Israel.

Neta was furious.

He was not happy that the Syrian civil war had subsided.

Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, which border Israel, have the worst relations with Israel.

These four countries formed an alliance, a true offensive and defensive alliance, which made Israel feel a huge threat, a threat that was a matter of life and death.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

If one country is attacked, the other three countries will take military action against Israel.

This makes Israel dare not act rashly.

In the Syrian civil war, the forces supporting the rebels are self-evident.

Israel’s hostility towards Syria is no less than that towards Palestine.

Because Syria controls the Golan Heights, which is a real military strategic high ground and a thorn in Israel’s side.

As long as Syria controls the Golan Heights, Israel will have no strategic initiative.

The truth is only within the range of cannons. This sentence is not outdated even now.

Any Israeli territory within range of Syrian artillery on the Golan Heights is theoretically unsafe.

Moreover, the Golan Heights controlled by Syria is known as the “water tower” of the Middle East. It has an annual rainfall of 500-800 mm. 40% of the water used in Israel comes from here, and Israel has to buy water from Syria.

The Golan Heights is a truly strategic location, overlooking Israel and the Syrian capital Damascus. Its strategic position can be imagined.

Not a day goes by when Israel doesn’t want to regain control of the Golan Heights.

It has even encouraged the US military to serve as a peacekeeping force and enter the Golan Heights more than once.

It’s just that the United States has always been cautious and has never agreed to Israel’s request.

Originally, Israel thought that the Syrian rebels would grow stronger and at least hold back the Syrian government forces. When both sides were exhausted, Israel would take military action to seize the Golan Heights.

Now this plan has failed with the destruction of the Syrian rebels.

What makes Neta even more worried is the military strength demonstrated by the UAE coalition this time.

This really made Neta very unhappy. After all, the conflict with the Arabs involved living space.

It is inevitable that the UAE coalition forces will intervene in the war in the future.

After all, Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are all members of the Arab League, and theoretically they can all invite the Arab League forces to enter.

At the same time, the United States is also constantly collecting relevant intelligence.

As more and more drones have appeared on the battlefield in recent years, the United States has also been paying more and more attention to drones.

In the field of UAVs, the United States was very early. As early as 1915, the Sperry Company and Delco Company of the United States had developed the first UAV, which weighed only 272 kg and was powered by a 1-kilowatt piston engine. It was mounted on a 30-wheel pulley with rails laid on the grass. Later, Charles of the US Army developed another UAV and named it “Kettering Flying Bug”. The aircraft was a biplane with a total weight of 4 kg, could carry 238.5 kg of bombs, and had a flight speed of 82 kilometers per hour.

In the 30s, Hawkinard of the United States developed a radio remote-controlled machine for target practice for the US Army. In 1939, he developed a high-wing unmanned aerial vehicle named RP-4.

In 1941, the Pearl Harbor incident broke out. Due to the needs of the war, the US Army and Navy began to order a large number of target aircraft, including 2 OQ-984A target aircraft, 3 OQ-9403 target aircraft, and 13 OQ-3548 target aircraft. The latter two target aircraft were equipped with high-probability engines, with a flight speed of up to 225 kilometers per hour and a flight altitude of 3000 meters.

During World War II, the U.S. military used a large number of unmanned target drones, and used piston-engine drones carrying heavy bombs to bomb Japanese targets in the Pacific battlefield. During the war, the U.S. military even planned to convert scrapped B-17 and B-24 bombers into remote-controlled bombers carrying bombs.

After the end of World War II, with the rapid development of aviation technology, the drone family gradually entered its heyday, and the United States has always been a leader in the field of drones.

For example, the famous Global Hawk UAV is a high-altitude, high-speed unmanned reconnaissance aircraft developed by the American Grumman Corporation. It has an astonishing range of 2.6 kilometers, a flight altitude of 1.8 meters, and a flight time of 42 hours. It can take off from the United States and reach any location in the world for reconnaissance.

But like other U.S. weapons and equipment, the Global Hawk UAV is also very expensive. The latest purchase price by the U.S. military is as high as 8000 million U.S. dollars!
Other American drones are very expensive, often several times the price of similar Chinese products, and some are even more than ten times the price.

In the current context of the United States cutting back on military spending, the US military has not been able to purchase drones on a large scale.

The drones on the battlefield now are causing headaches even for the US military.

Because the United States has discovered that drones cause a lot of trouble to the US military. If you want to destroy a drone, the cost is often much higher than the price of the drone.

For example, the purchase price of the US Patriot missile by the US military has reached 200 million US dollars per missile.

How much does a drone cost?
The cost of destroying a drone with a Patriot missile is so high that even the wealthy U.S. military feels the pain.

What’s more, it’s not possible to destroy a drone with just one Patriot missile. Sometimes it takes two or three Patriot missiles.

The cost here is simply outrageous.

How to prevent enemy drones on the battlefield is now also an important research topic for the US military.

The United States pays close attention to every Zhuhai Air Show because it can really obtain useful information and learn a lot at the air show.

The anti-drone weapons and equipment displayed at the Zhuhai Air Show are of reference to the United States.

Such as laser cannon anti-drone system!

It’s not that the United States cannot build a laser cannon anti-drone system, but its cost is ten times higher than that of the “Silent Hunter” vehicle-mounted laser system, which is a headache for the United States.

In other words, it is better for the United States to buy a similar vehicle-mounted laser system from China than to make one.

It’s better to buy than to make!

Furthermore, the increasing number of drones being equipped by various countries has also reduced the gap in military strength between various countries and the US military to a considerable extent.

After all, even African tribal chiefs can afford drones.

At this time, ordinary Americans were not paying attention to Syria. After all, Syria is a small and poor country, and normal people would not pay attention to it. At this time, the United States was paying attention to the second life capsule launch to the moon.

Prior to this, the United States launched a life capsule to the moon. The embarrassing result was that when the life capsule landed, it did not land properly and flipped over.

Can the life capsule operate normally? According to NASA, although the life capsule overturned, it can still operate normally.

This time, the second life capsule was launched again. Once it is sent to the lunar surface, the two life capsules can support 10 astronauts to work on the moon for a long time.

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

At this time, many media came to the scene and were broadcasting live.

On the launch pad, the huge Delta IV rocket stood upright, ready to launch.

The Delta IV Heavy rocket is the largest launch vehicle currently in service and in service in the United States. According to U.S. reports, this rocket can send up to 28.79 tons of payload into low-Earth orbit, 11 tons of payload into geosynchronous orbit where communications satellites are located, and can also send 11 tons of payload to the moon and 8.8 tons of payload into Mars orbit.

As for the ‘Falcon Heavy’ launch vehicle proposed by Musk, it was originally planned to be launched for the first time in 2013, but was later postponed for various reasons and announced to be launched in 2018.

The New Glenn announced by Blue Origin will not be launched for the first time until 2025.

Currently, the Delta IV Heavy is the largest launch vehicle in the United States.

The last time a life capsule was launched, it was carried by a Delta IV heavy rocket.

As for the Saturn V launch vehicle manufactured by the United States in the 60s and 70s, it is said to have a capacity of 45 tons for lunar orbit and 118 tons for near-Earth orbit. It is said that the technical data has been lost and a new Saturn V launch vehicle can no longer be manufactured. The United States is said to have two Saturn V launch vehicles in storage. As to why the Saturn V launch vehicle is not used, it is unclear.

Finally, the Delta IV Heavy rocket carrying the second life capsule began to ignite and launch. The Delta IV Heavy rocket, which is almost 72 meters tall, burst out with powerful thrust and began its journey to the moon.

At this time, detectors on the earth and reconnaissance satellites in space are all observing.

With current observation technology, it is not easy to fake it.

At the same time, China’s reconnaissance satellite in the lunar orbit began to change its orbit, and Yutu on the moon was also making adjustments.

The space station in Earth’s space is also observing this carrier rocket.

The life capsule and the carrier rocket will continuously change orbits in the Earth’s orbit to save rocket fuel. It will take about four days to eventually reach the lunar orbit, and then continue to change orbits in the lunar orbit, and finally make a soft landing on the lunar surface in a suitable window.

The launch of the United States’ second life capsule this time also attracted worldwide attention.

After all, if this launch is successful, the United States will carry out a manned lunar landing next time.

Manned lunar landing has always represented the highest level of Earth’s space exploration.

It’s hard for the whole world not to pay attention.

Moreover, the United States’ “Return to the Moon Plan” will also be a good proof of whether the United States had manned lunar landings, sent astronauts to the moon and returned to Earth.

When the United States manned the moon, the astronauts drove the lunar rover, which is still impressive. The astronauts returned to Earth and were still full of energy, which is simply astonishing.

What kind of black technology the United States has mastered is still a matter of speculation.

The last time the United States sent a life capsule to the moon, it capsized and had to wait until the astronauts arrived on the moon before the life capsule could be righted.

I didn’t even see the lunar rover.

After four days of flight, it finally arrived near the moon and began near-moon braking. It successfully completed space braking, was captured by the moon, and entered a lunar orbit with a perigee of 100 kilometers.

This scene was captured by China’s lunar reconnaissance satellite and sent back to Earth.

Even CCTV is broadcasting live, and because of its leading position in communication technology, the live broadcast is smoother and more people around the world are watching.

CCTV broadcast the event 24 hours a day, constantly recording the flight position and trajectory of the life capsule. The number of viewers ranged from a few million to tens of millions.

The United States’ aerospace technology is also constantly being analyzed.

To be honest, there is no doubt in the world that the United States has the ability to send a spacecraft to the moon.

After all, the Soviet Union sent several lunar probes to the moon, some of which made soft landings.

This time, China’s lunar reconnaissance satellite took close-up photos of the life capsule and sent the images back to Earth.

Finally, after continuous changes in orbit, it reached a suitable window and the life capsule began to softly land. The life capsule showed a parabola, and then when it reached a certain height, the rocket engine started, and the rocket thrust caused the speed of the life capsule to continue to decrease.

When the life capsule reaches a certain height, the rocket separates from the life capsule.

At this time, the life capsule was not high from the ground.

Afterwards, the life capsule’s own thrusters fine-tuned the position and direction of the life capsule.

Just when countless people were secretly praying that the life capsule would land safely on the surface of the moon, an accident still occurred. This life capsule was three kilometers away from the landing site of the first life capsule, and it was also greatly tilted.

“Space technology is high-tech, representing the highest level of human development on Earth. The Americans were able to control the landing site to be only 3 kilometers away, which is already a very high level.” The expert said seriously, “We Chinese have a saying that a slight error can lead to a huge mistake. This also applies to the landing of spacecraft. The error may be only 1 mm, but the actual landing point may be several kilometers or even ten kilometers away.”

“It is said that the quality of the American life capsule is very good. It can still operate at this tilt. As long as the astronauts arrive on the moon, the gravity on the moon is only one-sixth of that on the earth. The astronauts can easily correct it with the help of tools.” The expert introduced: “Two life capsules can help ten astronauts live on the moon for a year. This is a great achievement.”

“According to the plan announced by NASA, the next step is for the United States to land humans on the moon and send astronauts to the moon.”

At the same time, CNSA also issued a congratulatory letter on its official website, congratulating NASA on sending the second life capsule to the lunar surface and achieving a soft landing, thus confirming that NASA did send the second life capsule to the lunar surface, especially the photo of the tilted life capsule, which always makes people laugh.

However, the successful soft landing of the second life capsule on the moon did not make the Americans too happy.

After all, the United States has carried out several manned lunar landings in the past. What is there to be happy about just sending a life capsule to the moon?

You know, CCTV is also broadcasting live broadcasts of China sending robots and Yutu engineering vehicles to the surface of the moon, and construction projects are being carried out every day.

These lunar robots and Yutu engineering vehicles are carrying out construction work 24 hours a day, which is simply like science fiction.

So far, China has 20 robots on the moon and three Yutu engineering vehicles.

All this shows that the China Space Agency is not joking about its plan to carry out manned lunar landing and establish a permanent scientific research station on the moon, but is actually doing it.

What makes the whole world speechless is that the China Space Agency will once again conduct an unmanned lunar landing, sending more lunar robots and Yutu engineering vehicles to the lunar surface to build facilities on the moon.

Every time people see China’s lunar robot and Yutu engineering vehicle, their scalps tingle. Laymen watch the excitement while experts see the details. This not only reflects China’s manned space technology, which can actually send people to the surface of the moon, but more importantly, China’s technological development level in the field of bionic robots and its technical level in artificial intelligence.

From a certain perspective, this is even more terrifying than China’s manned moon landing.

It can be said that all the Made in China 2025 plans proposed by China have been achieved.

It can even be said that it was exceeded.

Back then, when China proposed Made in China 2025, it was met with ridicule and criticism, with people thinking that China was daydreaming.

But China has been working hard step by step. As a result, there are still 2025 years to 10, but China has already achieved the goals set by Made in China 2025.

It is unimaginable that China can send robots and engineering vehicles to the moon and keep them working 24 hours a day.

At least no country in the world can do it at present.

Even if the United States sends a life capsule to the moon, it cannot send robots and engineering vehicles to the moon and then use them to carry out engineering construction like China does.

This not only represents that China has strong communication technology in the lunar orbit, but also that China has built communication base stations on the lunar surface. It also represents that China has conducted in-depth research on the moon and is leading the world in the development of bionics and artificial intelligence technologies.

Although the Chinese Space Agency sent robots and the Moon Rabbit Rover to the moon that time, and the space capsule did not return to the moon, countries around the world could not help but wonder whether there were any secrets in the space capsule.

In other words, is the space capsule part of China’s plan for a permanent scientific research base on the moon?

Unlike the two American life capsules that are tilted to one side or the other, China’s space capsule is completely intact and upright.

People around the world watched the CCTV live broadcast and saw the 80-meter-wide runway on the surface of the moon continue to get longer. It can be said that different people have absolutely different feelings.

On Earth, China is a construction maniac. On the moon, China is also a construction maniac.

The United States’ sending of a life capsule to the lunar surface has indeed attracted a lot of attention, but China’s lunar robots and lunar engineering vehicles constructing roads on the moon are equally eye-catching.

As for Russia, it did not seem to receive much attention for launching a probe to the moon and bringing back 200g of lunar soil.

Because during the Soviet era, the Soviet Union conducted three lunar soil collection missions on the moon using unmanned landers, obtaining 101 grams, 30 grams, and 170 grams of lunar soil respectively. This time, bringing back 200 grams of lunar soil is just a slight improvement over the Soviet era.

Besides, this is not the first time that China has given lunar soil as gifts to friendly countries for lunar research.

Therefore, sending a probe to the moon and bringing back lunar soil is not a big deal, it is just okay at best.

Of course, Russia’s ability to achieve this makes it second only to the United States and China in the world.

Other countries, even the European Space Agency, have not been able to independently send a probe to the moon to collect soil and bring it back to Earth. (End of this chapter)
