AsU.S. militaryOne of the most important bases in the Western Pacific is being facedChinese missilesThe threat is growing. In recent years, China has made tremendous progress in the scale of missile technology and equipment, especially the various hypersonic missiles it has developed, which have made China's rocket force unique in the global missile field. Let'sU.S. militaryForConcerned about the security of the United States, they are aware of the United StatesAnti-missile systemIt may not be possible to reliably protect this important base.
It is understoodU.S. militaryRecently, the PLA has repeatedly emphasized the PLA's advanced ballistic missile and cruise missile pairsThe threat to the region is growing, and the call is for further intensificationof the defense. U.S. Department of DefenseIt was revealed that China test-fired in the first half of this yearDongfeng-27The hypersonic missile flew 2100 kilometers at a speed of more than Mach 10, which makes it the most powerful in the worldHypersonic**One. Military experts believe that the missile may have a range of between 5000-8000 kmPrecision guidancecapabilities, which can strike both maneuverable targets at sea and hard targets on land.
In addition, it is not optimistic,U.S. Air ForceThe building of strength is also facing great difficulties. The data shows thatU.S. militaryFighters owned by the Air Force andBombersThe number has been drastically reduced, and the proportion of aircraft that can perform missions is lower than it was during the Cold War. U.S. Air ForceAlso at an all-time low in terms of the level of armaments and combat units, they can no longer organize like ".Desert Storm"Such a large-scale military operation, let alone confrontation with an adversary like China.
in the faceChinese missilesAgainst the background of the threat,U.S. militaryThe plan is inDeploy more anti-missile defense systems, but this plan also bogged down. Due to financial constraints and delays in the development of equipment, the testing of a variety of missile defense systems, which were originally planned to be deployed in 2024, had to be postponed indefinitely. U.S. militaryA $1.5 billion grant from Congress is needed to move forward with testing and deployment, but approval is unknown.
This means,U.S. militaryhas always relied onAnti-missile systemUnable to keep up in terms of performance gains and deployment speedChinese missilesTechnology development and speed of deployment. WhileAs the most important military base at the core of the second island chain, its lack of defense capability will make it a key target for the PLA to strike. According to research estimates, by 2030, the PLA will have a long-range firepower delivery capability, which can be used every day at a distance of 2,800 kilometersDeliveryPrecision guidanceThe ammunition reached 3000 tons, which is equivalent toEach square kilometer is subject to 545 tonsPrecision guidanceAmmunition strikes. This strength difference distance letU.S. militaryRealize that they cannot be protected well by the superiority of the PLA in firepowerand military bases on the first and second island chains in the Western Pacific, not to mention relying onThe base has interfered in the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
In summary,Chinese missilesTechnological advancements as wellU.S. Air ForceThe decline of power makesThere is a growing threat. U.S. militaryThe plan is inMore anti-missile defense systems are deployed, but they are difficult to keep upChinese missilesTechnology development and speed of deployment. This makes the United States forand the protection of its military bases in the Asia-Pacific region has become difficult. In addition, the recent US military accidents in the Asia-Pacific region have also exposed the problem of its military strength, raising doubts about its ability to face the Chinese Air Force.
