Protesters march in Panama against the contract extension for a huge copper mine_我的网站

一 |     最近一段时间中国空军连续与外军展开联合训练，先是与泰国空军举行了“鹰击‑2026”联合训练，然后是与埃及空军举行“文明之鹰‑2026”联合训练，与此同时中国空军和阿联酋空军之间的“猎鹰盾牌-2026”联合训练也即将打响。通过连续几场与外军的联合训练，可以看到近些年我空军在迅速强化自身实力的同时也在积极与外军展开相互切磋，这对我空军实战力的提升会有积极的意义。    PANAMA CITY -- Protesters blocked streets across Panama on Monday, demanding the government rescind a contract to continue copper mining in a biodiverse region.Teaching and construction unions led calls against the contract with environmentalists, saying continued development threatens forested land and crucial groundwater just 75 miles (120 kilometers) west of the capital, in the state of Colon.Across Panama City, peaceful protesters handed out fliers, but in some areas on the outskirts of the capital police met protesters with tear gas. In anticipation of the largest marches since a cost of living crisis last July, both the Department of Education and the University of Panama cancelled classes. The government used social media to highlight the “enormous contribution” the mine — Panama's largest private investment ever — makes to the country's economy.In March, Panama's legislature reached an agreement with Canadian mining company First Quantum, allowing its local subsidiary, Minera Panama, to continue operating a huge open-pit copper mine in central Panama for at least 20 more years. The mine was temporarily closed last year when talks between the government and First Quantum broke down over payments the government wanted to receive.Protests began after President Laurentino Cortizo signed off on that contract on Friday after it was approved by the congress.The president acted surreptitiously, according to Fernando Abrego, leader of Panama's Association of Teachers union. “The government decided this confrontation by quickly and expeditiously approving a contract they know is rejected by the people,” he said.Teachers were joined by construction workers, who are one of country's most powerful labor groups. “The people are in the streets in defense of sovereignty," said union leader Saúl Méndez, "in the face of a contract that cedes self-determination by devastating the environment to steal resources.”It is unclear how persuasive these arguments will prove against the economic boon of a single mining site that already brings in 3% of the nation’s gross domestic product. Minera Panama says the mine will employ thousands of Panamanians and that its shipments make 80% of the country's total exports.The new contract, initially slowed by labor disagreements, secures Panama at least $375 million a year from Minera Panama, over 10 times more than the previous deal. It represents one of the largest national mining contracts in a region where other countries like Costa Rica regulate the sector more stringently and El Salvador which banned metal mining in 2017. For teachers, however, Abrego said concession was not an option, and that the teachers' union would hold an assembly to plan their next actions. “We will remain in the streets,” he said.。而在这几场联合训练中，中埃空军“文明之鹰‑2026”联合训练无疑是最引人注目的，因为这次联合训练是歼-16战斗机首次进入中东，也是我空军首次与阵风战斗机过招。        中埃空军“文明之鹰”系列联合演练在2025年才举行第一届，但中埃空军都没有过多保留，双方第一次联合训练中国空军就出动了歼-10C战斗机，当时埃及空军出动的是米格-29战斗机，今年举行的第二次中埃空军联合训练，双方都拿出了自己最顶尖的非隐身战斗机，因此才上演了“歼-16大战阵风”的一幕。对于埃及空军来说此前是极少有机会与中国空军这种精锐的空中力量以及歼-10C和歼-16这种顶尖战机过招的，因此埃及空军对于这样的联合训练必然也会倍加珍惜，毕竟与顶尖空中力量和顶尖装备切磋有助于埃及空军发现自己的不足、提升自己的实战能力。        说到埃及空军就不得不提一下埃及空军的主力装备，实际上埃及空军的主力装备仍然以西方战斗机为主，目前埃及空军有54架阵风战斗机（2026年将全部交付完毕）、218架F-16战斗机、46架米格-29战斗机以及19架幻影-2000战斗机，其中F-16是埃及空军的主力，阵风战斗机是埃及空军的新锐力量，米格-29和幻影-2000则是埃及空军的“二线战机”。

二 | 从中可以看出构成埃及空军主力的就是西方的F-16和阵风战斗机，前些年埃及空军尝试引进新型战机并打破长期依赖西方战机的局面，不过从俄罗斯引进24架苏-35战斗机的计划在美国的阻挠干涉下最终失败。

三 |         美国阻挠埃及引进苏-35战斗机，一是想打压俄罗斯的对外军贸，二是想维持以色列在中东的空中优势，三是想继续拿住埃及这个市场，想要让美制战机继续成为埃及空军的新一代主力。埃及空军引进俄制战机计划在美国的阻挠下失败后，埃及空军没有时间等了，埃及空军的数十架米格-29和幻影-2000需要新的战机代替，两百多架F-16战斗机也需要升级，仅靠几十架阵风战斗机解决不了问题，因此在2025年埃及不得不向美国提出了将埃及空军218架F‑16升级到F‑16V（Block70/72）的标准，埃及空军希望让这些F-16搭载AN/APG‑83有源相控阵雷达、Viper‑Shield 蝰蛇之盾电子战套件、全新航电座舱等系统。

四 |         不过，对于埃及抛过来的这个大单美国并没有一口答应，一是美国还是要考虑维持以色列空军在中东绝对优势的问题，二是美国长期拒绝向埃及提供AIM‑120中距空空导弹，但这一点恰恰是埃及空军极力争取的。如果埃及空军仍然得不到AIM‑120中距空空导弹，那么对二百多架F-16的升级将毫无意义，即便升级到F-16V的标准搭载了先进雷达航电，但只能发射AIM‑7M/P半主动雷达制导空空导弹，最大空战距离限制在50千米之内，这样的升级就是白费力气。

五 | 因此埃及空军虽然提出将F-16机群进行现代化升级，但直到现在美国仍然没有同意埃及空军的全部要求，双方仍然处于谈判阶段。        现在对于埃及空军来说则一切都不同了，2025年埃及空军领教了歼-10C的性能，歼-10C是中型空优战斗机，雷达性能比F-16V更强，尤其是歼-10C挂载的霹雳-15空空导弹射程超过200公里，比埃及空军一直期盼的AIM-120D射程更远。今年埃及空军又见识到了歼-16的实力，歼-16搭载功率更大的相控阵雷达系统，也拥有F-16这种轻型战斗机完全不具备的超强挂载能力和作战半径。现在的埃及空军必然已经意识到：原来西方战机早就不是“最先进”的代名词，原来东方已经有如此强悍的现代化战斗机！在这样的情况下埃及空军恐怕会对F-16V彻底失去兴趣，毕竟对于埃及空军来说歼-10C和歼-16不是存在于想象和传说中，而是埃及空军已经亲自见识过的。        最近几年不断有消息称埃及有意引进中国制造的现代化战斗机，虽然这些消息一直没有得到权威证实，但经过对中国战机的连续零距离接触，埃及空军必然对中国制造的现代化战斗机有了较为全面的了解和认可，所以说中国空军与埃及空军举行联合训练，不仅可以提升双方的技战术，还有一个潜在的作用就是让中国战机走进埃及空军铺平道路。至于埃及空军如果引进中国战机美国会不会从中阻挠的问题，歼-16第一次前往中东就是抵达埃及，这不仅是一种实力的展示，也是对埃及的一种撑腰！返回，查看更多。
