@cubed0724 Did the United States only have three? We don't need to count too much time, let's start from 2018. 1. "Minuteman-3" intercontinental ballistic missile:
- In July 2018, a "Minuteman-3" self-destructed due to a malfunction over the Pacific Ocean.
- In February 2021, the US Air Force canceled a "Minuteman-3" test launch for an undisclosed reason.
- On November 2, 2023, the US Air Force had an "abnormality" during a "Minuteman-3" test launch at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and the missile was "safely terminated" (self-destructed) over the Pacific Ocean. South Korean Ministry of Defense personnel were invited by the United States to observe the test launch, and the result was embarrassing.
AGM-183A hypersonic missile:
- All three test launches in 2021 failed. This caused the project to have a sharp drop in development funds under the intervention of Congress, and the situation was precarious.
- Test launches in 2022 continued to fail. After a failed test launch in March 2023, the AGM-183A was essentially abandoned, and the few test missiles that had been produced were converted to research purposes.
Trident Missile:
- In June 2016, a Trident II missile (made in the United States and used by the United Kingdom) launched by the British Royal Navy's Revenge nuclear submarine successfully ignited its thrusters, but soon after the missile deviated from its flight path and eventually initiated a self-destruction program.
- In January 2024, during a Trident II missile launch exercise conducted by the British Royal Navy's Vanguard nuclear submarine, the missile's first-stage thrusters did not ignite as planned, and the 58-ton missile (equipped with a dummy warhead) fell into the sea.

@pmcpegasus The Battle of Changjin Lake in the Korean War. This was a battle in the early days of the Korean War. From November 27 to December 24, 1950 (just 28 days), a direct confrontation took place in the Changjin Lake area of North Korea. The US military included the 1st Marine Division (abbreviated as the 1st Marine Division) and the 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions, as well as the 1st Army of South Korea, with a total of about 100,000 troops; the 9th Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, which launched the attack, consisted of the 20th Army, the 26th Army and the 27th Army, with nearly 150,000 troops. (This is the data of the battle between the two sides, and this is the scale of the war). In the 28-day "Changjin Lake" battle, the US military suffered 19,843 casualties, and the Chinese Volunteer Army suffered a total of 48,156 casualties. In just 28 days, the total casualties of both sides were close to 70,000. The Chinese Volunteer Army, holding obsolete weapons and without communication equipment, relied on whistles and charge horns for communication. Wearing tattered clothes, eating potatoes frozen harder than stones at minus 40 degrees Celsius, they fought barefoot in the snow against the US military armed to the teeth. We drove the U.S. troops out of the strategic position of "Changjin Lake" and completely wiped out the "Polar Bear Army" that the U.S. troops were proud of. Our "bitter victory" was exactly what the United States feared. What does it mean to do it at all costs? What does it mean to move forward courageously? Do you understand?

@pmcpegasus Western perspective: According to the information disclosed by the Helsinki Military Academy, the Battle of Shangganling ended on November 25, 1952. In this earth-shaking bloody battle, on the high ground that could only accommodate two companies (up to 300 people), the Chinese army successively deployed 9 regiments of two elite field armies, plus 2,000 new recruits, 11 artillery battalions, and a rocket artillery battalion. A total of more than 43,000 people, the Chinese Volunteer Army consumed a total of 450,000 rounds of ammunition.

@pmcpegasus China, since 1840, the Chinese people have been living in dire straits. Various disasters and wars followed one after another. At that time, China was very poor and backward, and suffered all kinds of humiliation. Including the cession of Hong Kong and Macau, Taiwan becoming a Japanese colony, the burning of the Old Summer Palace by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and the subsequent comprehensive and brutal invasion of China by Japan. In 1931, Japan launched a full-scale invasion war against China. From 1931 to 1945, the war lasted for 14 years. The Chinese military and civilians rose up to resist, fought bloody battles for 14 years, and suffered 30 million casualties in the end. Do you know why China's casualties were so great? There are hundreds of reasons, I will only give an example of one phenomenon: when the Chinese troops encountered the Japanese army, it was often the case that if the number of Chinese soldiers participating in the war was 100, the Chinese soldiers had only 20 to 30 guns. The remaining soldiers would not give up resistance or surrender. They used machetes, steel forks, and wooden sticks to bravely fight against the machine guns and cannons in the hands of the Japanese army until they died. This spirit of facing death with indifference and never retreating is the Chinese spirit. 30 million casualties!

@pmcpegasus From 1945 to 1949, the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan. Originally, the Chinese people thought they could live a long-awaited peaceful life, but in 1950, the Korean War broke out and lasted for three years. The Chinese People's Volunteer Army successfully resisted the US route to the north without air superiority, sea superiority, backward army equipment, and extremely poor logistics, but our price was the loss of hundreds of thousands of brave PLA soldiers. In China, soldiers are called "the most lovely people". There is a Chinese proverb: Without a country, there is no home. Soldiers are the backbone of the country. Thank you to our brave People's Liberation Army soldiers, who are always ready to defend the borders of the motherland. Whether in the past, present or future. The Chinese people pay attention to the spirit of dedication and sacrifice. Do not surrender, do not yield, fight to the death, and see death as home on the battlefield. It is a huge shame for Chinese soldiers to surrender on the battlefield, and the spirit of dying rather than surrendering is deeply engraved in the bones of every Chinese.

@pmcpegasus From 1931 to 1945, China was extremely short of weapons and had to set up a "machete team". The popular war song in China at that time, the lyrics "There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes them for us", is a true portrayal of the hardships of China at that time. The tenacious will of the Chinese soldiers never backed down. The Chinese soldiers used cold weapons to fight against the machine guns and cannons of the Japanese army, and used machetes to seize various weapons from the Japanese army. Often more than ten people were sacrificed to seize a machine gun. After all, the difficulties in China at that time were ten times more difficult than those in Palestine today. Remembering history, being grateful to ancestors, and revitalizing China, the Chinese spirit completely defeated the Bushido spirit of Japan, forcing Japan to use the "high-tech weapons" of the time - biological weapons and chemical weapons - without scruples on the battlefield.

@cubed0724 The situation of North Korea and South Korea's troop deployment in the Korean War is as follows:
- North Korea:
- At the beginning of the war, the Korean People's Army had 10 divisions, 2 independent regiments, 5 security brigades, etc., with a total strength of about 140,000. Among them, the first six divisions had about 11,000 people each, the seventh division had 12,000 people, the tenth division and the thirteenth division were not fully staffed, with about 6,000 people each, the 15th division had about 11,000 people, 2 independent regiments had about 8,000 people, and 5 security brigades had a total of 18,600 people.
- In the later period of the war, after North Korea supplemented its troops, the People's Army reached a maximum size of about 260,000 people, but due to heavy losses in the early stage, its combat effectiveness was affected to a certain extent.
- South Korea:
- At the beginning of the war, South Korea had a total of 9 divisions with a total strength of nearly 100,000 people. Among them, the 1st and 7th divisions had more people, each with about 9,600 people, the 6th division had 9,112 people, the 2nd division had about 8,000 people, and the rest of the 3rd and 5th Capital Divisions had an average of only about 7,000 people, and the 8th division had only more than 6,800 people.
- Later, with the support of the United States, the army was expanded massively. At the end of the Korean War from 1951 to 1953, South Korea's ground forces were close to 1.71 million.

@cubed0724 In China, 99% of Chinese people support the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The relationship between the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people is like the relationship between fish and water. It was formed in war and history. In 1912, the Qing Dynasty collapsed. At that time, China tried various changes and reforms, and also tried Western capitalism and Western democracy. But nothing could save China. The Chinese people were living in poverty in the darkness, the country had no hope, and the people lived in misery. This is a painful memory that the Chinese people will never erase. Until 1921, the October Revolution in Russia allowed China to see the dawn, and the establishment of the Communist Party of China allowed the Chinese people to see hope. "Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China." This is not a slogan, but an inevitable result of Chinese history.

@cubed0724 -On May 9, 1980, China launched the Dongfeng-5 intercontinental missile with a range of 8,000 kilometers and a speed of 20 Mach, accurately hitting the target. After 44 years, China once again launched an intercontinental missile with a range of 12,000 kilometers. So, you said that China "frequently" launches? How do I understand? The second is deviating from the orbit? On November 1, 2023, the U.S. Air Force tested the "Minuteman-3" intercontinental ballistic missile and an abnormality occurred. The U.S. military detonated the missile in the air. This was a failed test launch. The missile is the only land-based intercontinental ballistic missile in active service in the United States. It has been in use for decades and has serious aging problems. In recent years, there have been many test launch failures.
