Key military sites air defence against stealth bomber bombing.

LoL, it doesn't work that, You don't lock in and kill one bomb at one time. It's more like thousands of bullets attacking that whole group of bombs.

You are shooting at a bomb not a missile. There is no fuel tank you can rupture or any other volatile. If 2000 lbs bomb's timer can withstand a shock of 20 meters penetration of steel reinforce concrete before exploding, those bullets will have a hard time exploding those bombs.

Secondly, you are assuming that the B-2 will fire all its weapons at one go.

Thirdly, a shock of a 2000 lbs bomb explosion, along with the shrapnel will destroy your CIWS even at 3,000 meters.

Exactly; that has been the manta of the US military; focus on finding and killing the platforms, so you don't have to worry about the munitions.

why not use both point defence (fallanx) and modern S.A.M. China is growing to a world superpower.It's G.D.P. is expected to surpass the U.S. G.D.P. in about 2030 (you have already surpassed Germany's,which uses both systems in air defence)

80 MK32 bombs, like I say before, Phallanx 3000+ per min, it will rip them aprt in no time.

as for cruise missile or anti-radiation missile, when it's approaching its target, the CIWS 's IR detector will spot and destroy it.

:roll: Check out how many round the Phalanx actually carries. Work out the targeting ability of the fire control system. Consider how fast you'd have ot move the damned thing to fire at all different targets.

A modern assault rifle have cyclic rate over 600 rounds per minute, doesn't mean you CAN fire 600 rounds at 20 men coming at you 20 at a time.

Opps, mistyping the zeros?

Yes, GDP is an important factor to judge your military. But u must also take into consideration of the size of the country, the sea route, the land, the airspace. Also the overall size of your army, navy and air force. As compare to Germany, China had a much bigger military thus the cost of maintaining this military is higher and thus the higher GDP spending on military wares.

Are some of the doubters here think that a stealth bomber get close enough to an Aegis defensive ship and drop a bunch of bombs and that it would kill the ship? Dub, that's so genius??

A 2000lb JDAM drop at 40,000 ft by a B-2 traveling at 600 mph has a range between 10-15 miles. 10-15 miles is not close enough for any radar detect, track, and target a B-2 at night.

I doubt that. The B-2 is designed to foil against the long frequency radars the Soviet Union uses to scan its borders. Its not designed against shorter frequency fire control radars.



"Taking the next step in stealth could be the biggest technological risk. The USA has made significant strides in stealth technology since the B-2, particularly in LO maintainability with the Lockheed F-22 and F-35, but these fighters are designed to evade higher-frequency fire control, or "shooter", radars more than lower-frequency, longer-range surveillance radars.

To penetrate and persist in the presence of integrated air defences "the next-generation bomber will have signature reduction well below the F-22 and F-35," says Muellner. He adds: "They are good at shooter frequencies, but not at low frequencies. The B-2 is good at low frequencies, but not at shooter frequencies. The next-generation bomber will be really good at all frequencies."

Is there any possible electromagnetic or laser alternative to air defence.I mean using electromagnetic waves (possibly high frequency ones)to jam the navigation and targeting systems of the platforms or ammunition.Another thing could be the laser.It is unleashed countinously and covers a great sky palne surface so it increases the possibility to damage the electronic systems of the platforms or the ammunition.(i am not an arms expert,just an observer,so don't mind for the poor technical details)
