The Army used to be the main combat force, but the Gulf War in 1991 changed that perception. At that time, the United States used high-tech warfare to destroy Iraq's million-strong army, used electronic information warfare to sabotage Iraq's communications and radar early warning systems, and severely damaged Iraq's important ground targets and infrastructure through missile strikes. The U.S. Navy and Air Force also played an important role, demonstrating strong deterrence in the seas, which ultimately led to the defeat of the Iraqi army. The war completely changed people's perception of the way of warfare, and also triggered people's thinking about future wars. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the way of warfare is also changing dramatically. The traditional army combat mode can no longer meet the needs of modern warfare, and high-tech warfare has become the mainstream in today's world.
For example, in the Gulf War, the United States adopted the combat method of electronic information warfare, which directly undermined the Iraqi military's communications and radar early warning systems, making it impossible for the adversary to effectively command troops. In addition, the U.S. Navy and Air Force have played an important role, demonstrating strong deterrence in the sea area through carrier battle groups and air strike forces. All these have highlighted the advantages of high-tech warfare and provoked people to think deeply about the way of warfare in the future. High-tech warfare has not only changed the way warfare is conducted, but has also posed new challenges to military strength. In the Gulf War, the United States used advanced equipment and tactical means to launch a precision attack on Iraq and won a decisive victory. This shows that relying solely on large-scale army forces can no longer guarantee victory in wars, but requires more diversified military strength.
Future wars will pay more attention to informationization, precision, and rapid reaction capabilities, and this will put forward higher requirements for the modernization of all leading forces. In addition, high-tech warfare has also sparked discussions on military thinking and the morality of war. In the Gulf War, the United States quickly won the victory with advanced equipment and tactical means, but in the process, it also aroused questions and reflections on the way of warfare. People are beginning to wonder whether there are more moral and ethical issues hidden behind high-tech warfare, and the far-reaching impact of war on human society. These issues are of great significance to the development of future wars and changes in international relations.
To sum up, high-tech warfare has become the mainstream mode of warfare in the world today, which not only changes the perception of communication, but also poses new challenges to military strength, and at the same time triggers profound thinking about the morality of war and military thinking. Future wars will pay more attention to informationization, precision, and rapid reaction capabilities, which will put forward higher requirements for the modernization of all leading forces. Modern warfare is no longer a traditional confrontation, and the lessons of the Gulf War have made us realize that the development of military strength and the advancement of technological equipment are of utmost importance. In this war, the combat efficiency of the US military has been so high that it has given us a great shock. We can clearly see from this war that modern warfare has entered the information age, and the coordinated development of the army, navy, and air force cannot be ignored, and at the same time, the modernization and development of armaments and equipment is also of vital importance.
As a modern person, how should we look at this?First of all, the lessons of the Gulf War have made us clearly understand that the development of military strength is the cornerstone of military strength. Therefore, we must not only accelerate the modernization and transformation of the armed forces, but also make breakthroughs in the field of military equipment. The advanced equipment used by the United States during the war, such as F-117** fighters and B-2** bombers, has demonstrated strong combat capabilities. The combat effect of such modern equipment is undoubtedly a huge deterrent for our country. Second, the Gulf War also reminded us that modern warfare in the information age has become an all-round system operation. The forces of the army, navy, and air force have coordinated with each other to form a comprehensive military combat force.
We should no longer be satisfied with the development of our army strength, but should comprehensively strengthen the building of our navy and air force and form a system of military forces with all-round development. In addition, the Gulf War also taught us that the key to modern warfare is the comprehensive development of combat efficiency and combat system. In the Gulf War, the US military's combat efficiency was shocking, which shows that warfare in the information age is no longer a confrontation of hard confrontation, but a comparison of the comprehensive strength of technology, equipment, and combat systems. Therefore, China must speed up the research and development of military technology and equipment and improve the combat effectiveness and the overall strength of the combat system. Finally, we should also realize that the lessons of the Gulf War are a warning to us.
We need to continue to move forward on the road of military power, accelerate the modernization and transformation of the military, enhance independent research and development capabilities, and continuously improve military strength to ensure peace and stability. Generally speaking, the lessons of the Gulf War have sounded the alarm for us and made us clearly understand that the development of modern warfare has entered the information age, that the all-round development of the army, navy, and air force cannot be overlooked, and that the all-round development of combat efficiency and combat system is the key to modern warfare. As a modern person, how should we look at this and how to contribute to *** is a question that each of us should ponder.
