8 B-2 "Elephant Walk" The US strategic nuclear forces are not willing to be lonely

First, the US Navy released the movements of a number of Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines in a very rare succession, including the docking of the "West Virginia" at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean; The "Rhode Island" made an open visit to the British naval base in Gibraltar, while the "Michigan" sailed into the Okinawa naval base of the US military in Japan.

Then the US Air Force organized 8 B-2 stealth strategic bombers at Whiteman Air Force Base on the US mainland two days ago to perform an "elephant walk" on the airport runway.

It must be said that none of the above-mentioned actions of the US military have appeared before, which is worth paying attention to.

First, it is no exaggeration to say that these actions are abnormal. Let's just say that the US Navy announced the movements of these "Ohio"-class nuclear submarines. As a ballistic missile nuclear submarine, the most basic requirement is concealment, that is, the other party is not allowed to control its deployment and activity location, the more concealed, the stronger the strategic deterrent effect it produces.

This time, the US military took the initiative to announce the movements of strategic nuclear submarines, which is obviously contrary to conventional practice. And it is even more abnormal to announce three in a row.

Similarly, B-2 stealth bombers, usually see one or two are rare, this time there are as many as 8, too rare.

Second, abnormal actions send a strong signal of deterrence.

The strategic nuclear strike force of the US military is strong, and all parties are well aware. But by showing off its nuclear muscles so nakedly, the Americans are sending a tough signal.

This time, the three "Ohio"-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines of the US military appeared in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Each Ohio-class carries 24 Trident II submarine-launched ICBMs and more than 100 nuclear warheads, meaning that each Ohio-class is enough to destroy a medium-sized country. With such a scattered and extensive deployment, if an adversary wants to deal with and intercept warheads coming from all directions, east, west, south and north, or is there such a large number of nuclear warheads, no country has yet done so.

And this elephant walk of the B-2 stealth strategic bomber is even more obvious. The U.S. military currently has a total of 20 B-2s in active service, and 40% of the stealth bombers are used at one time to pose for POSE and show off muscles. The Air Force fighter engaged in the "elephant walk" to demonstrate rapid response and rapid sortie capabilities, and there were as many as eight stealth strategic bombers, which was an unprecedented deterrent signal to strategic opponents to the letter.

There is another signal that the US military has another new model of strategic killer to be unveiled in the past two days, that is, the B-21 stealth bomber, which is a replacement for the B-2. The US Air Force will order 100 in one go, which is 5 times more than the B-2. The US military should take it as the main force of the new generation of strategic nuclear threats, and at the same time take into account the task of tactical penetration strikes.

Previously, the B-2 stealth bombers were all half-covered with a pipa, but now eight B-2s are openly playing "elephant walk" at one time, while demonstrating realistic strategic deterrence, it is also sending a new warning to the opponent, that is, the new generation of deterrence capabilities of the US military is coming.

These unusual moves of the US military should be paid enough attention.
