How can the United States "catch" China's hypersonic missiles?Reveal the latest plan!
Recently, there was a news that was really emotional to listen to, and it also made me more determined to support the country. Have you ever heard of hypersonic missiles?What was once considered an insurmountable technical hurdle has been a mouth-dropping lately. The United States is actually actively promoting a plan to intercept hypersonic **. This is simply a fire in the fire, and I can't help but ask, what should we do in China in the face of this situation?
First, let's look at the details of this plan that shocked the world. It is said that this *** can intercept a hypersonic warhead when it enters the portrait stage. It instantly reminded me of those high-tech scenes in the movie, as if I was in a science fiction world. And this plan requires the Missile Defense Agency to provide a hypersonic *** solution called GPI. It sounds like you're equipping a superhero with a new **, and you can't help but get excited.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, Congress actually approved an additional 2$2.5 billion in funding. This is really eye-catching, such an important plan, it is really willing to pay the cost. The plan provides for the achievement of initial operational capability by 2029 and full operational capability by 2032. The impetus behind this plan turned out to be an urgent concern about Chinese and Russian hypersonic missiles. Hmph, I don't know whether to laugh or be angry.
But how can we sit idly by?Hypersonic missiles were once considered almost impossible to intercept, but now that the United States has come up with such a problem, people have to re-examine the situation. It is said to be similar to the SM-3 Block IIA, which was developed by several companies in a competitive manner, and can fly at more than five times the speed of sound, and can also perform high-G maneuvers during the flight phase. This can't help but remind me of the superhero actions in the comics, which are simply a realistic version of science fiction.
But is it really that good?My guess is that the viability of this plan remains a mystery. On the one hand, the efforts of the United States show that they are seriously dealing with the potential threat of hypersonic missiles and hope to solve the security risks through technical means. But on the other hand, the peculiarities of hypersonic missiles make the interception mission extremely difficult. I can't help but wonder if this is another move by the United States to occupy the commanding heights in the arms race
The advancement of this plan seems to lead to the formation of initial combat effectiveness over the next decade, providing the United States with a new tool to defend against hypersonic missiles. But are hypersonic missiles really uninterceptable?In fact, not all hypersonic missiles are unstoppable. There are two main types of missiles, one is a hypersonic gliding missile and the other is an air-breathing hypersonic **. For the former, the ascent, middle and re-entry stages of its trajectory can be intercepted, for example, the US military's SM-3 missiles have demonstrated interception capabilities in these stages.
And for the latter, although it has higher maneuverability, there are still certain technical difficulties at the ** maneuvering point. After all, no matter how advanced technology is, it is difficult to do everything in the future. With the continuous development of technology, the interception of hypersonic missiles is not out of reach. However, different types of hypersonic missiles may require different means of interception. In this process, it is not only a technical challenge, but also a comprehensive upgrade of the missile warning system. No wonder the U.S. Air Force actually signed a $500 million contract to deploy six Epoch 1 satellites for the discovery of hypersonic gliding missiles. This shows that while intercepting missiles, the early warning system also needs to follow up synchronously to form a complete hypersonic missile defense system.
So, does it still make sense for China to develop hypersonic **?This is a question that requires serious consideration. In the global arms race, iterative updating of technology is always an inevitable trend. And hypersonic **, as a ** with huge strategic deterrence, still has a certain strategic value. However, in the face of the U.S. hypersonic missile defense program, China needs to pay more attention to technological innovation and upgrading to ensure its position in the arms race.
Overall, hypersonic missile interception is not a fantasy, but there are still many technical hurdles to overcome to achieve this goal. The US GPI*** program is a high-profile attempt, and its success will bring new variables to the future arms race. Both the United States and China need to increase investment in technological innovation and the construction of early warning systems to ensure national security and stability. In this hypersonic era, challenges and opportunities coexist, and only by keeping up with the trend of science and technology can we be invincible. Therefore, let us look forward to the future, the progress of science and technology, and the fact that China can be proud of the competition in this technological competition
