At the military-industrial feast of the Zhuhai Air Show, the debut of the " Red Flag-19" system was undoubtedly like a blockbuster, directly setting off a storm in the global defense community. This anti-missile system, known as the "Chinese version of THAAD", not only unveiled its mystery for the first time, but also demonstrated its extraordinary ability to fight against hypersonic missiles. At this time, the U.S. Department of Defense may already feel scared. After all, this is a feat that the U.S. military has dreamed of for many years but has never achieved.

"Red Flag-19" not only has an eye-catching appearance, but its strength cannot be underestimated. As a new generation of surface-to-air missile weapon system independently developed by China, the "Red Flag-19" shoulders the important task of China's territorial air defense and anti-missile operations. Its emergence is considered to be an important breakthrough for China in the field of missile defense, and is not just a simple technology display.

From the appearance, the "Hongqi-19" uses an 8×8 wheeled high-mobility truck chassis. This design gives it extremely high mobility and survivability. Each vehicle is equipped with six interceptor projectiles installed in cylindrical launch tubes, which can quickly enter combat status through cold launch. This nearly vertical launch method with a large inclination angle not only effectively reduces the pressure on the launch vehicle, but also enables rapid evacuation during wartime, improving the overall survivability of the system.

The kinetic energy killing warhead used by this system can completely destroy incoming missiles through direct impact. It is considered to be one of the most accurate and effective anti-missile technologies currently. This technology enables the "Red Flag-19" to provide a reliable defense option when facing the threat of medium and long-range ballistic missiles.

CCTV's comments clearly pointed out that the "Red Flag-19" has the ability to resist gliding maneuvers and penetrate advanced missiles in the atmosphere. This undoubtedly shows that China has found and mastered the technical methods to deal with the "Aerial Ghost" missile. Even if the hypersonic missile flies in the atmosphere where its performance advantages are superior, it will be difficult to escape the precise interception of the "Red Flag-19".

While China is demonstrating the "Red Flag-19" system, the United States' anti-missile program is still trying to catch up. For a long time, the Pentagon has tried to maintain its advantage in the field of hypersonic weapons, but reality has gradually revealed the shortcomings of the United States. The United States currently does not have hypersonic missiles in service, but China is not only leading the research and development of these weapons, but also developing defense systems that can effectively intercept them.

Such obviously asymmetric progress may make the Pentagon uneasy. What is even more exciting is that the "Red Flag-19" appeared at the Zhuhai Air Show, allowing countries around the world to see its export potential. According to foreign media reports, Middle Eastern countries have become the first possible customers. The interception capabilities of the "Red Flag-19" undoubtedly provide a brand new option for those countries seeking to enhance their defense capabilities.

So, why can "Red Flag-19" complete the gorgeous turn from research and development to exhibition in a short period of time? This is not only about mastering its technical details, but also the result of a series of strategic considerations.

With the appearance of "Red Flag-19" in the international arms market, it will inevitably trigger a new round of competition in missile defense technology around the world. Whether it is for potential customers or military powers such as China and the United States, "Red Flag-19" symbolizes not only a technical and tactical victory, but also a profound impact on the future international strategic pattern.
