The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

At this time, the Changbai Mountain Laser Defense Base is making intensive preparations.

In response to Barack's inappropriate remarks a few days ago, an anti-satellite experiment will be held here.

It also allows some people to calm down, instead of drinking a few more glasses of wine and saying anything when they get excited.

Want to deploy medium-range missiles and THAAD systems in Japan?
Since the United States took the initiative to end the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty signed with the Soviet Union, it has begun to develop new intermediate-range missiles. Of course, because the United States and the Soviet Union signed the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty, the most advanced intermediate-range ballistic missile currently deployed by the United States is still the Pershing II missile.

The Pershing II missile is a third-generation surface-to-surface tactical missile of the United States. It is a medium-range surface-to-surface solid ballistic missile. It began to be developed in 1974 and was equipped to the troops in 1985. It is mainly used to attack hard targets such as command posts and transportation hubs of the former Warsaw Pact countries. The missile uses two systems: inertial guidance and radar terrain matching terminal guidance.

The warhead of the Pershing II missile is a nuclear warhead with a TNT equivalent of 5000 to 50000. It has a maximum range of 1800 kilometers, a maximum flight altitude of about 300 kilometers, a maximum speed of 12 times the speed of sound, a length of 10 meters, a diameter of 1 meter, a launch mass of 7.26 tons, and a launch preparation time of 5 minutes.

What the United States plans to deploy in Japan is the Pershing II missile. It is self-evident what it wants to do.

As for the THAAD system, its full name is 'Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System'.

The THAAD system is a subsystem of the US global missile defense system. The missile system is mainly developed and produced by the US aerospace manufacturer Lockheed Martin. It is a vehicle-mounted mobile anti-missile system with the unique ability to intercept incoming short-range, medium-range and long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles both inside and outside the atmosphere.

一套‘萨德’系统通常由指挥中心、1部地面X波段雷达、6部8联装发射装置和48枚拦截弹组成，其拦截高度介于大气层内40千米以上至大气层外150千米之内，射程可达200千米，可以击中超音速8倍以上速度发射的弹道导弹。

The biggest highlight of the THAAD system is its X-band radar. The core equipment of THAAD, the AN/TPY-2 radar, has a detection range of up to 2000 kilometers and a very high resolution, and can complete multi-functional tasks such as detection, search, tracking, and target identification.

When the Americans proposed building a national security defense system, the THAAD system was part of the results. It is also regarded by the Americans as the strongest missile defense system and they have always been proud of it.

The US military often makes propaganda, saying that THAAD has conducted five interception tests and achieved excellent results of four hits, claiming that THAAD is one of the most advanced missile defense systems in the world today.

Now that the Americans dare to say they will deploy the THAAD system in Japan, will they deploy medium-range ballistic missiles and the THAAD system in South Korea in a few years?
As the saying goes, I won’t allow others to snore beside my bed!

Why did the Americans explode when the Soviet Union deployed missiles in Cuba, acting as if they would die together with the Soviet Union in order to force the Soviet Union to withdraw the missiles from Cuba?

That’s the truth!

Laser anti-satellite technology can naturally also be used to counter ballistic missiles.

In terms of missile defense, China is a world leader.

Similarly, in terms of missile penetration capability, Chinese missiles are also at the world's advanced level.

At this time, we need to demonstrate our defensive capabilities.

As for the ability to penetrate defense, we need to find an opportunity to compete with each other again and determine who is better.

Anyway, both sides have experience in this regard.

As long as you communicate well in advance, you can discuss it.

On the big screen, the trajectory of a satellite is being displayed, with its coordinates clearly displayed at every moment.

This is a satellite launched in the 80s and has long lost its functionality.

With the current level of technology, it is very easy to monitor satellites in space, and there is no secret at all.

Any satellite in space is monitored in real time. We all talk about trust, but in reality, there is no real trust between major countries.

It's all fake and no one trusts anyone!

As the launch command was issued and the button was pressed, one of the laser cannons fired a laser. The speed of the laser was far beyond that of a missile. In almost an instant, the laser pierced the satellite.

Very accurate.

It can be said that this satellite is a real sitting duck.

This laser was detected by the United States, Russia and other countries at the first moment.

They began to analyze it immediately.

Laser weapons are no strangers to the world's major military countries. Every year, there are at least 800 laser weapon experiments conducted around the world, if not a thousand. The only difference is that some laser weapons are strong, and some are weak.

For example, when a US aircraft approached Russia, Russia once used laser weapons on the aircraft, causing the aircraft to be temporarily blinded.

On the battlefield in Afghanistan, the United States has also used laser weapons many times to burn the skin or eyes of Afghan snipers.

Various types of laser weapons have always been a hot topic of research for major military countries in the world.

United States.

At a press conference a few days ago, Barack showed off his tough image. He believed that previous US governments were too weak, so that strong challengers have now emerged.

According to Barack, the threat should be nipped in the bud. If it were him, he would never let this happen.

Then Barack said that the US military will deploy Pershing II missiles and THAAD systems in Japan to safeguard US national security.

As soon as the news came out, it was reported immediately.

This is the first time in more than a decade that the United States has defined a country as a "strong challenger."

In the past, only the Soviet Union had this treatment.

But today, the relevant departments reported to Barack that his face had turned black. Of course, he is black, so he doesn't look any darker.

"Damn it, this is too disrespectful!" Barack couldn't help but curse. He felt like this was a slap in his face.

At the beginning, Barack rose up like a dark horse and seemed full of vigor and vitality.

He realized that he had a powerful force: black people in America.

As a person of the same skin color, Barack naturally has a huge advantage, so he tried to establish himself as the spokesperson for black Americans, so that he would be invincible.

In addition, he is working on political identity and making American political identity more diverse, which will be of great benefit to him and his party.

In fact, unlike George and Walton who restricted illegal immigration, Barack encouraged these immigrants and issued them ID cards because, firstly, these immigrants were cheap labor, which could effectively reduce the labor costs in the United States, and secondly, these people were his voting base, and most of them would vote for him.
