It is no secret that the United States faces a serious threat from Chinese missiles. China's increasingly advanced missile technology, especially the rise of hypersonic missiles, has put enormous pressure on the US anti-missile system. Recently, the United States has frequently issued warnings to the outside world, saying that China's advanced ballistic missiles and cruise missiles pose a growing threat to the region, and the US military needs to further strengthen its defenses. According to reports, the US military's ** missile defense program is currently in trouble, and many defense equipment is difficult to deliver on schedule, and there is also the problem of being unable to effectively counter the Chinese missile threat. The main reason for such tension in the US military is the rapid development of China's missile technology.
According to intelligence documents revealed by the Pentagon, China tested the Dongfeng-27 hypersonic speed in the first half of this year, and the missile flew at a speed of nearly Mach 10 and has a strong penetration capability. According to the analysis of Chris Osborne, a military expert of the famous American military ** "1945", the range of this missile may be between 5,000-8,000 kilometers, and it can hit sea mobile targets and land hard targets thousands of kilometers away. In addition to the missile threat, the weakening of the US Air Force has also made the US military anxious.
The National Interest reveals worrying data: the number of fighter jets and strategic bombers owned by the US Air Force has decreased significantly, while the number of aircraft that can carry out missions is also declining. This means that the United States faces an even more difficult situation when dealing with the challenges of the Far East. In the face of these challenges, the United States needs to take a hard look at its current military strategy and act accordingly. First, the United States needs to increase its investment in defense to ensure that it has sufficient response capabilities in the face of missile threats. Second, the United States should speed up the research and development and updating of military technology and enhance its military strength in order to safeguard its strategic interests in the Far East.
Finally, the United States should also actively seek cooperation with other countries to jointly defend against challenges from potential hostile forces such as China. Despite the difficulties, the United States has strong strength and rich experience, and we believe that they can effectively deal with the current challenges and ensure the security of the region. At the same time, we also hope that all parties can jointly safeguard regional peace and stability through dialogue and cooperation. At present, the US Air Force is facing serious challenges, its strength is no longer 32% of that of the Cold War, and it is even more unable to organize effective military operations against an adversary like China.
Even the U.S. Air Force, which has a "super-army", has frequent accidents in several areas, showing the inadequacy of its strength. In the Asia-Pacific region, the crash of US Air Force planes has become almost commonplace, which not only exposes the madness of the United States to contain China, but also highlights the decline of US air power. The U.S. Air Force will face many difficulties in dealing with the Chinese Air Force, and how can its military bases in the Asia-Pacific region be protected?Perhaps the US anti-missile system is a way out, but its performance improvement and deployment speed have not kept up with the development of China's missile technology.
In the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, the position of the United States is crucial, and how to deal with the challenge of the increasingly powerful Chinese Air Force will be a major issue for the United States. In the face of the threat of Chinese missiles, more advanced anti-missile defense systems are needed for deployment. As the US "Defense News" recently admitted that the US military's plan to deploy more anti-missile defense systems in ** is in trouble, due to financial constraints and delays in equipment development, the test work of a variety of missile defense systems that the US military originally planned to deploy in 2024 has been postponed indefinitely. The United States has been forced to postpone the deployment of missile defense even at the most critical nodes of the island chain, not to mention other military bases in the Asia-Pacific region.
In recent years, the United States has actively sought dialogue with China in the field of security, which is actually a manifestation of the weakness of being a thief. According to the article "Defending", it is speculated that the PLA will have a strong firepower projection capability by 2030, and it can deliver an average of 3,000 tons of precision-guided munitions per day to 2,800 kilometers away, which is equivalent to the PLA being able to raze the ground in one day and completely destroy the target. This kind of disparity in strength is desperate, and it makes the US military realize that the US military cannot hold the US military base in the first and second island chains in the western Pacific under the overwhelming firepower projection advantage of the PLA, let alone rely on the first base to interfere in the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
In such a situation, how to deal with the threat of missiles from China?Deploying more advanced anti-missile defense systems is an option, but it also needs to face practical problems such as financial constraints and delays in equipment development. The United States and the military need to carefully assess the current situation and what may happen in the future, and take practical and effective measures to ensure the security of ** and the surrounding area. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen cooperation with allies to jointly respond to threats from China and other countries and ensure regional peace and stability.
