2024.04.21 中國戰略支援部隊解體,航天系統部更名軍事航天部隊 中國解放軍戰略支援部隊遭清洗後之改組 在經過漫長地針對「火箭軍」與解放軍「戰略支援部隊」的大規模內部清洗後,最新消息,2024年4月19日中共中央軍委撤銷解放軍「戰略支援部隊」編制。 原先「戰略支援部隊」下轄之「航天系統部」改名為「軍事航天部隊」,其他部分則因應解放軍實際需求而成立「信息支援部隊」、「網路空間部隊」、「聯勤保障部隊」。 中國解放軍自此成為擁有陸軍、海軍、空軍、火箭軍等四個「軍種」,以及「軍事航天部隊」、「信息支援部隊」、「網路空間部隊」、「聯勤保障部隊」等四個「兵種」的新軍兵種結構組成。 火箭軍 中國國防武裝的目標首先要維繫共產黨執政政權永不改變,再來就是要抵禦外來威脅。尤其是1949年建國以後,來自美國…

2024.04.14 本週國際新聞導覽-伊朗出手打擊以色列報復 4/13 晚間,伊朗從本土對以色列發射200枚無人機、彈道飛彈與巡曳飛彈。大部分受到英國美國與約旦戰機與防空系統攔截,僅少數攻擊到以色列。 伊朗已經表示到此為止的意思,已經攻擊,伊朗人民也上街慶祝,對之前被以色列攻擊死傷的軍民也有交代了,可以到此為止。 但以色列揚言將再反擊。 以色列總理那唐雅胡也致電美國總統拜登,雖然兩人其實根本很討厭對方,但這是一個政治動作,誰都得要做。 此外對於伊朗什葉派宗教與領袖制度進行一番介紹,內容出自幾年前寫的一篇文章。 蘇育平/教宗在伊拉克宗教大和解關鍵 伊拉克沒內爆全因「他」! https://forum.ettoday.net/news/1938398 我們想讓你知道…希斯塔尼完全不與伊朗什葉派…
