In the first half of 2022, the People's Liberation Army's long-sea military operations have become more and more frequent. Since May, the People's Liberation Army has sent multiple surface ship fleets to the waters surrounding Japan to conduct military operations, including the Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group and the 071 shipyard. The emergence of the landing ship formation, the Type 055 10,000-ton guided missile destroyer formation and a large number of destroyer and frigate formations has made Japan nervous. The People's Liberation Army frequently sends a large number of surface ships to break through the first island chain. In addition to Japan's nervousness, even the United States can no longer sit still, because the People's Liberation Army warships have already approached the waters near the Yokosuka military port of the US military stationed in Japan.
In addition to a large number of far-sea military operations, the People's Liberation Army's military exercises in the four sea areas are also continuous. According to the Ministry of National Defense, the current People's Liberation Army's military exercises have entered a state of "high intensity and difficulty", and such "high intensity" "Intensity, high difficulty" is also in line with "training is how soldiers fight." According to the latest news reported by the media, Pearl River Estuary has clearly designated a military exercise restricted area. The navigation warning issued by the Guangdong Maritime Safety Administration shows that from July 3 to July 4, every day from 7:00 to At 13:00, military missions will be carried out in the southeastern waters of Dawanshan Island in the Pearl River Estuary. During this period, no ships are allowed to enter. Judging from the military exercise area announced by the People's Liberation Army this time, it is also the area where the United States has previously clamored to lay mines Area.
According to a news reported by the South China Morning Post on June 28, US Navy Commander Victor Duno previously pointed out that in order to deal with the current military threat from the People's Liberation Army, it can be carried out in China's Yellow Sea and Pearl River Delta The laying of mines prevents the People's Liberation Army from taking military action against Taiwan. The mine tactics proposed by U.S. Navy officer Victor Duno are undoubtedly a "bad idea", and some military experts pointed out that Victor ·Dunuo’s proposal also violated relevant international laws. After the United States pointed out that it would use water mines to trap the PLA Navy ships in the military port, a minesweeper brigade in the PLA’s southern theater also quickly showed off its strength. Zhanyan believes that the restricted area for military exercises set up by the People's Liberation Army at the Pearl River Estuary has a clear purpose and is a warning to the United States.
In fact, it is impossible for the United States to clamor to lay mines at China's doorstep. If US warships can stay in this area for a long time, the People's Liberation Army will definitely send warships to drive them away. Previously, it was reported that three warships Foreign warships tried to invade my country's Xisha territorial waters. The 052D guided missile destroyer Changsha had a 47-hour confrontation with three foreign warships, and finally forced the three foreign warships back.
In recent years, most U.S. warships need to pass through the Bashi Strait when entering the South China Sea. As the People's Liberation Army increases its combat patrols in the airspace southwest of Taiwan, the U.S. military will also encounter obstacles when crossing the Bashi Strait. To monitor the whole process of the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army has previously sent a large number of H-6 bombers to the airspace around the Bashi Channel for combat patrols, and these H-6 bombers can complete the launch of the Eagle 12 anti-ship missile , and the Eagle 12 anti-ship missile It can destroy a 5,000-ton large surface ship with just one launch. Therefore, the Eagle 12 anti-ship missile carried by a H-6K bomber is fully capable of destroying an Ali Burke-class guided missile destroyer. Text/Iris
