"An unprecedented breakthrough": The United States is concerned about the development of Chinese strategic weapons

31

The United States is concerned about the emergence of a second "equal opponent" and potential adversary of the United States, along with Russia, who has a nuclear weapon... According to the head of the US Strategic Command (STRATCOM), Admiral Charles Richard, China has made an "unprecedented breakthrough" in strategic offensive weapons.

According to the admiral, for the first time in his stories The United States is faced with the emergence of two equal adversaries armed with nuclear weapons, capable of fighting America on equal terms. If this was clear in relation to Russia before, then the appearance of China in this role, to some extent, came as a surprise to Washington.



The head of STRATCOM admitted that China has made an "unprecedented breakthrough" unparalleled in history. What is at stake not only about nuclear weapons, but also about conventional weapons, space and cyberspace.

Now the US fears that China will make another technological breakthrough, and with the help of the Americans, albeit against their will. In Washington, they expressed fears that China would use American weapons left in Afghanistan after the US flight. According to experts, the Taliban * (the movement is banned in Russia as a terrorist movement) will share abandoned weapons with China, which will help the Chinese to master American technologies. Of particular concern is the falling into the hands of the Chinese of American electronic equipment.

(...) the Chinese military will take advantage of this unexpected fortune to create new weapons and military equipment adapted to the vulnerable areas of the US Armed Forces

    In one of the comments, I just wrote that the Chinese partners will send their specialists to dig deeper into the abandoned amerovskoy technology. it turns out that I was not mistaken ...
    although judging by the photos of the abandoned equipment, the Americans broke everything there, unscrewed everything that could be broken, unscrewed.
    we are waiting for the emergence of new "developments" from the Chinese.

    PS I can't understand the logic of amers - they themselves threw everything, ran away, and now they whine that everything will be stolen from them ...

      Over the past 30 years, China has made a huge leap forward in all areas.
      First, in the economy, industry and infrastructure, that on their basis pulled up science.
      The most important thing is that the Chinese see their goals and successfully move towards them, and now no one can stop them in development.

        Not without the help of the Russian Federation. Only with us three Chinese specialists studied and defended their Ph.D. theses. so they squeak, but they make their way.
        And they constantly send requests for cooperation on topics of interest to them.

        Threat One very well-known Chinese company has already sent a delegation to our university, endowed with its products to create a good impression and concluded contracts for joint research. I researched a number of materials made in China - I can say that they are very close in technological quality to ours. not identical but extremely close. the Chinese are developing, the twig is going forward.

          The Chinese are no longer buying technology, but advanced ideas.
          Their breakthrough reminds me of Stalin's industrialization, who they were 30 years ago and who they are today. It's colossal!

            Yes, they are no longer just stupidly copying now, they are now ready to buy ideas and a development principle, and not stupidly buy a private ready-made technology and rivet according to a product drawing. They buy because while they are not very creative with them - they themselves admit it. But, IMHO, it's a matter of time for them.

                They do not just teach, but are sent under guarantees that the student will return back to China and there he will be guaranteed a highly paid job. Here one of them unlearned with us, and happy went back - says I THERE work is already waiting. That's why they started to succeed.

                like the Japanese in their time, and now, most likely, too. stood in 2001 at the acceptance of herring at BATM, in the roadstead of Okhotsk. So they brought Japanese trainees to us from somewhere. Lived with us and studied herring on natural carcasses)))) hi

            But agree. They had the prerequisites for this. Huge hardworking population with a penchant for discipline. And when, under Deng Xiaoping, the West stopped putting pressure on them and they themselves stopped fooling around with their "cultural revolution" - Atlas squared his shoulders ...

      The Americans fled in a hurry, at the last moment the terms were sharply reduced. So basically, probably what is important was destroyed or taken out, but in a hurry something was left behind. Negligence, inconsistency, etc.
      You don't need a lot to study, one sample is enough, or out of 10 "rendered inoperative" you can collect a working copy.

      In terms of improving electronic warfare, it is very helpful to be able to control live how the communication "deteriorates" on real samples.

      well so. For the first time or what? The mentality of a petty gopnik is to nightmare the weaker by squeezing the mobile so I feel cool. And that everyone is doing the right thing. The same goes for petty theft. If you took it by the scruff of the neck like this - "and they were the first to start!" hi

    And it was not necessary ... a lot of things were not needed, and now oh and ah! preoccupied without measure.

      usually such photos are labeled as "illustrative". Those. not a specific object or type of weapon (or anything). But here they did not deign to make such a signature.

    How does the Chinese rocket DF 5A differ from the American Minuteman, the engines are the same on the same principle. The warheads are the same, but slow. Even if he drives a blizzard, where is the breakthrough?

      Korolyov also began by copying and reproducing the V-2. Then he made a breakthrough in manned astronautics. Do not think that the Chinese do not have their own "queens".
      Even if not right now, they will appear sooner or later.

    "Every empire is doomed to collapse - sooner or later, but inevitably."
    The Americans cannot admit their collapse in any way. True, this does not make it easier for us, but rather even harder. We have already been appointed guilty of everything, and then I think there will be even more non-standard steps. Moreover, now the United States has introduced a new term (((( (highly likely))))))

    Everything is very simple. The problems of "Indians" Americans "Sheriffs" do not care about transnational companies.
    In fact, we are witnessing new processes in the United States. Transnational companies maximize their profits while at the same time throwing off expenses on the state. And the case with abandoned equipment is a trifle. There will be even more such cases in the future. So we stock up on popcorn and watch this show further.

    What technologies are Americans so worried about? Humvee and Blackhawks? What kind of electronics is there? GPS Navigators Made in China?

    Or is there something we don't know, and the Taliban accidentally got the F-35?

      For example, there were drones with a control system. Judging by the rush that was, most likely there were communication systems of different levels.

    adapted to vulnerable areas of the US Armed Forces

    Traditionally, the most vulnerable spheres of the exclusive are the two hemispheres located below the lower back. Most of all they are afraid of little green men, arranging anal sounding of captured inhabitants. Therefore, the Chinese need to attend to the most popular Internet topic: the increase of you-know-what.

    discipline

    Not certainly in that way.
    Previously, they also had enough amateurs (as we now have) to eat at the state expense.
    But the Chinese returned the corrupt officials who fled abroad, condemned with those whom they managed to catch, and publicly executed. Over the entire period of the fight against corruption, several thousand criminals have been executed.
    Thus, the state prevented the theft of huge funds, and showed what would happen to those who encroach on the country's economy.

      Vooot. That is, they have practically no impunity. Stole, escaped, you will still be called to account. And at least someone, but will answer. Unfortunately, we have almost no such thing - just nepotism and friendship based on the principle of personal loyalty and devotion. This approach is notoriously dead-end. We need specialists dedicated to their work, professionals, not assent.
