NaBrian Terrell, World BEYOND War, October 2, 2022

Cherechedza: Brian Terrell akapa hurukuro iyi pachapupu cherunyararo chaGumiguru 1 chakatsigirwa na PeaceWorksKC, kuWhiteman AFB, pedyo neKnob Noster, MO.

Pamberi pekuratidzira uku pakave nenhaurirano pakati pevarongi nezve mashandiro ezvidhori pano paWhiteman Air Force Base. Iyi inzvimbo yekudzidzira here, kana kuti maReaper drones ari kuita zviitiko zvinouraya, imhondi chaidzo dzakaitwa kubva munzvimbo ino, munguva chaiyo munzvimbo dziri kure nekure? Nepo ruzivo rwekuita kwedrone rwakafukidzwa mukuvanzika, rwakaputswa chete nevanoridza muridzo vakashinga, Air Force inofumura zvakaringana kuti isu tizive kuti mhosva dzine mhedzisiro yepasi rose dziri kuitwa munzvimbo ino.

MunaGunyana 2020, a mupepanhau yakachengetwa pawebhusaiti yaWhiteman yakazvikudza, “The 20^th Attack Squadron ... iri kuWhiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, yakagadzwa General Atomics '2019 Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) squadron of the Year."

Yese mauto ehondo ane zita remadunhurirwa, uye 20^th Attack Squadron inoenda nezita Hellhounds. “Tinozvininipisa zvikuru uye tinoonga kugamuchira mubairo wakakwirira kudaro,” akadaro Lt. Col. Daniel, ane makore 20 okuberekwa^th Mukuru weAttack Squadron, achiwedzera, "Munhu wese musangano reHellhound akashanda zvakaomarara kubatsira kuita basa redu." Col. Stephen Jones vakati, “Kuburikidza nerutsigiro rwavo rwekuzvipira rweOperation Freedom's Sentinel, 20.^th Attack Squadron yakava mauto eUS Air Force anouraya zvakanyanya, akawana 97 muzana yekurova basa.

Iyo Air Force haisi kuuya zvakanyanya pamusoro pezvinoitwa neHellhounds kana kupi. Ndekupi munyika iyo sangano reHellhound rakashanda zvakaomarara zvakanyanya uye kuita basa ripi? Ndiani akafa kubvumira makumi maviri^th Attack Squadron kuti ive "uto rinouraya zvakanyanya" reUS Air Force, uye "97 muzana yekurova chiyero" inorevei kana tichiziva kubva kuAir Force veteran uye muridzo wemuridzo Daniel Hale kuti vashoma pane gumi muzana yevanhu vakaurayiwa muReaper drone chirongwa. zvinovavarirwa here?

Mauto anofarira kutumidza magamba ayo uye kuburitsa maakaundi ehushingi hwekushinga, asi zviri mum nezve kurohwa kwayo. Kazhinji kazhinji hapana chatinonzwa, uye kunyangwe muchiitiko chisingawanzo kana kurova kunouraya kwakaziviswa kana kufukurwa, hazvisati zvaburitswa pachena kuti ndiani akabhururutsa drone, akavhura chombo, pasi pemirairo yake. Kunyangwe kuri kukanganisa kukuru, segore rapfuura muna Nyamavhuvhu 2021 apo nhengo gumi dzemhuri yeAhmadi, vanomwe vavo vari vana, vakaurayiwa mukurohwa nedrone muKabul nekuti baba vakaonekwa zvisirizvo segandanga reISIS-K, kana. mukupondwa kwezvinangwa zvepamusoro-soro semutungamiri weAl Qaeda Ayman al-Zawahiri, akaurayiwa nechombo che drone akamira pamhanza pamusha wake Nyamavhuvhu apfuura, hatimbotaurirwa kuti ndiani wekurumbidza kana kupomera. Vashandi veDrone vanorayirwa kuti varege kutaura nezvemamishinari avo kunyange pakati pavo, mhuri dzavo neshamwari, kunyanya kune veruzhinji; vanoona mhirizhonga pavhidhiyo yepamusoro-soro kubva pakuchengetedzwa kwezvigadziko zvakadai, zviuru zvemamaira kure, asi vanogona kutaura nezvazvo kuna ani zvake.

Makore matanhatu apfuura, Seneta weMissouri Claire McCaskill vakataura kune Springfield News Leader nezve "vatyairi vendege vanoshanda kubva kuUS base vanowanzoenda kumba kumhuri dzavo mushure mezuva rekuita ongororo uye kurohwa kunouraya pazvinangwa zviri kure, zvinogona kuve shanduko inotyisa." McCaskill "akataura kuti panguva yekushanya nevatyairi vendege kuWhiteman gore rapfuura, vamwe vendege vakamuudza kuti vanoshuvira kushanda mashifiti ehusiku, kuti vagone kudzikamisa pfungwa vasati vapedza nguva nevavakaroora kana vana."

Saka, chii chiri kuitika panzvimbo iyi? Hatinyatso kuziva, kunze kwekuti maHellhounds, makumi maviri^th Attack Squadron yakavakirwa pano paWhiteman Air Force Base muMissouri, yakarumbidzwa seUS Air Force "squadron of the year," "chikwata chayo chinouraya." Tinoziva kuti kuti vakwanise kuwana “mubairo mukuru” uyu, vakauraya vanhu vakawanda. Vanhu ava vaive vanaani, munyika dzipi dzavaigara vakafira, vaive vana kana vakuru, vakauraiwa munhandare yehondo kana mudzimba dzavo, nemaune kana netsaona uye nechikonzero chipi, kunyangwe nhengo dzeCongress yeUS hadziziviswe. Ndivanaani maHellhounds eMissouri vari kuvhima nekuuraya mumazita edu panguva ino sezvatimire kunze kwemagedhi aya, isu tingasaziva, kana.

Tava nemakore anodarika gumi tichiuya nemibvunzo iyi. Vamwe vedu vakasungwa, vashoma vedu takapfigirwa mujeri, tichitsvaka mhinduro. Zvichakadaro, sedenda, ma drones pano nepasirese angowanda uye akura achiuraya, achiputika uye achishungurudza, asingagadzirise kunetsana kupi zvako asi kuita kuti rugare ruve nyore. MuUkraine nhasi, madhiragi eTB-2 akagadzirwa neTurkey arikurwira kudivi reUkraine uye Russia iri kuendesa madhirone eShahed 136 akagadzirwa neIran, mukurwisana kuri kuda kuwedzera kuita hondo yenyukireya.

Isu takakokwa pano kuzoratidzira drones, asi mwedzi uno i60^th mhemberero yeCuban Missile Crisis, uye zvakakodzera kuti ticherechedze chiitiko ichocho pano nhasi. The 20^th Attack Squadron pano inzvimbo yakapatsanurwa yenzvimbo ye432^nd Air Expeditionary Wing yeCreech Air Force Base muNevada. Whiteman kumusha kune B-2 "Mweya" inoba bhomba uye 509^th Bomber Wing, kuchengeta zvishoma 136 mabhomba enyukireya pakugadzirira. "Ita Nuclear Operations uye Global Strike ... Chero nguva, Chero kupi!" iye 509^th's mission statement.

Kutyisidzira kwaVladimir Putin kushandisa zvombo zvenyukireya kana dunhu reRussia rikarwiswa kune njodzi, harinei nehanya, uye hazvidzivirirwe. Kunyange kushandiswa sechinhu chisina maturo, tyisidziro yakadaro pachayo imhosva kuvanhu. Hakuna nyika isati yambotyisidzira kutanga kushandisa zvombo zvenyukireya. Hapana kunze kweUnited States, iyo yakafema kutyisidzira kuripo mazuva ese kwemakumi emakore. Kubva Hiroshima kusvika zvino, US yanga iri nyika yega yakabata mutemo wekutanga kushandisa. Kudzokororwa kwazvino kwekutyisidzira uku, iyo 2022 Nuclear Posture Ongororo uye Missile Defense Ongororo, inoti, "United States inongofunga nezvekushandiswa kwezvombo zvenyukireya mumamiriro ezvinhu akaipisisa kudzivirira zvakakosha zveUnited States kana vabatsiri vayo uye vanobatana navo."

Dzidziso yo“kuparadzana kuvimbiswa,” yokuti hondo yenyukireya haina mukundi, yakachengeta rudzi rusingafadzi uye runouraya rwo“rugare” kwemakumi emakore. Ikozvino iri kuderera zvishoma nezvishoma, ichikurudzirwa neUS trillion-dollar chirongwa chekuvandudza uye "kuwedzera hupenyu" kwechinyakare chezvombo zvenyukireya. Zvizhinji zvezvikamu zvisiri zvenyukireya zvezvitsva izvi, zvakanyatsojeka uye zvinogona kushandiswa zvombo zvenyukireya zviri kugadzirwa kusiri kure nepano muKansas City. "Zvakajeka uye zvinogoneka" ndeimwe nzira yekutaura "inogona kushandiswa," uye nezvombo izvi zvitsva, zvinochinjika zviripo, varongi vehondo veUS vari kufunga nzira dzekuzvishandisa. Muchishumo chaJune 2019 neUS Joint Chiefs of Staff, "Kushanda Kwenyukireya,” zvinonzi “kushandisa zvombo zvenyukireya kunogona kuita kuti pave nemigumisiro yakasimba uye kudzoreredza kugadzikana kwehurongwa ... .” Vagadziri vehondo veAmerica vakasarudza kuti hondo yenyukireya inogona kuhwina mushure mezvose, uye Vladimir Putin anoita seanobvumirana. Nyika iri mungozi zvikuru iye zvino kupfuura zvayaiva makore 60 apfuura.

Hapana nguva yekurasikirwa. Mamiriro ese ezvinhu nhasi, kunyanya akawedzera nekushandiswa kweanouraya drones, anokwira kune "akanyanya mamiriro" anogona kutungamirira kuhondo yenyukireya, uye 509.^th Bomber Wing, ipo pano paWhiteman, pamwe nevamwe vayo vekuRussia, pasina kupokana, vakagadzirira “Kuita Nyukireya Operations uye Global Strike ... Chero nguva, Chero kupi! Zviwanikwa zvinodiwa kudzosera dambudziko remamiriro ekunze epasi rose uye kutarisana nedenda riri kukura zvinesu, mukubata kwedu, asi panzvimbo iyo nyika dzepasirese, iyo US yekutanga pakati pavo, inosarudza kuvapambadza muhondo.

Kana paive nechikonzero chekubata kuti kugadzirira uye kurwa hondo kunogona kutichengetedza mudzimba dzedu, kusimuka kwezvombo zvenyukireya nemadrones ane zvombo zvakazvipedza. Hapana sarudzo kunze kwekubvisa zvombo. Ndatenda nekuve pano. Zvinogona kuita sezvidiki, asi zviito zvidiki zvakawanda seizvi zvinogona kureva, chaizvo, nyika.
