In recent years, the equipment of the PLA has changed with each passing day, and the level of national defense modernization has become higher and higher, and then some people are in a hurry. U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall recently announced a plan with a high-end name called "Comprehensive Reform Program"; According to him, the plan includes more than two dozen measures, each of which is aimed at China to ensure that the US military can "defeat China" and even bluntly declare that it can ensure the "sustainable hegemony" of the United States.
Judging from the contents of the documents released by the US military, these measures are divided into four categories: talent strategy, war preparation, military power projection, and capability improvement. The U.S. Air Force said it was "one of the most extensive realignment programs" for the U.S. Air Force in modern times. In an effort to persuade Congress to agree to the plan, Kendall said in a statement that the U.S. military was running out of time now and would either approve the reforms immediately or wait to fall behind in the great power competition.
Kendall has been full of malice towards China since he came to power. In September last year, he shouted that the US Air Force needed to be reformed, with only one purpose, that is, to "deter and defeat China"; He also particularly admired the B-21 bomber that was tested not long ago, claiming that it "can make China feel fear," and said that as long as he buys more than 300 planes, he can ensure the US military's "absolute technological superiority for several decades." It can be seen that this person is full of dealing with "China," vainly hoping to restore the "position of strength" of the US military at the moment of unipolarity, and even wants the United States to "dominate forever."
With such a major adjustment, I feel that the US military wants to practice the "Sunflower Treasure Book" and cut off its own roots, just to practice "peerless magic skills" and become the No. 1 in the rivers and lakes. So, why is the US military launching such a program now? The first is to ask for money. According to the US military, this plan is equivalent to "reorganizing the US Air Force", no matter how much exaggeration this statement has, but the money to be spent must be very exaggerated, so the first problem to be solved is "money". For the sake of money, Kendall is willing to say anything, coupled with the wealth password attribute of "China", he will naturally stare at China.
However, we should pay attention to the fact that the US military does regard us as its biggest adversary, and it does find ways to re-establish its "absolute military superiority" over us.
Our ability to modernize our national defense has indeed developed to the point where it worries the US military. At this point, we don't need to be presumptuous. Just some time ago, the official ** concentrated on reporting on the "Wang Hai Brigade" of the Air Force Aviation Unit of the Eastern Theater Theater, and introduced the use of J-20 fighters by the unit to carry out combat missions. From the report, we can see that our army has explored a new combat system of "fifth-generation aircraft with fourth-generation or four-and-a-half-generation fighters," which has greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Judging from the information circulating on the Internet, the "complete body" J-20 equipped with the domestic "turbofan-15" engine has appeared, and the two-seat improved J-20 that can form a combat system with loyal wingmen has also appeared, which shows that we are digging deep into the combat potential of the J-20, which not only shows that the technology of the J-20 is becoming more and more mature, but also proves that we have a considerable degree of experience and experience in the use of fifth-generation aircraft.
In other words, in the face of the PLA, the US military must be prepared to fight under the same technical conditions, and the kind of dimensionality reduction strikes against small countries will not work in the face of China.
On this earth, there are still places where the US Air Force cannot run amok and be domineering, which is simply a big rebellion in the eyes of Washington. So Kendall used China as a "gimmick" and hyped up the "threat theory" and "fatalism" in an attempt to extort a sum of money from Congress, which led to the aforementioned "comprehensive reform plan".
But will this plan come to fruition? Considering this plan, the degree of occupation of military spending, and the situation of the US military's "military reform" since Rumsfeld, it will eventually become a toddler in Handan. Therefore, it is difficult for us to say the results of this reform of the US military, but one thing is certain: No matter how much the US military "reforms," it will not be able to return to its previous "dominant position," let alone form an "absolute technological superiority" over China.
As long as we follow the right path, it must be the United States itself that narrows the road in the end.
