During the Falklands War, the two sides used a lot of missiles in the battle and achieved amazing results on the battlefield. Therefore, people in the military circles all over the world called this war "the first battle in the missile era." The advanced weapons used in the Falklands War include all kinds of tactical missiles, guided torpedoes and laser-guided bombs, which are now collectively referred to as precision-guided weapons. The British army used air-to-air, air-to-ship, ship-to-air, ground-to-air, submarine-to-ship, anti-tank and other guided weapons; The Afghan army also used tactical missiles such as air-to-ship missiles, shore-to-ship missiles and ground-to-air missiles. There are 17 kinds of precision guided weapons used by both sides, which are more models, more advanced quality and more outstanding results than the tactical missiles used in the fourth Middle East War in October 1973. From the process of Falklands War, we can clearly see the actual effect of precision guided weapons in combat.

　　Guided weapons show their magical powers

　　Since the Afghan army occupied Falklands on April 2, on April 5, Britain formed a task force of 44 warships, 22 auxiliary ships and 45 merchant ships, sailing for 13,000 kilometers and arriving in Falklands waters on April 24. Britain also announced a 200-nautical-mile air and sea blockade of Tsushima Island. On May 1, the British army sent a Vulcan bomber to take off from Ascension Island, refueled in the air and flew over the island for a long distance, and carried out the first air raid to destroy the airport facilities in Afghanistan. Then the air raid was continued by 12 Harrier fighters taking off from the aircraft carrier, and the AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missile carried by the Harrier aircraft shot down Argentina’s first aircraft. Since then, the battle of guided weapons against guided weapons has begun.

　　Sink the Sheffield.

　　On May 4th, the British Navy guided missile destroyer "Sheffield" was discovered by Argentina when it was carrying out a warning mission in the waters north of Falklands. The Argentine side immediately sent a fighter-bomber with "super flag" to launch an AM-39 "flying fish" air-to-ship missile (with a length of 4.7m, a diameter of 0.3m, a launching weight of 650kg and a range of 38km, inertial and radar guidance). This kind of missile is a short delay fuze warhead, which exploded in the cabin after breaking a big hole and penetrating the hull. Immediately, all the power, lighting and fire fighting systems in the ship were destroyed, causing a fire in the central fuel tank, and the middle of the warship was full of toxic smoke. Four hours later, the captain ordered the ship to abandon.

　　A "flying fish" air-to-ship missile worth only $300,000 sank a ship worth $100 million in one fell swoop, claiming to be the most modern destroyer in Britain, which shocked the whole world.

　　Anti-aircraft missiles are heroic

　　In mid-May, the marine corps and army units of the inter-mixed ship arrived around the island one after another, ready to land, and set up air defense around the task force. The first layer of defense, by "Harrier" fighter carrying AIM-9L "Sidewinder" air-to-air missile (missile length 2.9m, missile diameter 0.12m, launch weight 84kg, range 18km, infrared guidance), is responsible for air patrol.

　　The second layer of defense, a ship-to-air missile equipped by two types of warships, and a "sea javelin" ship-to-air missile equipped for type 42 destroyer (the length of the missile is 4.36 meters, the diameter of the missile is 0.42 meters, the launch weight is 550 kilograms, the range is 80 kilometers, and the radar command and terminal guidance); A "Sea Wolf" ship-to-air anti-missile missile (with a length of 2 meters and a launching weight of 82 kilograms) equipped for the 22-type frigate is designed to attack high-altitude targets, but it can also intercept enemy planes flying at ultra-low altitude after quickly adjusting the missile fire control system in combat.

　　The ship-to-air missiles of these two types of warships constitute a "missile air trap." The third layer of defense, consisting of three or four surface ships’ artillery and ship-to-air missiles, is responsible for driving away the attacking Argentine aircraft. The fourth layer of defense consists of the small-caliber artillery on the assault ship’s troop carrier and the "Sea Cat" ship-to-air missile (the missile length is 1.48 meters, the missile diameter is 0.16 meters, the launch weight is 65 kilograms, the range is 3.5 kilometers, and the radio command guidance), and the "Light Sword" surface-to-air missile (the missile length is 2.24 meters, the missile diameter is 0.13 meters, and the British army deployed on the beachhead position after landing on the island. The "blowpipe" individual carries surface-to-air missiles (the length of the missile is 1.35 meters, the diameter of the missile is 76 mm, the launching weight is 18 kg, the shooting height is 1,800 meters, the range is 4,800 meters, and the radio command guidance), and the "Stinger" individual carries surface-to-air missiles (the length of the missile is 1.2 meters, the diameter of the missile is 70 mm, the launching weight is 9.5 kg, and the range is 4,800 meters) These four layers of defense constitute a large-depth, multi-level and dense air defense firepower network, which implements air blockade and obtains air superiority in local sea areas.

　　In this war, the British army lost 36 aircraft of various types, including 6 Harrier fighters, 4 Harrier GR3 fighters and 24 helicopters. The Afghan Air Force lost 117 aircraft of various types, of which 86 were shot down in the air and 31 were destroyed on the ground. Of the 86 planes that were shot down, AIM-9L equipped with Harrier, 17 were shot down by air-to-air missiles, 6 were shot down by Harrier, 5 were shot down by Sea Wolf, 8 were shot down by Sea Javelin, and 8 were shot down by Sea Cat.

　　In all, 72 Afghan planes were shot down by British air defense missiles, accounting for 84% of the total number of Afghan planes shot down, and 14 Afghan planes were shot down by artillery, accounting for 16% of the total number of planes shot down. The proportion of air defense missiles shooting down planes is so large that there have been many war cases in the missile era: in 1972, the US military shot down 32 B-52 strategic bombers in the battlefield of Vietnam by northern Vietnam, of which 28 were shot down by surface-to-air missiles, accounting for 90%; In October 1973, 449 planes were lost by both sides in the Fourth Middle East War, of which 62% were shot down by air-to-air missiles. This shows that the outstanding achievements of tactical missiles on the battlefield are impressive.

　　Tactical missiles have the upper hand

　　The Afghan army also used its own tactical missiles in various battles. In addition to the sinking of the British missile Sheffield by a flying fish missile on May 4th, the Roland surface-to-air missile (with a length of 2.4m, a diameter of 0.16m, a launching weight of 63kg, an altitude of 3,000m and a range of 6,500m, and guided by radio command) deployed in the Argentine port once shot down the British tuna.

　　On May 25th, the Afghan Super Flag fighter launched two flying fish air-to-ship missiles and sank the British 10,000-ton Atlantic Transporter. On June 11th, Argentina deployed a "flying fish" shore-to-ship missile (with a length of 4.12m, a diameter of 0.3m, a vertical launch of 720kg, a maximum range of 37km, and inertial and radar terminal guidance) on the Argentine port, which severely damaged the British destroyer glamorgan. There is also the "Sea Cat" ship-to-air missile equipped on the "May 25th" aircraft carrier, and the "Sea Cat" missile was not used because the naval ship did not participate in the battle in the later period. However, after all, because Argentina has few types and fewer tactical missiles, it can’t be manufactured at home, and it is totally dependent on imports or subject to foreign countries. Foreign countries have banned the sale of missiles and there is no source, so that the Argentine army can’t use tactical missiles in all kinds of battles in the air or on the ground, and has to use conventional artillery and bombs to attack the enemy. For example, 24 British planes were shot down in battle; Except for one British plane shot down by a "Roland" surface-to-air missile, the rest were shot down by Afghan ground anti-aircraft guns and small-caliber artillery.

　　British missile

　　In the battle, the British army not only used AIM-9L air-to-air missiles, sea javelin, sea wolf and sea cat ship-to-air missiles, light sword, blowpipe and stinger air-to-air missiles, but also equipped the Bobcat helicopter with "sea gull" air-to-ship missiles (the missile length is 2.8 meters. Sink a patrol boat and hit two. Britain also equipped the "Hunting Fan" maritime patrol aircraft with the "Fish *" air-to-ship missile (3.84m in length, 0.34m in diameter, 500kg in launch weight, inertia and radar terminal guidance) as the main weapon of anti-ship. The British army also equipped the Vulcan bomber with the Kuzu air-to-ground anti-radar missile (with a length of 3 meters, a diameter of 0.2 meters, a launching weight of 177 kilograms and a range of 20 kilometers, guided by electric radar), and successfully attacked the Argentine ground radar station in Afghanistan. After the British army landed, it immediately deployed Milan-style anti-tank search bomb (the bomb is 0.75 meters long, the bomb diameter is 110 mm, the launching weight is 6.3 kg, and the infrared tracking wired guidance) at the beachhead position, which is very effective.

　　British lightsaber air defense missile

　　Modern warfare has entered the missile era, and the weapons used in the Falklands War are the tests and inspections of precision-guided weapons. Because the whole process of guided weapons from finding the target to completing the attack is controlled by accurate guidance system, the attack distance, hit accuracy and destructive power are far beyond the scope of traditional artillery. Therefore, the development and use of precision guided weapons will greatly increase the destructiveness and cruelty of war. Precise guidance of Wu Jing and the soldiers in the war will also become more and more important.

　　The Falklands War has passed, but the experience and lessons of Falklands War still exist. In summing up the experience and lessons of this war, Britain said that the basic elements of winning are: firm determination and command of leaders, well-trained officers and soldiers, advanced guided weapons and equipment, flexible combat and tactics, and advanced guided weapons are placed in an important position to win.

"Commando-style" tourism is still hot, and another way of tourism has quietly emerged, that is, "City Walk", a city walk.

The city walk originated in London, England. Tourists visit the city on foot under the guidance of professional tour leaders. After walking, everyone will exchange ideas, so this is not only a way of traveling, but also a kind of knowledge sharing and socialization. There is only one keyword: slow, walk slowly, look slowly, and feel slowly. Recently, this kind of relaxed travel style has been on the rise, and many people say that this is the real deep tour.

Of course, I don’t have any problem with the "special forces" travel mode, but I thought it was impossible to keep it hot for a long time. The overdraft of super physical strength and the exhaustion of punching cards are destined to make this kind of travel only a short-lived game for lively young people.

Therefore, the rise of city walking coincides with its meeting, and it is also a re-examination and return of the significance of travel. The so-called travel must not be a cursory tour, it must not be a rush to punch in, it must not be getting on the bus to sleep and getting off the bus to take pictures, but observing and understanding with curiosity and discovering the multifaceted nature of the city. On this road, we can see the mountains and water, see all beings, measure the earth with our steps, and look for unique human geography in the city. This, perhaps, is the deepest meaning of travel.

China news agency, Beijing, December 14 (Reporter Ying Ni) Lu Yingchuan, Vice Minister of Culture and Tourism of China, revealed on the 14th that in the first three quarters of this year, there were 342,000 commercial performances in China, with a box office income of 31.54 billion yuan (RMB, the same below) and 111 million people attending performances, which was a significant increase over the same period in 2019.

The Press Office of the State Council, China held a press conference on "Accelerating the Construction of a Cultural Power and Promoting the High-quality Development of Culture and Tourism" in Beijing on the 14th.

Lu Yingchuan introduced that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has strengthened the guidance and support of stage art and art creation, implemented a series of art creation projects in the new era, and organized the exhibition of outstanding plays of stage art, fine art exhibitions and other activities. In the first 11 months of this year, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism hosted 27 exhibitions, with 900,000 offline audiences and over 1.8 billion online viewers. A number of stage art works that show Chinese aesthetic style and are full of distinctive flavor of the times, such as dance drama Wing Chun, Cavalry, Yue Opera Xinlongmen Inn, and national opera Daughter of the Party, have been generally welcomed and praised.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism promotes the improvement and efficiency of the urban and rural public cultural service system, builds a new public cultural space, develops digital public cultural services, innovatively implements cultural projects that benefit the people, and holds mass cultural activities such as "Village Evening" and square dance performances. By improving cultural and economic policies, implementing the strategy of driving major cultural industry projects, actively cultivating new formats and models, launching a series of consumption promotion activities, and carrying out special rectification such as performance ticketing and script entertainment, the cultural industry has achieved rapid growth. In the first three quarters of this year, there were 342,000 commercial performances nationwide, with a box office income of 31.54 billion yuan and 111 million audience, up by 121.0%, 84.2% and 188.5% respectively over the same period in 2019.

At the same time, the tourism industry has accelerated its recovery this year. Du Jiang, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, bluntly said at the press conference that "the tourism market this year can indeed be described as hot". He revealed that in the first three quarters of this year, domestic tourism in China reached 3.67 billion person-times, and tourism revenue reached 3.7 trillion yuan, up 75% and 114% respectively. The substantial increase in residents’ travel has not only promoted the expansion of related consumption, but also promoted economic recovery.

He said that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism will further promote the deep integration of culture and tourism, cultivate new consumption formats and new models, and innovate and upgrade music festivals, concerts and other products. Promote the healthy development of new formats such as script entertainment and tourism performing arts, and promote the integration of food, performance, sports, health care, Chinese medicine and other fields with tourism.

Walking along the blue coast of South France, Yuan Qi came across an antique motorcycle jacket, and Cui Jian’s music just sounded in his ear, so the old memories of old Beijing were passed on in the texture and texture of second-hand clothes. The creative director and founder of BUERLANGMA (RYZYORYUAN) believes that the concept of circular wardrobe can give sustainable responsibility and feelings to the whole fashion industry chain.

He shared this view at the "Forces of Fashion". It is reported that since 2016, the event has been held in London, new york and other places, and it has become an annual event in the fashion industry that brings together creative pioneers, artistic talents, industry elites and cutting-edge topics. This year’s agenda and discussion have added sustainable issues.

The concept of sustainability implied by ancient culture just responds to the waste of fashion design industry. According to the data of China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association, about 26 million tons of old clothes are discarded every year, which is expected to reach 50 million tons by 2030, with a recycling rate of less than 1%. According to the report of The New York Times, about 15%-20% of the cloth in the production process of clothing is wasted because it has not been "actuarial" and designed, and countless discarded fabrics are finally thrown into landfills.

In this grand event, besides exploring the resource recycling model, the discussion around "sustainable fashion" has also contributed more views from different dimensions. An obvious trend is that "sustainability" is becoming one of the important labels of the whole fashion design industry.

"The use of second-hand clothing can prolong the service life of clothing, reduce the burden of consumption purchase and production for the society to a certain extent, and contribute to the rational allocation of resources and environmental protection. It is a sustainable market circulation model." A researcher from the energy group of an international environmental protection organization told Wall Street that this model reduced the negative externalities caused by commodities to the environment.

According to what Wall Street has learned, second-hand clothing is divided into different value types according to factors such as time and usage, among which retro clothing is the most representative. Retro is to lead the new fashion through the elements of the old times, while retro clothing refers to the presentation of design elements in a certain historical period in today’s clothing products, full of nostalgia and classic style; At the same time, it also represents a generally recognized product concept, that is, fashionable products with a certain style produced during the 1920s to 1980s, which are called "Vintage" and "antique".

This natural integration of fashion style and sustainable concept provides a model worthy of reference for sustainable fashion. At present, the restoration of ecological resources has become a hot topic, and the meaning of sustainable clothing design as an effective strategy to solve this problem has also expanded to a deeper distance.

"Different from the traditional clothing development and production mode, sustainable clothing design not only pursues the aesthetics and comfort of clothing, but also takes the benign development of ecological environment as the most basic purpose, carries out scientific design practice from a systematic and long-term perspective, reduces a large number of energy and resource consumption caused by overproduction and over-packaging, reduces the generation and discharge of a large number of pollutants such as waste water and waste during production and transportation, and highlights the value connotation of ecological environment in all links." An insider who has been tracking and observing the green transformation of the fashion industry for a long time told Wall Street what he saw and heard at the scene.

According to Mackenzie’s "The Fashion on Climate" report, taking textiles as an example, at present, less than 1% of textile waste is recycled to make new products. Therefore, as far as the current market share is concerned, the proportion of fashion sustainable goods is still not high, and many brands still have a lot of room for improvement in the research and development and application of sustainable materials.

GFA organization pointed out that based on the continuous improvement and maturity of technologies such as recycling, the fashion industry should achieve 80% recycling of resources in 2030, which will require enterprises to focus on exploring the resource recycling model and increase investment in new technologies such as recycling technology. On-the-spot view also believes that the effective link of fashion, natural resources and environmental protection will be the key to realize this responsible vision.

The definition of fashion industry by the United Nations Sustainable Fashion Alliance includes the whole process from the extraction of raw materials to the end of the product life cycle, which also includes the recycling elements of material reuse, repair/reuse and recycling.

Redesign of existing waste fabrics, such as "fabric recycling", changes the original appearance of fabrics through artistic design techniques such as folding, folding, weaving, shrinking and stacking, giving them a unique texture and texture, and innovative design concepts of carbon neutrality, such as green chemistry, green synthesis and plastic recycling, have also appeared in this brainstorming of fashion.

At the grand event, from the contemporary design of China in MARKGONG’s futuristic fashion, which was mentioned by actor Chen Bige, to the minimalism of modernism aesthetics that influenced Proenza Schouler, and the concern about the situation of multi-groups caused by a photo, it was shown that fashion, as an aesthetic or trend in a specific period, designed life from multiple dimensions-how to shape self-image and lifestyle. What kind of work and social circle to choose, or even what kind of values to follow, are closely related to the leading power of fashion culture.

However, academic research has found that under the background of post-epidemic era, the concept of consumption has been remolded, and the concept of environmental protection and spiritual needs have become its important value shift. Modern people pursue higher emotional needs such as beauty and fashion, show their individuality and seek green environmental protection. The design with the label of "temperature and feelings" can arouse emotional resonance, and the design thinking has changed from traditional material-oriented to emotional-oriented, and the material design has gradually changed to service-oriented design.

Sustainable design is a thinking mode that considers economic, environmental, moral and social issues in a balanced way. It is intended to think about design itself, guide and meet consumer demand, and it is a practical process of deep thinking on the relationship between human development and environmental issues and continuous seeking for change in the design field, emphasizing the organic combination of "man-machine-environment".

According to the analysis of on-site industry insiders, after accurately focusing and subdividing the audience, it should be an important value orientation of sustainable fashion to build the context of their emotional needs, and convey the spiritual and cultural value connotation through sustainable design symbols.When the designer indirectly conveys the sustainable ideas and intentions such as environmental protection, recycling and low-carbon life to the audience through "redesign", consumers reach the design ideas conveyed by the designer by understanding the "story" behind them, which then causes emotional resonance and precipitates unique culture and brand symbols.
