Recently, by the Yemeni HouthisArmedThe launch of the "ship raid war" caused great concern and concern in the Red Sea region. The focus of the controversy has gradually shifted from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the Red SeaInternationalon the waters. HouthisArmedClaiming to prevent the passage of Israeli and its supporters' merchant ships through the Red Sea, forInternationaland the safety of oil and gas transportation poses a huge threat.
The Red Sea region is one of the world's most important sea lanes, connecting Asia, Africa and Europe, with frequent commercial vessels. And yet the HouthisArmedHowever, the attacks have posed a huge challenge to the security and stability of the region. To this end, the United States urgently deployed two "Bogram "level drive."Ship by ship, to guaranteeInternationalShippingsecurity.
U.S. militaryThe "Uncle."gram "level drive."Ship-by-ship showed great combat effectiveness in the Red Sea region, shooting down the Houthis in successionArmedof 38 aircraftDrones, demonstrating his dominance at sea. However, it is undeniable that this battle is rightU.S. militaryThe consumption is enormous. Because of the HouthisArmedThe launch used the suicide typeDronesThe cost is extremely low, whileU.S. militaryInterception with ** anti-aircraft missiles led to a serious asymmetry in combat costs.
HouthisArmedof suicidalDronesThe cost is only about $2000, whileU.S. militaryInterception is required with an SM-2 "Standard" anti-aircraft missile of up to $2.1 million. Just intercepting 38 targets consumed nearly $80 million in military spending, which made itU.S. militaryOverwhelmed, it is difficult to continue fighting.
In response to the HouthisArmedThe United States announced the formation of a "convoy coalition", hoping to bring together a wide range of attacksInternationalforces to contain the HouthisArmed。However, in the face of the HouthisArmedPersistent threats, the world's top fiveShippingFour of the companies have declared the Red Sea a no-sail zone, asking their merchant ships to avoid the area. This means that even if the "escort alliance" is formed, there will be almost no merchant ships that need to be escorted, making this US move meaningless.
Despite the HouthisArmedAttacks on merchant ships have received widespread global attention, but China's COSCO merchant ships have been able toPeaceThrough the Red Sea. with othersShippingThe company is different, COSCO's merchant ships are in the HouthisArmedAfter launching the "Ship Raid Battle", normal navigation was still maintained. What is striking is that the Chinese merchant ship was named ".Milky WayIt reminds people of a scene 30 years ago. At the turn of the century, a ship named ".Milky WayThe Chinese merchant ship was unjustifiably seized by the United States in the Arabian Sea, and the two sides engaged in a fierce standoff. And now, when merchant ships of other countries are banned from sailing in the Red Sea, this one "Milky Way"But it successfully passed through the blockade of the sea. Although".Milky Way"It may be different from the boats of that year, but it can't help but make people sigh: time has passed, thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river!
HouthisArmedThe purpose of launching the "ship raid war" was not unreasonable, but clearPoliticsDemands. HouthisArmedSenior** means as long as Israel stopsMilitaryand allow humanitarian supplies to enter the Gaza Strip, and they will stop their attacks on ships. From an objective point of view, HouthisArmedThe request is not excessive, after all, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has aroused the concern of Arabs around the world. However, countries such as the United States are clearly biased in favor of Israel and towards the HouthisArmedhas not been seriously considered, and this has become a key factor in Israel's arrogant actions in Gaza. HouthisArmedThe "ship raids" launched became the only way to get Western countries to pay real attention to Gaza and support Hamas.
However, the United States can solve this problem by not spending huge amounts of military spending. As long as we abandon our partiality with Israel, push for a ceasefire between Israel and Palestine and resume humanitarian assistance to Gaza, we can put an end to this "ship war". However, the arrogance of the United States makes them reluctant to negotiate terms with the Houthis, and they can only intercept cheap ones with expensive missilesDronesand put their allies in trouble.
In a word, the "ship raid war" in the Red Sea willInternationalShippingSecurity is on the global agenda. The actions of the United States and other countries show their commitment to the HouthisArmedbut faced with the cost of combat and the risk options of merchant ships, a smarter and more balanced approach is needed to address the issue. Respect the political demands of the Houthis and resolve them through peaceful meansIsraeli-Palestinian conflictOnly then can we truly achieve regional stability andInternationalShippingsecurity.
