At the beginning of the new year, the US aircraft carrier "Carl Vincent" took the lead in breaking into the South China Sea on the mainland, and the amphibious assault ships "Essex" and "America" from the Indian Ocean will merge to conduct military exercises, but this time entering the South China Sea is only fast-forward and fast-out, I thought that the South China Sea would be peaceful for a period of time, but I did not expect that we were too simple, and in the blink of an eye they turned around and then invaded the South China Sea to provoke.
According to media reports, after these three large-scale sea surface battle groups left the South China Sea, they converged with the "Lincoln" aircraft carrier battle group and the Japanese "Hyuga" quasi-aircraft carrier to show muscle in the Philippines, and five aircraft carriers or quasi-aircraft carriers formed a formation. Because the exercise area is located in the sensitive waters between Taiwan Island and the US military base on Guam, it also triggered a warning that the PLA will dispatch a large number of fighter jets to cruise the next day.
If the exercise is only honestly in the Philippine Sea, it may also be explained as just a routine military training between the United States and Japan, but the latest news has once again exposed the United States and Japan to be careful. The latest news said that a US F-35C fighter suddenly dropped its chain when landing on the aircraft carrier, accidentally collided with the aircraft carrier and crashed, and the accident occurred in the south China Sea.
Interestingly, the US F-35 fighter jet has been particularly eye-catching in recent days, mainly because the US media suddenly issued an article advocating that the US military has deployed more than "two dozen" F-35 fighters in the Western Pacific. Later, it was reported that the total number of F-35 fighters on the three large warships of the "Carl Vincent", "Lincoln" and "America" reached about 26, and the US media did not show off that this was a strong deterrent to the PLA.
What is surprising is that within a few days, the news of the F-35 crash in the South China Sea came, and it has to be said that the US military "dropped the chain" in a timely manner. According to the information disclosed by the US side, an F-35C fighter crashed after accidentally colliding with the aircraft carrier during landing, and the pilot successfully ejected the warehouse and was rescued, but at least 7 people were injured in the accident, of which 3 were transferred to the Philippine medical institution for treatment, and the other 4 people stayed on the aircraft carrier to recuperate, and there was no more content.
According to the US side, some analysts believe that it may be that the aircraft broke the blocking cable during landing, causing the aircraft to cut out of the deck and fall into the sea, and the broken blocking cable caused injuries to the deck staff. However, there is still a question, in order to prevent the hook from hanging the blocking cable when the carrier aircraft landed, it was necessary to throttle the throttle after the rear wheel landed, so that it could fly back in time when it failed to hang the blocking cable.
No matter what the cause of the accident is, the US F-35 fighter made an accident in the South China Sea this time, or gave the People's Liberation Army a wake-up call. The development of mainland aircraft carriers started late, and the US military personally demonstrated the accident in the South China Sea, which is almost an on-site teaching, and it is also an opportunity for the PLA to learn how to avoid risks.
The accident of the US military's F-35 fifth-generation stealth fighter is not a new thing, and the British "Queen Elizabeth" aircraft carrier that came to the South China Sea last year to do things also had an F-35 fighter crash on the way home.
In addition, there is the US nuclear submarine "Connecticut", which last year had a so-called "mountain collision" accident in the South China Sea. This series of accidents is almost all related to the South China Sea or the "return of the US military to Asia", it seems that Asia is not a place where the US military wants to do whatever it wants, and the South China Sea is even more "unlucky" for the US military. Remind the US military that it is better to eat a long and wise meal, and to keep a low profile in the future. (Zhikang)
