Original title: hypersonic missiles, UAVs... Western media inventory of weapons to dominate the future battlefield
Reference News reported on September 13 that the Spanish global website published a report entitled "weapons that will dominate the battlefield of the next generation" on September 10. The full text is excerpted as follows:
Since 2000, there has been a problem in the extensive media coverage of concepts such as UAV or cyber warfare, that is, how will weapon systems develop in the next few decades. Michael O'Hanlon, an analyst of Brookings Institution, put forward in his report "prediction of military technological change 2020-2040" that "the change of war technology in the next two decades will be faster and more significant than that in the previous two decades".
Hypersonic missiles are only one of the weapons considered to dominate the battlefield in the coming decades. Others include the evolution of systems we have seen in the post-9 / 11 conflict, such as swarms or high-speed UAVs; It seems that unmanned tanks commanded by artificial intelligence will also appear; Even weapons reminiscent of science fiction, such as lasers or microwaves, should not be excluded.
In fact, in hypothetical future conflicts, hypersonic missiles are often regarded as one of the weapons that rival countries will use to attack U.S. aircraft carriers. Lieutenant general Jon hill, director of the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA), recently made such a statement. He told the US Senate that "our aircraft carrier faces the threat of hypersonic missiles entering our opponent's arsenal".
At the same time, Russia has said that it will use hypersonic missiles in response to the missile defense system deployed by the United States near its border. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made this statement on July 20. Shortly before that, the Russian army successfully tested a "zircon" cruise missile with a speed of Mach 7.
