When Science Fiction Shines into Reality: Can Anti-Missile Weapons Protect Peace?
Do you still remember the shocking space war scene in the movie "Star Wars"? Dense laser beams piercing the starry sky, space battleships shuttling through artillery fire, breathtaking, now, with the rapid development of science and technology, weapons that once only appeared in science fiction movies, are gradually entering reality, changing the face of war
The picture comes from the Internet
Among them, ballistic missiles as a very deterrent offensive weapon, has been the focus of all countries, it can break through the traditional defense system, the target to carry out precision strikes, known as the "air blade", in recent years, the situation in the Taiwan Strait continues to be tense, ballistic missiles have also become a hot topic of discussion among all parties, so, in the face of this "big killer" is there an effective means of defense? What are the "secret weapons" in the hands of the PLA?
"Phantom" missiles: an invisible threat
To understand how to defend against a ballistic missile, you must first understand how it attacks, unlike traditional cruise missiles, which do not follow a straight but parabolic trajectory, climbing vertically beyond the atmosphere and then diving at extremely high speeds to attack the target, all as swift as a meteor falling
The picture comes from the Internet
This unique attack method makes it extremely difficult to intercept ballistic missiles, and it is often difficult for traditional air defense systems to catch high-speed ballistic missiles, let alone intercept them effectively, so ballistic missiles are also called "ghost" missiles, because they always come suddenly without you noticing, bringing devastating blows
"Shield" vs. "Spear": a contest of anti-missile systems
In order to cope with the threat of ballistic missiles, countries around the world are actively developing anti-missile systems, which is like a contest between spear and shield, in which the attacker continues to improve the performance of the missile, while the defender racks its brains to build a stronger "shield"
The picture comes from the Internet
At present, there are two main types of relatively mature anti-missile systems in the world: one is the "mid-course interception" system represented by the "THAAD" system of United States, and the other is the "terminal interception" system represented by the Israel "Iron Dome" system
The "mid-course interception" system is mainly aimed at intercepting the ballistic missile in the middle section of the flight outside the atmosphere, the ballistic missile at this stage is faster, but the target is also relatively large, and the interception difficulty is relatively low, while the "terminal interception" system is intercepted in the final stage before the ballistic missile enters the atmosphere, which is about to hit the target, and the ballistic missile speed at this stage has been reduced, but the target has also become smaller, and the interception difficulty is greater
The "killer feature" of the PLA: a multi-level anti-missile system
The picture comes from the Internet
As a military power, China naturally attaches great importance to the building of an anti-missile system; after years of development, China has established a relatively complete set of multi-level anti-missile systems, covering all aspects from early warning, tracking, and interception
In terms of early warning, China has powerful space-based and ground-based radar systems capable of detecting and tracking incoming ballistic missiles in a timely manner, and in terms of interception, China has a number of advanced anti-missile missiles such as Hongqi-9, Hongqi-19, and Hongqi-26, which can effectively intercept different types of ballistic missiles
China is also actively developing emerging technologies such as laser anti-missile and electromagnetic gun anti-missile, and is striving to build a more complete anti-missile system to ensure national security

"Asymmetric" Warfare: A New Way of Thinking About Anti-Missile Operations
In addition to the traditional anti-missile system, China is also exploring some "asymmetric" anti-missile ideas, such as using fighter jets to launch air-to-air missiles to intercept ballistic missiles in the booster stage
As we all know, in the initial stage of launch, that is, the booster stage, ballistic missiles are slower and have larger targets, so they are relatively easy to intercept, while fighter jets, as mobile and flexible air platforms, can quickly reach the predetermined airspace and "snipe" enemy ballistic missiles
The picture comes from the Internet
The J-20 stealth fighter currently equipped by the Chinese Air Force has the ability to mount the Thunderbolt-15 long-range air-to-air missile, which has a long range, fast speed, and high accuracy, and if it can successfully intercept a ballistic missile in the booster stage, it will greatly enhance China's anti-missile capability
Guardians of Peace: Technological Development and the Destiny of Mankind
China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development and is committed to maintaining world peace and stability, and the purpose of China's development of the anti-missile system is not to wage war, but to better safeguard peace
The picture comes from the Internet
As the famous saying goes: "If you want peace, you must prepare for war," only with strong national defense strength can we effectively fight and maintain peace, and I believe that in the future, with the continuous progress of science and technology, mankind will be able to find a more effective way to protect peace and create a better future
