Recently, the world has been paying attention to a series of incidents in the US military. In the Asia-Pacific region, the US military planned to deploy medium-range missiles, but at the same time, the F16 fighter jet of the US military stationed in South Korea crashed unexpectedly. What is even more surprising is that the United States has invariably reported on this matter, revealing the difficulties of the US military in terms of defense. So, what exactly is the truth?First of all, the news about the crash of the F16 fighter jet of the US military stationed in South Korea was first disclosed by South Korea. According to Yonhap News Agency, citing South Korean sources, an F16 fighter jet of the US military stationed in South Korea crashed in flight, and the pilot successfully parachuted to escape. This incident has caused a great shock within the US military stationed in South Korea, because in the military confrontation against the DPRK, the US air force has always been regarded as a force with important superiority. However, the occurrence of this incident directly shook the military strength of the US military stationed in South Korea. In wartime, if similar failures occur frequently and the causes are difficult to ascertain, it will seriously affect the combat capability of the US military.
Taking into account the wide range of F16 fighters in the US and South Korean air forces, the US Air Force and the South Korean Air Force have more than 1200 and dozens of F16s, respectively. It is worth noting that this is not the first time that F16 fighter jets have crashed, as there have been previous reports of crashes of American F16 fighters. These incidents have exposed a problem: the U.S. Air Force is not as strong as the outside world thinks. However, the crash of the F16 fighter does not alone prove the problem of the strength of the US Air Force. However, if we combine it with other similar accidents, we will find that the strength of the US Air Force is not as strong as it claims to be "invincible". For example, the recent failure of the American Osprey in Japan has aroused the attention and questions of the Japanese authorities. Although the Japanese authorities demanded a reasonable explanation from the United States, the US military failed to provide a convincing answer. In the end, the *** of the US military stationed in Japan had to announce the grounding. These incidents have undoubtedly revealed to the outside world some weaknesses in the strength of the United States.
While this does not mean that the U.S. Air Force is "not strong," these incidents serve as a reminder that any potential pitfalls should not be taken lightly. In today's world situation, the stability and reliability of all major forces are of paramount importance. What is the impact of the Osprey *** grounding on the US military?The grounding of the US Osprey*** means that there is a large gap in logistics supplies, and the air transport capacity has been severely hit. This has had a disastrous impact on the US military stationed in Japan and the US military stationed in South Korea. At present, not only the F16 crashes on the front line are frequent, but also the Osprey *** in the rear has also crashed one after another. This series of incidents shows that the US side is currently facing a serious shortage of supplies and insufficient logistical support. Due to the continued downturn in the US economy, the United States is no longer able to support its huge standing military forces, and can only rely on nuclear strike forces to maintain its military superiority. Today, in addition to strategic bombers and naval aircraft carriers, other conventional military forces are gradually being overtaken by other countries.
In the face of this current situation, the United States believes that it is necessary to remind the White House and the Pentagon that it hopes that the US military can face up to the problem and not indulge in the illusory dream of "being the best in the world". In addition, the United States said bluntly that it is difficult for the US military to hold. Defense News pointed out that the U.S. military's defense plan is in trouble, exposing a series of Achilles' heels, indicating that the U.S. military is no longer an invincible presence during the Gulf War. **Defensive dilemmas include delays in the deployment of integrated anti-missile systems, failure to meet the deadline for radar equipment, and delays in the delivery of medium-range missile systems with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers. These circumstances show that the US military is facing many challenges and is no longer the invincible division of the past. The latest news shows that the delivery time of the Typhon system from the US side may be delayed. Defense News reported that this was because the radar systems scheduled for delivery were not completed on time, resulting in the inability to guarantee effective monitoring and defense against enemy drones and cruise missiles.
Due to the lack of effective means of defense, the Typhon system can become an easy target for enemy missiles in wartime. At present, the US military can only deploy old-fashioned anti-missile systems, such as THAAD and Patriot, in the ** region. However, potential adversaries in the United States have developed advanced hypervelocity missiles, such as Russia's Dagger and Zircon hypervelocity missiles, and North Korea's Hwasong-12 hypervelocity missile. The threat of these missiles has a direct impact on the defense of the ** base. The report of "Defense News" bluntly pointed out that the US military is facing serious difficulties, suggesting that the defense situation of ** is grim. If the enemy launches a joint attack with medium and long-range missiles, bombers and UAVs, the loss of ** will become inevitable. This may be a reminder to the US side that the global strategic deployment is not perfect, and there are loopholes in the deployment of the US military at key bases. The recent F16 crash and Osprey crash have further highlighted the plight of the United States.
These events undoubtedly hint at the gradual faltering status of the "number one military power". The era of US hegemony is passing, and the future will be an era of cooperation and coexistence of strength. It is only a matter of time before the United States is reduced to a regional military power. [Welcome to contribute, private messages must be replied].
