On December 21, the Japanese Ministry of Defense announced: "From December 17th to December 20th, the Chinese Navy's Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group operated near the Ryukyu Islands and in the waters near Beidatō Island." Composed of the Type 4A frigate Zaozhuang and the Type 901A support supply ship, it conducts ocean-going training activities on Kitadato Island near the Ryukyu Islands. "According to the Japanese Ministry of Defense: "The Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier Liaoning was confirmed to have carried out about 130 takeoffs and landings, including about 60 takeoffs and landings of the J-15 carrier aircraft and about 70 takeoffs and landings of the carrier-based aircraft." "The Chinese Navy aircraft carrier Liaoning moved southward through the waters between the Ryukyu Islands and Miyako Island on December 16." "The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched frigates and anti-submarine aircraft for intelligence collection and warning surveillance. The Japan Air Self-Defense Force dispatched F-15J fighter jets to respond to the takeoff and landing of the J-15 carrier-based aircraft."
J-15 training has reached normalcy.
According to Japan: "During the voyage of the Chinese Navy Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group, the J-15 carrier-based aircraft took off and landed about 60 times, and the carrier-based helicopters took off and landed about 70 times." Following the Chinese Navy Liaoning aircraft carrier combat group was the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force Murasame-class "Kirisame" destroyer.

The Daito Islands are surrounded by U.S. Navy aircraft carrier ranges and sea areas with year-round activities. The U.S. Navy and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force have conducted landing exercises on Daito Island many times. Okidaito Island is about 400 kilometers away from the Ryukyu Islands.
At present, the movement of another Type 055 10,000-ton Lhasa destroyer is unknown. Also missing are the Chinese Navy's Type 052D destroyer Kaifeng Ship No. 124 and the Chinese Navy's Modern-class destroyer No. 138 Taizhou Ship. This is the second time this year that the Chinese Navy has dispatched an aircraft carrier strike group to the Western Pacific to conduct maritime training.
The latest update on the track of our long-sea training (comprehensive data released by Japan on December 21)
This time, the Liaoning aircraft carrier is driven by the 0.55 million-ton cruise ship, the Anshan, Wuxi , the Type 052D Chengdu guided missile destroyer, the Type 054A Zaozhuang guided missile frigate, and the supply ship of the Type 901 Hulun Lake ship. In addition, the 102 Lhasa ship, 124 Kaifeng ship, and 889 Taihu ship have entered the Western Pacific a few days ago. Both fleets escort the Liaoning aircraft carrier, which means that the Chinese Navy's Liaoning aircraft carrier has three 0.55-million-ton cruisers, two 052D guided missile destroyers, and one 054A, with a total of 496 (112x3+64x2+32) vertical missile launch units! This vertical missile launch unit has already exceeded the number of missiles deployed by the US military and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force deploying ships and missiles in the Western Pacific at this moment.
Compared with vertical missiles, we will definitely not fall behind.
The Chinese Navy's Type 055 10,000-ton destroyer is equipped with the largest number of missiles, including 112 ship-borne vertically launched missile systems. The Type 052D destroyer is Equipped with 64 ship-based vertically launched missile systems; the 054A frigate is equipped with 32 shipborne vertically launched missile systems. If the Chinese Navy's Liaoning aircraft carrier combat strike group adds the number of missiles on the underwater nuclear submarine , the total will exceed 1,000, which is not a big problem.
Now the Chinese Navy can dispatch 10 main combat surface ships at the same time to conduct training in the open sea and the western Pacific waters. In the future, the main mission of the Chinese Navy will shift from defending sovereignty to building strong backing for China's global role.
The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier is already in the Western Pacific
Just as the Liaoning aircraft carrier was conducting exercises in the Western Pacific, on December 20, the US military disclosed the situation of the Nimitz aircraft carrier in the Western Pacific: December 19 On the same day, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force P-1 anti-submarine patrol aircraft conducted exercises with the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft and US Air Force B-52H bombers in the airspace south of Iwo Jima, Guam and the East China Sea.The Nimitz aircraft carrier only has the E-2C early warning aircraft , not even the E-2D early warning aircraft and the F-35C carrier-based aircraft. To provide support for the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier, on December 21, three U.S. military P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft, one E-3G early warning aircraft, and one RC-135V reconnaissance reconnaissance aircraft took off from Kadena Base in the Ryukyu Islands and Clark Base in the Philippines to conduct reconnaissance in , the South China Sea, and other waters. The U.S. Navy's Nimitz-class aircraft carrier made an emergency voyage to Guam.
The approximate distance between the last public positions of the Chinese and American aircraft carriers is about 2,000 kilometers
At this moment, the Chinese Navy's Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group is about 2,000 kilometers away from the U.S. Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. There are currently two aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean performing combat cruise missions: the US Navy's Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, and the Chinese Navy's Liaoning aircraft carrier! Chinese and American aircraft carriers are in a "face to face" situation. Chinese and American aircraft carriers respectively operate in the waters near the Ryukyu Islands and Guam.
If the U.S. Navy had an aircraft carrier, a destroyer , and an cruiser , how dare we attack this disabled configuration! Now facing the current strength of the Chinese navy, it is really a matter of death. Americans themselves know best! The Chinese Navy's 0.55 million-ton cruiser is so beautiful, like a gleaming dagger cutting through the waves, piercing the enemy's guts! The Chinese Navy's 0.55-million-ton cruise ship surpassed the American DDG-1000 in one fell swoop and became the most powerful combat ship in the world. China already has eight 10,000-ton cruise ships, some of which are in service and some of which will be commissioned immediately. The YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile equipped with a 0.55-million-ton cruise ship has a range of up to 2,000 kilometers. If eight 0.55-million-ton cruise missiles are in the Western Pacific waters, it can directly abolish any combat capabilities of US aircraft carriers in the Western Pacific, including the ability to conduct sneak attacks on the ground.
With the current strength of the US military formation, there is really no way to challenge the Liaoning ship
The current position of the Chinese Navy's three 0.55 million-ton cruise ships is in the carrier position to attack the US aircraft carrier USS Nimitz: exactly 2,000 kilometers away, no more, no less! In theory, you can confront the enemy at any time and pour a large number of Eagle Strike 21 hypersonic anti-ship missiles at the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Nimitz! The US military also admitted: "The Chinese Navy's 0.55 million-ton large-scale missile has the ability to resist the enemy for thousands of kilometers." The
055 10,000-ton large-scale YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile can hit all maritime surface ship targets including US destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers. The Type 055 10,000-ton large-scale drive has powerful deterrence capabilities. It not only becomes the "sword guard" of the Liaoning aircraft carrier, but is also the main anti-ship force against the US Navy's aircraft carrier fleet!
055's anti-ship combat power has greatly increased
When Chinese and American aircraft carriers are "face to face", the current U.S. Navy does not have much advantage. The U.S. military's aircraft carrier itself is a "living target" in front of the 0.55 million-ton large-scale drive + YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile. The equipment of the YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile can greatly curb the arrogance of the US Navy's aircraft carrier fleet. The Chinese Navy's 0.55 million-ton large-scale propeller + YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile weakens the deterrence capability of the US Navy's aircraft carrier strike group.
The YJ-21 will seriously weaken the U.S. military's advantages
In this regard, the U.S. military website "1945" once believed: "Once the YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile is purchased in large quantities by other countries, it means that the U.S. Navy aircraft carriers will quickly lose their presence in the Western Pacific. Advantages. "The launch of the YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile is more flexible and can be launched directly from the 0.55 million-ton missile. The U.S. satellite cannot lock the 0.55-million-ton missile at all times in the vast ocean. Once the YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile is launched, it is basically impossible for the U.S. aircraft carrier to intercept it.
In addition to being equipped with more than 10 055 large-scale cruisers in the future, the Chinese Navy will also have more than 30 052D guided missile destroyers. The Chinese Navy's 0.55 million-ton large-scale cruisers are being manufactured very quickly. The rapid manufacturing capabilities and quantity of equipment of the Chinese Navy destroyer "Xia Jiaozi" are beyond the capabilities of the U.S. and Western shipbuilding industries.
Our dumpling trend will continue
The United States needs a powerful enemy to unite the United States and bridge the so-called differences between the two parties. This is the so-called reason and excuse for the United States to frequently provoke China in the South China Sea, East China Sea and Taiwan Strait! China uses reciprocal hard power. During the Chinese and Russian naval exercises in the East China Sea, the Chinese Navy's Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group responded to the US aircraft carrier strike group that challenged China. This move has never been encountered by the US authorities.
Aircraft carrier VS aircraft carrier, this is indeed something that Americans have never encountered.
China will use its own strength to challenge the United States until the United States abides by its relations with major powers, causing the United States to give up its status as an international policeman and completely lose its hegemony in the Western Pacific. The current aircraft carriers and warships of the U.S. Navy are either under repair or on the road of repair. Looking at the current strength of the Chinese navy, China did not have a good and powerful aircraft carrier battle group, warships, military aircraft, and bombers. Now China has all these things! Although China's current aircraft carrier combat strike group is still in its infancy, it won't be long before the Chinese aircraft carrier combat strike group launches attacks on Hawaii, the Eastern Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean!
