A new generation of Russian and Chinese-builtlong-range air-to-air missiles could threaten the critical nodes that enableU.S. air operations. Those nodesinclude the AWACS, various intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)assets, aerial refueling tankers and electronic attack aircraft.

新一代的俄罗斯及中国制远程空对空导弹有能力威胁美国空中行动的关键节点。这些节点包括预警系统、各种情报、监视及侦查(ISR)设施，空中加油机及电子战军机。

The people who work at the Pentagon ought to consult thecomment sections on yahoo before they make decisions in regard to technologyand weapon development. They could save a lot of time and money by runningthings by the on line experts. The same holds for military strategy andprocurement. All the best generals are on Yahoo

五角大楼应该在作出技术及武器研发决定前咨询一下雅虎的评论区。这样一来依靠这些网上砖家可以大为节省时间和金钱。至于军事策略和军备采购同样适用。最好的将军都在雅虎。

I guess no one here has ever heard of inertial guidancesystems. These are quite advanced now and are viable backups to GPS. There isalso old fashioned radio location and navigation. It is also important tounderstand that GPS does not cover then entire globe. US already is quiteprepared for GPS outage situation and trains for and conducts exercises forthat scenario. This is no problem for us whatsoever. The AWACS and refuelervulnerabilities I cannot speak to though.

我猜混这里的各位都没听说过惯导系统。现在的惯导系统非常先进，是GPS的重要备用系统。还有老式的无线电定位和导航系统。必须要了解的是，GPS并不能覆盖全球。美国对于GPS系统失效早已是有充分准备，多次做过应对演习。对我们来说完全不是问题。预警与加油系统的脆弱性我没法评论。

I think the author needs to re-research what capabilitieswere being used in Vietnam... Though primitive by today's systems, there wereairborne command and control, ISR, and even laser-guided munitions (PAVE Sword,Paveway-I, etc.) I think some of the KC-135 air to air refuelers are stillflying, too, though they may all be upgraded to the R model by now...

我认为 作者应该重新研究一下越战。。。我们那时的系统可能相对现在而言比较原始，但是当时已经有了空中指挥和管制、情报监视及侦查系统、甚至还有激光制导武器（铺路剑、宝石路-I型等），有些那个年代的KC-135加油机可能还在服役中，也许都已经升级到了R型。

You have such way with words. Like I said: we are a 3rdworld country
trying to defendourselves.

你玩弄字眼真有一套。就像我说的：我们只是第三世界国家，只是想要保护自己。

So Russia and China now have the same capabilities to damageterrorist Amerika as terrorist Amerika has to them
What of it ?
It's calledmutually-assured destruction.
Does terroristAmerika snivel because it can no longer bully and coerce ?

所以说俄罗斯和中国现在同样都有摧毁美帝恐怖主义的能力，就像美帝那样
那又怎样？
这就是所谓确保相互摧毁
美帝哭泣是因为不再能欺负和胁迫别人了吗？

They could also try to carpet bomb the White House forkilling the prez, which would have the same effect: proportional response andeventually, MAD.
Remember: trying to disrupt the enemy's activities over an area isdifferent from taking GPS down. That implies a whole other level ofconfrontation than just a frontier skirmish.
But if things come to that, I agree the US should be prepared and havebackup plans.

他们还可以地毯式轰炸白宫、杀死总统，这样等同于：对等报复，最终同归于尽。
记住：在一个地方破坏敌人的行动不等于破坏GPS。这个就不是小冲突而是另一个层次了。
如果事情发展到那个地步，我同意美国应该有应当的预案。
