During World War II, the British Air Force destroyed the German Monêne Valley Dam in one fell swoop, causing immeasurable losses to Germany. In the 1990s, in Bosnia, former Yugoslavia, in order to attack the downstream confrontational forces, the Serbian army also adopted the method of destroying the dam.
In the process of international military competition and domestic political competition, attacking the other party’s reservoir facilities is a fast and effective means. As long as it can threaten the other party’s reservoir dam, there is no doubt that it will take the initiative in the war.
In China and even the world, the most eye-catching reservoir facility is the Three Gorges Dam. Since the beginning of the reservoir construction, visionary military experts have been worried about the military security of the dam.
Our neighbor Japan, some media claim that the goal of curbing China can be achieved through military operations to combat the Three Gorges Dam.
The Three Gorges Dam is a fixed behemoth, and there are many ways to be attacked, but from the perspective of attack effect and implementation conditions, the following are the following.
The enemy infiltrated through special forces and carried out an explosion in the Three Gorges Dam. This method is simple to say, but it will be quite complicated to operate in practice, because our army has strict defenses at the Three Gorges Dam. Between 260 meters upstream and 200 meters downstream, it is the military alert area of our army. Moreover, more than 150 observation stations have been built around the dam. It is difficult for special forces to break through our army's defense and approach the dam.
uses long-range bombers to carry out fire assaults or launch cruise missiles. Many people believe that only the use of nuclear weapons can destroy the strong Three Gorges Dam. But once the other party uses nuclear weapons, it will undoubtedly be subject to nuclear retaliation from China. The whole world will prevent this from happening, so without Japan, it would never choose nuclear weapons to destroy a reservoir.
In fact, before the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the ability to resist destruction was the primary consideration. The Three Gorges Dam is the largest giant gravity dam in the world, and it uses its structural self-weight to maintain stability. Experts said that when a dam with this structure is damaged by conventional weapons, the largest caliber bomb will only blow up some auxiliary facilities, which will not damage the foundation of the dam at all.
According to calculations, in order to truly shake the main body of the dam, at least 300 tons of bombs are required to attack the same location in a concentrated and precise manner. However, the straight-line distance of the Three Gorges Dam is more than 2,000 kilometers from the Japanese Air Force Base, and there are a large number of military airports and air defense networks in the eastern part of China, and there are also three ground air defense forces around the Three Gorges Dam. It is impossible for Japan to bypass these air defense systems and drive straight in, not to mention that it also needs to carry more than 300 tons of explosives.
2000 kilometers, 300 tons. These two figures mean that Japan needs to send more than 60 F-2 and F-15 fighter jets to carry bombs of such weight. The fuel consumption of the aircraft is amazing. The Japanese army carried aerial fuel at most can support one round trip. Once China is hit by a military blow, Japanese aircraft will either give up their mission and return immediately or make a suicide-style one-way attack. However, the tight defenses in eastern China are likely to prevent Japanese planes from flying out of China's coastline.
