[Preface]
In the mainland's current military development, the Dongfeng missile, as one of the mainland's nuclear missiles, has a unique strategic value, and plays a very important role in both the victory of the war and the maintenance of the mainland's territorial security.
Relations between China and the United States have been in a very delicate state of change in recent years, and in particular, the game of military science and technology has always been in full swing.
As the world's largest military power, the United States' strength in military weapons is obvious to all, and after the Gulf War, missiles have become a symbol of a country's military strength.
According to the estimates of Russian military experts in the past two years, the United States now has at least about 150,000 missiles of various types in stockpile.
Compared with the United States, the mainland's military development is far behind, and judging from the current configuration of the mainland's rocket forces, the mainland's standing tactical missiles are about 12,000.
For example, the US Trident is now one of its most advanced submarine-launched missiles, ranking first in the world in terms of performance, and its launch success rate is also unparalleled.
We all know that the United States has always been afraid that China's development will surpass theirs, and it is bent on securing the position of the world's number one hegemon, so it has never stopped its provocations against China and the technological "bottleneck" in our development.
Since there is such a big gap between the mainland's missile strength and that of the United States, why does the United States not dare to directly go to war with China? What is the gap between China and the United States in terms of the performance of their most advanced missiles?
[Missile gap between China and the United States]
In recent years, the United States has often used the "China threat theory" to smear China, and has often made a big fuss about the performance of some weapons developed and manufactured by China.
Nuclear deterrence is very large in the defense of national territory, and in 2021, statistics from a national research institute showed the gap in the number of nuclear warheads between China and the United States.
At that time, the number of China's nuclear warheads was 350, while the number of US nuclear warheads was 5,550.
However, in terms of the performance of various types of missiles today, the performance strength of Chinese and US missiles has its own merits, and although the number of mainland missiles is small, it is very diverse in terms of performance.
First of all, the continent's missiles are very flexible, and in addition to conventional and nuclear warheads, they can also carry hypersonic glide vehicles.
Most of the US missiles carry nuclear warheads, and the gap in this regard is actually the gap in the penetration capability in war.
Because of their relatively strong flexibility, the mainland's missiles have a stronger penetration capability in terms of strike power, while the flexibility of the United States' missiles will be greatly limited if it is in a non-nuclear conflict.
The United States now mainly relies on two types of intercontinental missiles, one is the Minuteman-3, and the other is the Trident D5, the former is a land-based intercontinental missile, which has been developed since the 60s of the last century.
In the later development, more than 10 models of this missile have been formed, and with the progress of the times and technological innovation, local improvements are also being made.
This missile can carry three multi-warheads and is one of the most lethal and destructive strategic weapons in the world, and plays a very important role in the course of war.
Another point is that the designer of the militia missile is still Chinese, and Liang Sili, a famous missile designer on the mainland, is still a classmate, and Liang Sili later participated in the manufacture of the mainland's Dongfeng missile.
Although the Minuteman-3 has a range advantage of tens of thousands of kilometers, the design of the mainland's Dongfeng missile has a time difference of 50 years with the United States.
First of all, it is superior to the US militia in terms of advancement, and the strike accuracy of the Minuteman-3 missile is 300 meters, while the accuracy of the Dongfeng-41 has reached 100 meters.
The Trident is also a relatively classic missile in the United States, which has been in service since the nineties of the last century to the present, and has been in service for more than 30 years, but it is still not lagging behind in performance.
It is still at the top of the list of missile power in the world, and its performance is said to be able to destroy hundreds of cities in half an hour.
As a result, this weapon is also known as the most dangerous weapon in the world, and since the birth of this missile, the United States has conducted several test launches, and holds the world record for successful launches of submarine-launched missiles.
The Trident is powerful enough to cover the whole world in terms of range, the shell is made of carbon fiber, and the guidance method used is also joint guidance, so the error is also very small.
[Why doesn't the United States dare to go to war with China]
Although the US missiles are also powerful, they also have drawbacks: US land-based intercontinental missiles are not as good as mainland missiles in terms of concealment.
Their missiles are basically deployed in fixed underground silos, so that in actual warfare, they are actually easy to be discovered by their opponents and then give a fatal blow.
Most of the missiles on the mainland are launched by mobile launch vehicles, which can effectively avoid being detected and attacked at a fixed position compared with fixed underground silos.
This has also greatly improved the survivability and concealment of the mainland's missile system, and the mainland also has a great advantage in concealment in sea-based intercontinental missiles, for example, the mainland's Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine is stronger than the Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine of the United States in terms of the possibility of being detected and destroyed.
This American submarine is indeed very powerful in terms of performance, but its size and noise are also shocking, so it is easier to be tracked and attacked.
For example, the DF-41 missile only takes three minutes from receiving the command to launching, but the Minuteman-3 takes about 15 minutes.
As we mentioned earlier, the mainland's missiles can carry hypersonic glide vehicles, and the Dongfeng-17 missile is a missile equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle, which can achieve a flight of more than 5 times the speed of sound.
Moreover, in the process of flying, it can also achieve maneuver evasion when approaching the target, which can greatly enhance the penetration of the mainland's missile against the enemy's anti-missile system.
Therefore, from this aspect alone, in fact, the United States will not dare to start a war lightly by relying only on its numerical superiority without having a complete advantage.
Moreover, in terms of weapons and equipment, all countries in the world will not announce all the performance or quantity, and of course, the research and development and innovation of new weapons have never stopped.
Since the rise of the US military research institute from China's military, there have been countless simulations and analyses of the war between China and the United States.
Of course, in the eyes of some netizens, the behavior of the United States is also very contradictory, while fearing China, it is constantly provoking.
But in fact, it has been constantly provocative, constantly smearing China with the theory of the China threat, or using its technological superiority to sanction China in some trade competitions, in fact, it has reflected from the side that the momentum of China's development has made the United States afraid.
More than 70 years ago, the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which was not yet militarily strong, was able to break out in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and now that China's military strength has entered the forefront of world development, its strength is even more unpredictable.
Therefore, for the United States, the essence of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is fearful, and at the moment of real crisis and survival, the firm will, spirit of unity and determination of the mainland PLA to protect the people of the country will burst out with huge combat potential.
If it really wants to fight, the United States itself will lose more than it gains, and its various behaviors have made many countries see clearly its style of work in front of the people and behind the scenes.
Some countries do not have the strength to attack the United States, but it has really reached its weak moment, and the agreement under the bundle of interests is no longer counted, and it is unknown who is the sword and who is the fish.
[China's military strength]
China's military strength for the United States, like the unknown underwater world, always has an unsearchable depth, in today's era of peace, the butterfly effect brought about by a war is also huge, so although the United States is strong, but it is not unscrupulous.
The mainland's military strength is not only very strong in the field of missiles, but it is also constantly advancing in other aspects, and it has also made very remarkable achievements.
For example, the Fujian aircraft carrier, which was completely independently developed and manufactured by the mainland, is a demonstration of the mainland's strong military strength, and the Fujian is the mainland's first catapult-type aircraft carrier.
In the recent sea trials, it attracted the attention of the whole world, and after successfully entering the open sea, there were no relevant photos and videos, but the United States commercial satellite took pictures of the Fujian ship sailing in the open sea on the 2nd of this month.
After it was posted on the Warzone website, it caused a lot of discussion, and it can be seen from the photos that the driving process is very normal, and there is no smoke.
There are many people who are speculating about how powerful the specific performance of this aircraft carrier is, although it is a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, but in terms of the performance of sea trials, the Fujian ship is better than that of India and Russian aircraft carriers.
Nowadays, in the international community, China's voice and influence are constantly increasing, so even if the United States wants to start a war, it must weigh whether it has the strength to bear the consequences.
