The Chinese press suspected the United States of trying to revive the "Star Wars" project

The Chinese press reacted to the statements coming from the United States about "readiness to press Beijing and Moscow to reduce their nuclear arsenals." China is analyzing these statements from the representative of the Joe Biden administration, noting that the United States itself continues to militarize - and not only on Earth, but also in outer space.

Attention is drawn to the work of the Americans on the creation of the latest DARC radar complex, which will allow detecting almost any targets in space at a distance of 35-40 thousand km.

The Chinese edition of "Huangqiu Shibao" indicates that the American side defines its activities as "protection from the reckless behavior of China and Russia." Also in the USA, the peaceful purposes of the project are reported, which is questioned by the Chinese author. Material:

But this is only an excuse to engage in the militarization of outer space. They are trying to re-emphasize global rivalry, which will lead to inevitable escalation.

Further, the Chinese author writes that this is an actual attempt by the United States to revive the Star Wars project, which they tried to implement several decades ago.

From the article:

Beijing and Moscow are resolutely opposed to the militarization of outer space, as this can lead to irreversible consequences in terms of the emergence of new risks and threats to humanity.

The Chinese observer notes that Washington is trying to gain total control over the planet and over near-earth space in order to dictate its will to other states.

The Chinese authorities are invited to continue work on space exploration, which is designated as one of the foundations of the country's security.

For your information: SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) project, often referred to as "Star Wars", was created in the mid-1980s. The main goal in this was the conquest of dominance by the United States in outer space. After the collapse of the USSR, work on this project in America ceased.

The main goal in this was the conquest of dominance by the United States in outer space.

No, not the main goal - it would be for the economy of the USSR to overstrain in the arms race, the USSR quickly realized this, although military developments in this matter also went as the final creation of the Buran project.

For a pretty penny !!!

Yes, everything goes to that! Our current lag in space can somehow be compensated for, only by the actual putting into service of the Avangard, hypersonic missiles and other sets undergoing tests. The changed doctrine of the use of nuclear deterrent means obliges to be ready for its use even in the event of a local conflict that threatens the existence of Russia.

I will say a seditious thought ... militarization in space is inevitable ... and if so, Russia needs to lead this process, justifying it by the US aggression against peace on Earth.
In addition, the space industry itself can become a locomotive of industrial production, giving jobs to many people ... we need the political will of the Kremlin, we need a goal worthy of our state ... the exploration of near space is also inevitable ... and the sooner we start it, the faster we will be the first to take VIP places.

It is strange that the Chinese have only now "suspected". It seems that the Americans did not hide their wishes. True, this is no longer SDI in the form it was in 83m. But what's the difference - the same personal belongings, only in profile

And where to get real opportunities and prerequisites? To "lead", you need economic prerequisites, you need an economic base ... To have this, there must be a demand in the world for the Russian and supply to the Russian world! There is no such thing ... at least not to the extent required! I would have believed in "leadership" if, at least, "half the world" ... "third of the world" collected computers, smartphones on Elbrus processors! If every tenth car drove on the roads of Europe and America ... "Lada" from Russia! But now, a significant part of Russia's income (which is still being plundered in considerable quantities ...) is the exchange of natural resources for industrial products or their sale ... If we left the "Papuans" with their exchange of gold nuggets for glass beads, but did not hide from them "beyond the horizon"!

In! Finally, Ukraine can help the United States! We have our own Darth Vader in Odessa, and his retinue, So in Star Wars ... "the grocer and the cardinal" together!

It is not worth getting involved in the race, but it is necessary to accelerate the development of the space nuclear tug "Zeus" (Nuclon), which will make it possible to control the US space technology in space.

At the moment, all the main key technologies for the transport and energy module of the first generation have been developed and a large-scale design mock-up of the spacecraft has been developed.

Various electric motors of different designs have been tested:

The actual creation of the aircraft is planned from 2024, and at the same time it is planned to start work on the hydrogen stage of the Angara-A5V rocket and the start of construction of the so-called. of the "third stage" of the Vostochny cosmodrome with all the necessary infrastructure for pre-launching of TEM. TEM start-up is tentatively scheduled for 2030.

As much as we want it, it will happen. First, under plausible pretexts or in the form of dual-use technologies. We need to prepare for this, too.

[Prisoner]

They need to revive the education system and train engineering personnel, not a "Star Wars" project. They have problems on the ground every year like a snowball is growing.

SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) project,

... And what, new, fundamentally better, effective weapons / systems have appeared that will bring this project to a fundamentally new level of efficiency, and not high cost ???
How, when, where, why don't we know about it? Or overslept, this event?
