Recently, the Chinese Navy has generously demonstrated its submarine power, from strategic nuclear submarines to conventionally powered submarines, these rare "underwater ghosts" have appeared, making the outside world curious about the underwater strength of the Chinese Navy.
Speaking of domestic nuclear submarines, the speed of development is like moving forward at a "turtle speed" on the bottom of the sea.
Look at our "Long March 18", the remarkable "turtle back" shape seems to tell the bitter history of domestic nuclear submarine technology.
The last time the rest of the world saw such a "turtle-backed" nuclear submarine was the Soviet Union's "Delta IV" in 1990.
Nowadays, the only countries with this "retro" look are China and Russia.
The slowness of nuclear submarines is not only the slowness of technological accumulation, but also the embodiment of the domestic limited nuclear strategy.
And this shortcoming has also affected our conventional submarines. Don't look at the number of conventional submarines, but there are really a lot of problems.
These "underwater ninjas" lurk underwater all year round, and their training and technological progress are a mystery to the outside world.
If you want to talk about understanding, you can only guess the strength from their "import and export".
Back then, we introduced 12 "Kilo" submarines, and these "undersea killers" were the right-hand men of our navy.
But then you want to buy a more advanced "Lada"-class submarine? Forget it, the technology on the Russian side has not been completed, and we can only sigh with joy.
Speaking of exports, the export process of our submarines is also a bitter tear.
In the 80s, we sold a batch of submarines to Egypt, although the performance was average, but the price was cheap, which was very suitable for Egypt at that time.
It's a pity that Egypt later turned around and bought the German 209 submarine, which can be regarded as "pouring cold water" on our domestic submarines.
But since 2010, domestic military equipment has begun to break out in full force, and submarines are no exception.
We have gradually found our own development path and no longer rely on imported technology.
After winning large orders from Thailand and Pakistan, domestic submarines finally began to "raise their eyebrows".
However, although our submarine technology continues to improve, it is still a bit of a gap compared with the world's top submarines.
Especially in the export market, compared with those "big-name" submarines that sell well all over the world, our submarines still have to work hard.
The Japan Naval Self-Defense Force to the east is not covered by its anti-submarine strength.
Their conventional submarine technology is also top-notch, and the speed and performance of their construction are admirable.
If you look at the U.S. Navy and the all-nuclear submarine fleet, the deterrent power is not ordinary.
Therefore, our navy must quickly solve the shortcomings of underwater combat power.
This is of vital significance to the construction of our country's national defense strength and the future sailing of the Fujian ship to the open sea.
I hope that in the future, our submarines will be able to "swim" farther and more stable in the underwater world!
