The U.S. Navy currently has only two aircraft carriers on combat cruise operations, and the CVN70 Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, which has been flaunting in the Asia-Pacific region for a long time, is already on its way back to the U.S. mainland and will soon arrive at the U.S. Navy's Port of San Diego. In fact, the current US aircraft carrier is still haunted, because the CVN72 Lincoln aircraft carrier has been operating in the Philippine Sea since February 2, according to ADS-B signal data, the US Navy Lincoln aircraft CMV-22B Osprey tilting rotorcraft appeared near the Miyako Strait on February 9, the aircraft numbered 169442, when it took off from kadena base, which shows that the US Navy Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group is carrying out operations to hold the Miyako Strait.
According to the information available to Aeronautical Vision, there is not only the USS Lincoln fighting cruise near the Strait, but also the LHD2 Amphibious Assault Ship Strike Group and the USS American Assault Ship Strike Group, operating in the Philippine Sea. From February 2 to February 7, the U.S. Navy held large-scale military exercises in multiple sea areas with an aircraft carrier and two amphibious assault ship strike groups, and three sea strike groups gathered in the waters south of the Ryukyu Islands, and the U.S. Navy gave high-profile publicity to the activities of the three major sea strike groups. The USS Lincoln conducted so-called "freedom of navigation" military operations in the South China Sea from January 23 to February 2.
Just when the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier was guarding the Miyako Strait, PLA fighters carried out normal Taiwan patrol operations, which shows that the PLA dared to take over the call, in fact, while performing combat cruises in the southwest airspace of Taiwan Island, the PLA also dispatched fighters to also have combat readiness tasks in the East China Sea, and China set up an air defense identification zone in the East China Sea in 2013. It can be seen from the announcement issued by the Ministry of Defense's Unified Staff Supervision Department that the People's Liberation Army continues to carry out combat readiness tasks in the East China Sea, and the Japan Air Self-Defense Force is seeking trouble for itself, because there are emergency take-offs of fighter jets to carry out so-called "drive away" operations, Japan often plays the PLA "invading" Japan's "territorial airspace", and declares that the Japan Air Self-Defense Force is carrying out vigilance tasks 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
According to publicly available information, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has been on a normal combat cruise in the airspace southwest of Taiwan Island since September 2020, and the patrol through Taiwan is a deterrent to "Taiwan independence." Now, when the US Navy uses three sea strike groups to carry out operations in the eastern waters of Taiwan Island, the PLA has released a clear signal to the United States through its inspection of Taiwan that if the US military crosses the red line to launch a provocation, the PLA will not be polite, and the PLA will dare to take the move. The U.S. military exercise, held from February 2 to February 7, was a simulated operation near the first island chain in the context of actual combat, in addition to the U.S. Navy, with the participation of the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Air Force, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, so it was a comprehensive exercise, during which the U.S. Marine Corps also had large hovercraft.
The Plaster has issued a warning to the United States with normal battle patrols, the PLA has "anti-access and area denial capabilities", the PLA already has two aircraft carriers, so it can go deep into the western Pacific to carry out combat readiness missions, the Liaoning aircraft carrier has carried out far-sea training missions twice in 2021, and has launched combat patrols in the waters east of the Ryukyu Islands, reflecting the PLA's ability to deter the second island chain through aircraft carrier strike groups, so the US Navy's use of aircraft carriers to hold the Miyako Strait is a humiliating action. 202202150/Aviation Horizon/AZ, the PLA's Dongfeng missile can establish a deterrent to U.S. aircraft carriers, because the U.S. Navy is simply unable to counter the PLA's ballistic missiles.
