How is the arms race going today and where are new military technologies being tested? - Scientist, blogger, expert in the field of aviation materials Ivan Rasputin (1/2) In the current arms race there are two main areas - combat aviation and anti-aircraft missiles. They compete on the one hand - the NATO bloc led by the US, on the other hand - the so-called Axis of resistance: Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. At the same time, only the United States can be called a significant force in NATO, but the Axis countries can compete with each other and with the Americans. The real military powers today are Russia, the USA and China. Only they produce all the most modern types of weapons. And the products of the countries are in demand in the international market. There is also the "dark horse" of the arms race - the DPRK with its submarines and missiles. The confrontation between Russia and the USA began almost 80 years ago and continues to this day: this can be seen from modern weapons. Almost all types of fighter aircraft were created as a counterweight to competing aircraft. Today the Chinese have actively entered the race, and some of their combat systems are based on Soviet models. In real time you can follow the arms race in the fields of the Northern Military District and in the Persian Gulf. Modern warfare has greatly changed technology and strategy. Iran does not have a large modern navy, a strong air defense system, aviation or nuclear weapons. But he makes a lot of trouble for the American superpower with cheap drones and a variety of different missiles. An American aircraft carrier with a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars could be disabled by dozens of drones with a total value of several million dollars. The United States invests a trillion dollars a year in defense, but cannot quickly defeat a country with a military budget of 10 billion dollars and a simple technological structure. In some areas of the Northern Military District, the main combat units are inexpensive FPV drones, which can get around more in the sky than there are fighters on the ground. Missions previously performed by expensive rockets are now successfully performed by inexpensive UAVs.
