Is the role of bombers getting smaller and smaller in the war now? Will it retire from the battlefie

No, because it is necessary to exist. The cost-effectiveness ratio of fighter-bombers and pure bombers is not the same. One bomber can carry the ammunition of several fighter-bombers.

In addition, the range is not comparable, strategic bombers can fly across continents with only a few refueling, and it is very troublesome for small planes to fly so far.

Of course, with the development of precision guidance technology and the application of dexterous ammunition, many of the tasks of the bomber can be carried out by fighter-bombers, but if a world-class war really breaks out, the bomber will definitely be rejuvenated, of course, maybe there will be no one at that time...

The bomber is still a very important one of the conventional **, and it is impossible to eliminate it.

But now fighter-bombers, that is, multi-role bombers, are being developed, and not just a single bomber in the past. In addition, missiles will also be installed on bombers, which will be very useful.

Who said that the role is small? Bombers have appeared in every military conflict in the United States. Missiles have never been able to replace bombers, and since the plane-bomb controversy in the 60s, no one has failed to attach importance to bombers, only those who have not been able to develop high-performance strategic bombers.

The premise is that if you have enough resources and production capacity to maximize the number of missiles. But none of the world's leading powers intend to achieve this great goal.

At the very least, bombers can carry nuclear bombs, which is an important role in the triad of nuclear deterrence, and no one dares to give up easily.

Fear of missile attack. Bombers are also attacked by surface-to-air missiles, which can be destroyed and killed if hit.

Bombers are afraid of missile attacks, but modern bombing has a certain anti-missile function, and at the same time, in a war, the bomber will have fighters to escort it, and modern fighters have good penetration capabilities.

In Hollywood war blockbusters, we often see fighter jets flying freely and flexibly in the air, and even easily escape in the face of enemy missiles. So to fade away the dramatic effect in the blockbuster, once the aircraft in actual combat is locked by the missile, can the fighter be able to dodge the missile attack?

Fighter = fighter (Chinese name), used to destroy enemy aircraft. Modern is basically divided into air superiority Su-27 and volley MiG-25, air superiority has good aerodynamics and high maneuverability, which is used in combat. Volleys are used at high altitudes and high speeds to intercept opposing bombers (especially nuclear-armed strategic bombers).

Bomber: Used for bombing (with a large bomb load). Generally divided into tactical JU-88 and strategic B-52, tactics are usually used to attack the front line and sub-front line against the opponent's front-line military objectives, and the strategy is used to destroy military and civilian targets in depth and destroy nuclear strikes.

Strategy requires a certain ability to penetrate defenses and a certain survival rate under enemy anti-aircraft fire.

Attack aircraft (attack aircraft) JU-87, A-10, Su-25: front-line bombing, for the ground fire points or some important facilities that are difficult to solve by the ground forces on the front line, generally carrying bombs is usually not as good as bombers, but it can carry out some dive and other actions, equipped with armor to deal with anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft fire.

There are also modern universal fighters F A-18, F-16C D, which can perform the tasks of fighter + attack aircraft. There are also fighter-bombers F-111, Flying Leopards, which are some aircraft designed with increased ammunition based on fighter jets, mainly used for bombing, but have certain air combat capabilities. A type of tactical bomber.

Difference Between Fighter and Bomber:

1. The appearance size is different

Outwardly, the fighter is much smaller than the strategic bomber. Compare the world's first fighter plane with the world's first strategic bomber, and you can intuitively feel the difference in size between the two. At present, the fighter we are talking about refers specifically to a multi-role fighter, that is, a fighter plane that is capable of seizing air supremacy with one aircraft and destroying enemy bombers and reconnaissance planes in multiple combat missions.

2. The performance characteristics are different

Since fighter jets and strategic bombers are one large and one small, it is determined that the bomb load of the two is different from each other, and their performance characteristics are very different. The biggest feature of a multi-role fighter is the pursuit of speed and maneuverability. The strategic bomber, on the other hand, pursues a constant flight altitude and flight speed, and is born to ensure that the bombardier can aim at the target.

Because flight speed and altitude must be taken into account on the premise of ensuring that the task of accurately throwing a large number of ammunition can be successfully completed, the flight speed of strategic bombers is much faster than that of fighter aircraft.

3. The combat objectives are different

The common combat goal of strategic bombers and fighters is to seize air supremacy quickly and efficiently, but each has its own emphasis. Fighter jets focus on attacking enemy fighters and ground targets, and inevitably have to engage the enemy head-on. The goal of a strategic bomber is to bomb its key targets in a place where the enemy cannot see them, that is, to use a large number of high-precision ammunition to attack the enemy's key command and control nodes, severely damage the enemy's airfields, and weaken the enemy's air defense network, so as to shorten the time required for the air force fighters to seize air superiority.

Features of the fighter:

Fighter refers to a military aircraft mainly used to protect our use of air supremacy and to destroy the enemy's ability to use air supremacy. The characteristics of the fighter are excellent flight performance, flexible maneuverability, and powerful firepower; Modern advanced fighters are mostly equipped with various search and aiming fire control equipment, and can attack all air targets around the clock. Since the interceptor is aimed at a group of bombers at high flight altitudes, the design emphasizes the need for speed and climb rate, and the sportiness is placed in a secondary position.
