Because the United States is the only superpower in the world, it always leads other countries in the economic and military fields, so the outside world has always had a good impression of the United States. However, as far as the real development of the United States is concerned, accidents have occurred from time to time in the course of its vigorous development. Whether it is fighter aircraft in the aerospace field or aircraft carriers in the field of coastal defense construction, there have been accidents of varying degrees, which has caused the development of the United States. More serious impact.
It is reported that in addition to the spread of the epidemic at military bases, there is another major event that plagues the US Air Force in 2020, that is, frequent "crash" accidents. Beginning in 2019, in the two years ending in December 2020, the U.S. has experienced multiple crashes. 26 active-duty pilots of the U.S. Air Force were killed in the accidents. In addition, 29 fighters crashed. The economic loss is as high as US$2.3 billion, which is a relatively optimistic situation compared to the previous one. According to statistics, from 2013 to 2018, the US military has experienced more than 6,000 flight accidents. 198 pilots were killed in the accidents and 157 military aircraft crashed, causing economic losses of up to tens of billions of dollars.
The United States has always been known to the outside world as the number one military power. It stands to reason that this should not happen. This is obviously not in line with its previous call for the first military strength of the US military. As the superior equipment in modern warfare, fighter planes have unique strategic advantages on the battlefield and can seize the opportunity when the enemy is not prepared. Judging by the speed at which the United States builds fighter jets, the outside world knows that the United States is only a glamorous appearance, as can be seen from the crashes in the United States over the years.
In addition, on more important fighter issues, such as the F-22 fifth-generation stealth fighter, a Pentagon official pointed out earlier that this fighter was put into service in the army in 2005, and it has persisted for too long. The US military is thinking about developing a sixth-generation aircraft, but it has not appeared until now, so the F-22 can only continue to serve in this case. Many people criticized military aircraft research and development companies for this reason, believing that their speed is too slow.
The U.S. military believes that too long service time is the "culprit" that causes frequent crashes of the U.S. Air Force.However, as far as the current development strategy of the United States is concerned, although the Air Force’s "plane crashing" accidents are frequent, military aircraft research and development companies are still conducting research and development of new advanced fighters as always.
