The United States announced that the Dongfeng-21 test was successful, but did the US tactics of protecting the aircraft carrier really work, and the Pentagon said that it would slow down the speed of building aircraft carriers? Seeing such a title, military fans and netizens will question, and the United States does not have weapons similar to the Dongfeng-21 missile, so what can be tested for it? Can the test be declared successful just by computer simulation?
The Burke-class destroyers of the US military have been scurrying around the mainland and have illegally crossed the Taiwan Strait on many occasions; these destroyers have air defense combat deployments, are equipped with anti-aircraft standard missiles, and are said to be able to protect US aircraft carriers and be used as accompanying combat ships.
Recently, the US side publicly stated that it was using the Standard 6 missile on this Burke-class destroyer to successfully intercept China's Dongfeng-21 missile.
As soon as the news from China came out, it aroused widespread heated discussions in the international community: Where can the United States find missiles similar to the DF-21, and if it finds other types of missiles with similar ranges, how can the overall state of the performance be the same as that of the mainland's DF-21? Even if it succeeds in intercepting other types of missiles, is it too far-fetched to say that it has succeeded in intercepting the mainland's DF-21?
The United States has always regarded China as an imaginary strategic enemy, and any weapon with great strength that China possesses is like a thorn in the side of the United States. In particular, the advent of the Dongfeng-21 missile appeared as an aircraft carrier nemesis, which was even more unacceptable to the US military. The United States has been looking for ways to intercept DF-21 missiles, and has even come up with a lot of bad tricks. This also fully demonstrates the US military's fear and nervousness toward the mainland's Dongfeng series missiles.
It also proves from the side that the mainland's Dongfeng series missiles, after continuous deduction and simulation by the US side, believe that they do indeed have the ability to damage its aircraft carrier fleet to a certain extent.
Even if the United States does not admit it on the surface, it is well aware that its illegal acts will continue to accumulate contradictions with China to a certain extent, especially when the United States takes further paranoid actions, if it provokes China to be attacked by the other side using Dongfeng-21 series missiles, the US aircraft carriers will be damaged to varying degrees, which will make the US military lose face in front of the world and will also affect its influence in front of its allies.
Therefore, how to resist the Dongfeng-21 strike is a problem that the US aircraft carrier fleet needs to solve, and this problem is a premise that the US military has hypothesized for itself.
The United States launched the Standard 6 missile through the destroyer, claiming to have intercepted the Dongfeng-21 missile, and according to the practice of measures, it must have found a substitute for the simulation, but the majority of netizens and military fans did not buy it at all, believing that the US military was just creating a false atmosphere of public opinion, after all, the orbit change and flight performance of the Dongfeng-21 missile after its real launch, and the simulation with a substitute cannot be truly restored, nor can it be replicated, and it can even be said that the US military's test is not authoritative.
However, the United States does not think so, and not only does it try its best to exaggerate, but the test of the successful interception of the Dongfeng-21 missile also shows that it is an interception exercise with the Australian fleet, which means that this interception is successful, and there are allies who can confirm the authenticity and can also confirm that this joint interception has a reliable repeatability ability.
At present, the United States believes that the number of its aircraft carrier fleet may need to be further increased, but judging from the current financial pressure of the United States and the time period during which aircraft carriers can be delivered, it may not have the comprehensive conditions to continue to build regular aircraft carriers, so the United States has begun to deploy a large number of amphibious assault ships to assemble the aircraft carrier combat force configuration and supplement the lack of aircraft carrier combat forces.
The Pentagon said that the aircraft carrier fleet combat method used by the US military has always been the most effective plan, but slowing down the construction of aircraft carriers is also in order for the US military to better replenish a large number of amphibious assault ships and build lightning aircraft carriers.
In fact, this is also a kind of beautification of the financial pressure on the United States, because the United States cannot bluntly say that the huge amount of US debt has gradually reduced the world's trust in the United States, and the unlimited expansion of US armaments and the rising total military expenditure have also made the American people very dissatisfied with the US government.
According to the US military's view, the United States still needs to build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, rather than the so-called substitutes and simplified versions, but no matter how beautiful the US military's imagination is, it is still unavoidable in the implementation process, and it will require huge financial investment and continue to increase military spending, and the United States cannot afford this financial pressure at present. Therefore, whether the United States wants to build aircraft carriers or build more lethal laser weapons to target military deployments around China, in the short term, the United States has no way to truly solve and implement them.
Therefore, the so-called success of intercepting China's Dongfeng missiles and slowing down the construction of aircraft carriers in the United States are just to create a phenomenon that the United States is already strong enough to have a skeptical attitude towards its allies and the forces that the United States wants to win over, continue to trust the United States, and obey the United States.
