There are 7 large ships forming a formation to sail into the north of Aleutian Islands , that is, sailing within the range of Bering Sea , and it is possible to get close to Alaska. When the superpower's Coast Guard "discovered" this fleet, it was already hundreds of kilometers north of Kisca Island, which could easily provoke the superpower's sensitive nerves. Although this is not the first time that foreign fleets have been discovered in the Bering Sea and north of the American Aleutian Islands in the past 10 years, it has as many as 7 ships in size and the actual total tonnage is close to 70,000 tons. You should know that Kisca Island was occupied for more than one year during World War II . Therefore, the special mention of Kisca Island here is a strategic reminder. What surprised the superpowers even more was that in the face of a long-distance fleet of about 70,000 tons of total tonnage, except for the aircraft carrier , other types of ships are fully equipped and have strong long-range strike capabilities. The superpowers can only send a coast guard ship of thousands of tons to "respond"! Everyone knows that the coast guard ship belongs to the coast guard, and
is not a regular navy at all. So where did the superpower's surface fleet, which is still the world's number one, go in the face of the seven foreign giant ships that "visited"? In fact, there are no regular large ship deployments of superpower navies nearby. This itself is a fact that does not need to be argued. In fact, such a reality can also be evaluated from both positive and negative aspects. The positive aspect is: the superpower can easily deal with the 70,000-ton fleet by just dispatching a coast guard ship of thousands of tons, showing the superpower's strategic calmness and strategic confidence. In antonym, it is the superpowers in the millions of square kilometers of land and maritime rights area near Arctic Circle . Facing the huge foreign fleet, there is no naval ship that can be denied. They can only use an old coast guard ship to barely charge! If the assumption suddenly turns into actual combat, then it goes without saying that the Kisca Island lost to the past will be opened, even Alaska, as if it were almost no one! Whether it is right or wrong, a certain basic fact of
is that the current defense of the US Alaska, including the US Aleutian Islands, is indeed very weak. There are neither large military ports nor regular surface ships and underwater nuclear submarines for a long time. Usually, there are only a few coast guard ships that are temporarily in place. So, the superpower currently has more than 4 million tons of water and underwater assets on paper. Why is it almost unprepared for the huge Arctic territory? The reason is not complicated: First, although the superpower navy has more than 4 million tons on paper, it is definitely the world's number one, and there are 14 super aircraft carrier and more than 70 nuclear submarine , about 70 of them are generally old, which is actually the expired stock assets of in the Cold War era. There are as many as 7 active Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and more than 45 nuclear submarines, as well as a considerable number of old shield ships, which have been docked in major military ports that have been in the local area for a long time and are basically no longer dispatched. In this way, the superpower navy is actually still active on the water surface.
ship includes nuclear submarines, and the real total volume only accounts for 30% of the 4 million tons, which is about 1.2 million tons. And these 1.2 million tons must be deployed globally. Especially intensive deployments are made at the forefront of the Western Pacific. This will inevitably lead to the huge Alaska and Aleutian areas outside its homeland, which is equivalent to a long-term lack of defense. Since the Cold War era, superpowers have particularly liked to play the strategic tricks of cutting-edge existence and cutting-edge pressure. For example, the Black Sea warship impact incident at the end of the Cold War and the "scalpel" incident in the Barents Sea are all classic cases of superpowers putting pressure on a frontier. Now I am repeating this old trick in Sita. The long-term frontier existence and frontier pressure on other major powers often creates an illusion for the world, which is to make the opponent feel that the superpower's force tentacles are at their own door. It seems to have an absolute advantage. However, this approach has also led to a huge gap in strength between the strategic frontier and the superpower.
The Soviet era was once prepared to engage in reverse frontier existence and frontier pressure, and this is the Cuban missile incident. However, the strength of the Soviet Navy's water surface was too weak, which eventually led to a rapid defeat in this cutting-edge pressure strategy. Later, the absolute strength of the superpower navy was at its peak, making the world think that the existence of frontiers and pressure from frontiers could only be the patent of superpowers; other major powers could not imitate it. But history develops. With the increasing decline in the overall strength of superpowers, especially their naval forces, and the increasing strength of other major powers' naval forces. The superpower suddenly realized that the cutting-edge Western Pacific strategy that it is still implementing has become so fragile. Once the frontiers collapse rapidly due to poor capabilities, the strength line will be quickly pushed back to , Seattle, and even Los Angeles' territorial waters, and the huge Alaska and Aleutian instantly become unprepared at sea! Then the strategic bombing and strategic anti-missile bases deployed in Alaska in the future will also lose their meaning.
Today's superpowers have put all strategic fantasies on the first island chain to the second island chain, which is basically equivalent to France before World War II's full expectation of Maginot line of defense ; and once it is easily bypassed, do you really have to learn from Paris tonight without defense?
