In this issue, I want to talk to you about Iran's tricks.
Speaking of the recent Red Sea incident, I believe everyone should be familiar with it. After all, the US military still did not dare to fight, and formed a multinational fleet to prepare to escort merchant ships in the Red Sea.
Originally, the United States was going to pull 39 countries;But unexpectedly, many countries did not buy it, and in the end only formed a "10-nation coalition". But in any case, the coalition was finally formed. The United States is full of ambition and thinks that next, it is time to have a good fight with the Houthis.
However, before the 10-nation coalition could make a move, the United States poured cold water on them first. What the hell is going on here?Could it be that even the United States itself is not optimistic about this operation?
Actually, it's true. As for the formation of a joint fleet by the United States and the escort of ships in the Red Sea, American experts ** are all very skeptical, how effective this is;Moreover, they also give good reasons.
They did not talk about the strength of the US military in the Middle East and whether it could win against the Houthis;Nor did he talk about the global strategy of the United States, whether it should fight the Houthis. They only said one thing, the Houthi suicide drones, up to $2,000;And the US military shot them down, and the missiles used cost an average of $2 million each.
In this way, one fight, one loses;Hit ten, lose two M1 main battle tanks;If you fight a hundred, it is equivalent to a loss, one F-22 fighter. No matter how big the United States is, it will not be able to bear such losses.
Take the experience of the US military in the Red Sea during this time.
In the past 2 months, a total of 38 Houthi drones have been knocked out in the Red Sea. Although the Pentagon did not say, what ** they used to beat down. But the Americans took stock and found that there was only one **, the most suitable and most likely, the "Standard-2" medium-range anti-aircraft missile.
And how much is this missile?The latest one, $2.1 million a piece. According to this calculation, in the past two months, the US military has lost tens of millions of dollars just by fighting Houthi drones, and half of the F-22 is smaller.
In short, in other words, it is still a matter of money, and the cost to be paid by the US military is too high to be cost-effective.
And this reminds me of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In the second half of last year, with the vigorous assistance of the United States and the West, the Ukrainian army was equipped with a lot of advanced Western **, and it was overwhelming on the battlefield** action, the Russian army was defeated and retreated.
It was at this time that Iran sent a large number of cheap drones. The Russian army used these drones to carry out suicide attacks, which instantly recovered the decline on the battlefield. Even, it has changed the situation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the understanding of the way of war in all countries of the world.
Now, the battlefield has returned to the Middle East, and the Iranian-backed Houthis have used the same trick to teach the United States a hard lesson. But the United States, there is really no way to use this trick.
Moreover, even if the United States wants to learn this trick, it can't do it at all, because their own military enterprises are all private enterprises, and the cost of manufacturing first-class equipment has always been high. Let them open a separate production line and make cheap drones, and if they can't make money, they won't be willing to do it at all.
And what happened in Russia, Ukraine, northern Myanmar, and the Red Sea this time tells us again and again how big cheap drones have changed the war situation. China should also study hard, and if China and the United States really meet each other in the future, we can be more fully prepared.
Based on this copy, help me write a 4-line poem with seven rules as an ending.
As the saying goes: the Red Sea war is reflected in the sky, and no one tactics show their majesty. Iran has repeatedly defeated the enemy with high-level tactics, and China has learned from it to prevent any eventuality.
