The Dongfeng-27, with a range of 5000 kilometers, can it strike an aircraft carrier? It can strike at will. With the "9·3" military parade approaching, many new types of equipment have been widely displayed online. Many people hope that various weapons and equipment will occupy a particularly central position during the parade, reflecting the Chinese innovation and development in a vivid manner.
Foreign media have shown extraordinary interest in China's ballistic missiles, especially those that pose a significant threat to aircraft carriers. For example, we have publicly displayed the Dongfeng-17, Dongfeng-21, and Dongfeng-26 missiles during previous National Day parades and victory day parades. Currently, the Dongfeng-27 missile is a key focus for the United States. This means that the missile has a range of 5000 kilometers and can strike large slow-moving targets at sea by changing its trajectory at a distance of 2500 kilometers. In other words, the Dongfeng-27 is good at striking aircraft carriers.
Through the description of the Dongfeng-27 missile, it also shows the fear of the U.S. toward large aircraft carrier groups. The development of various new weapons and equipment by the Chinese Rocket Force is showing a surge. Especially with the approaching of the military parade, various guesses and expectations are high-level, which also indicates that the next step, our country's ability to restrict large maritime targets with new equipment, is a focus of attention.
In recent years, aircraft carriers have become the core of the development of major powers. Russia's "Kuznetsov" has been put into storage, and it has now completed the end of the era of aircraft carriers. There are very few large aircraft carriers in other countries, so the U.S. aircraft carriers and China's aircraft carriers are the global highlights. While developing aircraft carriers, anti-aircraft carrier weapons naturally become a focus of attention.
If according to many netizens' kind speculations online, if the Dongfeng-27 missile is equipped with a maneuverable re-entry vehicle or a gliding warhead, its ability to strike aircraft carriers would be significantly improved. Some even say, if the body of the missile is made smaller and slimmer, could it be installed on the 055, or on a large aircraft carrier, forming a super anti-aircraft carrier capability? If currently, large aircraft carriers mainly rely on carrier-based aircraft, and are supplemented by various long-range anti-ship missiles, they can also play an important role. Of course, this was a deployment method called "arsenal ship" during the development of the Soviet Navy.
The times are changing. The function of aircraft carriers at sea is facing instability and动摇 (shakiness) as the rapid development of anti-aircraft carrier weapons. Therefore, through the increasing land-based attack capabilities against aircraft carriers and the continuous enhancement of sea-based strike capabilities against aircraft carriers, where the aircraft carrier goes is a big issue. Therefore, globally, "lightning" aircraft carriers, small aircraft carriers, and medium aircraft carriers have become hot topics, indicating that there will be significant changes in our country's anti-aircraft carrier operations in the future.
Therefore, the changes in China's anti-aircraft carrier weapons and equipment have forced the global aircraft carriers to take a new path. If before, large, heavy aircraft carriers had many people and high costs, they might become targets at sea. So, if our country can efficiently strike within a range of 5000 kilometers in terms of aircraft carriers and other strike weapons, the development of aircraft carriers may face a major turning point.
Therefore, the attention paid by everyone to the impact of the Dongfeng series on aircraft carriers before the "9·3" military parade is natural. I think the answer will soon be revealed. The spokesperson of the "9·3" military parade command stated clearly that current weapons and advanced weapons are the core and focus. So around these concepts, many discussions have taken place online. I estimate that the most headache for the parade command right now is how to select the weapons that people like best and appropriately combine them with Chinese innovation and development.
