How to understand the role of aircraft carriers and advanced fighter jets in safeguarding China s ma

China's national maritime rights and interests, especially the great threat to the far sea and ocean-going rights and interests, urgently need the Chinese Navy to have the ability to fight in the far sea and in the ocean as soon as possible, and the most crucial thing in its combat capability is undoubtedly the mastery of air supremacy, and from the strategic perspective of sea power, aircraft carriers are the most effective means in mastering sea supremacy, which tells us that we must have aircraft carriers. Not long ago, Colonel Dai Xu, a military theory researcher of a certain air force unit, published an article saying that whether or not to have a self-made aircraft carrier is a fundamental sign that distinguishes the traditional navy from the modern navy.

An aircraft carrier is a large surface combat ship with carrier-based aircraft as the main ** and serves as a base for its maritime activities. The emergence of aircraft carriers has made traditional naval warfare move from flat to three-dimensional, thus giving birth to modern naval warfare in the true sense. Relying on aircraft carriers, a country can exert military pressure and conduct combat operations far from its homeland and without relying on local airfields.

Aircraft carriers generally do not act alone, they are always accompanied by other ships, collectively known as aircraft carrier formations, also known as aircraft carrier battle groups. The entire aircraft carrier formation integrates the combat capabilities of air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine and shore attack, and can search, track, lock, and attack hostile targets within a range of several hundred kilometers under the overall control of aircraft carriers.

An aircraft carrier is all about keeping long-range hostile countries within the range of an effective strike.

Aircraft carriers are mainly used as a deterrent strategy**, as well as a country's technology; Military; A demonstration of economic strength! The second is the aggressive one.

The appearance of aircraft carriers can be called a wonder in the history of human warfare, which has made traditional naval warfare move from flat to three-dimensional, thus giving birth to modern naval warfare in the true sense. Aircraft carriers are strategic and can make special contributions to national interests as "sea overlords". In the opinion of most people, the creation of aircraft carriers should be the preserve of "members of the club of great powers".

The importance of aircraft carriers to a country is self-evident, in fact, many countries are sparing no expense and perseverance to chase their "aircraft carrier dream".

Aircraft carriers can carry out force projection, shore attacks, and some other tasks, and aircraft carriers have a great advantage in far-sea combat capability and sea air supremacy, and when carrying out force projection in joint operations or in the event of a maritime conflict, having an aircraft carrier can greatly enhance the combat capability of the navy.

Aircraft carriers have improved air supremacy, because aircraft carriers usually have fixed-wing aircraft, that is, fighter aircraft, which can perform land attack and sea attack missions. Therefore, when two formations clash at sea, the side with the aircraft carrier can gain partial air supremacy and can use carrier-based aircraft to attack the other side. Therefore, both early warning and attack capabilities are much better than those of the side without aircraft carriers.

Its combat platform is mainly an aircraft, mainly used to seize air supremacy and sea supremacy at sea, and it plays a role as the core of the aircraft carrier formation, so it is mainly an offensive **.

Note: The aircraft carrier itself is mainly used as an active flight deck platform for attack; The defense capability is low, relying on carrier-based aircraft and other cooperative ships of the aircraft carrier formation! If a single aircraft carrier sets sail, it is no exaggeration to say that its survivability is not as good as that of a conventional submarine or missile frigate; torpedo destroyer)

The aircraft carrier is a deterrent, has an anti-submarine system, a missile interception system, an aviation attack system.

Being able to build and maintain, especially large modern aircraft carriers, is itself a symbol of national strength and has a strong deterrent effect.

The aircraft carrier integrates the functions of fleet combat, land support, transportation and escort, material transfer, and early warning, and is a purely maritime mobile military base.

The special capabilities of aircraft carriers, many people do not know, increase knowledge.

Aircraft carriers are regarded as the embodiment of a country's comprehensive strength, and they are also regarded as the most complex equipment.

China has a long coastline, vast maritime territory, and maritime transportation lines, and aircraft carriers are a defender of China's maritime interests.

In training and operations, aircraft carriers are usually used as the core, and a maritime formation composed of destroyers, frigates, missile submarines, supply ships, and other ships is usually used to divide labor and act in coordination to learn from each other's strong points and complement each other's weaknesses to form a ship formation with the most powerful maritime assault power, so as to better safeguard the motherland's maritime interests and maritime territory.
