Shock! In the fierce game between China and the United States, the movement of a US B-52H strategic bomber has once again attracted widespread attention from the outside world. This time, the fighter plane landed at Andersen Air Force Base, and what is even more remarkable is that it actually carried AGM-183A hypersonic missiles! After this news came out, it was like a bombshell, which instantly caused an uproar in military circles.
The AGM-183A, a once-high-profile hypersonic missile, suffered a setback from failure and was even considered abandonment by the US Air Force. However, now this missile has reappeared in people's field of vision, mounted on the B-52H fighter, which has sparked endless speculation and heated discussions.
Why did the US Air Force bring the AGM-183A to ** so suddenly? Does it mean that this missile has finally overcome the previous technical difficulties and is about to be deployed in actual combat? Or is it just an elaborate information war in order to demonstrate the technological prowess of the US military to China and Russia?
The performance of the AGM-183A is said to be comparable to that of its counterparts in China and Russia, with a maximum penetration speed of Mach 15 and a very small warhead for a huge lethal effect. If this news is true, then the power of the AGM-183A may be beyond imagination, and it is even possible to surpass the "Dongfeng-17" ballistic missiles of the People's Liberation Army!
However, military experts remind us that this indication alone is not enough to judge the success of AGM-183A. Perhaps this is just a tactical move by the US military to counter pressure from China and Russia. After all, there is still a huge gap between the United States and China and Russia in the field of hypersonics, and even the United States itself has to admit this.
The U.S. military has many hypersonic projects, and it seems that they want to bet on many sides to try to make up for the lack of technology. However, this does not change the fact that in the field of hypersonics, the United States is still lagging behind China, and this is an undeniable reality.
Regardless of the final outcome of the AGM-183A, this incident once again highlights the fierceness of competition between China and the United States in the military-technical field. Both sides are constantly working hard to get a technological lead, and this contest may be just the tip of the iceberg. In the future, who will dominate the battlefield of the hypersonic era remains to be tested by time.
