＂Aircraft Carrier Killer＂ redefine the rules of China and South China and South Chi

Written article: Mao Yuelin

August 27th is the moment of carnival of military observers.On the same day, US Secretary of Defense Esper published the United States who would never give up a one -inch land, and China tried to destroy and subvert the order based on existing rules.On the same day, the US Army Mastein (DDG-89) missile destroyers also opened into the West Sansa Sea in China. This fierce performance made the outside world a little puzzled. What exactly did Beijing do?

The answer is simple. One day ago, on August 26, China officially launched several medium -range ballistic missiles to the southern China seawater area.

According to the information obtained by the Ministry of Defense officials such as Reuters, Bloomberg and other media, China seems to have launched a middle range including Dongfeng-21D and Dongfeng-26 on the 26th.Sub -ball missile.According to different media intelligence, the number of missiles launched by China ranges between 2 to 4.

When the outside world entangled several missiles in the end, another detail is worth noting, that is, this is the first time that the Western world has confirmed that China has launched Dongfeng-26 missiles in the South China Sea.

As a strategic weapon that can be equipped with a nuclear warhead, the longest distance can cover the second island chain and even Guam. Its appearance means that the threshold of the South China Sea confrontation in the next stage has been raised.This weapon itself seems to have become a certain ticket for future intervention in the South China Sea affairs.

It must be acknowledged that since the end of the Cold War, many observers and analysts are still accustomed to the application of strategic weapons with the idea of rejecting conventional weapons.This idea is extremely common in the people.

For example, the Popular Mechanics magazine published a signature article on August 26, only emphasizing that the test operation of Chinese aircraft carrier killers is aimed at the police in the United States.

The Drive Magazine, another well -known military network journal in the United States, also believes that China's anti -ship ballistic missile test conducted in the South China Sea is a major event: it not only means that the Chinese military has tested the most strategic in the South China Sea.Sexual combat capabilities, this also shows some obvious challenges to the U.S. military in the region.

The driving force pointed out that the Chinese Navy has established a defense system composed of various types of missiles such as Red Flag-9, Eagle-62, Dongfeng-21 and Long Sword-10 in the South China Sea in 2019.Water within the nine -segment line, its strike radius ranges from 200 kilometers, 400 kilometers to 1,700 kilometers.But in general, these are still based on conventional warfare.

In contrast, observers with military backgrounds are not very optimistic.Esper's speech is actually sufficient to explain the problem: China is trying to change the rules. In this regard, the United States lacks strategic response methods, except for contacts such as liaison in Bangladesh, Mongolia, the Philippines and some Pacific island countries, as well as preparing some technical equipment, the United States, the United States, the United StatesIt is making yourself believe that your own side has an asymmetric advantage.

Since 2016, American scholars believe that China has gradually possessed the ability to reflect/regional refusal (A2/AD) in the Western Pacific, and its centralized performance was that China had deployed a motorized in mobile type with a range of more than 1,400 kilometers at that time.The trainer missile can constitute an asymmetric threat to various goals such as surface ships, combat aircraft, power plants, and ground armored vehicles of the United States and its allies.Due to the difficulty of the U.S. Air Sea Tortee (ASB) scheme in the same period, it is even more difficult to maintain air or surface operations near the land controlled by the United States near China.The US military observation magazine (Mility Watch Magazine) directly pointed out that the Toyo-26 test was considered to be reminded to China.

By 2020, the National Interest Magazine also named the Dongfeng-26 missile in August, and specially talked about the newspaper's newspaper's newspaper mentioned that it constituted a special threat.By the 27th, the editor of the national defense column of the magazine also issued a signature comment, emphasizing whether Chinese missiles are the aircraft carrier killer for the time being, but it has triggered the large -scale discussion and evaluation of the US Navy.The U.S. scholars' strategy of the PLA since 2015 has finally fell from paper to reality with paper.In this regard, this Chinese aircraft carrier killer missile: It is time to end the comments that separate hype and reality in the end. In the end, they have to end the conclusions that emphasize that the US military's electronic warfare capabilities can interfere with Chinese missiles.

The Australian diplomat (The Diplomat) magazine with Tokyo as the stronghold pointed out on August 24 that China's ideas in theoretical theory of naval warfare may be out of the theory of sea power theory of Alfred Mahan, turning to Julian (JulianCorbett) existing fleets and active defense strategies.This has made China develop and deploy the naval forces to extend its control to the second island chain.At the same time, relying on advanced land -based ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, it threatened U.S. military facilities on Okinawa Island and Guam.

This article also emphasizes the anti -ship ballistic missile of the PLA: it uses advanced re -entering aircraft technology to accurately combat most sea -based missile defense systems.The author believes that these systems aims to prevent the United States from controlling the water surface in the second island chain, which will stop and delay and let the potential military operations of the U.S. military be relegated when necessary.

Considering that the US military carrier formation was sent to the South China Sea around August 14. By the 27th, only a ship went to the Masting of Xisha. This status quo also seemed to verify the guess of scholars.It seems that when Dongfeng-21D and Dongfeng-26 fell in the scheduled exercise waters of the South China Sea, although this move was not targeted at a specific country, the waves they stirred up seemed to have some reactions.

Of course, it is unrealistic that it is unrealistic to expect a test to make the US military change.At present, the U.S. military is still in the process of preparing for the Pacific military exercise.According to the US Department of Defense, on August 27, Esper also inspected two destroyers, and then praised the U.S. military officers and soldiers on board the ship.The military is too strong and excellent, so that the PLA is far from reach.But in general, the United States needs to improve some imagination on the Chinese issue: the Chinese army can only do only in the 20th century way of sending out the ocean fleet and other traditional ways of the ocean fleet for the sake of sea power.
