How exactly is China's space warfare so much missed in America?
Original title: Rui | Chinese space warfare reference on exactly how the strength, he was thinking of America -- Reference News Network reported on September 23rd in Hongkong, Asia Times Online September 13th published an article that China is under construction including anti satellite missile, laser weapons, GPS jammer and killer satellite, high-tech space weapons system, which will enable China have an advantage in the future military conflict. The article said that the United States think tank of the National Institute for public policy research has just submitted a report entitled "foreign space capabilities" research report pointed out that Chinese forces have the ability to attack and destroy or interfere with 1900 km to 35000 km orbit 500 US satellites, between the lines revealed on the China prowess "deep concern". For various versions of the "China Threat Theory", the world has long been common. As a pioneer of the militarization of space, the "blow" Chinese space warfare capabilities, nothing more than to create a space in the imaginary enemy, for their own military space for more funding and reasonable development. This reflects the fact that China's space warfare capabilities have made considerable progress in recent years. China's research into the integration of space and air has begun since the 90s of last century, and Dong Wenxian, a researcher at the then air command, put forward the concept of "high-altitude three-dimensional airspace control". In this century, some researchers have realized that the air force must expand vertically into outer space while the Navy extends its blue water range laterally. The subject spawned two monographs: the aerospace battlefield and the Chinese air force, published in 2004, and the aerospace integrated operations in 2006. In 2003, a Chinese scholar defined Aerospace integration operations in the paper: air power, structures, operations, and the integration of aerospace, air defense and space defense. Including aircraft, cruise missiles, satellites, orbiting space station and space shuttle in combat equipment, while also including air-to-air missile to air missile, missile, and high power lasers, high power microwave weapon, particle beam weapon, as a new concept weapon. Over the range of operations, the day - to - day integration will see the space battlefield as a "seamless whole", no longer clearly distinguishing the outer space and the inner space of the atmosphere. Under the guidance of the above theory, China has now shown a certain space warfare capability. In the anti satellite / missile field, Chinese on 2007 with the rise of anti satellite kinetic energy missile successfully destroyed at 863 km altitude has failed C weather satellite, in the next few years, Chinese have conducted a number of anti satellite missile test and midcourse missile test. In addition to the anti - defense and antimissile systems, China is also actively exploring hypersonic aerospace vehicle technology, once the defense needs, the technology can be transformed into air and space combat force. China tested a hypersonic glide vehicle for the first time in January 9, 2014, foreign media reported. Washington freedom beacon reported that the success test enabled China to become the third country to have hypersonic vehicle technology after Russia and the United states. In the last 3 years, China has carried out 7 tests on the ultra high speed glide vehicle, of which 6 were considered successful. In 2016, China established a new service - the strategic support troops, the army's main mission is: to support the battlefield, the PLA has local advantages in space, network and electromagnetic space battlefield, ensure operation smoothly. Specifically, strategic support task force includes: establishing and maintaining space security infrastructure, complete the space-based reconnaissance and surveillance on the target and task of the battlefield space mapping and navigation security; take electromagnetic space and cyberspace defense mission; safeguard national security and stability in space and cyberspace. The formation of the army also confirms China's attention to space warfare in the future.
