Chen Hu Troops: from Libya’s war warning
in the past week, the most popular military news is the war in Libya. From the war broke out, almost all military enthusiasts say the same sentence: another air raid! Indeed, far from the Gulf War, almost all wars, conflicts, where there are large countries participating, all from the beginning of air strikes began, almost without exception! From this we came to the conclusion: danger from the air.
Why risk always comes from the air?
air is often hit these countries in the national security aspects of the short board. Why, then, the short board striking the same, always in the air?
if _ is taking a wider perspective, we found that in 100 years, the danger is from the sea. Because in that era, the era of cutting-edge areas of technical characteristics of the fleet at sea. So we see China’s modern history, China suffered from foreign invasion of almost all of them at sea. In today’s era of technical features, we always see the danger of war from the air. It can be concluded: For a relatively weak country, the national security of the short board always appear in the large industrial areas of cutting-edge technology.
100 years ago, this large-scale industrial cutting-edge technology embodied in the sea; today, is reflected in the air.
how to eliminate the short board on national security?
from a military point of view, against the threat from the air, no more than three words: anti, anti, anti.
“defense” is to hide something, the other side could not beat, not fried. In fact, nearly 20 years of these wars, from Iraq, Yugoslavia to Afghanistan, so they are basically a means of confrontation at the lowest level of “defense” of the level, obviously the light of “defense” is definitely not enough. This is the result of the last 20 years of war has been proven.
To counter the threat from the air, we need a means to the next: “anti”, that is, the so-called fight. Fight to what extent, there is no indicator? When the Gulf War, Iraqi national forces to lay too much aircraft; the Kosovo war, the Yugoslav Federation but also to lay off American F-117. But this number is not enough, that fight should have a sufficient threat of war to make the other feel loss rate. According to the U.S. habit, when deployed combat aircraft attrition rate of more than 2%, the air can not be continued. Looking back at the air phase of the Gulf War, the U.S. military’s combat loss rate is probably less than a millionth. And now the war in Libya, although the U.S. lost an F-15, but according to the present situation reports, and other common law countries have carried out 360 air missions several times, assuming that sent four vehicles according to one calculation, about 1500 sorties. That attrition rate of about one-thousandth. So, the fight is far from this level can not resist the threat from the air.
only against clearly not enough, we also need effective “counter.” To hit each other, and the other hit hurt. In the past we have a theory called “guard the blue sky of the motherland, cast Sea Wall”, in fact, this concept for the external threat of war is far enough. Because the sky, the sea can not constitute a defense, at least in military terms, can not simply tactical defense means victory. This requires that the attack must have sufficient ability to have a counter and combat capability.
From the military to achieve “anti, anti, anti-” standard, then basically you can short board Qi. We see that these countries experienced a war, whether in Iraq or Yugoslavia, including the now Libya, they had purchased from abroad, a large number of more advanced weaponry. However, in this great country from the outside in front of a military attack, basically useless.
here gave us a problem, although from a military point of view, means “anti, anti, anti,” but from a higher level, is that self-defense must be built on the industrial system above the “anti, anti, anti.” To achieve this goal, for the most vulnerable countries, there should be quite difficult. So, for the most vulnerable countries, their national security is often short-board in the air, which is always such a short board, a frequent underlying cause.
a short board will next appear?
filled the air after a short board, you can not sit back and relax? National security of the short board is to produce cutting-edge technology in large industrial areas in the past long time, this cutting-edge technology have appeared in the sea, now appears in the air, where it will appear in the future?
development from now on, we can already begin to see the new short board may appear in the space. This is what we often hear, the “danger from the air,” further evolved into the “future from space.” Of course, there are many times the current cutting-edge areas, such as: networking, biotechnology, etc. In fact, both of these big industries there is any lack of cutting-edge technology, will form a national security of the short board.
From this perspective, in order to truly achieve the country’s national security, must be in all major industrial areas of cutting-edge technology has a good basis for independent research and development production, can truly guarantee their country’s national security.
war-induced factor
past 20 years of these wars, whether the Gulf War, Iraq war, the war in Afghanistan, including the current war against Libya operations, both military threat from the sky, as well as from internal threats.
eggs do not hover flies, which suffered huge losses in the war in the country, almost without exception, or the problems that exist within. The most typical, such as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, by internal division, the civil war, and induce a foreign armed intervention and military invasion. Such as Iraq, its leader Saddam execution of foreign expansion strategy of such a dangerous country, and thus induce an external attack on Iraq, the country and the nation into a war in which the disaster. So, this gives us another revelation is that the internal stability, national security and peaceful development is an important factor can not be ignored.
Libyan war continues, this war will last long, the final results? Now we are making all kinds of speculation and analysis. Every war will bring it to the attention of many warnings, Libya also remains the war will bring us more about the war, warning, this is the future, we must continue to pay attention to.
