With the launch of the Chinese Navy's new catapult aircraft carrier Fujian Ship in the near future, the Chinese Navy's shipbuilding wave has begun to enter the second stage of building super aircraft carriers and large-scale ships such as 10,000-ton cruise ships. It is well known that The United States, whose navy is rapidly catching up with China, has also begun planning a series of insidious and insidious military measures in order to curb prying eyes on China's military development. Recently, the South China Morning Post quoted an article published by the U.S. Naval Research Institute as saying that U.S. Navy Commander Victor Duno was instigating the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command , saying that given that China is accelerating to narrow the military gap with the United States, even Already having advantages in some areas, the United States can consider conducting "mine warfare" along China's coast to hinder China's development.

In addition to this bad idea, the US military in the Indo-Pacific region also has two ongoing military operations and military training plans. One is the long-term reconnaissance operation in China's coastal areas. In recent months, the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has made the US military in the Indo-Pacific region, which has been pressing hard against China step by step, become panicked all day long. In order to ensure that the situation is monitored The Indo-Pacific camp, led by the United States, has significantly increased its close reconnaissance operations around China. Especially before and after the launch of the Fujian ship, the US Air Force's RC-135 strategic reconnaissance aircraft repeatedly approached the waters near the Yangtze Estuary of my country. On June 28, when a U.S. Navy officer was revealed to have encouraged senior U.S. military officials to conduct mine warfare against my country, the U.S. Air Force also dispatched a P-3 anti-submarine patrol aircraft capable of launching mines , as well as an RC-135 strategic aircraft with intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities. The reconnaissance aircraft entered the Taiwan Strait and the waters surrounding the Yellow Sea and the Yellow Sea. Reminiscent of the recent "mine warfare" attempts by US military officers, the intentions behind them are quite sinister.
Secondly, the United States is also planning a pre-emptive stealth war. Indo-Pacific Air Force Commander Aquilino said in a recent interview that if possible, the United States hopes to deploy the F-35 stealth fighter closer to China. The commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Air Force made such a decision to send a sheep into the tiger's mouth, largely because during the "Valiant Shield" military exercise held by the United States in the Western Pacific two weeks ago, the U.S. Navy and Air Force conducted a -35 fighter jets, drills related to attacking imaginary enemy medium- and long-range ballistic missile launchers.
In fact, the U.S. Department of Defense had already proposed a similar idea of sending F-35 stealth fighters to take advantage of their stealth advantages to penetrate into my country's interior to attack Dongfeng missiles as early as February 2019. Recently, a series of specific plans by the Indo-Pacific U.S. military Actions and remarks prove that the United States' stealth warfare is no longer just a vision, but actually implemented military tactics and related forward-deployment plans for stealth fighters. So, an issue that everyone must be concerned about is how should our country respond to the "mine warfare" that U.S. military officers have proposed, as well as the ongoing intelligence warfare and stealth warfare?
The United States frequently uses insidious methods. How should the Chinese military respond?
Chinese naval ships
First of all, we need to recognize that the "mine warfare" proposed by American officers is not realistically feasible. The U.S. military officer's "mine warfare" plan is implemented in peacetime. The target locations are seabed in the waters near China's Pearl River Delta and China's Yellow Sea and other coastal areas of China. By deploying intelligent mines, it threatens Chinese navy warships and merchant ships. However, let’s not talk about whether such a plan with “great lack of virtue” can be passed within the U.S. Navy. Even if it is passed, the Chinese Navy will not sit back and watch as the U.S. Navy plants such dangerous seeds around China. After more than 20 years of construction in the new century, the Chinese Navy has been able to deploy two aircraft carrier battle groups , 37 Chinese Aegis ships, and more than 80 054A and 056 light frigates in the first island chain.
Air-submarine-200 anti-submarine aircraft
With the support of H-6K/ H-6J/H-6N long-range strategic bombers, JH-7A fighter-bombers, and Eagle anti-ship missiles and other " aircraft carrier killers ", Judging from the current strength of the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet and the U.S. Navy's global maneuverability, the U.S. military in the Indo-Pacific region clearly does not have the capabilities to forcefully engage in sea and air conflicts with my country in the first island chain of . The ability to lay mines in areas surrounding our country. Moreover, the United States is not the only country with mine warfare capabilities. The air-submarine-200 anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the Chinese Air Force has a combat radius of 2,000 kilometers and can reach directly to the sea off Tokyo, Japan. It also has the ability to launch mines, which can completely restrict the departure of the US Pacific Navy's Seventh Fleet.
Secondly, although the reconnaissance warfare of the United States Indo-Pacific Navy and Air Force has become more and more rampant, the Chinese Navy and Air Force are not vegetarians. Not long ago, the U.S. "Valiant Shield" military exercise ended. The People's Liberation Army dispatched reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets 60 to the Taiwan Strait region within three days. Earlier in late May, the Chinese Air Force even dispatched H-6 long-range bombers to compete with The Russian strategic bomber unit jointly launched a circumnavigation air cruise over the Japanese mainland. Not to mention, at the same time, the maritime fleets of China and Russia also conducted a series of cross-navigation and maritime military exercises on the first island chain of the United States. It is not difficult to see that compared with the United States' reconnaissance warfare, the military exercises and sorties of the Chinese navy and air force in the Western Pacific region are obviously more powerful.
and the so-called stealth warfare of the US Air Force. Indeed, thanks to the large-scale service and formation of combat capabilities of F-35 stealth fighters in recent years, the United States' "F-35 stealth encirclement" in the Western Pacific has been significantly strengthened. However, in the face of the United States' aerial stealth advantage, China has been actively building an anti-stealth system, from the J-20 to cooperate with the KJ-500 early warning aircraft, which can attack low-detectable targets beyond visual range, to the 052D modified ship The anti-stealth radar installed on the rear of the body provides anti-stealth capabilities at sea, and even China's land-based JY-26 anti-stealth radar with a detection range of fifth-generation aircraft can reach hundreds of kilometers. The United States wants to pass the F-35 Or will the future B-21 stealth bomber preemptively enter my country's interior to search and attack Dongfeng missile launchers to clear hidden dangers for the U.S. Navy's activities in the Western Pacific region? It can only be said to be wishful thinking and self-destructive practice.
The strength of China and the U.S. is ebbing and flowing. Has the U.S. lost the confidence in direct confrontation?
It can be said that the mine warfare, intelligence warfare and stealth warfare of the US Navy and US Air Force are not only unable to pose a real threat to China's area denial/anti-access system. On the contrary, these low-grade, insidious and indiscriminate methods will only expose the United States' growing lack of confidence in China's military development and its concern that its hegemony will eventually be broken. Sun Tzu said in the art of war that victory can be won by miraculous combination. In the face of the military threat from the United States, whether our country is developing its military strength or organizing naval and air military operations, it has always been aboveboard and aboveboard. Instead of being like the United States, which sends reconnaissance aircraft every three days to enter other countries' air defense identification zones and coastal areas to conduct Peeping.
U.S. Navy military exercises show off muscles
Moreover, from the previous counterattacks since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is not difficult to see that the Chinese army's tactics and tactics also pay attention to flexibility and surprise. In sharp contrast, the United States not only wants to engage in undeclared war and deploy stealth aircraft to steal my country's Dongfeng missile sites, but it has also become so crazy that it used pirate ship tactics to rob Chinese merchant ships in the past two years, and recently proposed to The conduct of mine warfare along China's coast is not only absurd but also harmful to others and itself. The US military in 2022, although it is only 30 years since the Gulf War. However, in the past 30 years, the U.S. Army has been deeply involved in conflicts in the Middle East and has been engaged in low-end security wars for more than ten years. The radio unit communication system established during the Cold War has been defeated, and the coordination between the arms has become worse and worse.
DDG1000 destroyer is a failed product
The U.S. Air Force was also fooled into entering the F-35 project that focused on ground attack. As a result, tens of billions of dollars were invested in it. In the end, facing the air superiority fighters of China and Russia and the new generation of fifth-generation aircraft, the U.S. Air Force still had to Purchase the F-15EX, which is more expensive than the F-35, and independently develop sixth-generation aircraft to supplement air interception capabilities and air superiority combat capabilities. The U.S. Navy is even more heavyweight. In the new century, it has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on research and development of the Zumwalt-class aircraft carriers, the littoral combat ships, and the Ford-class aircraft carriers. It can almost be said that all of them ended in failure or were difficult to deliver. Even Among them, the Ford-class aircraft carrier, which has a better prospect, has not yet been substantially solved for the large number of problems existing in equipment such as the electromagnetic catapult and the electric lift . The first ship is currently just making do.
Why has the U.S. military, the number one in the world, now reduced to seeking all kinds of low-level military means and keeping silent about how to deal head-on with China's military rise? It can only be said that the actual strength of China and the United States has waxed and waned, especially in the past 20 years, the fundamental changes in the comparison of military power between China and the United States in the Western Pacific region, and the recent advent of the Chinese Navy's Fujian Super Aircraft Carrier. For the United States, which started out as an aircraft carrier and became a superpower, it even broke through its defenses. A series of chain reactions also made the U.S. military, which was unable to defeat the Volunteer Army head-on 70 years ago, even less confident now.
