"Strike beyond visual range! Hundreds of kilometers away, the missile directly hits the target!"

"The sea-air joint integrated defense system shows its power, predicts the enemy's opportunity, and preempts strikes!"

"The gap is too big! Nearly a hundred fighters took off at the same time!"

"Under intensive saturation strikes, surface ships have become targets."

"The Aegis system shows its power, the strongest shield in the world!"

"How far are we? The answer is: 50 years!"

"Win-win cooperation is the only way out."

After the first day of the Lijian-04 joint military exercise was over, various media that had been arranged for a long time rushed to report. The news was quickly published on the Internet, and the domestic media rushed to forward it.

With the further disclosure of the details of the exercise, the public once again received a huge cognitive shock.

What is beyond visual range strike?

In 2004, not many people understood this concept at all. After reading the news reports, they realized that wars can be fought like this!

When two planes face each other, there is really no need for any chases or dog fights.

The early warning opportunity will find you hundreds of kilometers away, and then guide the AIM-120C over-the-horizon air-to-air missile to attack one hundred kilometers away.

You haven't even seen it, and you haven't been illuminated by the fire control radar, and it's locked on.

And by the time you find out, it's too late.

What is the Sea-Air Joint Integrated Defense System?

It is a complete system including shipboard air defense, anti-ship system, air early warning system, and underwater detection system. With the help of data link connection, all combat units can share information.

It is like a high wall built with information, blocking all incoming enemies hundreds of kilometers away.

As for Aegis and Phalanx?

That is something that is beyond the reach of China now.

The gap is really too big.

Just relying on our few old and backward ships, relying on our fighter jets that have just broken through and are far from forming combat effectiveness, can we really fight against them?

That is impossible

Pessimism is spreading, but it is countered by the explosive growth of confidence in several countries participating in the joint exercise.

They knew clearly that they hugged their thighs.

With this thigh, I can do many things that I didn't dare to think about before.

In a certain dormitory of the Western Polytechnic University, Li Xiang stared at the screen in front of him solemnly.

Like everyone else, he feels a heavy pressure from the information that is constantly fermenting on the Internet.

The exercise organized by the opponent was too shocking.

It can even be said that the impact of this exercise on the people is greater than that of the previous Iraq War.

——

Especially when they know that this exercise is aimed at their own country.

The comments on the Internet have gradually become uncontrollable, but I don't know how to refute or guide.

He could only watch silently, hoping that the same type of exercise that he was about to carry out would save some face.

Thinking of this, he sighed, put his hands on the keyboard and typed:

"This time the opponent's military exercise has indeed demonstrated its formidable strength, whether it is at sea or in the air, it has absolutely overwhelming power."

"However, this does not mean that we do not have any advantages. It is said that the newly born J-22 will also participate in our own exercises. I hope it will perform differently."

As soon as the comment was posted, there were already several replies below. Li wanted to read them one by one, but none of them was what he expected.

"How can it perform differently? No matter how powerful the J-22 is, it's just an ordinary fourth-generation aircraft. Even if it is replaced with the latest radar, it probably won't change anything essential."

"You have to know that they have an entire aircraft carrier fleet and a complete combat system. Do you still want to defeat their entire fleet with just one aircraft?"

"Yeah, the gap is too big. We really shouldn't be doing this drill. Isn't that just a shame?"

"It's F-18 and Aegis. What do we have? We don't even have a decent early warning aircraft."

"On the sea, the most important thing is the early warning aircraft. Without the guidance of the early warning aircraft, you can't see others, but others can see you. How can you fight this battle?"

"It's so embarrassing, I can only imagine how others will report us after this time."

"In their view, our exercise may be a fight between several fishing boats in the village."

"It's ridiculous. We still laughed at the island country Warring States as a village brawl. Now it seems that we are no different from them."

Li Xiang was very annoyed after seeing the negative comments one after another. He wished he could use his administrator privileges to block all these people immediately, but after thinking about it, what's the point?

No way, no way, facing reality is the only way out.

For a moment, he suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

As an excellent student majoring in spacecraft design, I really shouldn't be overwhelmed by such negative emotions.

Now that you know the gap, let's catch up.

Maybe this maneuver was a miscalculation, maybe we're going to lose face badly, but... we won't lose face forever.

...

On the other hand, the multinational joint military exercise has been carried out for the second day.

On this day, the training subjects became more aggressive.

Mutual landing at airports, multi-aircraft joint operations, sea landing operations, electronic countermeasure operations...

A series of dazzling operations may seem messy, but the goal is actually very clear.

This is like a real war, except that, in order to deceive people, the order of each link in the war has been completely disrupted.

In the bridge command room of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, Leon looked at the report results of the exercise subjects with satisfaction, and said to Kant beside him:

"Tomorrow, their drill will start."

"I really don't know what they think. This is a show of muscle, but what can they show?"

"Doesn't a skinny wild dog bark in front of a lion get nothing but shame?"

Hearing his words, Kant shook his head slightly.

He is not as optimistic as Leon.

Many years ago, he had dealt with these Chinese people, so he knew clearly that the actions of these people must not be judged by ordinary logic.

You never know what hole cards they hide in their hands, and you don't know what surprises they will bring to you the moment the hole cards are turned over.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and replied:

"Don't be so confident, Leon."

"You have to know that even a wild dog has its fangs. If we are not careful, we will be bitten."

"bite?"

Leon laughed.

"I can't think of any way they can hurt us. Is it really relying on the so-called J-22?"

"Stop kidding... just wait, tomorrow, when their drills start, I will give them a surprise."

"Believe me, if it goes well, this will be the greatest military joke of the 21st century..."
