Chapter 192: Discussion on Heng20
After Eagle Country's press conference.
World news explosively began releasing a series of Eagle Country plans.
Reporters racked their brains, thinking about how the news headline could be even more explosive.
'Eagle Country's New Plan, Return to the Moon!'
'Eagle Country's New Weapon Appears Out of the Blue, Can the New b21 Continue b2's Glory?'
These are still decent.
What comes next? 'Hank and Te Mei Pu President's Unavoidable Story'
'Te Mei Pu President and Boeing's Secret Deal'
And so on and so on.
This kind of explosive news instantly ignited the whole world.
And Dongda naturally could not escape.
However, Dongda netizens' focus was not on Eagle Country's moon return.
Instead, they were keenly interested in b21.
Various videos began discussing b21's details and what impact it would have on Dongda.
On the forum, this question appeared.
(How to evaluate Eagle Country's new weapon b21.)
The question instantly became the forum's hottest topic.
Wu Hai Ai Mao Ren: "Thanks to Eagle Country's advanced technology. Thanks for b21's sudden emergence."
"Let the tense relationship between Eagle Country and Dongda calm down, long live world peace!"
Xing Nan: "b21's sudden emergence painfully pricks the rabbit's fragile little nerves!"
Ai Chi Xiang Jiao Gui Gong Gong: "Must say, fortunate that technology is in the hands of civilization."
"If Dongda produced such a weapon, I can't imagine how the little pinks would get excited. How arrogant they'd become?"
"Eagle Country is still Eagle Country."
"Developed nations are certainly not only about economic strength."
"Spiritual development is absolutely paramount."
"Dongda people, you should reflect properly."
Nuclear-powered aircraft carrier: "Let me say something useful."
"b21's biggest and most important advancement."
"Not the AI and artificial intelligence hype that Eagle Country talks about."
"But the real key is cost."
"Only cost is everything."
"Boeing reduced b21's production cost through myriad technologies. It's simply phenomenal."
"Moreover, as everyone knows, b2 has an extremely serious flaw. It's also fatal."
"b2 can only be deployed on Eagle Country's own soil."
"Why? Because it requires temperature‑ and humidity‑controlled hangars and extremely specialized maintenance; such facilities and highly skilled workers exist only in Eagle Country."
"No other country has them, which is why b2 can only be deployed in Eagle Country."
"What about b21?"
"It can be placed in ordinary hangars, with standard maintenance."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that wherever there is an Eagle Country Military Base, b21 can be deployed there!"
"Near Dongda, near Dai Ying, near the Brown Bear, near the Middle East."
"Even on Eagle Country's aircraft carriers."
"All of these can host deployments."
"Global deployment, global strike—that's b21."
And on the forum's heat ranking list.
Ranked first is (How to evaluate Eagle Country's new weapon b21.)
Ranked second is.
It is (When will Dongda be able to acquire Heng20.)
Because Zhang Wen's heavy transport aircraft Yun20 and fifth‑generation fighter j20 exist, many netizens speculate that if a bomber appears, it would also be called Heng20.
Feng Zhiwu: "It's difficult."
"Posing the question is easy, but what is the real role of Heng20?"
"In Dongda's view, Heng6k can already accomplish all missions."
"You should know how many iterations Heng6 went through, from the original Heng6 to the current Heng6k, through Heng6a, Heng6b, and then Heng6k."
"The entire alphabet has almost been used up."
"Whether mounting missiles or carpet bombing."
"Heng6k can handle it perfectly."
"Now, the mission left for Heng20, the only mission, is to ensure an integrated land‑air‑sea nuclear bomb threat."
"The land part needs no further explanation: missile silos buried in mountains of a hundred thousand, the power of the Dongfeng series needs no elaboration."
"The sea part is even less to discuss; submarine information is always top secret."
"Ordinary people would never know."
However, based on the leaked scattered news, Dongda's submarines are still world-leading.
Now, the only thing Dongda lacks.
That is the ability to launch nuclear missiles from an airborne platform.
Although the Bomber 6K is strong, it can barely launch nuclear missiles.
But that is only barely.
So, obtaining this information is difficult.
Xingyu: "Bomber 20? I personally think we should just copy Maoxiong Guo's Tu-160. White Swan!"
It's truly a pity; if not for Maoxiong Guo's interception that year, we could have gotten the White Swan.
That is one of the last legacies of the Great Alliance.
It's truly regrettable.
With afterburner engaged and the swept wings retracted, speed directly surges past that of the missiles launched by an F-35.
Low-altitude penetration is the only truth.
My Nine Major Star Systems: "Despise that one above."
What era is it now?
You're still thinking about the White Swan?
It's already the 20th century now!
How many years have stealth technology and anti-stealth technology evolved?
Low-altitude penetration? You dare say that term?
Can't the Bomber 6K accomplish this task?
Do we really have to send a Bomber 20?
In my opinion.
The Bomber 20 is definitely a stealth design, a tailless design.
It's pretty much the same as Eagle Country's B-2.
Using stealth capability, enter high altitude stealthily, launch missiles or drop bombs.
This is the proper way.
Eagle Country has already shown the correct path.
Why are you still taking the wrong path?
Rongcheng Jinlong: "I feel you all guessed wrong."
Now, who is Dongda's only threat?
That's right, Eagle Country, and there is only one Eagle Country.
I guess the Bomber 20 has already been shelved.
After all, do you want to bomb Eagle Country's homeland with a few stealth bombers, or bomb Eagle Country's military bases in the Pacific with a few stealth bombers?
Are you sure you're not joking with me?
Can it work?
Are their radars vegetarian?
Are their missiles vegetarian?
This idea is also too unreliable!
Might as well just throw missiles!
It's clearly just a matter of a few missiles, yet you insist on risking the lives of several pilots.
You're basically a bunch of pigs.
If he opens the comments.
He will find that his comment section is now full of arguments.
But.
What these people don't know is.
What this person said is actually correct.
At the national level.
The Bomber 20 project, after comprehensive consideration,
has indeed been officially shelved.
After all, the idea of a stealth bomber has been rejected.
Because the opponent is Eagle Country.
There will be no room for a stealth bomber to be effective.
But.
That is also only at the national level.
Within the aviation base.
Zhang Wenzheng looked at the aircraft before him.
He nodded in satisfaction.
