On the other hand, because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has adjusted a considerable number of military weapons research and development plans, and Secretary of Defense Gates has also become the target of many military fans, because countless science fiction novel weapons were shot by him. In this plane, the United States was indeed prepared to adjust its weapons development program for a short time at the beginning, but soon because of the rapid rise of China, which threatened the dominance of the United States, the United States had to continue to follow up, and even accelerated some weapons and equipment research and development programs.

The F-22 Raptor fighter, which was supposed to be officially put into service in 2005, because China's Black Hawk fighters entered service early, the United States had to invest frantically to protect its superiority in the air, and even if the high unit price was close to 200 million US dollars, the Americans had to grit their teeth and purchase a large number of them, and the Americans made a huge budget to plan to purchase 442 F-22 Raptor fighters, and even so, the US Air Force continued to complain to Congress because the Chinese were equipped with a larger number of Black Hawk and Weilong fighters, Even if it is a one-to-one exchange, the Americans are at a disadvantage.

The U.S. Navy's other aborted NATF fifth-generation aircraft program (i.e., the stealth Tomcat) has also been retained due to various factors, and with the unremitting investment and support of the U.S. Navy, it is also expected to be put into active service in the second half of this year. At that time, although the United States will not be able to catch up with China in terms of numbers, at least the navy and air force will have the equipment to compete with China's fifth-generation aircraft.

The United States and its allies have followed the SCO's JAMTF program and launched a joint combat attack aircraft program, the F-35 Lightning II fighter. The launch of the F-35 is also relatively hasty, mainly because the United States is unwilling to lag too far behind China, so it is bent on keeping up with it at high speed, so it is hurriedly launched this plan, which has been carried out for 3 years, and the prototype X-35 and X-32 have been evaluated, and the X-32 has been brushed down, and the next thing is to see the development of the F-35.

However, it may take at least six or seven years for the F-35 to enter service, and China's J-31, a fighter of the same magnitude, has gradually begun to enter service and supply to its allies. (In the mid-90s, the United States had already completed the merger of several major defense contractors, and several major companies such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon had already emerged.)

The United States is preparing to take action against Yugoslavia this time, and it has also dispatched its latest sharp fighter F-22, with the intention of verifying its combat effectiveness in actual combat, and at the same time, it can be regarded as showing its muscles to China. The U.S. military also gathered three aircraft carriers to form a huge fleet of forty or fifty warships, which sailed to the Adriatic Sea to prepare for a coordinated attack on Yugoslavia. The U.S. Navy and Air Force marched hand in hand, and the momentum was like fire, which shocked the world extraordinarily.

A few years ago, the United States attacked Peru in an air raid, although it also sent three aircraft carriers, but because the target of its own attack was Peru's glorious path, it did not look good, and after a few days of fighting, there was no target, and there was a little bit of a heavy punch on cotton, which made many people slander the Americans for dispatching such a large-scale fleet and air power, and the role of show was greater than that of fighting.

But this time it was different, not only did the United States roll up its sleeves and fight dry, but it also pulled up more than a dozen European allies of the United States to form an air and sea force no less than that of the Gulf War that year, and it was bound to give Yugoslavia, a Balkan power, a good look.

However, the Americans are not able to ravage the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as arbitrarily as they do in another plane, and a major different factor has been added to this plane, that is, China. After Clinton announced his ultimatum to Yugoslavia, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of National Defense issued a statement, saying that China would protect its own interests in Yugoslavia, especially the security of its military bases, and at the same time, if necessary, China would intervene in the Kosovo situation to prevent causing greater humanitarian tragedy and affecting regional and even world peace and stability.

Although this is quite abstract, the meaning is also clear, that is, China will absolutely not sit idly by and ignore Yugoslavia, and the United States and NATO will do what you look at, which will make labor and management unhappy, and labor and management will copy bricks and do you like them.

It's not interesting to just talk about nature, but the action of talking is more attention-grabbing. China's PLA itself is considered to be the world's strongest dispatching and delivery power, and when the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense both spoke, China's naval and air forces immediately took action, which also made the world tremble.

Stationed at the Split naval base, there is a Chinese aircraft carrier battle group, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Jilin, that is, the Ulyanovsk bought from Ukraine. The aircraft carrier happened to be stationed in the port of Split and was only deployed in the second half of last year. Also deployed at Split Naval Base are a Chinese cruiser, three destroyers and two frigates, plus three conventionally powered submarines and two attack and submarine submarines, which are not to be underestimated.

There are more than 60 F-14CN Tomcat fighters on the Jilin aircraft carrier, and at the same time, the J-7B carrier-based attack aircraft at the Split base can be replaced to carry out different tactical missions, which poses a huge threat to the navies of Western countries.

In addition, the Type 001 aircraft carrier Anhui stationed in Mogadishu, Somalia, and the Type 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Shangri-La, stationed in Gwadar, have already set sail from their respective ports to enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal after receiving new orders.

Anhui is the sister ship of the Liaoning, formerly known as the Kuznetsov, which has not served in the Russian Navy for a few days, and carries 24 J-15 fighters, which is slightly weaker than the Type 001 and the US aircraft carriers, but it is also a very tricky existence, and it is still much stronger than the aircraft carriers of other countries except the United States.

The Shangri-La, on the other hand, is a Type 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that has just been put into service, with a full load displacement of 11. 50,000 tons, is the largest aircraft carrier in the world today, the aircraft carrier uses all-electric propulsion, improves the level of informatization, and also uses electromagnetic catapults, not only that, this aircraft carrier is equipped with an iron curtain system, which can be used for five minutes of invincible defense after opening, even in the face of a nuclear explosion.

Originally, it was expected that the construction period of this aircraft carrier might be relatively long, but the big ships gave full play to their initiative and used the mode of engaging in battles to develop this type of aircraft carrier, and finally built two Type 003 aircraft carriers in succession in these years, one inherited the name of the Essex-class aircraft carrier Shangri-La, which was previously taken from the United States, and the other was the Sichuan.

Feeling that it is not enough for large ships such as aircraft carriers to be built only by large ships, Jiangnan Shipyard has also begun the construction of Type 003 aircraft carriers. In addition, the state intends to invest in the construction of a large shipyard in Fujian for the construction of such large warships.

China will also send three aircraft carriers and accompanying aircraft carrier fleets to the Adriatic Sea, which is already close to the US military in terms of scale, and if such a sea and air war breaks out in such a narrow space as the Adriatic Sea, almost no one can imagine the consequences.

However, the two giants of China and the United States are still insisting on sending forces there, like two swordsmen holding swords step by step, and at one moment the tip of the sword will stab each other, or one of them will not be able to bear the pressure and retreat. But in such a public view, the fleeing party may not have the face to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future.

The initiative to start a war is now in the hands of NATO, while China and Yugoslavia are on the defensive. But even if it's defensive, it's an aggressive offensive defense. Four days before the end of the ultimatum, the Chinese PLA troops stationed in Yugoslavia, together with the Yugoslav People's Army, staged a military exercise1. There were 70,000 troops, involving all branches of the army, navy, and air force, and the main content of the exercise was air defense and anti-missile defense.

The J-11 fighters of the Chinese Air Force, which flew thousands of miles away, participated in this training, playing the role of an imaginary enemy and launching a surprise attack on Yugoslavia. Yugoslav Air Force's Yug-5 Sparrow Eagle fighter carried out emergency take-off interception and expulsion, in the setting, the J-11 Black Hawk was originally a fighter with stronger combat power than the Yug-5 Sparrowhawk, and the focus of the Yugoslav Air Force drill was how to defend the airspace in a disadvantaged situation.

Of course, neither China nor Yugoslavia can expect to achieve any real results in this exercise, and the main thing is to show the United States and NATO, China is determined to intervene in the Kosovo situation, and should not misjudge the situation and take risks.

During this exercise, China still revealed a lot of money to NATO, in order to deter NATO and make them throw themselves into the trap. Among them, the Chinese naval fleet demonstrated the ability to defend against saturation attack cruise missiles and intercept aircraft targets attacking inland from the sea, and the US reconnaissance ship wanted to get close to reconnoitre, but was driven out in advance by the 056 corvettes stationed at the Chinese base.

The air defense missile battalion stationed in the southern part of the unit also took out the Hongqi-9 air defense missile, which has been called one of the world's most sophisticated air defense missiles in recent years, and conducted the exercise to defend against a large number of air targets from the imaginary enemy.

China's tough performance has really made some small NATO countries hesitate, especially the people and media in these countries know what kind of opponent China is, and they have protested that their own countries are involved in a struggle that has nothing to do with them, and demand that they withdraw from NATO allied forces.

However, at this time, Clinton once again spoke out, saying that the United States will not be deterred by any difficult threats, that the United States is incomparably strong in its will to safeguard democracy, human rights, and freedom, and called on all allies to also strengthen their will and not to submit to power, because justice and truth are on their side.
