Since the beginning of the Linghe era, from the Ministry of Defense to the Self-Defense Forces, most of the news that has come out has still been "uneven": the larger ones have F-35s crashing into the sea, and the fleet has been grounded for four months before returning to flight; the small ones have surveyed the "land-based Aegis" positions, and there have been low-level mistakes with inconsistent scales; some have changed "Izumo" into aircraft carriers, and there is also a need to tender for "stealth vertical take-off and landing fighters" with painstaking efforts.
"If you die without a whole body, you will die without a whole body, the brothers have been flying simulator for four months, and if you drag it out, I am afraid that I will have to spend public funds to maintain technology in the United States."
No wonder the location is not easy, the original island country is uneven
Fortunately, with the establishment of the "Space Combat Team" in the east wind, the Japanese Ministry of Defense has been fiercely "Showa" in the Japanese people in recent days - of course, the "Showa" here is not the "Showa" of the on-board charge, but the "Showa" of the "Showa special film" after the war.
After all, the name "Cosmic Combat Team" is too much for the middle two, so the netizens can't stop complaining: "As a member of the team who carries out combat missions inside, do you still have to wear strange tights?" This kind of ridicule shows that this "space combat team" not only did not set off a new climax in defending Japan, but also triggered a network carnival, and the consciousness of Japanese young people is really too low!
Japanese netizens quoted this photo with a high frequency of spitting on the "Space Combat Team", which is called one of the "most handsome close-up film Earth Defense Team", from Marutani's Showa special shot "Jambo a". The film is little known in China, but the follow-up to the film- "Thai Ultraman" was thundered to many Chinese netizens that year
The current establishment of the "Space Combat Team" is seventy to one hundred people, not big or small, just in line with our impression, the size of the staff of the "Earth Defense Force Japan Headquarters" in the Showa special film - not only a few combatants who appear the most, but also medical personnel, scientific research personnel, combat staff officers from the troops, plus some ordinary guards who "pounce on the street" in the plot of aliens, almost a hundred people smaller.
U.S. Vice President Pence announced on August 9 that the U.S. Military's Sixth Service Space Force will be officially "open for business" on August 29, and the currently determined establishment is 87 people, which is not bad
No wonder some Japanese netizens said that the establishment of this "combat team" is better than the "cosmic army" in the animation setting, which is too unrealistic to compile, and it is really very suitable for the creation of close-up art.
Pulling a little farther, let's go back to reality - along with the news of the "Cosmic Combat Team", there is also a message that makes people shout "what is the intention":
What is Japan's intention in using the "space combat team" to compile and develop the "killer satellite"?
What Chinese military fans usually call "killer satellites" generally refers to the interception satellites of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, that is, the use of warhead self-detonation to launch metal fragments to enemy satellites to achieve the purpose of accurate destruction. This technology sounds very tall, but it is actually a technology that existed in the late 1960s.
Soviet is series intercepting satellites
Soviet interception satellite tests
After a series of studies that lasted more than a decade, the Soviet Union stopped intercepting satellites in 1982 and began climbing the technology tree of space-based directed energy weapons.
The "polar (Скиф)" space-based weapon platform, unfortunately, is also the end of the street long ago
In 1987, the "Polar" space-based weapons platform failed to launch with the explosion of the "Energy" rocket, and the Soviets who were fooled into "Star Wars" by Reagan had to stop. Although the Soviets were indeed fooled, we can also see from this that as strong as the Soviet Union, space-based directed energy weapons cannot be built casually. At present, the most operable "killer satellite" must be the traditional interception satellite.
Japan's space launch capability is also sufficient to support such operations, as shown in December 3, 2014, at the Tanegashima Space Launch Center in Japan, where the H-2A rocket was launched with the Hayabusa 2 probe
As a country with rich experience in the practice of deep space probes, it is not difficult for Japan to achieve this in theory. However, the violent weapon of intercepting satellites is obviously not in line with the image that Japan needs at present, nor is it the specific content of japan's "killer satellite" as the media calls it: in the media's description of the so-called "killer satellite", more references are also made to the use of electromagnetic waves, mechanical arms and other means of interference.
Although the robotic arm should be used to "catch", the use of the robotic arm to interfere with the other party's spacecraft reminds people of this
However, in the official press release of the "Space Combat Team", the so-called "killer satellite" was not mentioned at all. In the "White Paper on Defense for the 30 Years of Heisei," the good villains also deliberately stated "the threat of space war between China and Russia."However, in the official news of the "Space Combat Team," the Ministry of Defense tried to be accurate in its wording, pointing out in particular that the purpose of establishing the "Space Combat Team" was to prevent the "non-examination satellites" from interfering with Japan's own satellites and thus hindering the work of the ships of the Self-Defense Forces; the task of the combat team was only to monitor space and strengthen the monitoring capabilities by launching new optical telescopes.
There is only the "Yomiuri Shimbun" published, the picture is completely blindly drawn by the "Yomiuri Shimbun", which probably means that "hindering the satellite" is like a shepherd dog in the sky, which can drive away the "killer satellite" of other countries.
The so-called "obstruction satellite" does break the taboo of Japan's demilitarization in space in our view; but in the japanese view, the "obstruction satellite" that uses mechanical arms or electromagnetic waves to work has not yet reached the point of destroying the "Basic Law of the Universe" adopted in 2008, so it really cannot be called a "killer satellite (キラー satellite)".
Although the Ministry of Defense itself has not yet come out to officially announce, after the establishment of the "Space Combat Team", the first major problem to be faced is not to deal with the Mini Version of "Star Wars" between China and Russia, but to monitor the funding of space telescopes that do not review satellites.
On the Space-Related Budget of the Ministry of Defense and Origin in fiscal 2019
No matter where the war is fought, it is all intelligence first, there is nothing wrong with it. If you don't have this surveillance function, what is the "killer satellite" and "obstruction satellite" behind it are empty talk. Japan is not like other big countries can build a bunch of survey ships to run around, mainly relying on ground measurement and control stations, in the aerospace measurement and control has long been surpassed by some up-and-coming stars who like to engage in survey ships and like to build large antennas on the ground; therefore, it is also natural to pay more attention to space-based monitoring in "space operations.".
How many ships are big is great, huh? sorry......
However, the budget requirement for Research on Japan's Space Surveillance System, including space telescopes, is only 33 million yen in fiscal 2019. According to some unreliable sources, the annual income of researchers in Japanese universities and research institutes is between 4 million and 20 million, with an average of 8 or 9 million yen. Therefore, the money of 33 million yen a year can actually not even be paid, and can only be used to do some basic investigation work, so I don't know which year this new space telescope plan can be officially implemented.
The toys of the superpowers at the end of the Cold War, launched nearly 30 years ago, with a total cost of billions of dollars, are still the trump equipment of American space exploration
In this way, japan's space force has just started, and it has fallen into the dilemma of "if you want to achieve it, you have to invest a lot of money" and "it is better to invest too much money than to find a father of american imperialism". If the "Space Combat Team" wants to maintain it, it must find a balance of financial investment. Therefore, the Self-Defense Forces have now chosen to communicate with the US imperialist "space army" that is also in the initial stage, which is not only an obligation as an ally of Japan and the United States, but also has no other way in practical operation.
Without Ultraman, the Earth Defense Forces in the film might have died in bankruptcy before losing to the monsters
No wonder the "cosmic combat team" created by the Ministry of Defense this time is so realistic, and the reality is so shabby that people feel a little shabby, after all, space combat is really very expensive. When I was a child, I always wondered, why did the Earth Defense Force always have so many faces? How many planes are there? Now it seems that showa special photography, honestly do not deceive me!
Want the "Wang Li Cosmic Army"? Then burn the money...
