According to the official account of the mainland, a certain department of the Navy in the Eastern Theater conducted a cross-day and night carrier-based helicopter take-off and landing support training, and in this process, the domestically produced Type 075 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship "Anhui Ship" also participated.
There are even photos leaked out of it, and it can be seen that all the six take-off and landing points on the flight deck of the "Anhui ship" are full of helicopters.
Regarding this matter, many military fans said: The appearance of China's 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship "Anhui Ship" does not mean that it can effectively deal with the submarine threat of the United States and Japan in the future.
So is this true?
There are endless rumors that the 075 "Anhui ship" can deal with the threat of American and Japanese submarines.
In fact, China's naval strength has indeed made great strides in recent years, but there is still a certain gap in its anti-submarine warfare capability, and the superiority of traditional maritime powers such as the United States and Japan in the field of submarines has undoubtedly brought pressure and challenges to China.
The Chinese Navy is actively seeking new solutions to improve its anti-submarine warfare capabilities, and the appearance of the Type 075 amphibious assault ship is one of them.
But want to really assess whether the 075 ship will be able to deal with the US and Japanese submarine threats?
Judging from the technical level, the Chinese Navy has indeed made corresponding achievements in the development of antisubmarine technology, but at present, if we compare it with the United States and Japan, there is indeed a certain gap, so whether the 075 ship can effectively deal with the submarine threat of the United States and Japan? It is also necessary to consider its actual performance in terms of technical equipment and combat capability.
From the point of view of fleet size and deployment. In contrast to the United States and Japan, which have large submarine fleets and extensive global deployments, China's submarine fleets are relatively small and concentrated in the waters around their homeland.
Therefore, it is still difficult to effectively deal with the submarine threat of the United States and Japan, and the Chinese Navy needs to continuously improve its anti-submarine warfare capabilities, and even strengthen the deployment and dispatch capabilities of naval forces.
Speaking of which, this is not the end, at this time we still need to understand: the new purpose of the 075 ship still exists! This aspect is also extremely crucial.
In fact, this new purpose is just that it can be used for over-the-horizon combat. Maybe speaking of this, it will inevitably make many netizens feel confused? What is this?
Over-the-horizon combat capability refers to the ability to conduct operations at longer distances, through a combination of advanced perception technology and long-range weapon systems.
However, the realization of this technology mainly depends on the following factors:
The first point: the advancement of perception technology. According to the available information, the Type 075 ship is equipped with a relatively advanced H/LJQ-382 three-coordinate air-to-air search radar, a dual-sided phased array medium-range and short-range fast reaction radar, as well as electronic reconnaissance and sonar perception systems.
In this way, it can obtain information about sea targets in a timely manner, including enemy ships, submarines and aircraft, etc., and the improvement of these perception systems enables ships to detect and lock on to targets at a longer distance, providing a basis for over-the-horizon operations.
H/LJQ-382 three-coordinate air-to-air search radar is an advanced shipborne air-to-air search radar system, with three-dimensional coordinate search function, which can realize all-round search and tracking of air targets, with high-precision and long-distance detection capabilities.
Double-sided phased array medium and short-range fast reaction radar, which is a radar system used to detect and track short-range targets. The phased array technology used in the process features a double-sided rotating antenna for all-round coverage and search, allowing for fast and accurate target locking. This radar system, which is usually used on ships, ground-based air defense systems, etc.
The second point: the equipping of long-range weapon systems. Type 075 ships are equipped with anti-ship missiles, anti-submarine rockets, etc., these weapon systems, with a long range, and high accuracy, can strike at targets at a long distance, through the equipment of these weapon systems, it can attack enemy targets without exposing its own position, to achieve over-the-horizon operations.
The third point: the improvement of the command and control system is also one of the key factors, which is equipped with an advanced command and control system, which can realize the integrated control and command of various weapon systems on the ship, and realize all-round and multi-dimensional combat command, which can enable the ship to deal with the complex battlefield environment more flexibly, and finally achieve the goal of over-the-horizon combat.
The unveiling of China's 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship "Anhui" marks an important step forward for the Chinese Navy in anti-submarine warfare capabilities and long-range combat capabilities.
Although the 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship "Anhui" is indeed a force to be underestimated for the mainland's military strength, it will still face many challenges and pressures.
However, in the future, the Chinese Navy will continue to devote itself to improving its military strength, and ultimately strive to safeguard the country's maritime rights and interests and realize the dream of becoming a maritime power.
