The first quarter of 2024 has passed in such a busy and orderly manner.
The world is constantly increasing in entropy, and just the beginning makes many people not know where to go.
The Pacific Ocean is no longer enough to describe the broad scope of the United States' management of international affairs.
As the world's policeman, we are born in a peaceful and thriving country, and we cannot help but feel worried about the beacon nation of humanity.
Later, the Houthis controlled their own oil lifeline, and militarily pulled a few NATO brothers to borrow together.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates, but it failed to recover the plummeting U.S. bonds.
This time, Ukraine has made a big show and exported it in front of Russia.
It doesn't matter what Putin thinks.
The United States has made it all to the bottom.
When everybody thinks, "That's enough! America is a kid who is not yet 200 years old, and he's tired."
North Korea, which has always been obscenely developed, kicked the soft underbelly of the United States.
According to KCNA:
Anyone who studies journalism knows that the shorter the press release, the bigger the matter.
And this time the North Korean test launched this ballistic missile.
However, during the entire test launch process, it failed to show the absolute strength to match it, which was equivalent to a drift in the Sea of Japan.
The United States, Japan, and South Korea are at loggerheads.
Who is helping this unfathomable "opponent" in this "East Asian monster room"?
Following the sundial incineration
In Hollywood blockbusters, when the screenwriter doesn't know what kind of ending to arrange for the script, it is usually a missile that everyone ascends to heaven.
Human weapons, from cold weapons to nuclear weapons.
The first is to be ruthless enough.
Missiles usually carry high explosives, nuclear warheads, or other payloads of mass destruction, which can cause great damage to the target.
And this kind of massive lethality is not only for ordinary buildings.
Some anti-ship missiles, even capable of penetrating solid armor, pose a great threat to surface ships and ground installations.
And "resisting the enemy thousands of miles away" is also the biggest feature of the missile:
Not only do they hit far, but there are also many missile tricks.
For example, ground-to-ground, surface-to-air, air-to-air, air-to-ground, ship-to-ship, submarine-to-ground/ship and other types.
Of course, no matter how awesome the weapon is, it must follow the laws of physics.
Coupled with ballistic missiles, the speed is particularly fast in the ascent phase and the re-entry phase.
It is almost impossible to deal with it effectively by conventional means of air defense.
Some missiles, on the other hand, have a certain degree of autonomy and battlefield adaptability.
During the flight, the trajectory can be corrected based on real-time information, and even tactical decisions can be made according to the changing situation on the battlefield.
"Comes and goes without a trace".
This makes ballistic missiles the most headache on the battlefield between countries.
whereas
Scratching the boots
After the end of the Cold War.
The superiority of the United States in global military strength has reduced the urgency of research and development of new and sophisticated weapons technology to a certain extent.
Especially in hypersonic weapons, this area.
In the early days, not enough attention and financial support were given.
Especially in the development of hypersonic weapons.
As a result, the response to the technological development of other countries is lagging behind, the intelligence collection and analysis is inaccurate, and the R&D strategy and resource allocation cannot be adjusted in a timely manner.
Wait for them to wake up.
败。
This is partly due to the high cost of R&D and low technology maturity.
This, coupled with the export control policy, has affected access to key technologies and components.
The boomerang was struck.
As a result, THAAD was placed in the territory of Korea, the youngest son of Asia.
"Aegis" has become the standard configuration of US maritime military forces.
But taking defense as offense is not a long-term solution after all.
This time, North Korea's "Hwasong-16B" is a big-eared melon seed that was fiercely pulled out in the face of the United States and its minions in Asia.
Hold back
The "Mars Cannon" launched by the DPRK this time.
According to the analysis of the well-known US military forum "War Zone", it can be described as a newer and iterative strategic weapon.
First of all, in terms of orbital booster gliders.
Regardless of the difficulty of putting such boosters into production.
As far as ballistics are concerned, this trajectory, known as "Qian Xuesen's ballistics," is a breakthrough that scientists of many major countries dream of.
Moreover, in order to enhance the maneuverability of the missile.
North Korea will also fuel the "Hwasong-16B" this time.
Switching from liquid to solid fuels allows for flexible reaction times.
You know, missiles due to their high precision.
This also leads to the unexpected.
The reaction time of liquid-fueled rockets is bound to be longer.
And now that North Korea is vigorously developing solid-fuel rockets, it is difficult not to speculate in other directions.
Plus last month,
Fast and strong, move and dodge.
At the time of the test launch of the "Hwasong-16B".
That's enough for Japan and South Korea.
The United States is even more secretly annoyed that the father did not play what he understood, and he made a sound and impressive mess with his son's classmates, which can be described as shameless.
And in this military forum, speculation was carried out on the operational characteristics and appearance of the missile:
And the conical booster,
But no matter how much it is discussed.
Today, the beacon of the world is no longer bright.
Those problems that have been suppressed by the hegemon and have not been triggered have surfaced one by one.
If there is no more reasonable distribution mechanism, and the attitude to solve the problem.
At that time, this "child" of more than 200 years old is afraid that he will really start a business before he is halfway through and will collapse.
