The Impact of Modern Technology in Defense Forces
Do you know that the upsurge of modern technology must be followed by military technology and defense system in Defense Force? Yeah, that is absolutely true! Nowadays, many countries in the world need modern technology to make their Defense Force stronger and powerful. They are really eager to upgrade their weapon and military technology into the newest and modern one. For the big countries such as The US and Russia, they will easily expend more than one hundred billion US dollars a year to purchase and upgrade their weapons in order to face “the cruel of the world” (military defense journal 2005). However, each country will get the benefit by increasing and upgrading its technology.
Many countries in the world would not tolerate if the other countries intrude their territory. They will do all possibility actions to protect their territory and their motherland. Due to that fact, many countries in the world try to develop and upgrade their military technology. In this globalization era, the increasing of military technology is going so fast. A thousand years ago in the Dark Age, people used sword, pike and arrow for war. Hundred years ago they used simple rifle and bayonet. Nowadays, people use stealth jet fighter with atomic bomb for war. How breathtaking is it?
To increase and upgrade military technology is not as simple as you think. It needs long time groundwork and full of twists and turns process. First of all it needs a great deal of money, because to upgrade and purchase new weapon is not low-cost, it is totally high-prized. Secondly, it needs a long time and complicated research to make and upgrade the weapon into the newest technology. And the last, to get great and modern weapon is not a piece of cake, especially for the country that is being embargoed by weapon producer countries such as The US, Russia, England and et-cetera. For example is Libya. This country has been embargoed by western countries since 1980’s; consequently Libya has to find its own weapon in the “Black Market” which is more expensive than in legal market.
After World War II, there were so many conflicts happen in the world such us Korean War, Malvinas War, Vietnam War, Gulf War et-cetera. All those conflicts were happen because of many reasons such as natural resources, the border, ideology, and et-cetera. As a result every country in the world starts to think how to preclude and solve this problem. Some countries think that to preclude the war, every country in the world must upgrade and increase its military technology. Perhaps by increasing its technology there will be no country would underestimate and disturb this country. This is the benefit of having modern military technology in defense force.
In conclusion, we know that to increase the technology in defense force is not as simple as we think. It has many impediments and many things to do. Every country must prepare and protect itself by upgrading and increasing its military technology. When a country has modern technology, there will be no country want to “touch” its territory. Nowadays, with inadequate places and natural resources to live, the possibility of war is still widely open. It means, peace will not last forever. We have to prepare our country to face “the cruel of the world”.
