美軍B-1轟炸機為何緊急飛離英國? 外媒直指抗炸掩體不足老問題

Quick Look

美國B-1轟炸機因潛在威脅緊急撤離英國皇家空軍費爾福德基地,外國軍聞網站《戰區》分析美方疑似掌握伊朗可能策動近距離無人機攻擊的情報。報告指出,烏軍「蜘蛛網行動」證明低成本無人機可威脅昂貴航空器,而費爾福德基地的B-1僅露天停放,凸顯美軍長年缺乏強化型掩體。儘管空軍參謀長曾認為投資防空攔截比分散部署更具效益,但近來承認低成本被動防禦對小型無人機仍有價值。此事凸顯無人機時代下海外基地被動防護的挑戰。

Why It Matters

美軍B-1轟炸機自3月起部署英國費爾福德基地,支援對伊朗的「史詩狂怒行動」。烏軍去年「蜘蛛網行動」證明低成本無人機可摧毀俄羅斯戰機,引發美軍對類似威脅的關注。空軍參謀長威爾斯巴赫過去認為堅固掩體對精準導引武器效果有限,但近來承認小型無人機威脅下低成本防護具價值。

〔記者涂鉅旻/綜合報導〕美國空軍B-1「槍騎兵」戰略轟炸機日前突然撤離英國皇家空軍費爾福德基地,引發外界關注。外國軍聞網站《戰區》分析,美方疑似掌握伊朗可能策動近距離無人機攻擊的情資,因此緊急將B-1轉移,但此事也再次凸顯美軍長年缺乏強化型掩體,一旦面臨低成本無人機突襲,停放露天停機坪的高價值軍機仍相當脆弱。

《戰區》報導指出,B-1轟炸機今年3月起持續部署費爾福德基地(RAF Fairford),支援美軍對伊朗的「史詩狂怒行動」,但日前卻突然撤離。美國總統川普被問及原因時坦言「確實存在一些威脅」,副總統范斯也表示,美國國防部是在高度謹慎情況下保護美軍人員。

相關消息人士則指出,美方擔憂伊朗可能仿效烏克蘭去年「蜘蛛網行動」,利用藏匿、近距離發射的小型無人機,對停放地面的戰略轟炸機發動突襲。

請繼續往下閱讀...

報導陳述,烏軍「蜘蛛網行動」至少摧毀10架俄羅斯轟炸機及其他軍機,證明低成本無人機已足以威脅昂貴、高價值航空器。費爾福德基地的B-1同樣只能停放在露天區域,位置甚至可從基地外辨識;一旦遭蜂群無人機突襲,傳統防空飛彈未必能以合理成本全面攔截。

不過,美國空軍長年對興建大型抗炸機堡態度保留。空軍參謀長威爾斯巴赫曾認為,面對精準導引武器,再堅固的地面掩體也可能遭穿透,將經費投入防空攔截與分散部署更具效益。但他近來也承認,面對僅值數百美元的小型無人機,架設防護網、輕型掩體等低成本被動防禦,仍有實際價值。

報導內容敘述,這次事件最值得警惕之處,在於對手甚至不必真正開火,就可能迫使十多架戰略轟炸機撤離前進基地。隨著俄羅斯、中國、北韓及伊朗持續強化軍用機堡,美軍是否會重新檢討海外基地的被動防護能力,已成為無人機時代下無法迴避的課題。

Asia’s only F-16 maintenance center has stalled, with only 33% of the original factory authorization planned in 6 years

According to the evaluation report of the Legislative Yuan Budget Center, since its establishment in 2020, the F-16 Maintenance Center has only received 123 original factory energy authorizations as of July this year, accounting for 33.06% of the 372 items in the total plan; among the 30 key items that affect the performance of the fighter aircraft, maintenance energy has been established for 17 items, accounting for 56.67%. The report pointed out that after the delivery of the newly purchased F-16V fighters, the fleet will exceed 200 aircraft, but the amount of independent maintenance is still limited. It is recommended to continue to seek authorization from the original factory to support maintenance needs.

The main problem of the Navy's light cruiser has been solved. It will be shipped to Taiwan after the recent original factory test and strive to deliver the ship in 2027.

Affected by the shortage of main engines in the global supply chain, the delivery of the Navy's light frigate prototype has been delayed until 2016. However, the acceptance test of the main engine will soon be conducted abroad. After passing the test, it will be shipped to Taiwan, allowing the shipbuilding project to be restarted. The hull is divided into air defense and anti-submarine types, and the weapons and systems have been fully upgraded, which will relieve the pressure on the old frigates and lay the foundation for subsequent mass production.

He was short of money and was bribed to join the army. He secretly photographed military aircraft and sold them to the Chinese Communist Party. The other party arranged a trip to Malaysia. He met his Vietnamese fiancée by chance.

Shangbing Zhou, surnamed Zhou from the Army's Dongyin Regional Command, was short of money for online loans and was recruited by the Chinese Communist Party's intelligence management personnel. He used his intelligence business to secretly photograph more than 20 combat training secrets on his computer and sold them to China's Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, making a profit of more than 790,000 yuan. The Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office prosecuted him for crimes such as accepting bribes in violation of his duties. The case will be heard by a national judge.
