The Bulletin of American Atomic Scientists shows that China’s Rocket Army currently has 40 ballistic missile brigades, which is 30% more than in 2017. Among them, 12 brigades belong to the Eastern Theater and the Southern Theater, which are mainly responsible for handling the main affairs of the Taiwan Strait and the Southern Sea . In addition, nearly half of the ballistic missiles and the brigade have cruise or ballistic missile launchers. The Chinese Rocket Force is also continuing to expand new missile brigades at bases in Fujian and Guangdong.
With the increasing strategic competition between China and the United States in recent years, the situation in the southern waters, the Taiwan Strait and even the Sino-Indian border has become increasingly tense. According to the data, the United States has a total of nearly 3,800 nuclear warheads in stock by the beginning of 2019. Russia has more than 4,500 nuclear warheads so far, and even India has 150 nuclear warheads. So far, it is not surprising that China has improved its military combat readiness. Things. What's more, our country has long set the goal of deepening national defense and military reform. The original Second Artillery Force was upgraded to a Rocket Force in 2015. Z2z

Presumably, all military fans know that our army and air force are now very dependent on local bases, and their combat area is still limited to our territory and surrounding areas. In terms of the navy, although our country is developing very fast today, the time for the construction of warships is measured in "years", not to mention large ships. Naturally, ocean-going navies cannot be built overnight. To put it bluntly, my country’s current navy, land, and air forces can be developed at the forefront of the world, but they are extremely lacking in the ability to attack the United States. This is very detrimental to the current tensions between China and the United States. At this point, it is necessary to strengthen the national defense force, and the Rocket Force is the only force that can easily strike the United States. Needless to say, the Dongfeng -41 intercontinental missile can reach the United States in 21 minutes; Dongfeng-17 has terminal guidance technology, and it is not a problem to break through the US defense system; Dongfeng-21D can cause great danger to American aircraft carriers. . In the context of successive successes in my country’s aerospace industry, the time it takes to produce an intercontinental missile will become shorter and shorter. Even if it costs hundreds of millions of yuan to manufacture the missile, the power of the missile is well known. Moreover, compared to aircraft carriers, fighter jets are much cheaper. Combining cost performance and cost, this may be the reason for my country's rapid expansion of the rocket army, but it is not the only reason.
It is very necessary to expand the size of the rocket army.
The number of nuclear warheads in the United States, Russia and India are all increasing. It can be seen that there will be more and more nuclear forces around my country in the future, and the threat is increasing. In addition to expanding the rocket army to deal with the containment of the United States and other countries, it can also help my country complete the great cause of reunification. As mentioned above, the purpose of deploying in the Eastern Theater and the Southern Theater is to handle affairs in the Taiwan Strait and the southern waters, and many of the expanded Rocket Forces are deployed in Guangdong and Fujian. This also shows that if missiles are launched from these areas to the Taiwan Strait , It can hit the target in less than a minute, and the US military has no chance to react. In the southern waters, our rocket force has also played a great role. In the South China Sea standoff in 2016, our military was still able to win despite insufficient strength because the US military feared the anti-ship missiles of the Chinese Rocket Force. Although
said that expanding the rocket army is a national policy, it also shows that the Chinese side is well prepared. The United States is currently opposing my country in the southern waters and the Taiwan Strait. The role of the Rocket Force cannot be ignored. However, in this report, regardless of whether the Americans have discovered the threat of the expansion of the Rocket Force by our people, for my country, the expansion of the Rocket Force It is an effective means to deter many countries, including the United States.
