Why did China make great efforts to import bison boats, which are known as the sharp weapon to seize the island, only build two and stop production?

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the wealth of the whole country was plundered by the west and oligarchs, and weapons of high value in the past, such as bison boats and aircraft carriers, suddenly became worthless. Therefore, it is true that China imported a lot of technology from Russian and Ukrainian countries. But the question is whether this technology is suitable for China and whether all kinds of weapons and equipment produced by these technologies are suitable for China's army.

The Varyag's own combat effectiveness is superior.

Among them, the typical example is Liaoning. The predecessor of Liaoning, Varyag, was an aircraft carrier with a completion rate of 70%. The overall design has been finalized, and one of the most obvious differences between the Liaoning and the American aircraft carrier is the 254 missile. There used to be a joke describing the difference between American and Soviet aircraft carriers: American aircraft carriers with carrier-based aircraft can fight two Soviet aircraft carriers, while Soviet aircraft carriers without carrier-based aircraft can fight ten American aircraft carriers. Although this joke is a bit exaggerated, it can also show that the Varyag itself is powerful enough to be called a missile cruiser rather than an aircraft carrier.

Different national conditions have different weapons and equipment.

This is undoubtedly very inconsistent with China's national conditions. Carrier-based aircraft is the development direction of future aircraft carriers, and equipping aircraft carriers with a large number of missiles is a decision made by the Soviets against the Cold War and taking the United States as their imaginary enemy. Buffalo hovercraft is similar to Varyag. It is a fast landing craft designed by the Soviet Union for the European environment, with a tonnage of 550 tons. The imaginary enemy is a country in Central and Western Europe. The maritime threats faced by China mainly focus on the island competition, and the buffalo hovercraft is not completely suitable for China's national conditions.

Hovercraft is the most suitable equipment for rapid maneuvering at sea.

In addition, China only bought four hovercraft from Ukraine, two of which were built in China, which is why China only built two. This is different from building weapons at will after introducing foreign technology. Generally, the imported technology was needed in China at that time, and it paid a very high price when it was introduced. However, weapons and equipment are not. Complete weapons and equipment can be improved according to the needs of China, but it can't be perfect to China's complete satisfaction, and there will be an upper limit on the number of buildings.

The flanker series has been carried forward in China.

Buffalo hovercraft is actually more similar to Su -27 fighter, and it is a weapon and equipment imported from China's military industry with an open mind and advanced technology. After Su -27 was introduced into China, it was made in China, and three fighters, J-1 1, J-15 and J-16, were derived. After the Buffalo hovercraft was introduced to China, the military system also absorbed and digested its technology and built the 726 hovercraft. This kind of equipment is slightly smaller than Mustang, but it is more suitable for China's national conditions and has greater advantages than Mustang in the battle for islands.

Military equipment is not independent, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

It can be seen that China, unlike Egypt or Argentina, basically relies entirely on foreign countries for its main weapons and equipment. Instead, it will continue to learn and make progress on the basis of advanced foreign weapons, and then make appropriate improvements according to China's own national conditions. Although only two wild horses were built, the Chinese people got not only four wild horses from Ukraine, but a set of technicians who participated in the construction of the wild horse hovercraft, which was an upgrade and progress of China's own hovercraft research and development system. Seeing this is the most important thing.
