Now some fans are still holding the so-called Army of the eyes to see China 10 years ago , especially in comparison with Japan can lower yourself , in fact , China and Japan, the gap in military technology , not as people imagine that!

First, the technical aspects of aerospace

China and Japan have produced their first 3rd generation fighter aircraft. Japan is the F-2, China is the F- 10 and F- 11. Through the development , imitation , China is fully mastered the 3rd generation aircraft design and production technology. Although Japan leads the world in some technology , but Japan did not fully grasp the 3rd generation aircraft design and production technology, Japan continues to rely on any new U.S. fighters . And China in the 3rd generation fighter has graduated, along with a 4th generation fighter development capabilities. Following the adoption of specific technical analysis, look at the gap between Chinese and Japanese in the end how much.

First, aerodynamic design: China has basically solved the aerodynamic design of advanced fighters . Through a large number of type design , China has trained a group of experienced aviation engineers and designers. Lack of engineering experience in Japan , F-2 form factor designed to mimic the F-16, while a large number of design relies on the U.S. side . So now Japan does not have an independent advanced aerodynamic shape design capabilities.

Second, the structures and materials : two levels of roughly equal. Have been in the design of existing design software , in the use of computer 3-D digital design, the body has come to Japan before China . Japan's relatively advanced composite materials technology , composite materials, one of its wings the world's leading high-temperature curing technology . But this technology is not mature enough to create cracks in the wings later . Russia, China introduced the most advanced titanium processing technology, while China's composite technology is relatively mature . Therefore, China has relatively complete grasp of the advanced fighters of the materials technology.

Third, the electronic system : Japan 's leading technology in the fire control radar , the Japanese active phased array airborne radar of the world advanced level. China is still lagging behind The level of airborne radar . However, in integrated electronic systems design and integration of China has no gaps. China master the digital fax technology, and Japan has not mastered the technology.

Fourth, the power system : design and manufacture of Chinese already own the advanced turbofan engine , and the Japanese do not have the ability.

From the above analysis we can see the advantage of China 's aviation industry with a complete system, and system integration ability. The strength of Japan's basic industries , especially electronics strong industrial base makes it an advantage in avionics . However, the Japanese software design technology behind China , no independent ability to develop the aircraft . China is capable of independent or status as equal partners in the development of 4th generation fighters. The development of new-generation fighter in Japan must also rely on the United States.

In space technology , the Japanese H2 rocket than China 's Long March rockets currently in use to advanced. However, the reliability of China's rocket and space tracking and manned space than the Japanese lead. Japan has an advantage in satellite technology , this area is the Japanese electronics industry base, the other in China by the West 's technical limitations . But China's satellite application wider than the Japanese . Overall , China is Slightly ahead of Japan . After the success of a new generation of rockets in China will be fully than Japan.

Second , the Navy technology

King Kong in Japan the most advanced level and China's 170 -ship comparison. According to reliable sources , 170 ships using active phased array radar. The Diamond level is the United States to use passive phased array radar. 170 ships is the combat system , and Diamond -level combat system is the United States. Use self-guided missile technology 170 air defense missiles , and Diamond level using semi-active guidance. The Gap between the more obvious Anti-ship missile . 170 ship has reached world advanced level. Now China can be completely independent world-class manufacturing ships . Japan in the combat system and ship with the host side also need to rely on the United States. King Kong has the advantage of bomb load level is far more than 170 ships. Levels may be better than the Chinese anti-submarine warfare .

In submarines , the Chinese still need to import diesel submarine . China-made diesel engine noise than the low power . Japan's leading technology, but better than the German diesel engines used in China no technological advantage. China's leading technology in the AIP , in fuel cell technology is a world leader . The Japanese do not have the technology. China wants Japanese do everything possible to fuel cell technology . Material on the submarine has reached the international advanced level in China . Noise control in China is not lagging behind Japan. Sonar system is still some gaps. France and Russia in the Technology after the introduction , this gap has been small.

China has nuclear submarines, the development of two generations of Chinese nuclear submarine . Demanding a new generation of nuclear submarines, the Chinese navy is very satisfactory. Japan did not.

From the above analysis , China has caught up technically in the Navy and more than Japan. But the past is always lagging behind , too many outstanding loans , so the Chinese navy 's strength is still not catch up to Japan. However, the momentum of the Chinese navy is obvious to all catch up . Sino-Japanese differences in technology in the Navy is a complete and comprehensive as the military industrial system , will be free to complete the design and manufacture of military equipment . The strength of Japan's basic industries , in the engine, and some of the leading electronic technology . However, the United States must rely on some technical support in order to complete manufacturing of modern warships, naval combat to form .

Now China's military industry has provided the Chinese army with advanced weapons and equipment , so that is not lower than in Japan , the problem is PLA how to use the equipment , so as to reap the greatest combat effectiveness.

Third, the Army equipment technology

For example main battle tanks , artillery , armor technology leading . Japan does not have the technology to produce high pressure gun , only the introduction of licensed production of the German tank guns. China is fully independent with a high pressure gun technology. With the German Technical quite . States Are the highest armor in the secret . 99 tanks but the Chinese far more than Japan, 90 the protective type. Fire control techniques rather , the 2,000 meters starting shooting action on the dynamic equivalent to about 85%. Japan has the advantage of power systems. However, 2 -stroke engines used in Japan that Japan's high specific power , but off 4 -stroke engine technology . If the engine of China 's 1100 kilowatts to cross the border , then catch up with Japan in this field too .

Electronic Information warfare technology

Japan is the world electronics one of the most developed countries , has a very strong base of industrial strength. This led to Japan's military advanced electronic technology . But Japan 's advanced hardware , but software behind the software relies heavily on the United States of Japan . The level of Japan's electronics engineering in general.

Chinese electronics industrial base is obsolete , there are some military electronic components can not be produced or the quality or price is too high , affecting the development of China's military electronics , also affect the Armed Forces and satellite electronic system level. But in recent years the situation has fundamentally changed. China's electronics industry, level of processing up to 12 inches, 0.13 micron process technology .

Now being developed independently of the 90- nanometer processing technology. The development of China's IC design soon , has the most challenging in the development of processor chips. China's engineering software design under the original is not in Japan . Japan's electronic warfare information warfare technology is also largely dependent on the U.S. , LINK11 and LINK16 is the main message of the Japanese link.

It can be seen , Japan's entire military system is tied to the chariot in the United States . Leave the United States , Japan's entire military system immediately paralyzed. China is with a complete system of military industry and military technology . Overall China's military technology is not behind Japan, and more integrity. Japan 's military technology and military forces completely under the control of the United States . This is why it seems like a eunuch in Japan as one of the root causes , like the hard time that it has little to some clout !
