In the intense race for air dominance between China and the United States, a groundbreaking virtual clash orchestrated by a daring team of Chinese researchers has provided a glimpse into the future battleground. Led by Associate Professor Chen Jun from Northwestern Polytechnical University, the team's simulation revealed a chilling capability for China to seize the initiative by detecting adversaries first, showcasing the power of cutting-edge hardware and revolutionary tactics.
The simulation portrayed a B-21-esque stealth aircraft and its drone succumbing to China's hypersonic air-to-air missiles, reaching an astonishing Mach 6. However, the narrative intensifies if the United States retaliates, leading to a protracted struggle for air dominance, described by the research team as a complex and intense maelstrom lasting an hour.
On November 10, the much-anticipated maiden flight of the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider took place. Despite its seemingly modest cruising speed below the sound barrier at 1,000 km/h, this next-gen stealth bomber is set to play a pivotal role in the US Air Force's Penetrating Counter Air (PCA) strategy, specifically designed for potential c...
