On April 23, the day of the Navy Day, China released a propaganda video about the nuclear submarine force, which has shown the Julang 2 submarine-launched ballistic missile, which is a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile carried by a strategic nuclear submarine, with a range of more than 7,000 kilometers Julang 2 can pose a direct threat to targets in the United States. After the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has repeatedly demonstrated its nuclear stick, including the Minuteman-3 intercontinental ballistic missile, The continuous test launch of the Trident IID5 submarine-launched ballistic missile, and there are two nuclear warfare command aircraft in the combat sequence of the US military, namely the E-4B nuclear warfare command aircraft of the US Air Force and the E-6B nuclear warfare communication aircraft of the US Navy.
The two doomsday aircraft owned by the United States are also products of the Cold War, that is, they are based on the Boeing 747 platform and the Boeing 707 platform respectively, and the United States Air Force has announced that it will spend $13 billion to build a new Doomsday fighter to replace the existing E-4B nuclear warfare command aircraft, because the Boeing 747 platform has long been discontinued, so in the process of building a new nuclear warfare command aircraft in the United States, it is necessary to purchase 8~10 Boeing 747s, as this is one of the few four-engine aircraft platforms available in the United States. The reason why the four-engine aircraft is generally eliminated is that the high fuel consumption caused by the four aero engines is no longer suitable for civil aviation and the use of a large number of military aircraft, but as a multiple nuclear warfare center platform in the air, this kind of aircraft needs to have enough aero engines to ensure reliability, and the Boeing 747 aircraft is the best choice for the United States.
According to the U.S. side, this doomsday aircraft will integrate military systems such as in-flight refueling and secure communications, and strengthen the resistance of commercial aircraft to electronic warfare and nuclear attacks. The War Research Institute believes that judging from the current progress of the replacement of the No. 1 aircraft of the US Air Force, the continuous delay of the United States in the Air Force No. 1 plan also means that the United States may be in trouble in the process of updating the Doomsday fighter.
The United States has spent $13 billion to replace the existing Doomsday plane, and of course, it will also replace the special plane that US Secretary of Defense Austin is riding. The number one task of the United States is actually to find an advantage in front of China and Russia in a nuclear war that may break out in the future, especially after China has just unveiled the Julang 2 submarine-launched ballistic missile, the United States has made public its update of the doomsday fighter, but the war research institute believes that there are killer weapons in the hands of the PLA, although this kind of nuclear warfare command aircraft can cope with some nuclear radiation, and at the same time can survive in a harsh environment, but this kind of large aircraft does not have any ability to stay in the air and fight. At present, the People's Liberation Army's J-16 heavy fighter has this new large air-to-air missile, and foreign media pointed out that this air-to-air missile can kill targets at a distance of about 400 kilometers.
The J-16 heavy fighter with air refueling capability also has a longer range, and in the future, after the outbreak of actual combat, the J-16 heavy fighter can also be equipped with large air-to-air missiles to counter the doomsday fighters from the United States with the cooperation of the tank-20 air tanker, so as to weaken the United States' nuclear counterattack capability.
