How many of the 25 “secret weapons” in the U.S. plan will eventually land? can it really scare China?
USA Plan Spend US $10.8 billion to develop 25 secret weapons at the same time, all of which are said to be aimed at ChinaThis is really shocking at first, but think carefully to understand that the tens of billions of dollars are distributed to 25 projects, and each project is more than 400 million, this little money is destined. The development of any weapons is difficult to elaborate.
The reason why the United States has made such a big gimmick is, For two main purposes: first.China's 93 military parade stimulated them, and the US military was eager to get something new to maintain its advantage. But this eager for quick success and instant benefit is reminiscent of the zumwalt destroyer known as the "science fiction warship" a few years ago-the US military spent a lot of money to build three ships and then ended up hastily. The main gun was dismantled and changed into a missile, and now it has simply become an "embarrassing exhibit" of the navy; Secondly,The reason the U.S. military hides these weapons, without specific explanations, may not have a clear direction at all, only to borrow this from the head to Congress to discuss the budget.
From a historical point of view, the U.S. method of spreading money and spreading networks has often failed.Whether it is an F-35 fighter aircraft or an offshore fighter ship, which is not at first blown up, and finally is not the cost explosion is the performance shrinking?
While the U.S. plans for China were still in the PPT phase, China's Red Flag-22 air defense missile export model FK-3 has officially landed in Europe.In January this year, the Serbian Ministry of Defence announced that the system was fully deployed.At the September parade in Serbia, a fleet of FK-3 missiles flew through the streets of the capital Belgrade, where tens of thousands of people applauded, and people were excited to say, “This is an important moment for the country.” Why is an air defense missile so exciting for a country?Look at Serbia’s position – it is closely surrounded by seven NATO countries, and the pain of NATO’s bombing of the Southern Coalition in 1999 has not healed.
This paragraph FK-3 is a slightly weakened export model., but there are still two brushes: the range reaches 100 kilometers, which can basically cover the entire Serbian airspace; It shoots at an altitude of 27 kilometers and can intercept both low-altitude and high-altitude targets. The most powerful thing is that it responds extremely quickly-it only takes 1.4 seconds from discovering the target to launching the missile. It has strong anti-interference ability and is still stable and reliable in complex electromagnetic environments. According to Serbian military officers, FK-3 can guide 12 missiles at the same time. It goes without saying how important this defensive capability is in an environment surrounded by NATO.
The response from the NATO side was also very intense, Johnson said. “This could break the military balance in the region.”Their air defense monopoly in the Balkans has been broken. Previously, NATO aircraft were flying in this zone, and now there are FK-3s watching all the weather, and if you want to enter freely, you will have to measure the amount.Serbia's approach actually reflects the wisdom of a small country's survival, and President Wuchic has always insisted on "balancing diplomacy", neither completely overturning with the West nor giving up sovereignty, introducing China's air defense equipment, is wanting to take back the initiative on security issues, not having to look at people's face.
So the current situation is that the United States is spending money on a bunch of unreasonable "secret weapons", which is essentially anxious about the development of our military power and wants to rely on new concepts to maintain deterrence; And our Hongqi-22 entered Europe, relying on reliability and unbound political conditions, and winning real trust. One is an offensive military game, the other is a defensive security cooperation, which is more popular?Just listen to the voice of the Serbian people.
In the final analysis, Relationships between countries are crucial.Every day you think about how to make some powerful weapons, want to attack, people naturally defend against you three points; but if you can help others solve problems, everyone is naturally willing to make friends with you. The 25 new weapons of the United States can finally be a few bad words, but the applause of the Chinese Red Flag-22 winning in Serbia has explained a lot - the world needs a reassuring "paraphrase", not a sword hanging on its head.
