According to the latest news from overseas network, Japan recently carried 8 satellite small rockets, Epsilon No. 6, failed to launch in Ganfu Town, Kagoshima Prefecture. The rocket suddenly malfunctioned during the ascending process, and then issued a long-range self-destruction command on the ground, and the rocket instantly turned into a ball of fire.
The rocket's research and development agency said that detailed reasons for why the rocket failed are under investigation and the self-destruction command will not cause damage to the ground.
At present, all images of the explosion of the Epsilon rocket have been deleted. Japanese media NHK revealed that this is the first launch of this type of rocket, and it is also the second launch of the main rocket in Japan after 19 years.
The failure of the Japanese rocket launch can be regarded as a setback in the field of aviation research at first glance, but the information revealed behind it is worthy of deep thought. After all, there is also a great connection between the missile and the rocket.
Rockets are generally used as carriers for launching satellites or weapons warheads (warheads), while missiles are carriers that control flight trajectory based on launching warheads. That is to say, as long as the rocket is thoroughly studied, the research of missiles will be done.
Although countries around the world are conducting research on aviation fields such as rocket development and launch, no country has stronger ambitions in the military and political fields than Japan. Unlike other countries, Japan is now rapidly turning right and showing its ambition to make a comeback, which has to make people wary and pay attention to some of its military-related research.
As an abnormal country that was defeated by World II , Japan was restricted by requirements such as not allowing the army and the ability to start a war again. However, since the remnants of Japanese militarism were not completely eliminated, Japan still had ideas about its rise, and with the support of this idea, it constantly tried to break through restrictions in order to seek the so-called "national normalization."
In recent years, Japan's right-leaning trend has become increasingly obvious, and more and more actions have been taken in developing military strength, including increasing military spending to cultivate the Self-Defense Force, promoting the modification of the Peace Constitution, and building a quasi- aircraft carrier under the name of manufacturing the helicopter destroyer (it is no different from an aircraft carrier with a slight modification).
In terms of increasing military expenditure, Japan once increased military expenditure from 1% of GDP to 2%. This is an act worthy of vigilance among countries around the world, because generally speaking, the military expenditure of normal countries is between 2% and 4% of GDP. Japan, as an abnormal country, raised military expenditure to 2% in the " Defense White Paper " without any concealment at special moments, which shows its ambition.
You should know that when military expenditure accounts for only 1% of GDP, Japan's military expenditure ranking has already ranked fifth in the world. Then if we really follow the guidance of its own "Defense White Paper" and increase military expenditure by 1% by another 1%, it is almost certain that Japan's military expenditure ranking will rise again.
And in this way, with the support of a large amount of funds, its military strength will not be improved at all. At the same time, the improvement of military power has also made Japan, which has a tendency to recover militarism, more threats to world peace.
In terms of promoting the amendment of the Peace Constitution, it is obvious that this is Japan paving the way for its transformation of its Self-Defense Force into the National Defense Force, because once the Peace Constitution is amended in accordance with Japan's requirements, it means that the Self-Defense Force will receive more rights.
However, even if Japan proposes to amend the constitution, this process is actually relatively slow. However, after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe passed away a few days ago, Japan's constitutional amendment forces accelerated the progress of this process, which made Japan increasingly suspicious.
As for the secret manufacturing of aircraft carriers, it is well known to everyone. Since they cannot have large military equipment such as aircraft carriers, Japan proposed the concept of "helicopter destroyers" and built a series of types of ships, , based on this, among which the Izumo-class helicopter destroyer is almost the same as an aircraft carrier, which also exposes Japan's plan to secretly build aircraft carriers under the name of manufacturing helicopter destroyers.
However, because Japan did not admit that Izumo is an quasi-aircraft carrier , and does not have an aircraft carrier in the true sense, it cannot stop this sneaky study of manufacturing aircraft carriers as required. However, this is not completely unrealized. At least this further reveals the fact that Japanese militarism is trying to make a comeback.
Because of this, Japan is making great strides in the field of rocket research and development in the context of turbulent international situation, which is worthy of fun. What's more, with the precedent of the quasi-aircraft carrier of Izumo , Japan frequently conducts rocket-related tests, and it is not ruled out that it is trying to obtain some data or experience with strategic strike capabilities.
So, when the right-leaning trend in Japan is aggravated, any military action needs to be paid attention and attention. After all, no one can guarantee that it will do something dangerous to world peace in order to seek the so-called "national normalization".
