htmlOn September 28, the Russian Aerospace Corporation announced that Russia has signed a relevant agreement with China, and that the two sides will cooperate on satellite navigation system . Russia will set up a Russian Glonas system navigation station in China, while China will set up a Beidou system navigation station in Russia. It is reported that the Russian-China Satellite Navigation Strategic Cooperation Project Committee held a meeting via video on September 27 and signed the agreement at the meeting. Analysts pointed out that the recent Russian army suffered a crushing defeat in Kharkov, especially in the Samui area, may have deeply hurt Putin , which led to the resolute decision of the Kremlin : Strengthening the Russian navigation system and improving the huge gap with the United States in terms of satellite guidance weapons, and even seeking help from friendly countries including China. Previously, the two sides made relatively slow progress in this field.
According to the current public information, the Russian side currently plans to set up a Russian Gronas system navigation station in Changchun, Urumqi and Shanghai, and China plans to set up a Beidou navigation station in Obinsk, Irkutsk and Kamchatka Petropavlovsk . If the project is finally implemented, it means that both Russia and China can use Russia's Gronas navigation system and China's Beidou system at the same time. With the support of dual systems, it can provide more accurate and reliable navigation. In addition, it is reported that China and Russia will continue to expand and strengthen cooperation in satellite navigation and space exploration.
This time, the two major powers carried out cooperation in the field of satellite navigation, which is not only mutually beneficial and win-win, but also for Russia, it can be said to be a timely help. After entering September, the Ukrainian army launched counterattacks on multiple fronts, especially in the direction of Kharkov and Khlsong , achieving a series of results. According to Global Network on September 28, US Secretary of State Blinken said at a press conference that Ukraine will rely on the weapons and equipment provided by the United States in the future to gradually regain all lost territory, including Crimea . Blinken's statement is not without basis. The current Ukrainian army's offensive on the battlefield is indeed unbearable, especially the battlefield situation awareness ability has shown a crushing situation on the Russian army. The Russian army's precision guided weapon did not have satellite guidance, and the battlefield performed in a mess. As we all know, satellite-guided weapons are popular among the military of various countries because of their low cost and significant effects. The Russian army, which lost its advantage in precision strikes, made the Ukrainian offensive much more reassuring and bold.
According to a previous report by Global Times , Mark Werner, chairman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, publicly stated in an interview with CNN that the reason why Ukraine can achieve major results in Kharkov is inseparable from the active support of the United States and its NATO allies, especially the United States, the United Kingdom and Ukraine have been sharing battlefield intelligence information to help the decisions of the Ukrainian army. Previously, the Pentagon also revealed that the United States now has the ability to scan the Ukrainian battlefield every few hours. US Defense Secretary Austin also said that the United States will not directly interfere in the Ukrainian military's command decisions, but can provide them with battlefield information. In addition, the US military also provided a large number of Himas rockets, and its hit accuracy made the Russian army suffer enough. On the contrary, the Russian army did not use precise strike weapons generally.
Although Russia's Gronas navigation system is an independent system independently developed by Russia, it has a slight lack of accuracy, so it performs very badly in Ukraine, and often even has delayed information transmission or misjudgment problems. The Beidou system is different. The current positioning accuracy of the Beidou system has reached the decimeter and centimeter levels, the transmission speed is also very fast, and its anti-interference ability is first-class. As a newly developed navigation system, its latecomer advantages have gradually been revealed, and the benefits of the triple-frequency signal even pale the dual-frequency signal of GPS.
European and American countries have always been jealous of the Beidou system, but they have no way to prevent the establishment of the Beidou system. Yang Changfeng, chief engineer of Beidou system, once said that on a global scale, Beidou's positioning accuracy is comparable to that of the US GPS, but its accuracy in local key areas is better than GPS. Modern warfare has evolved from relying on a single military to systematic combat in the past. It is impossible to lack any of them in reconnaissance, command, late stage, fire strikes, effect evaluation and other aspects. The flaws exposed by the Russian army's defeat in Kharkov this time undoubtedly sounded the alarm for us. Fortunately, after so many years of unstoppable construction and low-key development, our army no longer has shortcomings in all areas, and even some areas are far superior to the US military. This is probably one of the important reasons why Russia came to cooperate this time.
