The United States and Japan dispatched 18 ships this time and posed in a formation to fight mine warfare, which is a new provocative method, and the implication is to impose a mine blockade on key waterways in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, and at the same time the United States and Japan must show their combat strength that they are not afraid of mine blockades. Obviously, the United States and Japan have miscalculated, and on December 5, the People's Liberation Army activated its combat strength to break through the defense for the first time, and the bomb 6J aircraft group also demonstrated the exercise subjects of high-explosive aerial bombs and sunken mines, and gave a heavy counterattack with the provocative behavior of the United States and Japan.

Confrontation and simulated strikes with US aircraft carriers, the PLA has carried out many times this year, and has achieved very significant results. One of the most classic simulated battles is the large-scale joint sea and air simulation strikes carried out against the four aircraft carriers of Britain, the United States, and Japan during the National Day, and the high-pressure simulated strikes on the US,British and Japanese formations with the frequency of 145 fighters in 4 days.

On December 2, the U.S. military and the Japanese Self-Defense Force launched the 3JA 2021 mine warfare exercise, the U.S. military dispatched the Avenger-class minesweeper, the United States and Japan have 18 minesweepers to participate, two anti-mine helicopters and multiple maritime detonation units. The purpose of the United States and Japan in this formation is to fight mines with the PLA in order to practice the use of mine blockade and demining operations during the six-day exercise, with the aim of improving the proficiency of the United States and Japan in mine confrontation operations.
The Observatory Think Tank believes that there is no doubt that the United States and Japan have dispatched 18 ships this time and posed in a formation to fight mine warfare, which is a new provocative method, which means that it is to impose a mine blockade on key waterways in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, and at the same time the United States and Japan must show their combat strength that they are not afraid of mine blockades. Obviously, the United States and Japan have miscalculated; on December 5, the PLA activated its combat strength to break through defenses at the first time and carried out mine laying operations at sea, demonstrating the PLA's ability to block the US military's intervention in the Channel at any time in the Bashi Strait.

The H-6J fleet can also carry YJ-12 anti-ship missiles, can carry out long-range strikes against the US and Japanese minesweeper formations, and destroy the US mine-sweeping capabilities. Mine warfare is actually a more traditional and effective method of warfare, mines can block important shipping lanes and restrict the activities of opposing ships, so why should the US military do this?
Picture interpretation: The US frigate was hit by mines
Mine warfare is a way of modern naval warfare, the test is the other side's mine clearance capabilities, as well as anti-blockade combat capabilities, during the Gulf War, the U.S. Navy ships were injured by Iraqi mines, Iraq laid more than 1,000 mines in the Persian Gulf, causing serious trouble to the U.S. military operations, which is enough to see the advantages of mines. The huge destructive power of mines, as well as their low cost, make it a weapon for naval warfare. Without mine clearance capabilities, it is possible to be limited by mine warfare. The US military's use of mine warfare to provoke this time is obviously self-inflicted humiliation, and it was defeated by the PLA's strong anti-blockade capability and mine-laying capabilities.
