In the long war, the Russian-Ukrainian war continues, and although Russia has been weakened in the war, its strategic nuclear forces remain unabated, which is the key to the West's hesitation. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, wrote on his Telegram that the Russian army is both repelling a "counteroffensive" and preventing a global conflict, because its government may have to rely on nuclear weapons if Russia loses part of its territory. This implies that Russia has always regarded nuclear weapons as an option, and that if the West provokes a war, Russia's nuclear threat is likely to be aimed at Western countries. Recently, Russia has deployed a large number of Tu-160 strategic bombers in the Far East, apparently sending warning signals to the United States, Japan and South Korea. The joint Sino-Russian cruise of warships in the western Pacific is also intended to warn the United States, Japan and South Korea not to act stupidly, especially against North Korea.
The United States, on the other hand, is still tough and aggressive in the western Pacific and constantly holds military exercises. Recently, the United States, Japan and South Korea conducted military exercises in the Sea of Japan east of the Korean Peninsula, and the United States even used attack nuclear submarines to try to normalize the display of nuclear submarines in South Korea to put pressure on China and Russia. In addition, the 30,000-person military exercise led by the United States and Australia from 13 countries is also continuing, and although a helicopter accident slightly affected the progress of the exercise, it is still regarded as a strategic layout aimed at China. Obviously, the Indo-Pacific strategy created by the United States is aimed at firmly encircling China.
The website of the U.S. Naval Institute revealed that the seven U.S. fleets will fully participate in a military exercise of unprecedented scale, becoming the largest in the United States in 40 years. This unexpected move greatly exceeded external expectations. After all, the six major fleets control every sea area of the world, making it unmatched by any country. Although the Tenth Fleet is an information combat force and has no physical warships, it has shown good strength in battle, and its deterrent effect is no less than that of other fleets.
The United States has assembled seven fleets this time, apparently preparing for a possible large-scale war in the future. The Russian-Ukrainian war has weakened Russia, making China the biggest potential threat. Therefore, the large-scale military exercises held by the United States are regarded as a signal against China and fully prepare for the possible outbreak of conflict between China and the United States in the future. The United States dispatched seven fleets this time, attracting global attention and putting pressure on us.
The U.S. Navy plans to hold a military exercise called Large-Scale Exercise 2023 from August 9 to 18, the largest in four decades. The seven major fleets will be dispatched, and six aircraft carriers will participate, and these six aircraft carrier battle groups are so powerful that even the big countries are difficult to compete with. Equipped with thousands of Tomahawk missiles and more than 200 carrier-based aircraft, this not only makes the fleet extraordinary, but also reflects the rich combat experience of the US Navy, which should not be underestimated.
About 25,000 officers and men will be dispatched for this military exercise, and they are actively gathering to prepare for the upcoming battle. For us, we must be on high alert for this large-scale military exercise, which is clearly aimed at China. Despite the strength of the US Navy, especially the aircraft carrier formation, we still have a huge gap with it in terms of total tonnage and combat effectiveness. Despite the tremendous development of our Navy, there is still a considerable distance from the United States in terms of numbers and overall strength, and it is not wise to go head-to-head.
In the face of a powerful U.S. Navy, we should adopt different tactics. And what the United States fears most is our rocket force. According to the U.S. Naval Academy website, our rocket force has been deployed at nine bases with about 40 missile brigades, each with about six launch battalions. According to U.S. military estimates, we have about 4,000 conventional missiles, mainly deployed in the Eastern Theater, with a focus on the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. This means that we have as many as 4,000 Dongfeng missiles ready to attack at any time, forming a strong deterrent.
Among the combat-ready missiles, the DF-21D and DF-26 have been hailed as carrier killers. Both missiles are in the western Pacific
The region has the ability to threaten U.S. aircraft carriers. As long as the U.S. aircraft carrier is within range of these two missiles, it will face a serious threat. The U.S. defense against these two missiles is relatively weak, especially in the face of such a large-scale missile attack, the U.S. Navy is difficult to resist. Given the advances in missile technology and the huge number of them, it is difficult for the United States to have enough confidence in the face of the Dongfeng missile threat.
The U.S. action is clearly aimed at putting pressure on China, however, China is not afraid to fight in its neighborhood. The Korean and Vietnam wars proved that even if the United States is strong, it is difficult to win around China. China's geographical advantage gives it a clear advantage in peripheral operations. Especially with the support of the Dongfeng missile, China can effectively restrain the actions of the US Navy. In the face of up to 4,000 combat-ready DF missiles, the superiority of the United States is greatly weakened.
The U.S. actions were aimed at exerting pressure, but China has shown determination. However, we do not seek head-to-head, but superiority in the rocket force. According to the U.S. Naval Academy, our rocket force has deployed numerous missiles in the Eastern Theater, including the DF-21D and DF-26, as well as the DF-41 intercontinental missile aimed directly at the continental United States. These missiles have powerful strike capabilities and have potential threats to constrain U.S. operations. The presence of these missiles makes the United States dare not act rashly, because once it tries to get close, it will become the target of these missiles.
In short, against the backdrop of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the rise of Russia's nuclear forces and China makes the United States feel threatened. In this case, the United States demonstrates its strength by holding large-scale military exercises, while trying to exert pressure. However, China has demonstrated strong geographical and rocket force superiority that limits U.S. movement around China. Despite the deployment of seven fleets by the United States, its advantages in the face of the threat of China's rocket forces are still relatively limited. Hence the American army
