Australia is a loyal follower of the United States, and Australian soldiers are indispensable in the various actions of the US military. Now it is even more active. Even if Australia changes its prime minister, there is still no change. In the past provocative actions of South China Sea , the Australian ship also participated a lot. Just last month, the US, Japan and Australia warship broke into the South China Sea, conducting exercises on the surface, but in fact, it came to provoke. Unfortunately, in the confrontation with the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army proved that it dared to fight head-on, making Australia admit that it did not take advantage of it at all. This is not an outside comment, but an information obtained by the Australian media in a recent interview with Australian military personnel.

Australian media ABC News reported that in October, two Australian warships were closely followed by the People's Liberation Army in the South China Sea. According to the report, it seems that the Australian Navy is "injured", but in fact it is conducting a joint operation with Australia, the United States and the Japanese Navy . The warships of the Three Kingdoms have been dispatched one after another and have entered the South China Sea for large-scale exercises, which is called "regional deployment." According to Australian reports, the Australian Navy's "Hobart" destroyer and the "First" supply ship entered the South China Sea, and the Japanese destroyer and a destroyer from the US Navy were also accompanied by a Japanese destroyer.
In October, the three navies of the United States, Japan and Australia broke into the South China Sea for military exercises
Based on the information released by the US Navy, we can see the general clues of the entire incident: starting from October 7, 2022, the US military's Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyer "Milius" (DDG-69) and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Village Rain-class destroyer "Misty Rain" (DD-104), the Royal Australian Navy's supply-class auxiliary supply oil ship "First" (A304) and the Hobart-class air defense destroyer "Hobart" (DDG-39) conducted trilateral training exercises during combat in the South China Sea. The US military declared that "during the entire exercise, the three-nation navy jointly trained and carried out comprehensive actions to improve the collective coordinated combat capabilities of allies to maintain maritime security and prepare for the emergency in any region. The comprehensive exercises and training activities of the entire Three-nation navy include surface, underground and air defense exercises, including maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft from several participating countries."
"Hobart" destroyer
Perhaps Australia is willing to show off its strength. The "Hobart" destroyer is the first dedicated air defense destroyer of the Australian Navy and is also the largest tonnage destroyer with a displacement of 7,000 tons. It is the latest member of the US-made Aegis ship family and an improved version of the Spanish F-100 frigate . is equipped with the Aegis combat system and 48 vertical launch units. , the battleship , which was only in service in 2017, is the strongest battleship of the Australian Navy. As its first ship, the Hobart has naturally had a great status.
But the PLA's electronic warfare troops are really not vegetarians!
This time, the United States, Japan and Australia were provoking trouble in the South China Sea. Under the banner of passing by, they ran to the islands stationed by the People's Liberation Army to engage in activities. Naturally, they had a "interaction" with the People's Liberation Army ships. Unfortunately, there was no introduction to the actual confrontation between the two sides. The Australian Ministry of Defense refused to provide any information on the grounds of "safety of operations", saying only that any interaction with foreign troops was conducted in a safe and professional manner.
Australian naval formation, destroyer + supply ship
The only thing that is surprising is that the Australian ABC News learned from a defense official who did not want to be named that the PLA's electronic combat capability has made significant progress, claiming that the Chinese military closely tracked these ships and showed that "the use of tactical acuity and electronic warfare capabilities has increased significantly." In other words, the Australian media confirmed that there was an electromagnetic war battle in the South China Sea at that time, but there was no clear explanation of the specific details. Only one statement from the Australian Ministry of Defense: the Hobart and the Firm conducted various exercises in the international waters of the South China Sea, "all of which are in line with the international law , including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ".Australian Ministry of Defense officials said: "We call on all countries to respect law of the sea ..." This statement is a bit surprising. Nothing seems to have happened, but it makes people have to guess more.
Electronic warfare does not necessarily require real swords and guns. Fighting across the air is the norm
If we combine the relevant situation, we can only say that the United States, Japan and Australia failed to break through the islands and reefs at that time. If it was really successful, we would not even have a performance of celebrating the achievements afterwards. We only dare to emphasize that it is "in international waters". As for "compliance with international law", this statement is also interesting, as if someone did not abide by the rules. After analyzing the matter of
, it should be said: The People's Liberation Army did a beautiful job! Otherwise, why would the West, which has always bullied the weak and feared the strong, become like this? Suddenly, the rules were emphasized. Australia only revealed a few words of slogans, with no substantive content at all. The United States and Japan did not mention anything at all. It seemed that the "joint operation" in the South China Sea in October was something that had never happened.
Su-24's experience tells us that Aegis is not indestructible
After all, in electronic warfare, your GPS signal is cut off, there is a snowflake on radar , the radio is full of white noise, etc. As long as one is poked, it is a big deal. These individual fields are all high-end and sophisticated technical fields that the West is proud of. If they are suppressed by the People's Liberation Army, it will not be just a matter of shame. Even basic combat power will be questioned. Of course, Russia's experience tells us that the above operations are completely fine. The Su-24 once used electronic warfare equipment to frequently blind the US Aegis warships. Even the Russian army can do it, how could we not go further?
As long as the US military has activities, the People's Liberation Army will definitely be present!
makes Australia secretive about the incident, and it also has obvious strength "one rises and the other falls". First of all, I can’t take advantage of our warships. After years of "dumpling dumplings", the scale of our army's ships has greatly improved. The United States has believed that the Chinese navy has become the world's largest navy in number, with more than 360 ships. Australian media said: "In the South China Sea area alone, analysis of satellite images in the past year shows that hundreds of Chinese warships continue to operate every day." In the past, the British Navy was "scared" by the size of the Chinese Navy's ships. A British warship faced more than 20 PLA ships. Perhaps Australia was also facing a similar situation at that time. Faced with a large number of PLA ships, it was not a provocation at all.
Not only are our warships large in number, but the United States, Japan and Australia have only produced 4 warships in total, and the quality is not low. The Hobart destroyer is only equivalent to the level of the Type 052C destroyer in the Chinese Navy. Compared with the 52D destroyer , there is a big gap. As for the 055 large destroyer, don’t compare it.
We will stare at you as long as Western countries come!
Our army not only has many advanced warships dispatched, but also caused the opponent to suffer a great loss in the field of electronic warfare. If you know it again, you will know that our army has many electronic warfare systems deployed in the South China Sea. It can be said that it has the strongest electronic warfare force in our country and has gathered advanced equipment. Western media have published many photos before, which can be seen that our army has deployed a large number of electronic equipment in the South China Sea, but what is its purpose? How is the performance? There is no introduction, it depends on everyone to guess.
accompanied by personal verification and driving away. Our daily operations are
This is to have the confidence to face the United States, Japan and Australia. Whether it is playing hard confrontation or soft confrontation, we have the strength. The situation has changed now. Now the United States gathers its allies to the South China Sea and other regions to carry out various activities around China, but there are few reports on the relevant situation. Sometimes it is all about official articles and is unwilling to introduce the substantive content of the action. What is revealed is that the United States has lost its skills and can't even handle the bluff.
