The U.S. military was exposed to Musk's "Star Ship": Imagine the "within one hour" global launch of rapid reaction force

According to Radio Radio (RT) today, a US military internal report revealed on Monday that if the situation that similar to the US Consulate in Libya in Libya happened again, the U.S. military imagined how to quickly throw its rescue troops in the past. It is one of the potential military uses of the SpaceX "Starcraft" spacecraft under Elon Musk.

The report involves a cooperation agreement signed by the United States Space Discovery Technology Company (SpaceX) and the US Transportation Command (Transcom) in 2020, but it is still a list of desires of the US military because of the actual application of the "Starcraft" spacecraft to invest in actual applications. a long time.

It is reported that as we all know, the US Transport Command reached a cooperation agreement with SpaceX as early as October 2020 because the US military announced the news at the time. The Pentagon hopes that the "Star Ship" spacecraft will be equivalent to the maximum load of a C-17 transport aircraft-slightly lower than 80 tons, which is equivalent to the load of the weight of a M1 EBrams tank. "In one one Put it to any place on the earth within the hour. "

It is reported that the US news survey website "The Intercept" has obtained a "mid -term report" about the plan, exposing the greater ambition of the Pentagon.

According to the idea of ​​the report, a military "star ship" fleet can provide the US military with "another logistics transportation" in the Pacific region, or can provide "a series of asylum, vehicles, and construction equipment around the world in a short time in a short period of time. "And other equipment", and this allows the U.S. Air Force to quickly gain a foothold locally and establish an air force base.

The third idea was named "Embassy's support", that is, the so -called "fast war zone direct conveying capacity" from the US deployment of troops to the US embassy in Africa, which may involve the "fast reaction force". The U.S. military stated that only this ability "can prevent non -state actors from aggressive operations by the United States."

Although the report itself did not have an analogy itself, this situation was similar to that of the US Consulate in the United States in the United States. The incident caused 4 people, including ambassadors, and they failed to wait for the rescue force.

It is reported that although SpaceX did not comment on the incident, John Ross, a spokesman for the US Transport Command, said that the U.S. military believes that the use of rockets to deploy rapid reaction forces may be achieved in the next 5 to 10 years.

Russian media pointed out that the "Starcraft" spacecraft is still in the trial stage. After a series of explosive accidents, the prototype of the spacecraft in May 2021 successfully landed successfully. In addition to technical challenges, Musk is also applying for relevant procedures for government permission to launch test testing in southern SpaceX facilities in southern Texas.

According to the United States "National Geographic" magazine, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provided preliminary environmental evaluation approval to SpaceX last week, but to obtain a comprehensive permission, the company will also need The other 74 requirements including a report on the background. Even so, FAA's final permit allows only ten times a year. In addition, according to a FAA report leaked in June 2021, the department is worried that SpaceX lacks "strong security culture" in the company.
