The U.S. Theater Network published a set of photos showing the CH-53K heavy helicopter flying with an F-35C fighter flying on it. As can be seen in a set of photos, the F-35C fighter dismantles important components such as engines, onboard equipment, and outer wings, but the total weight of these important parts can also be as high as 10 tons.
The CH-53K heavy helicopter hoisted the F-35C fighter and flew at a distance of 257 km. What's even more exaggerated is that there was also an in-flight refueling on the way. This coherent operation not only demonstrates the strong transportation capability of the US military, but also demonstrates its operational and technical strength. Regarding this matter, many military fans also said: China will take at least 10 years to catch up? What the hell is going on?
From this photo, we have to admit that it will indeed face a series of challenges to catch up with and surpass the military strength of the United States.
The first aspect. Technical challenges. The United States has always been at the forefront of the world's military science and technology, possessing many leading military technologies and equipment, such as advanced fighter jets, ships, and missile defense systems.
China needs to intensify its independent research and development and innovation, and improve its own scientific and technological level to fill the gap with the United States in military technology. This means that China must continue to invest in the military field, strengthen its scientific research capabilities, and train more military scientists and engineers to improve its technological innovation capabilities.
The second aspect. Challenges in the modernization of military infrastructure and equipment. Modern military infrastructure and advanced equipment are important guarantees for safeguarding national security.
China needs to speed up the construction of modern military infrastructure, including the construction of advanced military bases, command centers, and communication networks, so as to improve the military's rapid reaction capability and combat effectiveness. At the same time, it is also necessary to constantly update military equipment and adopt advanced weaponry and combat technology to meet the needs of modern warfare. In this regard, it is necessary to invest a lot of capital and technical support, and it is also necessary to strengthen the management and production capacity of military industrial enterprises.
Third, it is also necessary to solve the problems of personnel training and military management. This is because the overall quality and capability of the armed forces depend on the quality of qualified personnel and the level of military management, and it is necessary to strengthen the training of qualified personnel in the armed forces and train a high-quality, high-level modern army.
At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the army's organizational management and military discipline and enhance the army's combat effectiveness and fighting spirit. This requires the support and cooperation of the whole society, and at the same time, it also requires the unremitting efforts, reform, and innovation of the government and the military.
Speaking of which, there may be some netizens who don't quite understand, then, analyze the gaps in military modernization, such as: science and technology, industry and talent training:
There is still a certain gap between China and China in terms of military technology and equipment. Although China has made great strides in the past few decades and promoted the upgrading of military technology and equipment, there are still some obvious shortcomings compared to the United States.
In particular, in some key areas, such as advanced aviation technology, missile defense systems, and military communications, China still needs to further improve its research and development capabilities and technological level.
Secondly, China's R&D and production capacity in the field of military aviation is relatively lagging behind. Although China has made some progress in areas such as military aircraft and helicopters, there is still a large gap compared with the United States.
On the other hand, the United States has the world's leading aviation industry system and advanced production technology, which can quickly develop and produce various high-performance aircraft and helicopters.
In contrast, China's aviation industry developed relatively late, and its technical level and production capacity need to be further improved to be comparable to that of the United States.
In addition, there are also some problems in the research and development of military technology and the cultivation of qualified personnel. Although the Chinese government has attached great importance to the development of military science and technology, and has invested a lot of resources in personnel training and technology research and development, there are still challenges in some key areas.
For example, China still relies on imports in terms of core technologies, and its independent innovation capability is relatively weak. In addition, China's military personnel training system also needs to be further improved, and more high-quality military scientific research and technical personnel should be trained to provide stronger support for military modernization.
In fact, the gap between China and the United States in military modernization mainly stems from the lack of technological level, aviation industry capacity, and personnel training, and so on; in order to catch up with and surpass the United States, China really needs to further strengthen scientific and technological innovation, improve the level of industrial manufacturing, and increase investment in personnel training.
The behavior of the American CH-53K flying on the F-35C really demonstrates its strong military strength and technical strength.
Although China has made some progress in military modernization, it will indeed take at least 10 years to catch up with the United States. However, in this respect, the mainland should not be discouraged, and it is necessary to further intensify the research and development of military technology and the upgrading of equipment, so as to enhance its own military strength and comprehensive national strength.
