War and Peace: Unveiling the Hidden Costs of Modern Warfare
A loud explosion pierces the sky, and thick, rolling flames shoot up. This is not a scene from a movie, but a common sight after an ordinary rocket artillery strike.
Is the term "ordinary" too derogatory nowadays?
After all, even an ordinary person can hardly afford tens of thousands of dollars. But does a lack of money mean waiting for the flames of war to reach your doorstep?
Is there anything in the world that doesn't require money?
However, let's first do some calculations to understand the costs of modern warfare.
For most people, we know very little about the expenses of modern warfare, so we first need to understand where all this money is spent.
Today, we will take a glimpse into the hidden accounts of modern warfare and reveal the price secrets behind those expensive weapons.
You might ask, does a single shot from an ordinary rocket artillery cost tens of thousands of dollars?
This is no joke! To win a war, you must first prepare a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
Let's see what we need to stock up on: large destroyers cost several hundred million dollars, a stealth fighter jet is worth $100 million, and the prices of these equipment are extremely high.
Of course, supporting missiles and ammunition are indispensable.
A Patriot missile costs $10 million each, while a Tomahawk missile is as high as $250,000 per shot. Even the humble rocket artillery costs $120,000 per shell!
These expenses may seem small, but if a full-scale war breaks out, the cost of ammunition alone is enough to impoverish a nation.
However, for the safety of the country, this money must be spent.
Because peace is too difficult to achieve, but a war can let us enjoy our dreams.
According to research, the annual military expenditure of modern high-intensity warfare reaches as high as $400 billion.
This is enough to make every citizen pay a significant price!
Once war breaks out, we will face enormous economic pressure.
However, those who incite war laugh and play in the rear, deceiving the public, making them spend money and become cannon fodder. This is truly sad.
So, you might ask, is a single shot from an ordinary rocket artillery worth it?
Of course, it is! Are you willing to watch your homeland be trampled by the enemy without doing anything?
We must steel ourselves and spare no expense to defend our country.
Frankly, we all save our money through hard work.
To achieve victory, we must go all out and load our money into the barrel of a gun.
But for the sake of peace, we hope those expensive weapons will never be used.
Nowadays, war is no longer a distant legend; a click can show you the smoke of war.
However, despite the precarious situation, we still hope that war remains just a piece of news and not part of our lives.
One day, even if bullets rain down, we can sleep peacefully at home, not awakened by the nightmare of artillery fire.
Finally, I want to ask you, how much are you willing to pay for the pursuit of peace?
