The giant steel cable broke and the 33-ton Russian military plane rushed out of the deck and fell into the sea.

During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were known as the two great powers in the world. In order to restrain each other, the two sides began a crazy arms expansion. This not only led to the emergence of many advanced weapons and equipment, but also greatly improved the military industry of the two countries. But in this battlefield without smoke, the Soviet Union finally fell. In contrast, the United States, which won from it, greatly increased its comprehensive strength and became the only superpower in the world.

The military strength of the United States is still very strong, especially in the development of aircraft carriers. Russia, which inherited the mantle of the Soviet Union, has not had a satisfactory life in recent years. Even if aircraft carrier accidents occur frequently, even carrier aircraft will crash one after another.

On February 3, 2065438+0616, after the Russian Navy completed its bombing mission to Syria, its only carrier-based aircraft, Admiral Kuznetsov, landed on the ship. Because the blocking cable broke, the heavy carrier-based aircraft weighing 33 tons rushed out of the deck and fell into the sea. Fortunately, the pilot successfully ejected and escaped at a critical juncture, causing no casualties.

This is not the first time such an accident has happened in the Russian navy.

On September 5, 2005, the same Su -33 carrier aircraft landed on the aircraft carrier Kuznetsov. As a result, the giant steel cable of the arresting device suddenly broke, and the carrier aircraft also fell straight into the sea. Afterwards, in order to protect the secret of the fighter plane, the Russian navy destroyed the Su -33 fighter plane that fell into 1000 meters of water with a deep-water bomb.

In these two accidents, there was a problem with the blocking cable. Coincidentally, during the transformation of the Liaoning ship at that time, China had intended to introduce the arresting cable technology to Russia, but Russia refused at that time.

In desperation, China had to take the road of independent research and development. Fortunately, the Russians didn't sell it, and China didn't buy it, otherwise we might be the ones making jokes.
