China and the United States will share space without Russia
Nobody wanted war. War was inevitable. The capitalist path of world development had reached a dead end, there was nowhere left to expand further, which is an indispensable condition for its existence. A global conflict could serve as the only way within capitalism to restart the system.
It is hard not to notice that many countries that may be involved in it are actively arming themselves and preparing for war. Russian President Vladimir Putin voiced our country's readiness to protect sovereignty with the help of new weapons. However, not only the Russian Federation and the United States of America, but also China are participating in international rivalry.
The People's Republic of China has entered the space arms race. China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) is currently testing its own reusable spacecraft in the Gobi Desert. According to the official version, the future space truck is intended for delivery of goods and crews to the planned Chinese orbital station into orbit. With its help, the PRC will also be able to independently launch satellites into orbit.
However, some experts note that the Chinese project is the answer for the mysterious American spacecraft X-37B. On May 7, 2017, the American spaceplane X-37B landed in the United States of America. In space, the "American" spent more than two years autonomously. In near-Earth space, it allegedly spent 720 days testing ion engines. The Americans are launching the X-37B spacecraft into orbit using the Atlas-5 launch vehicle, equipped, notably, with Russian RD-180 engines. Its own engine allows the ominous drone to perform orbital maneuvers.
Information about the true mission of the X-37B is classified, but persistent rumors are circulating about the Americans testing a new type of space weapon. It is known that Phantom Works was engaged in its development since 1999. Visually, the device resembles a small copy of an old-age American shuttle.
The Chinese spacecraft consists of an unmanned carrier aircraft, the so-called "mother", and the spaceplane itself. After being launched into orbit, the carrier aircraft returns to Earth. The spaceplane from the PRC separates from the carrier aircraft after arriving at the boundary of the atmosphere and space. Maneuvering and returning to Earth is provided for on its own space engine.
Chinese rivals of the developers from Phantom Works allow us to assume that their space plane will be capable of a wider range of tasks than simple space transportation: for example, as a strike vehicle for detecting and destroying spacecraft of "strategic rivals". The possibility of using the Chinese space plane to intercept ballistic missiles of "partners" is being considered. With the help of a space drone, it is also possible to destroy ground targets with nuclear strikes.
Is the Russian defense industry capable of giving a timely and adequate response to the potential American and Chinese space threat? Isn't it time to revive the Soviet Buran project in an updated form?
