Featuring a few more inventions...
Táifēng-class aircraft carrier:
The Táifēng-class was designed in anticipation of the Sino-American War as an answer to the American Nimitz-class carriers that had long held superiority over the seas. These carriers are practically small islands, outweighing the Nimitz-class by at least 50,000 tons. Their air wing is also far larger, consisting of over 120 aircraft at one time. The Táifēngs are nuclear-powered, and carry a variety of missiles including Pīlì ship-to-ship missiles as well as several kinds of anti-aircraft missiles. What appear to be large windows on all sides of the bridge are actually several separate windows, all next to each other. They're at least a foot thick at their narrowest point, allowing the bridge crew to observe the skies and seas in all directions while still offering ample protection from enemy gunfire. They continue to be employed by Nationalist China at the time of writing.
B8-19 Firebrand:
The Firebrand was a Swedish model, which performed successfully in the Dragon War against Chinese fighters. Capable of near-hypersonic speed using ramjet technology previously found only on the SR-71 Blackbird, the Firebrand used rockets to get in the air and then the ramjets took over. The gs created by executing maneuvers at this speed were negated using a revolutionary mass driver device created by Swedish scientists. No Chinese aircraft could stand against it, meaning that the Three Powers achieved air supremacy shortly after its introduction. Firebrands continue to be deployed today by the Swedish Air Force, as well as the newly reconstructed US Air Force and the British and Indian ones as well.
