Usulungele 'I-Missile Gap' Entsha kanye Nomjaho Wezikhali Wezigidigidi zamadola?

Ngokusobala ukuchitha u-60% wezinkokhelo zethu zentela zonyaka kwezempi nasezimpini ezingenangqondo emhlabeni wonke ezibonakala zidala isiphithiphithi nenzondo eyengeziwe nge-US njengoba sesivele senza manje akwanele. Sidinga ukuvuthela ngisho nangokwengeziwe imali yethu esiyithole kanzima ngezikhali nempi komunye umjaho wezikhali ongenamsebenzi owawungakaze ucatshangelwe, kungasaphathwa ukwethulwa. Emuva ngasekupheleni kwawo-1950 nasekuqaleni kwawo-1960 kwakuyilokho okubizwa ngokuthi “i-Missile Gap” okwaholela ekusetshenzisweni kwemali okukhulu ekuthuthukiseni imicibisholo ecitshwayo emikhulu kakhulu kanye namabhomu enuzi okufanele athwalwe yibona, ukwakhiwa kwama-missile silos abizayo ukuze ahlaliswe. , kanye noxhaxha lwemikhumbi-ngwenya yePoseidon neTriton edubula imicibisholo ukuze izisondeze ogwini lwaseSoviet Union naseChina. Empeleni alikaze libe khona “igebe”. Izobunhloli zase-US zazazi ngezithombe zesathelayithi kanye nezindiza ezinhloli ze-U-2 zokundiza phezu kwendiza ukuthi i-US yayihlale inama-ICBM amaningi kanye nama-IRBM afushane angakwazi ukuletha ama-H-Bombs eRussia kunalawo amaRussia ayenawo, kodwa Indaba engelona iqiniso yokuthi amaSoviet anemicibisholo eminingi kune-US [1] wenze iqhinga. Umjaho wezikhali ezicitshwayo ubuqhubeka.

Manje sithola izindaba ezintsha ezithusayo ku-Pentagon kanye namalungu ezempi eCongress athi "igebe lemicibisholo" elisha liyakhula: Lawo maRusskies akhohlisayo, siyatshelwa [2], "bakha ubuchwepheshe bemicibisholo esheshayo ngesivinini esisheshayo kune-US," futhi baye bagxumela phambi kwethu, benza imicibisholo ye-hypersonic maneuverable yebanga elide le-nuclear cruise engase yethulwe ngamagagasi, indize izikhathi eziningi ngesivinini somsindo, futhi iguqule. inkambo yabo ngokuphawulekayo ekuphakameni okuphansi ukuze bagweme ukutholwa kanye nokuhlangana ngenkathi befinyelela okuhlosiwe e-US.

Kubi kakhulu!

Okungashiwongo umbuzo obalulekile wokuthi kungani iRussia, ngomnotho wayo odonsa kanzima futhi omncane kakhulu uma iqhathaniswa ne-US, kanye neChina, nezinkinga zayo ezinkulu zezemvelo, ezomnotho kanye nezepolitiki zangaphakathi, izonikela ngezinsiza ezibalulekile kulo mzamo wobuhlanya obubodwa. Impendulo ithi i-US, ngo-2002 ngesikhathi sombuso wokuphatha uGeorge W. Bush kanye no-Dick Cheney, ngenhloso yabo ye-neo-conservative yokwenza nokugcina i-US ukuphela kwamandla amakhulu emhlabeni, yashiya phansi i-anti-ballistic-missile. -isivumelwano sokuvinjelwa okwaxoxwa ngo-1972 nguRichard Nixon neSoviet "Evil Empire." Kusukela kuleso senzo sobuhlanya sokuhoxa isivumelwano esabambe iqhaza ngempumelelo ekuhlanyiseni izikhali, i-US, ngaphansi komongameli Bush, Obama kanye noTrump manje, ibisebenza ngokuzikhandla ukuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe be-ABM obuklanyelwe ukuwisa imicibisholo yaseRussia esibhakabhakeni ngesikhathi. isigaba sabo sokwethulwa ngenkathi bebeka amabhethri amasha e-missile aziwa ngokuthi i-THAAD ye (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense), eduze kwaseRussia kanye nomngcele, umgomo wokuba ukwazi ukwethula isiteleka sokuqala sezikhali ezicitshwayo zaseRussia [3], ukuwacekela phansi kanye nezikhungo zokulawula nokulawula zaseRussia, bese kuwisa noma yimiphi imicibisholo ejikijelwayo engase isinde ekuhlaselweni okubulalayo okunjalo futhi yethulwe emuva e-US.

I-Russia ayinazo izinsiza zokuthuthukisa inselelo elinganayo ne-US, ngakho-ke ikhethe impendulo eshibhile, kodwa esebenza ngokulinganayo futhi ebulalayo: ukwakha imikhumbi-ngwenya ekwazi ukucasha eduze kwase-US ngemicibisholo yenuzi engase idutshulwe eduze. ogwini lwase-US, kanye nohlobo olusha lwe-cruise missile okuthi, ngokundizela phansi futhi ngokushesha ngendlela emangalisayo futhi enamandla okushintsha okuhlosiwe ngokuzenzakalelayo uma kutholwa, okungafinyelela ezihlosweni zase-US ngisho nangemva kwesiteleka sokuqala eRussia yi-US.

UTed Hall, isazi sefiziksi esencane esihlakaniphile okwathi, eneminyaka engu-18 ubudala, wabelwa ukuthi asebenze emshinini wokuqhumisa ibhomu le-athomu lokuqala njengengxenye ye-Manhattan Project kwathi, ngemva konyaka ebona i-US isebenzisa ibhomu alisiza ekuthuthukiseni. ngokumelene nezakhamuzi zaseHiroshima naseNagasaki, banquma ukunikezela izinhlelo eSoviet Union ukuvimbela i-US ehlanyiswa ngokucacile ukuba ibe yedwa ebhomu ngemva kwempi. (Ngaphakamisa ukuthi kufanele athole uMklomelo Wokuthula KaNobel ngemva kokushona kwakhe ngenxa yesibindi sakhe nobuhlakani bakhe) [4]. Ngokwenza lokho wasisindisa kulokho kwesaba ngokuvumela ukusungulwa kwebhalansi yenuzi yokwesaba okwathatha amashumi eminyaka futhi kwavimbela ibhomu elilodwa ukuthi liqhumise idolobha futhi. Manje, ngokudabukisayo, konke kubekwe engcupheni njengomjaho omusha - owangempela kulokhu - ufaka amandla amakhulu enuzi emqhudelwaneni oshisekayo wokuba ngowokuqala ukuthuthukisa uxhaxha olusha lwemicibisholo ecitshwayo ye-hypersonic cruise engavimbeki.

Lesi sigameko esibi singagwenywa ngaso leso sikhathi, ngisho namanje, yi-US, Russia kanye ne-China engena ezingxoxweni eziholela ekuvinjweni kwe-hypersonic cruise missile kanye nokubuyiselwa kwesivumelwano se-ABM. Kodwa lesi sixazululo esiphusile sibonakala singenakwenzeka. Osomaqhinga bezempi baseMelika sebevele benamaphupho amanti mayelana namandla amangalisayo alesi sikhali esisha, esihlome ngezikhali ezingezona ezenuzi, ukucekela phansi imikhumbi, ukwephula imingcele yezwe kuqhunyiswa izinhloso “zamaphekula” ngaphambi kokuthi izinhloso zazi ukuthi yini ezayo, futhi kunjalo, ukudlula umncintiswano nokudala i-armada yezikhali ezicitshwayo ezicitshwayo ze-hypersonic ne-nuclear-tipped cruise ezikwazi ukuqeda izivikelo zaseRussia nezaseShayina kanye nekhono lazo lokudubula emuva.

Ungakhohlwa ukuthi uma i-US ibingasongela ukuthola ukuphakama kwemicibisholo ye-hypersonic cruise ingacindezela osomaqhinga baseRussia nabaseShayina bethukile ukuthi bacabangele isiteleka sokuqala e-US, noma ingahle iqale ngephutha ukwethulwa uma icabanga ngendlela efanele noma ngokungalungile ukuthi isongelwa isiteleka sokuqala se-US. Leyo ngozi yangempela yedlula yonke leyo mali yokuxhasa abathengisi bezikhali abafana no-Boeing, u-Ratheon no-Lockheed-Martin obungaphumela emjahweni omusha omkhulu wezikhali ekilasini elisha lonke lezikhali zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu.

Lesi isimo esidabukisayo namuhla njengoba kufanele sigubhe uJulayi 4, isimemezelo sokusungulwa kwe-United States, kanye nokukhululeka kokhokho bethu ebugqilini. Esikhundleni salokho, okuxakayo impela, siphokophele enkathini entsha yokugqilazwa, kulokhu sibhekene namademoni empi nezempi, njengoba abashisekeli bempi eWashington bethola futhi bathuthukisa indlela entsha yokukhetha imali eningi emaphaketheni ethu asevele engenalutho.

Esikutholayo nje iziqhumane.
