According to media news, US Air Force Minister KFC said in an interview with the media that the Air Force must reorganize to prepare for the war with China.He believes that the PLA has been optimizing and upgrading for 20 years, cope with global war, and deal with the US military in the Western Pacific, so the US military must also make changes.
The Pentagon has announced that it is about to carry out major reforms of the Air Force. There are more than 20 reform measures. It is the largest reform in recent years.
In fact, this is the US Air Force in disguise to Congress
By rendering Chinese military threats to ask for money from Congress, it is a common trick for Pentagon.At present, the US Congress is discussing the government budget for the next fiscal year, and the Air Force has launched such a large -scale reform plan, and emphasizes that it is to "prepare for war with China". The motivation can be said to be very obvious.
It is reported that the Pentagons military expense budget request in 2025 proposed a number of $ 929 billion.Of course, Congress disagreed, only promised to increase the budget of 1%of the military expenses, that is, 890 billion US dollars, which is huge differences from the Pentagon.
The five -corner building is obviously dissatisfied, so the Air Forces reform plan was launched to try to force Congress to make concessions in this way.
From the perspective of Congress, the US defense budget is high enough, and it is increasing every year.But the question is, are these military expenses really used to expand arms? I am afraid it may not be.
The collusion between the US military and military workers is already a public secret.With the current level of combat reserve of the US military, there is no need to spend 7,000 or 8,000 a year. "Worms" appeared. Each US military announced that the cost of purchasing a weapon and equipment was high.I had to add budget, so the US military expenditure budget was also rising.
Originally, the US military expense budget was divided into four major blocks, namely the maintenance and maintenance of active weapons and equipment, new weapon development, new weapon procurement, military salary benefits and various guarantees.However, in recent years, the U.S. military has not been able to develop new weapons and purchase new weapons. The speed of renewal of weapons and equipment has slowed down significantly, and the proper rate of active equipment equipment is also worrying.
Due to the oversupply of the budget, Biden even intended to reduce the purchase volume of the F-35 fighter, cut from 83 original planned to 70, which can save about $ 1.6 billion in expenses.Essence
This is not difficult to understand why the U.S. Air Force throw such an ambitious reform plan at this time.
The strength of the PLA Air Force has also made the Pentagons worry
In the Spring Festival of 2024, the PLA, sea, land, air, and air forces and rockets worshiped the people across the country in a way of do not open their noodles, and at the same time displayed several new types of weapons and equipment.Especially in the Air Force, the growth of strength obviously made countries around the world, especially the Pentagon.
During this unique Spring Festival New Year, the Air Force sent a J-20 stealth fighter, Yun-20 strategic transport aircraft, and the first-time unchecked-7 high-speed high-speed unmanned reconnaissance aircraftEssenceThese models represent the current top level of the Chinese Air Force and also indicate the leap development of future combat effectiveness.
According to external analysis, the PLAs plan is to increase the number of J-20 fighters to 600, equipped with 15 Air Force brigades.As the J-20 fighter has a stronger "turbofan 15" engine with a stronger performance, its production speed and installation progress will be accelerated. It is expected that this goal will be achieved by 2030.
In addition, with the successful application of the domestic turbofan -20 engine, the performance of the Yun-20 strategic transport aircraft has also been greatly improved, and it has begun to be delivered to the Air Force for service.
The emergence of unobtrusive -7 drones marked an important step in the PLA Air Force in the field of drone combat, improvementThe Air Forces drone combat system also greatly improved its situation perception and combat capabilities, and laid a solid foundation for the future information war war of the Chinese Air Force.
For the United States, as the strength of the Chinese Air Force is increasing, the military balance in the Western Pacific is gradually inclined to China.Consultation consideration.
Therefore, the U.S. Air Force carried out a large -scale reform this time, but the purpose was to ask for money from Congress, but to feel the huge sense of oppression brought by the PLA Air Force.If the U.S. Air Force continues to be self -proclaimed, it wont take long, and the Western Pacific region may be offensive and defensive.
