U.S. Delays Minuteman III Missile Test Amid Tensions Over Taiwan
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the delay to avoid further inflaming relations with China, White House says
白宫发言人说, 美国国防部长下令延后测试(义勇兵三型洲际弹道飞弹)避免进一步恶化与中国关系
Taiwan has become a key front line in the U.S.-China rivalry, with both countries ramping up military posturing in the region. WSJ explains why the U.S. is displaying support for the self-ruling island that China sees as part of its territory.
The Biden administration postponed a routine test launch of an Air Force Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile to avoid escalating tensions with Beijing during China’s show of force near Taiwan, national security spokesperson John Kirby told a briefing on Thursday.
拜登政府延后例行的义勇兵三型洲际弹道飞弹发射, 避免因中国在台海展示武力产生的紧张情势进一步升级
China deployed scores of planes and fired live missiles in the Taiwan Strait on Thursday, a day after US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a trip to the self-ruled island. China considers Taiwan part of its territory and has never renounced using force to bring it under its control.
The US Air Force had planned to conduct the test launch this week, Kirby said, but it will now be rescheduled for the near future.
(国防部发言人这是旧职称)美国国家安全会议发言人Kirby说, 原本美国空军预期在本周进行试射, 而延期测试时间目前未定
“As China engages in destabilizing military exercises around Taiwan, the United States is demonstrating instead the behavior of a responsible nuclear power by reducing the risks of miscalculation and misperception,” Kirby said.
"相对于中国用军事演习制造台海不稳定局面, 美国展示出核武大国应有的尽责态度, 并降低产生误判误算的风险" (Kirby说的原句)
“We do not believe it is in our interest, Taiwan’s interest, the region’s interests, to allow tensions to escalate further, which is why a long-planned Minuteman III ICBM test scheduled for this week has been rescheduled for the near future,” he said.
"我方认为让紧张情势继续升级, 对于我国(美国), 台湾, 整个区域的利益都没有好处. 这是为什么我方要长期以来进行的义勇兵三型洲际弹道飞弹测试, 从本周排定好的时程延后"
In April, the US military canceled a test of its Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. That delay had aimed to lower nuclear tensions with Russia during the ongoing war in Ukraine.
四月(我去查实际上是三月)美国军方取消了另一次的义勇兵三型洲际弹道飞弹测试, 上次延后测试是为了降低与俄国因俄乌战争产生的紧张情势
The nuclear-capable Minuteman III, made by Boeing, is key to the US military’s strategic arsenal. The missile has a range of 6,000-plus miles (9,660-plus km) and can travel at a speed of approximately 15,000 miles per hour.
波音造的义勇兵三型洲际弹道飞弹的参数, 射程6000英里(96000公里)以上, 时速15000英里(20倍音速)
心得感想：
义勇兵三型洲际弹道飞弹虽然已经不断更新, 但依旧是冷战时期的陆基ICBM. 已经通过预算在这个十年内会以新的哨兵系统取代. 不过这次跟上次俄乌战争爆发的宣告, 个人感觉政治象征意义比较大. 在警告其他核武大国美国不是不敢再次用核武. 有点像是拍拍剑鞘警告不要轻举妄动
另一个比较有关的是我去查到底这个名义上一样是飞弹测试的落点在哪. 美国人在测试也该会事先画禁飞禁航区吧. 然后在很不起眼的地方发觉预定会在马绍尔群岛周边. 就是以往美国在太平洋测试氢弹的地方, 赔偿岛民从五十年代赔到前几年都还在赔. 百分之百马绍尔居民对美国老是找他们当武器试验场很不爽吧
