E-3 insufficient for timely detection of J-20: Pacific Air Forces chief

[ZeEa5KPul]

The Columbia class SSBN are already under construction; an order of magnitude more quiet then the Ohios. Where do the Type 096 stand and how to they compare to the Ohios or the Best Russian SSBN? Do they use a pump jet and all electric propulsion? China might have advanced but so has the US. Best to stay humble, this US-China Cold War is going to be a long one. Economics not military might will determine the outcome of this conflict. Wasting too many resources on weapons is part of what dragged the Soviet economy down.

SSNs, not SSBNs. SSBNs are irrelevant to a conventional conflict. I love that the US is wasting a ton of money on SSBNs when its nuclear deterrent is already pretty much impossible to threaten - that's just money cannibalized from other more useful systems. That's what I want the US building: Columbias and Zumwalts.

If economics is what will decide this war, then the US is even more hopelessly crushed. The Chinese economy is already larger and will grow much faster until it's multiple times the size of America's. If there's a Soviet Union in this analogy, it isn't China.

The US just got most of its allies to increase defense spending (and buy a lot of US equipment) and to buy energy from the US. If any region is going into decline its Europe. The US is demographically, economically, technologically, and militarily robust to endure for the foreseeable future.

Technology developed in the nuclear submarine programs will be sold to countries like Australia. The US will see ROI for what it’s spending.

Sure. Arsetraya's couple of nuclear submarines in 2050 is what's going to stop China. The only war America is winning is the war.

When did you ever display any smartness over me?

Every time I feel like it.

I think you all forget one point, That is the treatment of coating and reduction of radio radiation. You all can model a J-20 and try find out it's RCS in a simulation but you all wouldn't know what kind of coating J-20 used and how much percentage of reduction in help in RCS.

Here is another instance of when I displayed smartness over you.

I do not need to know the degree of absorber on the J-20 to at least believe that the J-20 does have absorbers and that would affect Rule Three: Control of MODES of radiation. So I 'forget' nothing.

But under current technology, absorbers have limited freq range due to thickness, namely, the greater the freq range the heavier the absorber. So to make the jet flyable, you must design the absorber to be in a narrower freq range and that would be the typical X band which is the combat targeting and lock band. So assume that we modeled the physical attributes of the J-20 and made a speculative RCS value, we can also make a reasonably educated guesstimate on the jet's RCS to include absorber.

Here is one example of a narrow band absorber...

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14658011.2020.1836882?journalCode=yprc20

Herein, E-glass/epoxy composites were prepared by blending multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 (NZF) nanopowder to enhance the composites’ microwave absorption.​

We can experiment with different materials to see how each combination affect how much of any operating freq, create a math model for that combination, and factored that into a filter discrimination algorithm.

But of course, if YOU operate under 'Chinese physics', then everything above is pointless.

When did I insult him? Only I see u insult people. You are good at slandering others and distort facts. Your usual trick.

What I slandered you??, I am always talking fact and you're living in your fantasy world, when I insulting other people and when I distorting facts???, you continuously abusing/insulting @gambit with your nonsense, look your NEGATIVE RATINGS you have no ability to talk with logic and commonsense, you're here to only abuse people especially Americans

The gap is only going to widen further. J-20s and Type 055s are going to be cranked out like sausages, and they'll be soon joined by H-20 stealth bombers and Type 09-V SSNs. In a couple of decades China is going to pick up America's entire Pacific presence and dump it in California like a sack of potatoes.

Very doubtful once the the Wedgetails come online. They already built them for South Korea, Turkey, Australia, and now for UK and they have been upgrading them. And I haven't even mentioned the E2D Hawkeye which new radar. You have the upgraded Virginia class submarines and B-21s along with Flight 3 destroyers. So you are not going to do what you say.
