Information from Western military websites on November 27 showed that under the background of constantly facing external strategic survival pressure, the Russian military organized a test operation to improve its defense capabilities and successfully hit the intended target by launching new missiles. From the perspective of the United States, the Russian army's action is full of provocative meaning and needs to be countered.
From a global perspective, the United States and Russia are still the most powerful military powers, and the two countries have also maintained a state of military trial for a long time. This is the continuation of the US-Soviet hegemony at the military level. As we all know, Russia is the largest successor country to the Soviet Union, from which it has acquired a large amount of weapons and equipment, and has maintained a strong military base. For example, in the field of nuclear bombs, Russia continues to maintain a huge nuclear arsenal, with more nuclear warheads than the United States. At the level of air strike force, the country has also inherited a variety of advanced equipment such as the Tu160 bomber to create a powerful combat system.
However, due to long-term sanctions, Russia’s overall military strength has fallen sharply compared with the Soviet Union. In order to strengthen its own strength, Russia gradually adjusted its military development strategy and strengthened the research and development of defense systems and high-end weapons to maintain asymmetrical combat advantages. A few days ago, the Russian Air Force carried out a test operation of the defense system. It is reported that on the 26th of this month, local time, the Russian Aerospace Forces, based on previous operations, once again used Kazakhstan’s "Saray-Shagan" shooting range to test a new type of missile and successfully destroyed the intended target. For this test, a spokesperson for the Russian Aerospace Forces claimed that the missile has gradually tested and improved various performance indicators on the basis of multiple tests, fully verifying the power of the defense system, and it is getting closer and closer to the official deployment. near. According to relevant data, in recent years, the Russian army has conducted many new missile tests at the range, and the most recent one occurred at the end of October this year.
Some military experts pointed out that from a variety of details, the new PRS-1M anti-missile interceptor should be the target of the Russian Air Force’s test, and it will pass this successful test to create favorable conditions for replacing the 53T6 missile. It is understood that the 53T6 missile is a regional defense weapon deployed by the Russian army in 1995 and an important component of the A-135 anti-missile system. The missile is equipped with a nuclear warhead with a total equivalent of 10,000 tons. It adopts a radio guidance mode and is guided by a supercomputer to carry out precise interception. With the extension of the service period, the missile gradually showed signs of aging, so the Russian army accelerated the introduction of the so-called replacement PRS-1M, making it a short-range interceptor for the A-235 system.

A person from the US White House pointed out that the Russian military's concentrated test firing of such interceptor bombs is indeed extraordinary. This is destroying the strategic balance between the United States and Russia, and it is a naked provocation to the US military. Based on this, the U.S. needs to make an assessment as soon as possible and come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to meet its challenges.
