For nearly two years, U.S. support for Ukraine has weakened its plans to develop new equipment. The U.S. Department of Defense said that due to the depletion of funds to aid Ukraine, only $1 billion is left to replenish ** stocks, forcing the United States to choose between defense and the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin urged the budget department to increase funding at a congressional hearing, emphasizing that aid to Ukraine needs to be viewed separately from the U.S. itself's military development, and that the U.S. needs more R&D funding to deal with future enemies.
There are reports that the United States is developing three "futures**" to focus on dealing with strong enemies such as China and Russia. This includes the M10 Booker light tank, the XM30 infantry fighting vehicle, and the RCV robotic fighting vehicle, which are currently in advanced stages of development. The development of these ** is aimed at dealing with the rising power of China and Russia, and has become the focus of attention.
The M10 Booker tank is one of them, which breaks away from the traditional tank frame, adopts light armor and special protective alloy plates, carries a 105mm rifled gun, focuses on mobility and advanced perception systems, and is more like a combination of an infantry fighting vehicle and a tank.
The XM30 infantry fighting vehicle is expected to replace the aging M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle, armed with light machine guns and anti-tank guns, with a modular structure that enhances the ability to fire and destroy enemy forces. The RCV-Light robotic combat vehicle is used to perform dangerous tasks on the front line, replacing the traditional manpower reconnaissance vehicle and improving the efficiency of reconnaissance.
The report does not clearly explain how the new R&D ** has become a combat force that "focuses on dealing with China and Russia."
Some have suggested that the U.S. may be frustrated with new threats such as drones, traversers and missiles striking from the skies, which may be more of an emergency option than a real solution. There is speculation that the United States may use the opportunity to create a gimmick against China and Russia to obtain more funding. This has sparked questions and discussions on the US armament strategy.
