For historical reasons, China and the United States have widened the gap.
In the military field, if you want to create something, the easiest and fastest way is to imitate it, and China was poor and white at that time, which was also helpless.
Now China's military strength has innovated itself.
But innovation is not significant.
We should increase the proportion of innovations in military weapons, and at the same time actively develop new technologies.
The military weapons that China initially copied were mainly from the Soviet Union, and the United States also had some of them.
To put it simply,
If you dig deeper, there are three blockade lines for U.S.-style weapons -- technology, military environment, and Sino-US relations.
Imitation of the old beauty will not work in China, and it will not be bought
First of all, we must understand.
Rather than rigid commands and obedience.
At the technical level, it will be difficult for China to imitate American weapons.
We take the Blackbird reconnaissance plane as an example to illustrate the advanced military technology and unique means of secrecy of the United States.
The Blackbird reconnaissance plane is a product of the United States in the last century.
The jet-black exterior looks taciturn.
Blackbird, although there is a small oil leakage problem, it does not affect the big picture.
After being refueled at high altitudes, the Blackbird can achieve a three-fold sonic flight.
Although the Blackbird retired.
But its whole life has been imitated, never surpassed.
Why can't China copy the Blackbird reconnaissance plane, because this plane contains a lot of high technology.
The exterior has a stealth coating, an almost all-titanium delta-wing fuselage, and two high-thrust turbojet engines.
The engine also has a nested shock cone inside, plus internal electronics and piping mounting.
The core technology is the most difficult and the most critical.
The advent of the Chinese C919 aircraft shows that China can make large aircraft.
But in the military field, the problem of engine renewal is difficult to break through.
We once saw R&D personnel in the Chinese media introducing domestic engines.
Some people said that China's engines will be upgraded in a few years.
Don't believe that.
Another technical issue is manufacturing capacity.
Even if the United States gave China the design drawings and detailed data of the Blackbird reconnaissance plane, China would not be able to build it.
Because China's manufacturing industry also needs to progress.
The manufacturing industry affects the performance of the product and the level of process at the time of processing.
Titanium alloy, which accounts for a large proportion of the Blackbird.
If you want to process titanium alloys, the current more mature method is to use diamond tools for cutting.
The United States has done everything to keep its military technology secret.
From the commercial scope to the military field, it is difficult for China to buy American technology with money.
Second, the relationship between China and the United States does not allow China to copy American weapons.
Even ordinary new energy vehicles can be described as a threat to the security of the United States, let alone military weapons.
What's even more disgusting is that the United States has a lot of military bases in other countries.
This environment is not good for China.
However, there are loopholes in everything, and since China can buy aircraft carriers from Ukraine, it shows that there are still certain channels to buy American-style weapons.
Relations between China and the United States are not good.
More objectively speaking, the military is very rigorous. It itself does not allow any foreign capital to enter.
Therefore, the military environment is more resistant to American-style weapons, which is also the reason why China is reluctant to do so.
At last
The U.S. military management is lax compared to China's.
This also makes a lot of people start to learn something in their leisure time.
The US military research and development is very open-minded and has a lot of motivation for innovation.
The individuality of China's social atmosphere affects the driving force of military innovation.
To put it simply, U.S. military personnel want to build something to fulfill their dreams in life.
Why are Soviet-style weapons popular in China?
The form of the USSR, which does not exist anymore.
But Russia inherited the spiritual qualities of the USSR and copied Soviet weapons, which was less difficult for China.
I still remember the allusion of Chinese military personnel measuring and drawing pictures on the train.
On a train at that time, there was an engine developed by the Soviet Union.
With the help of others,
It says copying, but in the military field, the process does not seem to be very important.
One of the reasons why Soviet-style weapons can be favored by the Chinese is that the research and development process is similar.
China's military research and development does not carry out precise calculations and simulations like Japan and Germany.
China prefers to do it directly.
Find problems directly in the physical object and then solve them.
In this way, it is possible to increase the speed of China's military development.
The disadvantage is that the development is too fast, which leads to China's military being strong and middle-class.
A typical example is that when China was conducting a missile drill, the United States turned off the GPS signal, which affected the accuracy of the missile.
The process of developing Soviet-style weapons is similar to that of China.
The simpler the thing, the more practical,
Since the development of Soviet military products suits China, then China is willing to copy Soviet-style weapons.
- Historical reasons.
- The Soviet Union helped China industrially, and many Chinese products were manufactured with the shadow of the Soviet Union.
For example, gyroscopes for airplanes and automatic transmissions for tanks.
The design and manufacturing process of these parts is very similar to that of Soviet-style weapons.
Soviet genes are left in the Chinese industrial base, and American-style weapons do not have such conditions.
Finally, the redundancy of Soviet-style weapons is better than that of the United States.
The same is true militarily.
Many military products in the United States need the help of computer software.
These software are forbidden to be owned by individuals in China, and you can only use them through intermediaries.
ANSYS products, for example, are firmly controlled by the U.S. military.
And Soviet-style weapons are simpler.
Even if the socket is different, our technicians can change it directly, and the difference in redundancy makes Soviet-style weapons more suitable for Chinese tastes.
Final words
The key to defeating American-style weapons is scientific and technological breakthroughs and innovative development.
But innovation is such a thing, and you can only innovate if you are well-informed.
Chinese military weapons are off to a good start in the cutting-edge field.
In the future, the R&D and secrecy of military equipment is a big issue, and we believe in the level of Chinese engineers and the rapid development of China's manufacturing industry.
