Recently, with the continued Ukraine-Russia war in Eastern Europe, the United States has been using Eastern Europe to promote the problem of war and hit the strait issue. There are even US experts who do not mind the big deal and say that due to the current Ukraine-Russia war, once we decide to take action in the direction of the strait, we will launch "faster, more deadly" and more rapid actions.
U.S. media VOA reported that Eric Chan, senior strategic adviser to combat effectiveness of the US Air Force, said that the war in Eastern Europe has been going on for more than 60 days. China may, given the many mistakes in the battlefield, strengthen the originally formulated cross-sea landing combat tactics. Once it chooses to take action, it will launch a strong attack from the beginning, including a strong blow to the island's supply and supply lines, weapons and ammunition and other combat readiness savings, command systems and communication systems; Eric Chan (Eric) Chan also said that Ukraine's tenacious resistance reflects that if the island strengthens its combat readiness reserves for food, weapons and ammunition, and the will to resist, it will prevent China from paralyzing the island and achieving the goal of rapid occupation and ending the war. He also said that it is also based on the above feedback, so if we decide to take action, it will inevitably be strong and rapid.
, Bonny Lin, director of the China Strength Project Research Group of the Center for Strategic and International Research in Washington Think Tank (CSIS), also said that although the current Eastern European war will not affect China's willingness to take action in the direction of the strait, the relevant tactical and strategic mistakes made by Russia in this war may enable China to adjust its plan to cross-sea landing operations in the entire strait, making it faster, more deadly, and perhaps more escalating.
It should be pointed out that we can see that on the one hand, the United States is focusing on the probability of "there is something wrong in the strait", while on the other hand, it is constantly raising fire on the strait issue, constantly strengthening military activities and existence in the strait direction, and even conducting defense linkages with the island's defense forces in the strait direction - for example, on the 20th, a US EP-3E electronic reconnaissance aircraft and a P-8 The A-anti-submarine patrol aircraft took off from the Kadena base in the Ryukyu Islands and entered the southern direction of the Strait Island (near the Bashi Channel ). During the same time, the air force on the island also took off two P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and the two sides carried out defense linkage. Although this linkage between the two sides has not been disclosed to the outside world, it is obvious that this linkage is more like a bilateral joint anti-submarine, reconnaissance, intelligence collection and mutual sharing combat drill agreed by both sides in advance.
On the 23rd, the United States took off several F-15C fighter jets at the Kadena Base and flew into the airspace around our strait again. Moreover, this batch of US Air Force F-15C fighter jets still cruise with ammunition, and their provocation and firepower have obviously become increasingly fierce. At the same time, we can see that the United States is currently trying to use the geographical location of the Ryukyu Islands to build and strengthen it into a defense fulcrum for intervening in strait affairs.
