The U.S. military's actions on December 10 are quite frequent, during which the MQ-4C UAV was used to enter the East China Sea to carry out the mission, unlike the previous UAV in the East China Sea, the U.S. Navy broke into the East China Sea on the night of December 9, and then peeked continuously until the early morning of December 10. Beginning in 2021, the East China Sea has also become the airspace for the U.S. Navy's MQ-4C UAV activities, after the U.S. Navy had deployed MQ-4C unmanned aerial vehicle systems at misawa base for a short time, and most of the time was active in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. MQ-4C is developed by Northrop Grumman in the United States, which is based on the RQ-4B Global Hawk UAV, which also has the characteristics of long flight time. 202112129/Aviation Horizon/AZ.
In fact, on the same day that the MQ-4C drone broke into the East China Sea at night, the US Air Force had four more F-35A Lightning II fighters to the Asia-Pacific region and began dynamic force deployment operations at the Iwakuni base in Japan. According to Aeronautical Vision, 11 fighters in the dynamic deployment of the F-35A Lightning II fighter jet in this phase are from the U.S. Air Force 356 Fighter Squadron and one from the U.S. Air Force 355 Fighter Squadron. The U.S. Air Force's 356th Fighter Squadron and 355th Fighter Squadron are both part of the 354th Air Wing and are based at Alagas Elson Air Force Base in the United States.
Judging from the provocation of the US Navy's MQ-4C drone to the East China Sea and the US Air Force's F-35A Lightning II fighter jet deploying Japan, US President Biden's pursuit of dialogue is a cover, because the United States has not given up its strategy of hostility to China at all. The U.S. Navy MQ-4C UAV in the East China Sea, can control the dynamics of the Plaster, so as to obtain relevant intelligence, the U.S. military to strengthen the military presence in the East China Sea, in order to achieve deterrence to the PLA, this is one of the actions that constantly test the bottom line of the PLA, the United States actively confronted China, the use of military force is an important part of it, this time the U.S. military is once again exposed sharp fangs.
According to public information, MQ-4C unmanned aerial vehicle is used to replace the EP-3E Aries electronic reconnaissance aircraft model, with a strong electromagnetic signal collection capability, EP-3E Aries electronic reconnaissance aircraft is the ghost of the airspace within the first island chain, long-term implementation of intelligence collection work for the People's Liberation Army, the U.S. Navy EP-3E is deployed in the Ryukyu Kadena base, MQ-4C and EP-3E, compared with the EP-3E, there are huge advantages in the detection range and range, MQ-4C can fly continuously for 40 hours, As a result, navigation from Guam to the East China Sea can be realized, and voyeuristic missions can be carried out in the East China Sea for a long time.
The United States in many occasions in the pursuit of dialogue with China, but behind is a small action continuously, so U.S. President Biden seeking dialogue is an obvious cover, for the action of the U.S. military is to be vigilant, the U.S. Navy MQ-4C UAV has a very mature ability to use, from 2020 has often carried out missions in the first island chain, according to the information held by Aviation Vision, MQ-4C UAV also broke into the South China Sea on December 8 to carry out the mission, and the next day entered the East China Sea, It can be seen that the outgoing rate of MQ-4C UAVs is quite high, which is a result of the continuous integration of the US military after nearly two years, and now the US goal is clear, that is, to point the spearhead at China.
