据中国国防部消息，2022年6月19日晚，中国在境内进行了一次陆基中段反导拦截技术试验，试验达到了预期目的。这一试验是防御性的，不针对任何国家。

China conducted a land-based, mid-course missile interception test within its territory on the evening of June 19, 2022, and the test had achieved the desired test objective, the Defense Ministry said. The test is defensive in nature and not targeted against any country.

中段反导拦截技术目前仅有少数国家掌握，所要对付的主要是敌方的中远程弹道导弹和洲际弹道导弹，这也是目前数量最多的一种核武器投掷工具，围绕它们而来的国际博弈，往往影响巨大，有时甚至会直接导致国际格局的重要变化。

At present, only a few countries have mastered the mid-course anti-missile interception technology. The technology is targeted at are the medium and long-range ballistic missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are the most used nuclear weapons.

从中国第一次进行陆基中段反导拦截试验到现在，已经过去了12年时间。在此期间，许多国家在发展自己的中远程弹道导弹方面动作频频，在某些地区甚至出现了“导弹竞赛”和“高超音速竞赛”的势头。此外，这类武器在实现更高打击精度、提升突防效能、增强投掷能力方面取得了不小进步。特别是与高超音速滑翔飞行器的结合，客观上让中远程弹道导弹变得更难对付。

It has been 12 years since China's first ground-based mid-course anti-missile interception test. During the 12 years, many countries have been developing their own medium and long range ballistic missiles, and there was even a momentum of "missile race" and "hypersonic race" in some regions. The combination with hypersonic glide vehicles also makes medium and long-range ballistic missiles more difficult to intercept.

当然，中国的中段反导拦截系统肯定也会根据现实威胁，依托技术积累和进步，不断进行迭代升级。目前，中国陆基中段反导拦截的整个装备体系不仅能克制仅具有简单突防能力的中远程弹道导弹，或许还能够有效应对包括高超音速飞行器在内的各种新威胁。

Of course, China's mid-course anti-missile interception system will be iteratively upgraded based on real threats. At present, the entire equipment system of China's land-based mid-course anti-missile interception can not only restrain medium and long-range ballistic missiles with simple penetration capabilities but may also be able to effectively deal with various new threats including hypersonic aircraft.

值得注意的是，在中国国防部发布的消息中，点明了这一试验是防御性的，不针对任何国家。这与以美国为代表的某些国家形成了鲜明对比。

It is worth noting that the Chinese Ministry of Defense pointed out in the news that this test is defensive and is not aimed at any country. This is in stark contrast to some countries represented by the US.

美国等国家在国际军控领域肆意“毁约退群”，严重损害国际战略平衡和互信，同时还在发展包括新一代洲际导弹在内的核武器运载工具方面动作频频，还企图在别国部署中程导弹，甚至将“萨德”“陆基宙斯盾”等反导系统前推到中国家门口部署。

In the field of international arms control, the US and other countries wantonly "break the contract and withdraw from treaties", seriously undermining the international strategic balance and mutual trust. At the same time, they also make frequent moves in the development of nuclear weapons delivery vehicles, including a new generation of intercontinental missiles. They also attempt to deploy medium-range weapons in other countries and even push anti-missile systems such as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and the land-based Aegis Ashore missile defense system to the door of China.

在维护区域和世界秩序稳定方面，中国陆基中段反导拦截试验的成功具有十分重要的意义。它充分证明了，中国在该领域技术积累深厚扎实、装备体系完备可靠，已经具备了相当的实战化水平。这对那些肆意挥舞“核大棒”，意图进行“核冒险”的势力来说，无疑是非常有效的遏制。

The success of China’s land-based mid-course anti-missile interception test is of great significance in terms of maintaining the stability of the regional and world order. It fully proves that China has deep and solid technology accumulation, a complete and reliable equipment system in this field, and has achieved a considerable level of actual combat. This is undoubtedly a very effective containment for those forces who would wantonly wield the "nuclear stick" and intend to carry out "nuclear adventures".

此外，中国在公布陆基中段反导拦截试验的相关消息时，非常及时和快速。相关消息有时甚至赶在试验当天连夜发布。这种透明坦诚的态度充分体现了中国作为一个负责任大国的担当，是对美西方指责中国国防“不透明”的有力回击。

In addition, China is very timely and fast when it comes to releasing relevant news about the land-based mid-course anti-missile interception test that was released overnight on the day of the test. This transparent and candid attitude fully reflects China's responsibilities as a responsible major country and is a powerful response to the US and the West's accusations of "opaqueness" in China's national defense.

就在此次陆基中段反导拦截试验的两天前，中国海军首艘弹射型航母福建舰正式下水。如果航母是矛，那中段反导就是盾，这两项国防科技领域的重大成就，依靠的是中国自己的力量。毫无疑问，这是值得中国人骄傲的事情。

Just two days before the ground-based mid-course anti-missile interception test, the Chinese navy's first catapult-type aircraft carrier Fujian was officially launched. If the aircraft carrier is the spear, then the mid-course anti-missile defense is the shield. These two major national defense science and technology achievements are based on China's own strength. There is no doubt that this is something that Chinese people are proud of.
