On November 12, the Navy disclosed a voice that happened on November 10. During the normal combat readiness cruise near the Taiwan Strait of our Navy, the Xiamen ship and the Taiwan Ma Gonghu were talking to each other. Judging from the content of the call between the two sides: it was during the normal navigation that the Xiamen ship encountered the interception of the Ma Gong missile destroyer of Taiwan Province, which came to prevent normal navigation. The Ma Gongshi publicly shouted to the Xiamen ship: This is the Ma Gongshi, you are about to enter the 24 nautical mile warning area. Please adjust the direction in time to think that navigation is safe.
And the Xiamen ship responded domineeringly: Ma Gong Ship, this is the Xiamen Ship, what you call the 24-nautical mile line does not exist, please pay attention to your terms! Our ship is sailing here normally, please keep a safe distance of more than 3 nautical miles from me!
First of all, like the navy's domineering rebuttal, and secondly, let's talk about this Ma Gongshi. In fact, the Ma Gongshi is the fourth ship of the four second-hand Kid-class missile destroyers purchased by Taiwan Province from the United States that year. The ship was originally built by the United States specifically for the Iraqi Navy. However, when it was delivered, with the departure of the Pahlavi Dynasty, the four ships that the United States urgently needed to deliver became hot potatoes. So at the beginning of this century, the US Navy sold these four missile destroyers , which had been in service for a period of time, to Taiwan Province, my country, as the flagship of Taiwan Province.
Since these four ships are derived from Kid-class missile destroyers, what I am most proud of is that their full load displacement is as high as 9,500 tons, which is even much larger than the 052D missile destroyer of our Navy. But because these four ships were built in the 1970s, in addition to being proud of tonnage, other electronic equipment such as weapons and radar have been seriously behind. For example, they are not equipped with any phased array radar and missiles. They use double wishbone tilt launch mode, and because of their earlier service years, their air defense capabilities are not as good as our Navy's 4,000-ton 054A missile frigate. The Xiamen ship that was domineeringly retorted was the No. 6 of the 052D missile destroyer that the Navy is in service in batches. Whether it is tonnage, power system, radar electronic equipment, or weapons and equipment, the ship can be called the second ship of the same level worldwide. Because in terms of the electronic equipment carried by the ship, it is equipped with a 346A phased array radar independently designed and manufactured by my country, with a detection distance of more than 400 kilometers and a ability to lock more than 200 targets, as well as priority intercepting the most dangerous 50 targets.
At the same time, the 052D missile destroyer not only has the world's advanced radar performance, but also the missile vertical launch system it is equipped with and the missile it carries is the most advanced and threatening existence on the world today. Because the 052D missile destroyer is the first destroyer in the world with a diameter of 850 mm and a capability of launching hot and cold missiles, the vertical launch system it is equipped with not only the Haihongqi 9B long-range air defense missile, Haihongqi 16B medium-range air defense missile, Eagle Strike 18 Asia-Super combined anti-ship missile , but also the Eagle Strike-21 carrier-based hypersonic anti-ship missile.
So whether it is the radar carried by the warship on both sides, or the horizontal comparison of the weapon system, the Xiamen ship can be said to have completely crushed the Ma Gongshi on the other side without any pressure. Of course, it is normal for our army to respond domineeringly, because since 2013, with the improvement of the overall strength of our navy, especially the slogan of cross-strait reunification, becoming the common call for the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, my country has always been very kind in its response to Taiwan Province in order to peacefully recover and to save face. But the long-term peace has been tense, so after the Taiwan independence forces took the initiative to destroy the content initially reached between the two sides earlier, we don’t need to save face for them.
And the most critical 24 nautical miles in the entire dialogue, in fact, according to the provisions of the " United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ", if warships of other countries enter within 12 nautical miles within 12 nautical miles, it is a military invasion if other countries' warships enter within 12 nautical miles without permission, and the sovereign states with this territorial waters can respond to it military;
This sea area between 12 nautical miles and 24 nautical miles is the sea area. Linhai countries can carry out illegal crackdowns such as smuggling and smuggling within this sea area. At the same time, whether the ship entering this sea area is only civilian or warship, they must be positioned, identified and contacted.
So from the dialogue between the Xiamen ship and the Ma Gongshi, it can be seen that the Ma Gongshi took the initiative to contact the Xiamen ship, which represents the specific location of the Xiamen ship sailing at that time. The straight-line distance from Taiwan Province was already sailing within 24 nautical miles and within almost 50 kilometers.
The Xiamen ship's domineering retort to Ma Gongshi is also legal and compliant with international laws. Because as early as September 21, on the eve of this year's National Day, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs answered a reporter's question on PLA Eastern Theater Command organized a practical drill near the Taiwan Strait, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin made a clear statement on the matter: "Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and there is no so-called 'mid-line of the strait'."
So on the premise of clearly announcing that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, the Xiamen ship sailed in the waters near China's territory, which is equivalent to sailing at its own doorstep, so the domineering retorts that some Taiwan independence forces have the so-called 24-nautical mile line does not exist. After all, the so-called mid-line of the strait was from the beginning: The US Pacific Command, based on the so-called "Taiwan-US Joint Defense Treaty", measured the Taiwan Strait as a very narrow and insufficient combat depth, and under its leadership, a "important boundary" was introduced by the US Pacific Command at that time, based on the needs of defense operations in the Taiwan Strait.
