircraft, project air strike forces to any part of the world in a short period of time, and achieve strikes and restraint against sea, land and air targets.
The U.S. carrier strike group is also highly mobile and strategically flexible. Since the core combat force of the aircraft carrier is carrier-based aircraft, it can carry out air patrol, reconnaissance, and strikes at sea through the long-range mobility of carrier-based aircraft, without being restricted by ground bases.
In addition, we must also know that the US aircraft carrier strike group is usually composed of aircraft carriers, frigates, submarines, supply ships and other ships, which can quickly respond to various military problems and emergencies and carry out all-round strikes and control against sea, air and land targets.
In addition, the US aircraft carrier strike group has strong firepower and combat capability in naval operations. The carrier-based aircraft can perform a variety of tasks, including: ground attack, air defense, anti-submarine warfare, etc., with diversified combat capabilities. In addition, escort ships and submarines are also equipped with advanced weapons systems and combat equipment, which can provide effective protection and support for aircraft carriers.
China's Aircraft Carrier Strike Group: The Rise of Independent R&D and Construction
The rise of China's aircraft carrier strike group is known as the rise of independent R&D and construction. The reason for this is that China has indeed made great strides in the construction of aircraft carriers and the equipment of its ships, and has continuously improved its military strength and maritime combat capabilities.
For the construction of China's aircraft carrier strike group, it mainly relies on independent research and development and the development of domestic equipment. With the investment in this field in recent years, it has to be said that major breakthroughs have been made in the construction of aircraft carriers, the research and development of carrier-based aircraft, and the production and manufacturing of related ship equipment, and no longer rely on foreign technology and equipment.
China's Liaoning, Shandong, and Fujian ships are all independently developed and built by China, which signifies China's military strength and aircraft carrier construction, as well as its influence.
At the same time, China has also independently developed carrier-based aircraft, such as the J-15 carrier-based fighter and the Z-8 helicopter, gradually improving the performance and combat capability of carrier-based aircraft.
At the same time, it has also developed a variety of frigates and submarines as supporting forces for aircraft carrier strike groups, so that a complete maritime combat system can be formed. The continuous updating and upgrading of these equipment has enabled China's aircraft carrier strike group to gradually approach the world-class level in terms of combat capability.
It should be noted that remarkable achievements have also been made in the training of personnel, as well as in combat readiness. During this period, the mainland has indeed continuously increased the training and training of naval personnel to improve their combat quality and combat capability. At the same time, it has also actively participated in international military cooperation and joint exercises to enhance the troops' comprehensive combat capability and ability to cope with complex situations.
In fact, seeing this, we can deeply feel the strength of China's aircraft carrier strike group. But why do we say that we have our own carrier strike group system, which is no worse than NATO?
The reason for this statement is that China has made remarkable achievements in the construction of aircraft carrier strike groups, and if compared with NATO's aircraft carrier strike groups, it actually has matching strength and capabilities.
At present, China has the Liaoning, Shandong, and Fujian ships, and is building more new aircraft carriers. Although there is still a certain gap compared with the number of aircraft carriers in NATO, the technical level and combat capability of China's aircraft carriers have gradually approached, and even surpassed the aircraft carriers of some NATO member states.
Among them, there are also self-developed carrier-based aircraft, as well as ship equipment, which have also been significantly improved in performance, making China's aircraft carrier strike group have stronger combat capabilities.
In addition, China has not only equipped frigates, submarines and other ships around the aircraft carrier, forming a complete fleet formation, but also strengthened the air, surface and underwater protection of the aircraft carrier. At the same time, it has also strengthened military exchanges and cooperation with other countries, absorbed advanced operational concepts and experiences from the world, and continuously enhanced its own comprehensive combat capability.
All in all, there may indeed be a gap between China's carrier strike group and NATO in some respects. But from a practical point of view, it already has the strength and capabilities to match NATO's carrier strike group.
In particular, with the continuous development and growth of the Chinese Navy, China's aircraft carrier strike group will play a more important role in the future and make greater contributions to safeguarding national maritime rights and interests and regional security and stability.
