On November 29, 2022, the latest annual "China Military Power Report" released by Pentagon is quite eye-catching. The US military "raises" China's military strength, which is completely an old trick to scare the US Congress to achieve the goal of more military spending.
The content in the US report is indeed very strange
In order to demand more military expenditure, the US military tried to describe China as the world's number one military power in the report, including: talking about China's hypersonic technology, one detail worth paying attention to, the United States is promoting a strike from space. It turned out that in this report, the US military confirmed that China has conducted a test similar to the "suborbital hypersonic global bomber". The specific situation is: In July 2021, the US said that China conducted a hypersonic technology test. An hypersonic aircraft, , entered the earth orbit , with the help of the launch vehicle , and moved to the target area along the earth orbit. After reaching the predetermined point, the warhead warhead track derailed and hit the predetermined target. The US military believes that during the entire test, the Chinese-made hypersonic aircraft had a flight speed of Mach 20, a flight distance of more than 40,000 kilometers, and a flight time of more than 100 minutes.
Russian media also paid attention to the content of the corresponding report of the United States
Since China did not confirm any news, whether this test exists is a problem, but the United States still claims that China has tested hypersonic weapons that can surround the earth, which is the highest level achieved by China's high supersonic technology. In the report handed to Congress, it admitted that China has a global bombing system. Russian media "Military Observation" quoted the content of the report and admitted that neither the United States nor Russia has similar technology. If China really conducts this experiment, then the levels reflected are indeed not owned by the United States and Russia.
Russian media "Military Observation" further believes that the US military has unprecedentedly paid close attention to the PLA's superb weapons, which can be seen from the latest annual "China Military Power Report" talking about China's hypersonic technology. No surprises. Currently, in the field of hypersonic technology, China has come to the forefront of the United States, and only Russia can compete with China. The United States is quite dissatisfied with this, so naturally we must pay close attention to China's hypersonic technology development.
Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile has been released to target targets in real-time.
From the US report, it can be seen that China has not stopped in the field of hypersonic technology. Not long ago, people were discussing the performance of China's Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile . Now there are new trends. After Dongfeng-17 , there is also a "global bomber" that has the ability to orbit the earth and strike targets. This capability is of great significance. You should know that the current intercontinental ballistic missile has a range of only more than 10,000 kilometers, which is a complete intercontinental strike mission. This is the method of the closest straight line. Therefore, the flight trajectory of the intercontinental missile is very good to expect, and it is easy to judge from which direction it will come. Therefore, the United States has established an anti-missile position in Alaska. All intercontinental ballistic missiles that attack the United States must pass over the Arctic, so the anti-missile in Alaska can be intercepted.
If we have suborbital bombers, then the aerospace situation is completely different.
If the range of missile reaches 40,000 kilometers, then it can bypass the earth. That means that after the intercontinental missile takes off, it can fly in any direction, and then approach the target from any direction to carry out a strike. Then the anti-missile system , which the United States has worked hard to build, will lose its effect. Our missile can easily bypass its anti-missile system and strike North America from an unpreventive direction.
If it can indeed reach a range of 40,000 kilometers, it is definitely a big leap forward
Now the United States officially admits in the form of a report that China and Russia are ahead of the United States. Until the end of 2022, the US military has not yet equipped a hypersonic missile . China and Russia have achieved a large number of installations and achieved the goal of actual combat use.China's technical level is higher. Chinese global bombers can drop warheads around the earth, which is not the conventional two-point and one-line missile that people think of. Perhaps after reading this, many people may feel a little surprised. Isn’t this a hypersonic missile? How did he become a global bomber? Is it written wrong? Yes, let me explain it below.
hypersonic weapons themselves are very blurry
We conducted a technical test, and it was not clear: hypersonic missiles. From the observation report of the US radar system, the target feature found is that it meets the characteristics of hypersonic missiles, but its characteristics can also be explained as: hypersonic bombers. Therefore, in the report, the United States confirmed that China tested hypersonic weapons that could surround the earth, but did not emphasize that they were hypersonic missiles. Note that it is just a weapon. It is not clear which weapon it is. Maybe we need to make a choice. Anyway, we are all attacking targets on the earth from space, and we only give priority to the issue of attacks.
This situation surprised the United States quite. Before publishing this report, it was first US Air Force Secretary General Kendall emphasized that China is developing the ability to "global strike...from space" and "de facto first strike capabilities". Later, US Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chairman General Haydn issued a warning. This test not only showed very accurate characteristics, but also proved that China has "amazing" new capabilities, providing China with unprecedented ability to launch "raid" nuclear attacks.
U.S. space force has also verified the existence of such tests
Previously, the United States tried to develop national anti-missile systems in order to avoid the fate of nuclear strikes , trying to make the United States dare to launch nuclear war , but there is no need to worry about being hit by nuclear strikes. Now it seems that Americans' dreams have been shattered. The development of hypersonic technology has made the anti-missile system seem to be ineffective. The current anti-missile technology has no interception capability for hypersonic missiles. Now the further improvement of hypersonic technology has led to the emergence of a global bombing system, which has directly turned the anti-missile system into a decoration. As General Haydn claimed, attacks can be launched from space from unexpected angles and directions. In order to "a way to avoid defense and missile early warning systems", the problem of air defense can only be seriously complicated.
Next step, how to intercept superb
Modern military technology is being updated and replaced, new concept military technology is moving from the backstage to the front stage, hypersonic missiles are just the first major new concept equipment to be installed, and are not the only one. Other technologies, laser technology, electromagnetic gun , etc. are also about to emerge. Perhaps the war in the future will undergo tremendous changes!
Maybe the United States really has to worry about whether it can maintain its advantage. It should be noted that in almost all new concept military technology fields, the United States is not in the leading position. I wonder how the United States will deal with this situation? The United States must quickly catch up in the field of military technology, otherwise the disadvantage of the United States in the report may change from flattering the enemy to the reality it faces.
