Now the world press is discussing the parameters of the U.S. military budget for the next fiscal year, which begins in the month of October. In addition, this document gives a lot of information about the acquisition of weapons and strategic areas of defense.
So, we learned that due to delays in the adoption of a carrier-based version of the F-35 allocated funds for the purchase of new fighters F/a-18 to complete the operation of aircraft carriers. There you see that the drones on aircraft carriers is not a drum machine, and the tank with functions of communications and intelligence. That is, the carrier would hang out in the combat zone several drones that will land to refuel fighters. Everyone understands how important it is. In addition, a discussion was held concerning the format of the warships of the middle class and the budget shows that it is far from complete. And of course, this paper demonstrates that States are increasingly purchasing high-precision munitions.
But more important are the items of expenditure by regions or areas. We noted a fourfold increase in the funding of American troops in Europe (http://slavaukraine.net/en/news/latest-news/3566-finance-usa-and-romances-russia.html). It is clear that this action is a response to the strengthening of the Imperial replenishment of brain in Russia, but it is minuscule compared to what is spent on the strengthening of troops in the Western Pacific ocean. In the States makes no secret that this measure is a response to the strengthening of the PLA as a consequence of the resumption of expansionist rhetoric of Beijing. Tellingly, respond to changes in Chinese foreign policy not just in Washington. Those who can by its own efforts to ensure its security, now re-equipment of its army. In particular this applies to countries that have territorial disputes with China. Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, and India, of course, large-scale re-equipment of their armies.
In addition, countries are U.S. allies, are seriously engaged in forming a United front in case of aggression from China. Suffice it to recall the fact that Japan took a half-century ban on the use of armed forces outside of Japan. As we know, in the industry of this country almost instantly able to provide a vast amount of weapons the entire range, from vehicles and tanks, to planes, missiles and even nuclear weapons. None of these countries has made no secret about the source of military threat.
This raises the question: What is Russia? The impression is that the General trend in the alignment of the defense against China, in no way affected Russia. It can be clear, if China was building its armed forces, similar to Victorian England, with a common scythe in the Navy and almost no army. In this case we can clearly see the vector expansion — the sea. But China leads the escalating power of the ground forces at the same pace as the fleet, and possibly higher. Thus, the defense of the land border China has long provided an order of magnitude less effort. And expansive China's neighbors. So China, in particular, prepares to land expansion. Of all the neighbours, only the Russian Federation and the Republic postsovka are in a coma. Moreover, Russia is almost completely removed combat-ready troops from the border with China parts and threw them on the border with Ukraine. This makes Russia a unique country in General. China is surrounded by countries that it is difficult to raise your defenses that don't do anything and only the Russian Federation weakens their borders.
Someone can say that Moscow and Beijing — the world, friendship, chewing gum. But keep in mind a few things. Russia and China are not allies in the military sphere. China has already practically does not depend on the supply of Russian defense industry and, indeed, the Russian defense industry is increasingly moving to Chinese high-tech components. Chinese element base is already on new tanks, planes, missiles and radar. As for the agreement on the recognition of borders, sovereignty and other things, Russia itself has demonstrated that it is, in principle, they were not going to comply. It is enough to remember Putin's passages about boundaries. Therefore, if the Russian Federation believes that the Treaty is a useless piece of paper, it needs to be ready for what someone decides to do the same.
It is clear that the Russians are willing to say that at the right time they will return to the troops — nothing! The plane is not much of nanosilica, and heavy equipment for a week to go on the railroad. And in this case, China is enough to destroy two or three bridges in the district of Omsk or Novosibirsk and the war for the Far East immediately ends. The presence of nuclear weapons in the Russian Federation for China — no problem. Losing 150 million people in a nuclear conflict for China, minus 10% of the population, and the Russian Federation — total extinction. Especially, China are preserved entire newly built cities that are easy to fix, if that.
It follows from this simple conclusion. Attacking those who stupidly weakens your defenses and gets shot. Ukraine did and got his shot, but Russia is now doing exactly the same thing. All this is well illustrated by the example of the U.S. military budget. By the way, neither Russia nor China defense ledgers so don't twist that promises a lot of surprises in the very near future.
