美国军队射程1000多公里的超级大炮,能打到上海、北京、南海下马了
The U.S. Army’s Mind-Bending 1,000-Mile Super Gun Is Officially Dead
The gun, based in downtown New York City, could have pummeled targets as far away as Kansas City—if it had worked.
- The U.S. Army is canceling its highly ambitious Strategic Long Range Cannon (SLRC) program.
- SLRC could have struck targets up to 1,150 miles away, much farther than any other cannon ever built.
- Despite an outside scientific review, the Army seems to have been unclear whether or not it would have worked.(不晓得是不是真能打得到那么远)
Originally, the Army pitched the SLRC as a means of conquering the tyranny of distance, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. SLRC guns could be emplaced in the Philippines and strike Shanghai. From Japan, the big guns could hit Beijing itself. The Army saw the guns as targeting Chinese bases and even warships in the South China Sea, clearing a path forward for the Navy and Air Force to advance across the Pacific.
