The Rocket Army bombed the world!4,000 missile deterrence, ready to fight in seconds to become hardcore!
The Rocket Force shook the world!4,000 missiles are powerful in all directions, and the hard core power in the state of readiness is jaw-dropping. As a military international relations blogger, today we will take an in-depth look at the power of China's rocket forces and let us unravel this fascinating mystery of national defense.
First of all, we must make it clear that the United States' perception of China's rocket forces is not bragging. "In just 7 minutes, the Chinese Rocket Force will be able to destroy the command center of the US military in the Asia-Pacific region," they said. "It sounds like the plot of a Hollywood science fiction movie, but in fact, this is exactly the real impact of the construction and combat effectiveness of the Chinese rocket forces on the international stage.
The Rocket Force is not a fictitious deterrent, but a real force with more than 4000 missiles. This includes not only all types of missiles, from short-range to long-range, but also the level of their technology is constantly improving. China's rocket force is unusual, it is the only military branch in the world that uses missiles as its main equipment, and it can be described as a "sharp weapon of the country," and even the United States is afraid of it. So, once it enters the first level of combat readiness, how fierce is this rocket army?Can it really hit the world?
To answer this question, let's go back in time. China's national defense construction has been gradually strengthened, and the predecessor of the Rocket Force was the Second Artillery Corps, which was established in the sixties of the last century. At that time, they played a crucial role during the Taiwan Missile Crisis, not only demonstrating strong military capabilities, but also laying the foundation for the later construction of the Rocket Force. Over the decades, this army has undergone many reforms and developments, and finally changed its name to the Chinese People's Liberation Army Rocket Force on December 31, 2015, becoming the fourth national-level core armed force established for the first time in New China.
The development of the Chinese Rocket Forces does not stop there. Through continuous improvement and research and development of new missile technology, as well as the improvement and establishment of its own combat system and procedures, the Rocket Force has initially established a three-in-one nuclear strike capability consisting of intercontinental ballistic missiles, ballistic missile submarines, and strategic bombers. This undoubtedly provides strong support for China's strategic deterrence.
According to incomplete statistics, the Rocket Forces have at least 26 missile brigades, each of which has hundreds of missiles on standby. This means that the Chinese Rocket Forces have a huge arsenal of missiles and can choose different missiles to attack according to their needs. More importantly, the Rocket Forces not only possess a large number of land-based missiles, but have also made great strides in the sea-based and air-based fields. The emergence of the Dongfeng series of missiles has formed a long-range, medium- and short-range integrated strike system, which has greatly improved China's ability to accurately strike at enemy targets. In recent years, new missiles such as the Dongfeng-16 and Dongfeng-17 have become more advanced in performance and difficult to intercept, thus making the combat system of the rocket force more perfect.
However, to understand the true strength of the Rocket Forces, we must analyze in depth their specific missiles. First of all, the Dongfeng-5B ICBM system is noticeable. This is a large strategic missile capable of hitting targets at a distance of 15000 km. In peacetime, in order to protect the safety of equipment and personnel, the system is not constantly refueled. But in the event of an emergency, liquid fuel filling is carried out quickly and is ready for launch. This also raises the curiosity: why not load the fuel in advance?It turns out that the fuel of the Dongfeng-5B is toxic and strongly corrosive, and the slightest carelessness will make the missile scrapped. Therefore, the Rocket Forces load fuel only when it is needed. According to the parade data, each DF-5B can carry seven hydrogen warheads with a 600,000-ton TNT equivalent, which is enough to attack targets more than 10,000 kilometers away from the mainland, with extremely high accuracy.
The DF-5B is feared not only by its ultra-long range, but also by its amazing precision strike capability. One missile is enough to completely destroy an area, and even using just one of them is enough to set the adversary back decades of development.
In addition to intercontinental missiles, the Rocket Forces have 26 missile brigades with more than 4000 missiles in combat readiness. This includes the DF-21D, known as the "aircraft carrier killer". Its range of 5,000 km, combined with a flight speed of up to Mach 18, makes it possible for the air defense systems of no country to intercept them. Even if the enemy tries to intercept in the middle course, the DF-21D is designed with this in mind, maintaining flexibility and making the enemy's midcourse anti-missile ineffective.
Next, let's focus on China's proud strategic heavyweight, the DF-41. This is a more advanced intercontinental missile with a range of up to 14,000 km. With solid fuel, once the army is put into combat readiness, it is necessary to quickly evacuate the base and get to the set position. Although there are relatively small numbers, the use of this type of nuclear ** makes it possible to achieve highly effective precision strikes while destroying vital infrastructure. Compared with the DF-5B, although the range is shorter, the DF-41 is more superior, and it is able to effectively target the enemy's important cities and achieve unreachable strikes.
In addition, the rocket forces also have Dongfeng-10 cruise missiles, as well as Dongfeng-100, which can reach a speed of about Mach 4, which makes up for the shortcomings of the Dongfeng-10's slow speed. The DF-10 carries most of the heavy-duty ** that the Dongfeng series cannot achieve, and has a considerable devastating effect. The combination of these two missiles in a war can bring unexpected results. In addition, there are a number of missiles such as the DF-25, DF-17 and DF-31, each of which has specific strategic significance.
Once the Chinese Rocket Forces enter the first level of combat readiness, no matter where the enemy is, it will not be able to avoid huge blows and losses. These 26 missile brigades will be on 24-hour standby, and both major cities and core military bases will be devastated. So, under what circumstances will our country activate the first level of combat readiness?How terrifying is the first level of combat readiness?
In our country, combat readiness level 1 is the highest level of readiness, which is usually activated only in tense and dangerous situations. Once in this state, the state apparatus will be running at full speed, with all resources and forces concentrated to ensure that the *** army is quickly put on high alert, increasing the number of personnel, and maintaining sufficient forces and reserves. ** Equipment will be strengthened, strategic defense will be upgraded, and communication systems and technical reconnaissance means will be improved.
The impact of the first level of combat readiness on social life cannot be ignored. Transportation facilities may be prioritized for military use, communication networks may be affected, and public infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, etc. may also be suspended. This requires people to maintain a high degree of vigilance and self-management in their daily lives to ensure social stability and the maintenance of order in people's lives.
In general, combat readiness level 1 is a defensive strategy aimed at protecting against external threats and maintaining peace and stability in the country. Although the Chinese Rocket Force is strong, the first level of combat readiness does not mean that the country will easily start a war. The use of military force to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity will be considered only in extreme cases.
Through this in-depth analysis, we not only got a glimpse of the strong strength of the Chinese Rocket Force, but also learned about the various measures taken by the state in the first level of combat readiness. The hard power of the Rocket Force is remarkable, and the country's defensive strategy is even more sensible. This is not only a deepening of military international relations, but also a profound understanding of China's national defense.
