The decade from 2012 to 2022 is not only a decade of leapfrog development at the social and economic level in China, but also a critical period for the transformation and development of the People's Liberation Army. Under the spring breeze of the "military reform", our army has accelerated its progress towards modernization and informatization, and the army organization system, training mechanism, and talent training system have become more perfect and scientific. A large number of advanced weapons and equipment have been launched and successfully equipped to troops to guard the magnificent land of China.
J-20 stealth fighter , Y-20 strategic transport aircraft , 0.55 million tons of large drive, USS Fujian aircraft carrier... These naval and air weapons and equipment together constitute the deepest memory of the PLA's 10 years of development. In addition, the Rocket Force, which undertakes my country's strategic strike mission, has also achieved many achievements that have attracted the attention of the Chinese people.
Recently, CCTV's " Military Report " program conducted a panoramic report on the development and construction of the Rocket Force in 10 years. Although the entire report lasts less than 5 minutes, the amount of information disclosed is very rich. From the Changjian-100 supersonic cruise missile that performs long-range precision strikes, to the Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile , which can break through all anti-missile system , to the "powerful weapon" of our army's intercontinental strikes - Dongfeng-31AG and Dongfeng-41 intercontinental ballistic missile , the main equipment of the Rocket Force has appeared one after another, feasting the eyes of the people of the whole country.
The most shocking scene appears in more than 10 seconds before the end of the report. In the video of the TV camera, several Dongfeng-26 medium-range missiles were fired in the northwest desert. Such a scene is enough to stir up the turmoil in everyone's hearts.
For a long time, China's national defense was basically held by the Rocket Force (Second Artillery) troops. Although it has the foundation of nuclear weapons laid by the " two bombs and one satellite " cause, the PLA's strategic strike capabilities are still far behind those of the United States, Russia (Soviet). However, no difficulties can overwhelm the Chinese people, and no gap will erode the firm confidence in the PLA's ability to develop strategic strikes. Based on the theoretical research of older generation experts such as Qian Xuesen , we aim at the characteristics of modern combat and actively develop missiles and weapons with different uses and ranges, and develop and strengthen the "Dongfeng Family".
Dongfeng-31 intercontinental missile was first introduced in 1999 and could not be launched anytime and anywhere in the field. However, after the transformation and upgrading of Chinese military workers, by the time of Zhu Rihe parade in 2017, Dongfeng-31AG had the ability to "reliance without support" launch. At the military parade for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 2019, it was better than the Dongfeng-31AG and had a global range.
After 2010, with the United States announcing its "return to the Asia-Pacific" strategy, the US military's aircraft carrier battle group has been active on the coast of China many times. In order to counter the US deterrence, the People's Liberation Army held live-fire shooting and officially announced the release of the first anti-ship ballistic missile, , - Dongfeng-21D. In the past decade, as the Dongfeng-21D missile retreated to the second line, the Dongfeng-26 missile took over the predecessor's mantle, forming the pillar of my country's medium- and long-range strikes.
The blooming of Dongfeng Express is the most direct reflection of "the waist becomes hard" and "the person listens to the words". At the Shangri-La Dialogue held in mid-this year, Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe told the outside world that "the People's Liberation Army has equipped the new nuclear weapons equipment displayed in China's 70th anniversary military parade." On the same occasion, facing China's warning that "did not hesitate to fight" on the Taiwan Strait issue, U.S. Defense Secretary Austin responded to "supporting the one-China principle."
US media recently published an article saying, "China's Dongfeng series ballistic missiles are currently the most technologically-rich missile in the world." With its strong military capabilities, China has included more than 3,500 high-value targets in the US military bases in South Korea, US military bases in Japan, US military bases in Australia and US military bases in Guam into the fire strike circle of Dongfeng missiles.
China has never listed any country as a potential target of military strikes. Behind the US military is so afraid of , the Chinese Rocket Force , it just reflects its inner hegemonic idea.Nowadays, Pentagon still has deep strategic concerns about the Rocket Force. In a few decades, with the reversal of the strategic strike balance between China and the United States, the US military may turn from its current concerns to realizing reality and seeking a shift in relations with China.
