It has been more than 40 years since the last medium-sized self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. After punishing Vietnam, our country shifted to socialist economic construction with reform and opening up as the core. Our army also did not have any military affairs after the early 1990s. Conduct large-scale military operations.
After summing up the experience and lessons of counterattack , after entering the 21st century, our army has become a modern military force commensurate with national strength through large-scale disarmament and improvement of modernization standards of weapons and equipment.
Strong military strength is a prerequisite for containing war, but the world is not peaceful. There are many countries around our country that want to stir up trouble. The anti-China forces on Taiwan Island have never given up on Taiwan independence. They "raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while"! Our army must strengthen combat readiness and organize training to cope with possible wars.
So, what kind of weapons and equipment will our army use in future wars? Will it be a mechanized war like the current Russia-Ukraine war?
Judging from the large-scale actual combat exercises currently being carried out by our army, a large number of types and quantities of unmanned equipment have entered the actual testing stage, which means that in the future our army will use a large number of robots or unmanned equipment. Conduct information/mathematical warfare against the enemy.
The battlefield is nothing more than reconnaissance, fire strikes and logistical support. At present, our army currently has corresponding unmanned equipment in these three aspects.
The benefits of having more unmanned equipment are obvious. The purpose is to reduce the use of manpower, and more importantly, reduce casualties. For example: a robot dog can replace a scout to conduct close reconnaissance of the enemy. If it is equipped with weapons, it will become a combat robot, while an unmanned vehicle transports ammunition to the forefront, with small size (small target), large load capacity and speed. The characteristics of speed are also to save manpower and reduce casualties.
Making temporary explosive equipment on the battlefield to blast obstacles has always been a major training subject for the armies of various countries. However, it is very dangerous to use explosive bags or blasting tubes to blow up triangular cones, barbed wires and even bunkers... it is very dangerous! Many times, they are suppressed by enemy fire before they even get close to the target.
Nowadays, there are multi-axis drones, which can carry 20 kilograms of explosives for blasting. The barrier breaking efficiency has been greatly improved, with almost no casualties. The operator can carry out airdrop blasting beyond the range of the enemy's heavy machine gun .
The extensive use of these unprecedented unmanned equipment in our military exercises shows that our military has made great progress in information construction in the past 10 years. At the same time, our country's machinery manufacturing industry has also achieved great development and can be serialized and diversified. It produces the unmanned equipment needed for reconnaissance, combat and logistics required by the troops, and the amount of unmanned equipment produced with the support of high-efficiency production capacity is also quite large. As far as the "Ukrainian War" currently underway , both sides have purchased thousands of civilian drones made in my country to be used as reconnaissance equipment for company and platoon combat units. However, if drone manufacturers outside China are allowed to provide such advanced and large quantities of drones, it will be It is something that cannot be done at all, and with the support of many domestic vehicle manufacturing companies and information engineering companies, our military is equipped with a large number of unmanned weapons, which is the envy of foreign military forces.
In future wars, hundreds or even thousands of unmanned vehicles will be running around the battlefield and drones will be flying everywhere. This will save a lot of manpower and reduce casualties. Even if they are destroyed, they will only need to add a few more vehicles or drones. things.
War first entered the age of firearms from cold weapons, then the age of mechanization, and now it is developing in the direction of informatization (digitization), and unmanned weapons is the top priority. Replacing humans with machines to complete dangerous and complicated tasks is The development of science and technology is inevitable, but the prerequisite is that to develop these modern or even sci-fi weapons, one must master the forefront of science and technology, which means mastering the development of the most advanced AI, artificial intelligence , and large-capacity communication equipment. The electronics industry requires a huge machinery manufacturing industry and an industrial population of about 100 million to realize it. However, there are very few countries in the world that meet these conditions, and the United States cannot achieve it. It can only be designed using its own research and development capabilities. Looking for countries in the "small circle" to manufacture, the remaining countries will not be able to complete the task. In the end, they will have to mechanize and fail to overcome this hurdle. In the end, military equipment and combat thinking will become increasingly backward, forming a A double generation gap is an extremely scary thing.
War is cruel! If there is a gap in technology, it will be attacked by dimensionality reduction. It will be like a cold weapon against a hot weapon, and it will be killed without leaving any trace. It will be so useless to be wiped out by the opponent like playing an online game, and there will not even be a trace of tragedy in the end. .
Therefore, in order to cope with future wars, we must first improve our industrial capabilities.
