China and the United States are in a multi-domain game, and the undercurrent has surged in the past 2021, and after China determined the superiority of hypersonic missiles, the United States was determined to catch up with China. The reason why the United States is desperately trying to develop a high-quality missile is simple, because the high-quality missile can easily penetrate the ballistic missile defense system. The People's Liberation Army publicly demonstrated the Dongfeng 17 hypersonic missile in 2019, while the US hypersonic bomb has not been tested successfully so far, and it has experienced an embarrassing "three consecutive defeats" in 2021. The so-called hypersonic missiles refer to missile weapons that can carry out irregular maneuvering flight in the atmosphere, and only China and Russia are currently proficient in hypersonic missile technology.
After China's public debut, the United States began to develop the AGM-183 high-quality bomb, but the successive failures have frustrated the United States, and recently US Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall admitted that the United States does not need to reproduce (mirror) China. The development of hypersonic missiles requires a solid foundation, and the United States' hypersonic bombs were only developed under the stimulation of China, in order to catch up with China. For the repeated failures of the AGM-183 high-speed missile experiment, the United States did not publish the relevant details.
In response to the "three consecutive defeats" of the United States in the field of hypersonic bombs, US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said at a security discussion meeting that hypersonic missiles have extremely high costs, and also blamed the Development of Hypersonic missiles on the Trump administration. Frank Kendall said that the U.S. military wants to develop a weapon system suitable for the U.S. military, not necessarily hypersonic missiles. 202201299/Aviation Horizon/AZ, this time the US Secretary of the Air Force also openly admitted that China's hypersonic missiles can establish a deterrent to the first island chain and Guam, which is equivalent to acknowledging that the US air defense and anti-missile system cannot counter the attack of the PLA's hypersonic missiles.
The United States today is rather embarrassed because just before the U.S. Secretary of The Air Force made his statement, there was already a third country that had tested hypersonic missiles, and it was a Northeast Asian country under long-term U.S. sanctions. The United States has the most advanced science and technology in the world, but it is often planted in the field of hypersonic missiles, and the myth of the United States is constantly being destroyed. For a long time in the past, hypersonic missiles were an important "excuse" for the United States to play up the "Chinese military threat", but today's US Secretary of the Air Force has stated that the United States does not necessarily develop hypersonic missiles, but the United States does not have the corresponding countermeasures, so it is quite contradictory.
The successive test firing failures of the U.S. AGM-183 superb bomb have made the United States very frustrated, and the US Secretary of the Air Force has bowed his head this time is also quite contradictory, because for a long time the United States has adopted a "high and mighty" posture, but this time it is the initiative to bow its head, so it is also quite weird, in fact, even if the United States does not have advantages in some fields, it will still pretend to be powerful, but now the United States does not even install it. In fact, today's United States has long lost its former sharp edge, because with the outward migration of The American manufacturing industry, the United States' scientific and technological innovation ability is also declining, this trend is difficult to change, and now the American society is still in a serious division.
