The U.S. Navy has previously deployed three aircraft carriers on China's doorstep, including the LINCOLN, the two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers Ronald Reagan, and the amphibious assault ship Tripoli, because the Tripoli amphibious assault ship now plays the role of a quasi-aircraft carrier, so it can also be regarded as an aircraft carrier, but at the critical moment when the RIMPAC is about to begin, the LINCOLN nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has already gone to the eastern Pacific. According to the plan, a large number of surface ships such as the NUCLEAR-powered aircraft carrier Lincoln and the USS Essex amphibious assault ship will be put into the RIMPAC exercise as the US troops participating in the exercise, in addition to a large number of US allies, especially Japan, Australia, and South Korea in the Asia-Pacific region, have also devoted their forces to cooperate with the US RIMPAC exercise.
It is understood that on June 29, the United States conducted a test launch of hypersonic missiles near Hawaii, according to the United States, when the United States used a Virginia-class submarine to conduct a gliding ballistic missile test, and this ballistic missile is also a hypersonic missile, and in the process of conducting a hypersonic missile test, because the engine of the missile was abnormal, it was not successful. It can be seen that the number of failures of the United States in the process of testing hypersonic missiles is much higher than the number of successes, which also means that the United States still has a long way to go in the field of hypersonic weapons, but China, Russia, and North Korea already have powerful hypersonic weapons.
At present, the United States wants to show hypersonic missiles in front of all its allies has become a joke, because at the critical moment of the test firing of hypersonic missiles in Hawaii, the United States allies, including Japan, have arrived in the exercise, so the united States' strength show has become a disgrace, and even this time it shows that the field of hypersonic weapons is a huge gap with China, Russia, and North Korea, and russia has put the dagger hypersonic missile into the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. And the dagger hypersonic missile has never missed a hand in the process of attacking Ukrainian targets.
After entering 2022, North Korea is also carrying out intensive missile tests, for which the United States has repeatedly mobilized RC-135S Cobra ball missile observation aircraft to the Northeast Asian peninsula for close reconnaissance operations, it is understood that in May this year, North Korea has carried out the test launch of the Mars 8 hypersonic missile, when the flight speed of the Mars 8 hypersonic missile reached a full Mach 11, which also shows that the Mars 8 hypersonic missile has the strength, but in China, Russia, At the critical moment when north Korea's three countries showed hypersonic missiles, the United States did not have any air defense weapons to intercept them.
Zhan Yan believes that at the critical moment when the United States is pointing at China, Russia, and North Korea, the failure of another test launch of hypersonic missiles will also make competitors laugh, and before the failure of the U.S. hypersonic missile test, the Chinese minister of defense has clearly pointed out at the "Shangri-La Dialogue" that all the weapons and equipment unveiled by the Chinese People's Liberation Army at the 2019 National Day parade are officially installed, which also includes the Dongfeng 17 hypersonic missile.
