A recent war was a big surprise. Israel's air base was bombarded by Iran's missiles, and it was in the presence of tall stealth fighters such as the F-35. This can't help but make people wonder, are those high-tech weapons that have been blown into the sky reliable?
Stealth fighters: not a universal "ghost in the sky"
Speaking of which, the F-35 is the pride of the military industry of country M. This fifth-generation stealth fighter is claimed to be able to evade radar detection and haunt like a ghost. But in this missile attack by Iran, the F-35 does not seem to have played much role.
Iran reportedly fired about 30 missiles, many of which hit Israel's air base directly. Although the losses are not too heavy, it also reveals that the F-35 is not invincible. Some military experts have analyzed that the stealth performance of the F-35 may be exaggerated, or Iran has found a way to deal with it.
I think this F-35 is like a star who has been praised to the sky, but as soon as he gets on the field, he is timid. Isn't it a slap in the face to spend so much money on "high-tech", but it can't even protect your own airport? However, no one can say for sure about the war, and maybe the F-35 will be able to show its might next time.
Missile defense: how many can be blocked?
Speaking of defense, Israel is the famous "Iron Dome" air defense system. But why didn't they block Iran's missiles this time? Some experts say that the existing missile defense system is actually quite chicken.
For example, an air defense system may be able to intercept only a few missiles at the same time. If the enemy launches dozens or hundreds of them at a time, isn't that "ants gnawing on elephants"? Moreover, the cost of interceptor missiles is not low, and sometimes an interceptor missile is more expensive than an intercepted missile. In this way, wouldn't the defenders lose a lot?
Speaking of Wanwan, a new type of "Tiangong-4" air defense missile was test-fired some time ago, claiming to be able to intercept a large number of ballistic missiles. But whether it will work in a real fight or not, no one can say. After all, talking on paper and fighting are two different things.
Arms Race: A game that never ends
This reminds me of the arms race during the Cold War. At that time, the United States and the Soviet Union threw a lot of money into it for military superiority. Now, it seems, the race has begun again.
Take Wanwan as an example, it not only has the "Patriot" missiles of country M, but also has its own "Sky Bow" series. However, there are quite a few missiles on the other side, and if they really want to fight, will Wanwan be able to stop them?
But this arms race is not all bad. It has promoted the development of science and technology, such as GPS and the Internet, which are not all products of the civilian use of military technology.
Future Wars: Technology or People?
After watching the Iran missile attack on Israel, I suddenly felt that the future war might not be what we imagined.
Everyone always thinks that future wars are high-tech showdowns, such as artificial intelligence, drones, stealth fighters, and the like. But this incident has taught us that even the most advanced weapons are flawed. What really determines the outcome may be people's wisdom and determination.
Just like playing chess, no matter how good the pieces are, if you can't use them, they will be in vain. On the contrary, those seemingly inconspicuous "little soldiers" may be able to turn the tables around if they are used well.
Reflection and outlook
This incident teaches us a lesson. Those weapon systems that have been blown out of the sky are actually not as powerful as we think. Both the F-35 and the missile defense system have their limitations.
I think it's better to put more thought into how to avoid conflict than to put your hopes in these so-called "artifacts". After all, no matter how advanced weapons are, they are not as good as peace.
Of course, I might be a little naïve to say that. But looking at the conflicts around the world right now, and thinking about those homes that have been destroyed by war, who doesn't want peace? Perhaps, we should spend all the money spent on armaments to improve people's livelihood. In this way, everyone can live a good life, and they still need to fight back and forth?
