Chapter 1097 Collapse of Strategic Defense

In June, China began to welcome the hot summer.

With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, the global summer has become hotter.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the New Jersey Nets 4-2. This year, because both sides have Chinese players, it is also called the NBA Finals Chinese Derby. Liu Jingming plays for the Lakers and Yao Ming plays for the New Jersey Nets.

Liu Jingming has improved to the All-Star level, forming the Lakers Big Three with O'Neal and Kobe, winning the most regular season games, and sweeping opponents in the playoffs to advance to the finals.

After Yao Ming joined the NBA, he also improved rapidly. This year, he also became a star player, and the Nets also played the Nets Big Three.

However, there is obviously a gap in strength between the two sides, and the Lakers finally won the championship.

The Lakers, who won three consecutive championships, finally completed the hegemony of three consecutive championships and became a dynasty team.

What's more frightening is that although O'Neal will be one year older in the new season, Kobe is already a superstar and is still improving. In this year's playoffs, O'Neal was able to score repeatedly after being fouled, and he turned the tide many times and won this year's FMVP. The younger Liu Jingming is also improving. In the new season, Liu Jingming will be in the last year of his rookie contract.

The Lakers' three consecutive championships have become a dynasty team, which has had a great impact in China.

In recent years, because of Liu Jingming's relationship, CCTV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV have continuously increased live broadcasts and rebroadcasts of NBA games, and the Lakers have become the main team in China. And the Nets chose Yao Ming with the first pick, Yao Ming became the first Chinese to join the NBA as the No. 1 pick, and the Nets also became half of the main team in China.

In this season, in addition to Liu Jingming and Yao Ming, there are Hu Weidong, Wang Zhizhi, and Battelle fighting in the NBA. There are six Chinese players playing in the NBA, which further expanded the influence of the NBA in China.

Basketball has also replaced football and become the number one ball sport in China.

In China, the influence of basketball has far exceeded that of football. Even though the World Cup was held in Japan and South Korea this year, it has not shaken the status of basketball in China.

Most schools have basketball courts, and many cities have public basketball courts.

Ordinary people, especially students, pay attention to the NBA and talk about the Lakers' three consecutive championships. People who study international politics and military affairs are focusing on one major event.

That is the United States' formal withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty signed by the United States and the Soviet Union in 1972!

The Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, whose full name is the Treaty on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems, is a bilateral treaty signed by the Soviet Union and the United States in 1972. The treaty is regarded as the cornerstone of global strategic stability. There are 32 international treaties on disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation linked to this treaty.

However, over the years, the United States, which has the world's largest nuclear arsenal and the most advanced conventional arsenal, has continuously invited Russia to agree to amend the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, and has accelerated the research, development and preparation for the deployment of the national missile defense system in disregard of the relevant provisions of the treaty, seeking to further occupy the relative strategic advantage on the ground and in space, so that now it has officially announced its withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty!

It can be said that this is the first time in modern history that the United States has withdrawn from a major international treaty, which will bring about a series of chain reactions.

After all, this can be said to be a setback in the international arms control process!

Now that the United States has officially withdrawn from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and is actively developing and deploying national missile defense systems and theater missile defense systems, the changes in the US nuclear strategic principles and the failure of the anti-missile treaty indicate that international strategic security in the 21st century will fall into a serious crisis.

This is not only the first time that the United States has withdrawn from an important international agreement since the end of World War II in 1945, but also means that the international rules prohibiting "strategic defense" that have lasted for 30 years will collapse from now on.

Liu Tao returned to Beijing to attend an important security meeting.

This meeting discussed the feasibility and necessity of deploying more 'Aegis-5'.

China's missile defense system is composed of various Aegis air defense missile systems.

Aegis-0 is a land-based short-range air defense missile system with a maximum range of 20 kilometers and a maximum altitude of 10,000 meters; Aegis-1 is a land-based medium-range air defense missile system, Aegis-2 is a ship-based air defense missile system with a maximum range of 148.2 kilometers and a maximum altitude of 24,000 meters. If the range is extended, the maximum range is 185.2 kilometers; Aegis-3 is also divided into land-based and ship-based, with a minimum range of 150 kilometers and a maximum range of 300 kilometers; Aegis-4 is divided into land-based and ship-based, with a minimum range of 200 kilometers and a maximum range of 400 kilometers.

As for the 'Aegis-5' long-range air defense missile system, it is the latest achievement of the Aegis air defense missile system. It is currently only equipped on the Type 055 destroyer. The maximum range of this long-range air defense missile system has reached 600 kilometers.

The longer the range and faster the speed of the air defense missile system, the stronger the defense capability. Regardless of Aegis 3, Aegis 4, or Aegis 5, they can all intercept ballistic missiles, even intercontinental ballistic missiles.

This meeting is now discussing whether to increase the deployment of the Aegis 4 land-based long-range air defense missile system, or to increase the deployment of the Aegis-5 land-based long-range air defense missile system!

The importance of anti-missile system construction is self-evident. This is a strategic weapon.

So far, Panshan Group has not even exported the Aegis-3 long-range air defense missile system, in order to keep it secret, so as to retain its defense capabilities to the maximum extent.

As for the Aegis-4 long-range air defense missile system, it is even more so, it is highly confidential, and even after so many years, it has not been announced to the public.

The Aegis-5 long-range air defense missile system is currently only equipped on the Type 055 destroyer, and the report did not even mention it.

And these long-range air defense missile systems are designed to destroy electronic jamming aircraft, early warning aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, bomber aircraft, tactical and campaign-tactical ballistic missiles, medium-range ballistic missiles, and hypersonic targets!

Like the Aegis-5 long-range air defense missile system, it can even intercept intercontinental missiles. After all, its range reaches 600 kilometers and its speed is extremely fast.

Deploying more Aegis-5 land-based long-range air defense missile systems will undoubtedly enhance air defense capabilities, and everyone can sleep more peacefully.

China's air defense force is relatively strong now. The air defense missiles are composed of long-range air defense missiles, medium-range air defense missiles, and short-range air defense missiles. The short-range ones also include anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and individual air defense missiles. In addition, the J-10 and J-11 fighters can also be used for air interception.

However, no one has ever disliked the air defense force as being too strong, but only felt that it was not enough.

This point is probably a commonality among all mankind.

Moreover, this meeting not only discussed the deployment of long-range air defense missiles, but also discussed the deployment of more advanced ballistic missiles.

Missiles and anti-missiles are a pair of spears and shields, and the two are in a spiral upward trend.

If the other party strengthens its anti-missile capabilities, then the other party will inevitably improve the performance of missiles to make the missiles more difficult to intercept!
