Will China's cosmic potential exceed US?

In just three years, Chinese armed forces will be able to destroy the US satellite system in the event of a military conflict between the two countries. That is the remark of Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Chief of Staff of the US Army.

This conclusion was drawn on the basis of careful research on the experimental results conducted by the Chinese military in January 2007. At that time, thanks to a special ballistic missile launched from the ground, China has shot down one of its meteorological satellites that is about to expire in orbit.

According to Admiral Michael Mullen, the above test poses a lot of questions that so far are unanswered and therefore 'America cannot help but care about the purpose that has made Beijing actively invest in the development of high-tech weapons'.

On that day, China successfully launched the " Hang Nga - 1" satellite - China's first artificial satellite flying around the Moon. At first glance, the mission of ' Hang Nga - 1 ' is purely scientific: Taking 3-dimensional images of the Moon's surface and studying the electric-magnetic intensity of this satellite.

But in fact, the launch of ' Hang Nga - 1 ' is of great significance not only to the Chinese scientific and political circles (Chinese press even mentioned the possibility of establishing a Party cell above). the universe and the 'colonization' of the Moon). This shocking event also gained special attention from the Chinese military.

According to the US, the Chinese military wants to adopt the control of the " Hang Nga - 1 " flight process to perfect the methods of conducting cosmic wars.

It is not unjustified to control ' Chang'e - 1 ' in the first flight period, China not only mobilizes contact ships in the Pacific and Atlantic but also mobilizes an atomic submarine. of the Chinese Navy. The ship's mission is quite 'delicate ': at a certain stage, it signals and temporarily takes over the control of 'Hang Nga - 1' flight .

The results of that experiment are not yet published but if successful, the Chinese military in the near future will be able to achieve significant progress in perfecting technology to control and dominate the subjects. in the universe.

This prospect is very worrisome for the United States. If this technology is completed, then in the future China can launch different trajectories in the universe, with satellites merely carrying explosives.

If it happens to be in conflict with a certain cosmic power, thanks to the signal transmitted from the ground or from the ocean, these " interceptors " will detect and destroy the cosmic objects of enemy. Chances are, this will be the unique " star wars " of China.

However, according to objective analysts, the focus of the above test is not the military but the economic side. The Chinese cannot help but understand the importance of conquering the Moon and, if at the forefront, can bring enormous economic benefits.

Considering the speed of China's development of space programs, it can be confirmed that China will soon catch up with Russia and the US - two powers that have long been acknowledged to be the leaders in this field.
