The platform of more than 80,000 tons is the world's first super aviation ship that can truly compete with it on an equal footing in an all-round way outside the superpowers, and it is also the largest tonnage armed ship ever built and equipped in the history of Eurasia. Hence the apparent composure and indifference of the superpower itself and its allies is either sheer ignorance or a deliberate attempt to pretend to be. The full impact of this incident has just begun. Because the formal technical clearance and final delivery of the more than 80,000-ton platform means that there are more and more advanced new individuals in the future. Then the comparison of the Ford-class in the hands of the superpower navy will show the reality of the project's procrastination and gradual decay. As for the 10 Nimitz-class, although they are still struggling to support the situation, they have reached the point where they dare not retire when they die of old age. This kind of situation where the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves are finally photographed on the beach, the further back you go, the more you can see it. Especially in another 10 years, it will be unsustainable to hide it no longer.
If it is said that in the past five years, after the official delivery of the more than 80,000-ton platform, the most direct impact is the large-scale deployment of a new generation of stealth fighters. Even the deployment of just two or three flying groups, or 16 to 24 aircraft, would have an unprecedented impact on the superpower navy. Because in the past ten years, although the F35C has become the world's first 5th generation stealth carrier-based aircraft officially on the ship. However, the carrier strike group of the superpower navy is not enthusiastic about the launch of the F35C, and even secretly strongly opposes it. As a result, although the number of F35Cs has reached more than 60, and none of them are exported, all of them are kept in various naval land airfields on the superpower's homeland. But the F35C and its pilots who really have experience in flight tests on ships have never exceeded 30! In other words, at least half of the actual aircraft and pilots of the F35C have not been deployed on the ship for even 1 second, which is undoubtedly a huge waste of strength. After all
Even the marines of the superpowers already have more than 50 F35Bs, plus supporting pilots, who have actual take-off and landing experience on ships; Most of them have even been deployed around the globe at one time. On the contrary, at least half of the most formal stealth carrier-based aircraft such as the F35C are still pure landlubbers. And what is it that is not a large-scale waste of combat effectiveness? So why is the regular carrier-based aircraft wing of the superpower navy generally so unwelcome to the F35C? In large part, the quality of the F35 series itself has been questionable, with various minor glitches that have led to a high failure rate during offshore deployments. What's more, some carrier-based aircraft pilots of the superpowers have always wanted to fly the stealth successor version of the F14, a twin-engine high-thrust carrier-based aircraft, and have a natural aversion to the single-engine and non-supersonic F35C! The biggest contradiction lies in the short and thick body of the F35C, almost every 5 times the ship is blocked, at least 1 time it will not be able to hook the blocking cable and must immediately return to flight. This is not only for the pilot or,
Deck operators are nightmares. Therefore, for a long time, it was better to continue to operate the F18EF Super Hornet, which is easier to block success, than to toss the "dangerous" F35C. However, once the new electromagnetic catapult platform on the opposite side is equipped with a large number of twin-engine stealth carrier-based aircraft, then all the existing F18EFs of the superpower must stand aside, and they can only bite the bullet and let the short-legged F35Cs come on board in large numbers to deal with it. And the so-called 6th generation carrier-based aircraft is far away. For the superpower navy, this is simply more uncomfortable than eating a big bowl of flies!
