Recently, Trump ordered the U.S. military to attack a Venezuelan ship in the Caribbean waters, which directly resulted in the death of three people. At the same time, bad news is also coming from Europe, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has a faint tendency to escalate. According to reports, Russia has launched its largest air strike this year.
In the midst of these unrest, a move by China has attracted global attention. On September 20, Serbia held a "United Forces" parade in Belgrade, where China-made Red Flag-22 and Red Flag-17 air defense missile systems were first publicly demonstrated in Europe.
Military gathering under the pretext of “anti-drug”
The fleet includes three Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, a missile cruiser, an offensive nuclear submarine, and three bipartisan attack ships, including the bipartisan attack ship, the Sulphur Island, as a core platform, carrying more than 4,000 marines.
The U.S. military has also deployed 10 F-35 hidden fighters just 860 kilometers from Puerto Rico’s airport in Venezuela’s capital Caracas, and the MQ-9 “Death” drone has also been deployed to the base, which can carry out close-range fire attacks at any time.
The Venezuelan government reacted vigorously, with President Maduro publicly pointing out on September 23 that the real purpose of the U.S. making “anti-drug” lies was to create regional violence and seek to overthrow the regime to control oil resources.
In response to the threat, Venezuela has mobilized 4.5 million militiamen to participate in national defense, and sent two F-16 fighter jets over the US destroyer on September 4 for deterrence, which were introduced in the early years of defence with the United States.
Maduro's government also offered a reward of $50 million for the undisclosed Epstein files of the US government, forming a confrontation with the US reward of the same amount for arresting itself.
The largest airstrike in Russian history.
At the same time, bad news has spread across Europe, and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has a tendency to escalate.Russia hasly launched the largest airstrike this year.
From midnight on September 27 to the early morning on September 28, Russian airstrikes lasted for 12 hours across 10 Ukrainian states, deploying 600 drones and 48 missiles, including advanced equipment such as the “Hadge” hypersonic missiles and the “Iskander-M” tactical ballistic missiles.
The target of the air strike was highly targeted, concentrating in Ukrainian military industrial enterprises, drone assembly warehouses and foreign mercenary deployments.The Ministry of Defense said on 28th that all intended targets were hit, successfully destroying Ukrainian weapons production capacity and logistics supply lines.
Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed on social media that the attack has killed four people and injured at least 40 people, the city of Kiev and the surrounding area were the most damaged, and several power plants and industrial buildings collapsed.
Further international concern has been raised by the fact that a Russian cannon accidentally hit the Polish embassy building in Ukraine, the first time NATO diplomatic facilities have been damaged during the conflict.
The airstrike took place the day after the closing of the UN General Assembly, Zelensky said the Russian side used it to demonstrate a tough stance and called on the EU to immediately stop importing Russian energy to cut off its source of funding for operations.
air defense missile.
In the midst of these unrest, a move by China has attracted global attention. On September 20, Serbia held a “United Forces” parade in Belgrade, China-made Red Flag - 22 and Red Flag - 17 air defense missile systems for the first time made public debut in Europe.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers participated in this military parade to commemorate National Unity Day, displaying 2,500 pieces of weapons and equipment. 47,000 people watched it on the spot, and dignitaries and military representatives from many countries attended the ceremony.
Public information shows that Hongqi-22 uses a combination of phased array radar and medium and long-range interceptors, with a maximum range of 150 kilometers and can build a regional air defense network; As a mobile air defense system, Hongqi-17 is specially designed to fill the gap in short-range defense, and the two form a high-and low air defense system.
Serbian President Vucic did not mention China's equipment directly in his parade speech, but stressed that "defense modernization depends on reliable international cooperation", and local people said in an interview that "China and Serbia are brother countries of steel friendship."
The gross value of China’s equipment represents approximately 35 percent of Serbia’s annual military spending, highlighting its investment orientation in defense construction.
Political Difficulties in Multiple Changes
The U.S. military deployment in the Caribbean Sea and the link between the situation in Europe highlight U.S. strategic anxiety.The Pentagon on September 4 accused Venezuela’s fighter jets of flying over U.S. warships of “high provocation”, but in fact its military deployment far exceeds what is needed to fight drug trafficking – the duties of the coast guard, and the use of heavy equipment such as nuclear submarines, F-35 fighter jets, has exceeded the annual military expenses of most middle countries.
Military analysis pointed out that the U.S. military's deployment lacks the core strength of the aircraft carrier, and the inventory of long-range precision-guided munitions has shrunk significantly due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Red Sea escort. In fact, it does not have full invasion capabilities and is more of a strategic deterrent.
China's weapons debut in Europe has touched American sensitive nerves.For a long time, the United States has dominated the European defense market, and the public debut of the Red Flag series missiles has been seen as a signal to break the traditional arms trade pattern.
Serbia is located in the core of the Balkans, the parade is at the crucial period of the EU's east expansion, its intention by showing the regional forces of the balance of equipment is clear, which forms a subtle counterpart with the strategy of the United States to strengthen "half-globe control".
Currently, the Trump administration is trying to shift domestic contradictions through strong external hardships, but its strategy of “empowering people” is facing multiple challenges.
Cooperation between Venezuela and Russia continues to deepen, and Russia has urgently rescued 2,000 "Geranium-2" drones; Serbia has improved its independent defense capabilities by introducing Chinese equipment, which is shaking the traditional hegemonic territory of the United States.
