5月8日,美国国防部长拉姆斯菲尔德在五角大楼举行的记者招待会上宣布,国防部已取消一项耗资110亿美元的“十字军战士”自行火炮研制计划,这是国防部为实施军事战略调整而采取的措施之一。一天后的5月9日,美国总统布什也通过发言人表示,支持拉姆斯菲尔德的决定,并敦促国会不要试图挽救这一计划。但此举还是引发了国会和陆军的强烈不满。 “十字军战士”火炮是一种重量为40吨的自行式连发火炮,原计划于2008年投入使用。美国陆军已在这一武器研制项目上投入资金20亿美元。然而,作为拉姆斯菲尔德军事改革计划的一部分,美国防部却有意取消这种被称为“冷战遗物”的笨重庞大的武器的研制,以新的高技术武器取而代之。但陆军称它急需这种武器来取代已有40年历史的
On May 8, U.S. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld announced at a press conference held at the Pentagon that the Ministry of National Defense has canceled a $ 11 billion self-propelled artillery development plan for the “Crusader”. This is a plan developed by the Department of Defense for the implementation of the military Strategic adjustment and take one of the measures. One day later, on May 9, U.S. President Bush also said through spokesman's support for Rumsfeld's decision and urged Congress not to attempt to rescue the plan. But the move has also caused strong dissatisfaction with the parliament and the army. The “Crusader” artillery was a 40-tonne self-propelled bursting gun originally planned for operation in 2008. The United States Army has invested $ 2 billion in this weapon development project. However, as part of the Rumsfeld military reform plan, the U.S. Department of Defense has deliberately abolished the development of a bulky and bulky weapon known as the “Cold War Relic” and replaced it with new high-tech weapons. However, the Army said it desperately needs such weapons to replace its 40-year history
