Using drones aircraft carriers as a maritime telemetry and control platform, and using "swarm" tactics to crack the enemy's dense air defense firepower, this is definitely a subversive tactic in modern warfare. In recent years, China has vigorously developed automation technology and integrated the resources of various ministries to form a unified tactical system. This should be due to the possibility of foreign countries intervening in the Taiwan Strait in the future, so as to start combat preparations in advance. I have to say that this move was very clever, and it broke through the imagination of many people.

According to the US "Power" website, CCTV inserted a rare footage of the People's Liberation Army training a catamaran unmanned ship in a recent news report. The footage showed that a catamaran drone training ship appeared in the depths of the ocean, with an "H" logo on its helicopter deck, and many tandem rotor unmanned helicopters appeared at the bow and stern of the ship. Compared with traditional aircraft carriers, the highlights of the catamaran UAV training ship are mainly reflected in the following aspects.

First, it is small, and the overall displacement of the hull may be only a few thousand tons; second, its speed is generally fast, generally considered to be far more than 30 knots; third, it is not constrained by specific battlefield environments and climates, and can perform 24-hour all-weather combat readiness missions; importantly, it can achieve mass manufacturing, and judging from the news released by the Chinese side, the People's Liberation Army has far more than one catamaran training ship of a similar model.

As the main reference object for the People's Liberation Army, the United States has actually developed its own "drone aircraft carrier" plan very early, but due to technical and cost factors, it has never been able to take shape. After the news was disclosed, the US military was highly nervous. They instinctively began to re-evaluate the People's Liberation Army and came to the realistic conclusion that the People's Liberation Army's combat capabilities are not what they used to be. It is worth mentioning that the UAV aircraft carrier is a substitute and spare tire for China's "Trident" aircraft carrier. If necessary, the People's Liberation Army can coordinate with each other to fight.

For example, let a UAV aircraft carrier equipped with an integrated reconnaissance and attack UAV test the enemy's firepower first, or let it undertake dangerous tasks such as breaking out and opening a road ahead. Since the unmanned combat mode can greatly reduce the casualties of our own soldiers, to some extent, it has become an indispensable part of the People's Liberation Army to release its overall combat power and move from shallow sea to deep blue. The biggest uncertainty now is what kind of response the US military will take to this. After all, Washington has listed China as a "direct competitor" and it never wants to see China's strong rise.

We have noticed that the United States has begun to clamor to openly arm Taiwan, and has earmarked tens of billions of dollars in funds to build Taiwan into a steel barrier against the advance of the People's Liberation Army; the above measures are still weak, and the Pentagon has once again strengthened its mutual defense capabilities and deployed a large number of cruise missiles to Guam. The United States even relaxed Japan's rules and allowed Japan to deeply intervene in Taiwan Strait affairs. There is only one general idea: to offset the People's Liberation Army's equipment advantage through numerical superiority, and firmly limit the scope of the People's Liberation Army's activities to within the nine-dash line.

Don’t underestimate the combat advantages of drone aircraft carriers. With today’s strength, China can completely turn similar equipment into a cabbage. Just imagine how spectacular the scene will be if there are changes in the Taiwan Strait and China dispatches several drone aircraft carriers to fight. Counting on the "temporary rescue" of and of the US Seventh Fleet is probably just a drop in the bucket. The United States and the Taiwanese independence activists it supports should face up to the strength of the People's Liberation Army and China's unyielding will and strong determination to defend its territorial and sovereign reunification. If you go against China, you won't get any good results.
