US media disclosed that a secret unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft RQ-180 located in Area 51 may have been in use for many years and has deployed Guam to respond to the CCP, but the public is not concerned about it and does not know about it. Recently, some American media claimed that RQ-180 will unravel the mystery and become the core of the air combat revolution!
According to a report by The Drive website in early April, the U.S. unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft RQ-180 will unravel the mystery and become the core of the air combat revolution!
The report said that although the Pentagon silently built the RQ-180, the U.S. Air Force has never officially admitted its existence, and the relevant details are hardly known to the outside world, but based on various public information and analysis, it is still possible to get a glimpse of the whole picture.
As far as we know, RQ-180 may be a high-altitude network node and reconnaissance platform. It can penetrate and continue to penetrate the enemy's airspace. It will undoubtedly become a key player in revolutionary air combat and network ecology in the future.
The Liberty Times quoted relevant reports on April 6 as saying that the RQ-180 is unmatched. This high-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle research and development project includes three development stages. It is currently in the first stage and the project continues. For more than two years, the RQ-180 UAV may be the most important military aircraft in the development of US military aircraft.
At the beginning of October last year, several media reports including Aviation Week and other media reported that a batwing drone that fits the description of RQ-180 was peacefully at Edwards Air Force Base in California in broad daylight in the nearby military combat zone. Fly, the estimated height reached 20,000 feet, leaving a thick high-altitude condensate stream in the clear sky.
This photo was taken by photographer Rob Kolinsky. He posted the photo online at the end of October and said: "This thing flew over my house a few weeks ago. I haven't figured out what it is?"
It is speculated that this is the U.S. military’s most secret RQ-180 high-altitude reconnaissance drone. Previously, Aviation Week magazine disclosed a secret unmanned stealth reconnaissance drone RQ-180 located in Area 51. The drone was developed and manufactured by Northrop Grumman and may have been in use for many years, but the public is not aware of it. This is the first time a photo of a real aircraft has flown.
According to the report, the drone shown in the photo is basically consistent with many hypothetical features of the previously speculated RQ-180 drone. It has a large-span swept flying wing, a simple trailing edge configuration, and closely matched. Double turbofan engine (it looks like there is only one condensed wake), etc.
In addition, from the photo, the RQ-180 high aspect ratio (Aspect Ratio) wing span is larger than other known large drones, but the sweep angle is relatively low.
In 2019, the report also revealed that “increasing evidence shows that this stealth drone has been fully deployed in the U.S. Air Force, and there may be 7 RQ-180s in service.”
The flying wing layout design of this new type of drone is more similar to the B-21 stealth bomber being developed by the US military, but with a slightly smaller size, relying on its stealth capability to pass through the enemy's air defense system.
According to the report, RQ-180 has fully exerted its combat power, performing long-distance intelligence collection, reconnaissance, and launching electronic attacks for the U.S. Air Force, replacing the RQ-4 "Global Hawk" with no concealment capabilities, and in view of the world's high-end opponents Great progress has been made in anti-entry/area denial capabilities. The RQ-180 has features such as long-range, concealment, and high altitude, enabling it to survive and conduct reconnaissance in the most heavily defended airspace.
In September last year, "National Interest" magazine also revealed that some of the RQ-180s have been deployed at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam. The aircraft will play an important role in the military confrontation between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party in the future.
The mainland media also claimed that because RQ-180 is extremely difficult to be detected by radar, the US military plans to use it to detect controversial airspace. Although there is no official statement or picture about RQ-180, more and more evidence shows that , RQ-180 has been put into use in daily frontline missions in the US Air Force, full of mystery.

No fear of Beijing sanctions! U.S. Religious Council vows to continue to speak for the Chinese
Original title: American Religious Council: Without fear of Beijing sanctions, continue to speak up for the Chinese
Editor : Tang Ying / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/04/06/a103089986.html / Direct translation
Not long ago, the CCP announced sanctions on the chairman and vice chairman of the U.S. International Religious Freedom Committee in retaliation for the previous sanctions imposed by the U.S. and Western countries on CCP officials. In response, Perkins, the vice chairman of the committee, said that despite the sanctions imposed by the CCP, the committee will continue to speak out for those Chinese people who desire freedom.
Perkins: Beijing News’s copy of arbitration shows that international pressure has been effective
The Chinese Communist authorities call the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) an "anti-China agency" of the US government, interfering in the internal affairs of other countries in the name of religious freedom. The CCP stated that it prohibits sanctioned persons from entering mainland China and the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, and prohibits Chinese citizens and institutions from trading with sanctioned persons or with sanctioned entities.
Tony Perkins, vice chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, said Beijing’s sanctions are groundless and meaningless. He said that he had tried to go to China many times before to investigate the situation of religious freedom in China, but he had never done so.
He said, why couldn't he go before? Because the Chinese Communist government does not let them go, because it obviously wants to hide something and does not want them to see it. He believes that Beijing’s retaliatory sanctions also reflect that the Chinese Communist Party has begun to feel the pressure from the international community on Beijing’s systematic and serious human rights violations.
Perkins said that many people say that being sanctioned by the CCP is wearing a badge of honor. What he saw was that the CCP realized that they had lost their face internationally and tried to divert people's attention from what they did. These actions were condemned by many countries in the world, and they tried to divert their attention.
He said that neither he nor the U.S. International Committee on Religious Freedom will shrink from Beijing’s so-called sanctions, but will redouble their efforts to continue to condemn the CCP’s serious violations of human rights and religious freedom.
The National Commission for Religious Freedom has consistently criticized the Chinese Communist government. In its annual report, it recommends that the US government list the Chinese Communist Party as a “country of special concern”, and calls on the US government and the international community to pursue the Chinese Communist government’s systematic, continuous, and serious violations of religion. Liberty responsibility.
As a Christian, Perkins said that religious freedom is not just the freedom to choose how to worship and which god some people say. Religious freedom is the ability to live according to your beliefs. Although he does not believe in the religion that Uyghur Muslims believe in, he also believes that they have the right to practice their faith as a family and as a group. This is the believer. They build families and communities. Individuals are part of the community. The CCP government tried to dismantle these communities and dismantle these families. This is what he thinks is the most oppressive and evil place.
In its report last year, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom quoted an independent investigation and research that said that between 900,000 and 1.8 million Uighur and other Muslim minorities were detained in more than 1,300 concentration camps in Xinjiang, and nearly 500,000 Muslim children were separated from their families. The report stated that some people were detained in concentration camps simply because they had grown beards, refused to drink alcohol, or had other behaviors deemed "extreme religious thoughts" by the authorities. The report also said that some concentration camps have been increasingly converted into forced labor facilities during 2019, with detainees being forced to work in cotton and textile factories.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom also warned in June last year that the CCP government’s population control policy against Uyghurs and other Muslims complies with the legal standards of international law regarding genocide. When the Trump (Trump) administration was about to leave office, it determined that Beijing had committed genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang. The Biden administration also officially made this determination in the 2020 Human Rights Report submitted to Congress.
Perkins said that the Uyghur Muslims’ religious oppression and persecution have been paid attention to by the International Committee on Religious Freedom of the United States very early, and it has been highlighted in the first annual report. This religious persecution has been systematic, continuous and persistent. The bad ones are getting worse now.
He believes that even the experience of Muslims alone is enough to classify the CCP as a "country of special concern." In fact, Christians, Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners and other religious believers in China are all suffering the same persecution and oppression.
"For the Chinese (Communist) government I can only say: They are persecuting indiscriminately." Perkins said, "I think it is difficult for the Communist Party to accept religious freedom because all they want is loyalty to the party."
Perkins: The committee operates independently and upholds international human rights standards
The Chinese Communist government refutes allegations of genocide and violations of human rights and religious freedom. Beijing calls those facilities in Xinjiang "education and vocational training centers" for the purpose of de-radicalization and poverty alleviation. Beijing said that the Chinese (Communist) government protects citizens’ freedom of religious belief in accordance with the law, and accuses the United States of International Religious Freedom Commission and other institutions of “interfering in the internal affairs of the Chinese (Communist) under the guise of religious freedom.”
After Beijing announced sanctions on the two heads of the US International Religious Freedom Commission, the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China published an article accusing the commission of being an anti-China institution with "official descent." The article also said that whether a country has religious freedom depends on the relationship between the country and the United States and whether its values conform to the wishes of the United States.
Perkins said that although the US International Religious Freedom Commission is a federal agency with funding from Congress, the commission operates independently and does not obey Congress or the administrative authority. It judges religious freedom based on international human rights standards.
He said: "We are only focused on one issue, and that is religious freedom, which is based on international standards, not religious freedom as the United States thinks. We are based on the "International Declaration of Human Rights" adopted in 1948. ... We Pay attention to the global situation and examine whether the government is systematically and continuously infringing on religious freedom." He said that the committee's responsibility is only to make assessments and provide policy recommendations to the US government. There is no so-called "judgment" power.
Perkins said: They are not "referees" without penalties, but only provide suggestions. They have no right to issue sanctions or label a country as a "country of special concern". They make recommendations based on international standards for religious freedom. Their work is regulated by a law passed by Congress, which clearly stipulates what religious freedom is a country of special concern. That is a country that participates in or allows an extremely severe, continuous and systematic oppression of the people’s freedom of religious belief. These three conditions need to be met.
"Whether it is the US government doing this, or the government turning a blind eye to the violations of non-governmental actors," they will speak out. There is no preference here. They say what they see and then give suggestions. Sometimes the administration will adopt their suggestions, sometimes not.
Perkins said that the research and judgment on the situation of international religious freedom is based on the collection and analysis of various information and evidence, including field trips to various countries. He stated that the committee members could not travel to China due to the refusal of the Chinese Communist government.
He said: “So we don’t have the opportunity to make field trips and can only rely on some reports from China. Of course, because of the way the Chinese Communist Party government operates, a lot of information will not be disclosed. We collect news reports from other countries and other diplomats. We have multiple sources of information, and we don’t just draw conclusions or make recommendations based on a single source."
Perkins: China's religious freedom continues to deteriorate
The U.S. International Commission on Religious Freedom will release its latest annual report this month. Perkins said that for the part of China, there is no need to expect much change. "If there is any change, it is more worrying than a year ago."
In terms of policy recommendations, he said that the committee will continue to call on the U.S. government to use current laws to implement targeted sanctions and urge Congress to pass the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. He said the committee will also call on the International Olympic Committee to reconsider the Beijing Winter Olympics, or urge the Biden government not to send any officials to attend the Beijing Winter Olympics, if the Winter Olympics will eventually be held in Beijing.
Perkins believes that the international community and other countries should also investigate the behavior of the Chinese Communist government in Xinjiang to assess whether these behaviors meet the definition of genocide in international law. He said: "I think they will come to the same conclusion. I think the international community should stand up and tell China that we will not tolerate this."
"Religious freedom is important not only because it is the core human value recognized in the International Declaration of Human Rights." Perkins said that people should have the natural right to believe or not to believe in religion, and there are also data showing that people who embrace religious freedom Societies tend to have more prosperous economies and more stable societies.
He stated that what the U.S. International Committee on Religious Freedom has done is to urge the Chinese Communist government to respect this basic right and speak out for the Chinese people who want to be free, especially those who take great risks to fight for religious freedom and refuse to succumb to the CCP’s oppression. people.
Perkins said: "I admire their courage and courage. This reflects a universal thing, that is the spiritual power of mankind, the desire and desire to connect with the Creator, which cannot be suppressed by the government. We time and time again. I have seen stories like this. The same story, different names."
He also said that the CCP was not the first to try to eliminate religion. Others have tried but failed, and the Communist Party will eventually fail, because you can't kill people's spirits. You can try to set obstacles, but you will never succeed. "If I want to bet, I will put the money on the side of the Chinese people."
