The "full-domain operations" capability that the US military has long wanted to develop, to maintain global hegemony, but the US military did not expect that it would be China that realized it.
The era of digital warfare has arrived, and the US military has also long wanted to build a "full-domain operations" capability, to contain China and continue to maintain global hegemony.
What is "full-domain operations" capability? You can simply understand it as a cross-platform combat network. That is to say, information synchronization and seamless collaboration across all fields such as land, sea, air, space, cyber, and electromagnetic.
For example, the Changjian 1000, which can destroy an early warning aircraft 4,000 kilometers away. In this case, the early warning aircraft and forward reconnaissance drones lock onto the coordinates of the early warning aircraft, and the information is directly synchronized to the ground command center. After the Changjian 1000 is launched, it is guided by ground radar, then relayed by naval platforms or satellites, and finally guided by the early warning aircraft to make real-time corrections to the target. When approaching the target, the Changjian 1000 uses active guidance.
Coordinated operations among land, sea, air, and space can overturn cognition, allowing land-based cruise missiles to destroy high-value targets such as early warning aircraft. Because carrier-based early warning aircraft are usually stationed in the rear, our fighter jets going forward are risky, but cruise missiles are different.
In the eyes of the US military, this is a redefinition of future warfare, and it is the ultimate goal the US military wants to achieve. Therefore, as early as 2020, the US military incorporated the concept of "Joint All-Domain Operations" into its operational doctrine and planned to achieve full-domain operations by 2028.
However, the US military's efforts have not been successful so far. First of all, the development of sixth-generation fighters has been plagued with problems. In fact, due to complex interests among the defense industry, they cannot achieve unified hardware interfaces, ultimately leading to the US military being able to achieve only single-platform coordination at present.
For the US military, China mastering the full-domain operations capability will form a dimensional strike against the US military. Imagine, when the Chinese 054A encounters a US aircraft carrier, the information is directly synchronized to the ground command center. The US military hasn't even reacted, and the land-based anti-ship missile has already locked on.
This means that any weapon system of China is supported by a powerful system. The superiority of individual weapons has become meaningless. Just like one netizen said, even if we deploy the J-8, it might be able to destroy the F-35 at a higher level.
Then how can the US military play?
