Shock! Recently, the armaments industry has been full of gunpowder, and the Japanese military magazine has revealed that they are brewing an arms research and development plan that will make the world look at it! After this **sex news came out, it was boiling on social **, and we couldn't help but **see how weird this is**.
Japan's Ministry of Defense wants to develop a hypersonic missile that can strike outside the defense zone, which sounds a bit like a plot in science fiction. There are two versions of this missile, alias Block 2A and Block 2B, which have different technical attributes and combat capabilities, which is simply a blessing for military fans.
Let's start with the Block 2A, which is designed to have a range of 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers and a flight speed of Mach 12, which can't help but evoke people's associations with future wars. But don't be fooled by appearances, compared to similar missiles, Block 2A is somewhat stretched in terms of precision strikes, and requires the coordination of unmanned aerial systems and ground guidance officers to ensure that the target is accurately hit. It feels a bit like the advanced ** in the movie, which requires advanced skills to hold.
However, don't underestimate Block 2B, it's a quantum leap! The range has been directly increased to 3,000 kilometers, and the flight speed is as high as Mach 17, which is simply the embodiment of the speed of sound. This leap in performance has led to a significant increase in the power range of Block 2B, which is within range of cities on China's eastern coast, such as Shanghai. This can't help but remind people of those tense and exciting military movies, as if you are in the battlefield of the future world.
This intent begs the question of what role Japan wants to play in the international security landscape. What exactly are their strategies for dealing with potential threats? Facing escalating tensions in the region, Japan appears intent on strengthening its deterrence and self-defense capabilities by upgrading its military strike capabilities. This begs the question, what kind of urgency and strategic considerations lie behind all this?
However, although this armament program has attracted widespread attention, the outside world is not optimistic about it. Since 2018, Japan has been developing hypersonics**, and even allocated funds specifically for the research and development of scramjet engines in fiscal 2019. However, this does not mean that everything is smooth sailing. When it comes to the research of hypersonic missiles, there is a huge technological gap between Japan and countries such as the United States, Russia, and China. Wind tunnel testing capacity can only reach Mach 10, while other countries have super wind tunnel capacity of up to Mach 30, which means that Japan still has a long way to go in terms of simulation and verification in terms of performance.
What's even more interesting is that, considering Japan's status as a defeated country in history, its development of hypersonic speed may not only be a technical challenge, but also likely to trigger uncertainty in regional security and trigger alertness and reaction from neighboring countries. Like the "Shinshin" fifth-generation aircraft promoted by Japan before, there are many cases of unsuccessful success. In view of some shortcomings in Japan's military technology, will this hypersonic missile program end in failure as a lesson from the past and become one of the hot topics in the industry?
All in all, the development of hypersonic ** is not only a technical contest, but also a major event related to strategic balance and regional stability. Japan's arms research and development program has attracted widespread attention, but whether it can achieve the desired results remains to be seen by time. Whatever the outcome, this will undoubtedly be a high-profile variable in the international security environment. Let's keep an eye on the latest developments on this topic and bring you more in-depth insights and exclusive perspectives. Let's witness this exciting time together!
