The U.S. Navy's CVN76 USS Reagan aircraft carrier has been operating in the Philippine Sea since it began combat cruises, and during which it has also been operating in the waters south of the Ryukyu Islands, and the U.S. Air Force has used B-1B strategic nuclear bombardment to cooperate in relevant waters, during which it has also most likely intruded into the South China Sea to carry out deterrent cruise operations. According to the information held by Aviation Vision, the US Air Force has previously deployed 4 B-1B supersonic strategic nuclear bombers at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam, during which it has conducted joint operations with the F-15J/DJ fighters of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
In addition to the U.S. Navy's use of the CVN76 Ronald Reagan strike group in its home port in Japan, but also the CVN72 Lincoln strike group combat cruise at the same time, since 2022, the USS Lincoln has been wandering on the doorstep of China, during which the so-called "free navigation" has been carried out in the waters within the first island chain many times. From 2020 onwards, the U.S. Navy is the norm in the Asia-Pacific region to deploy carrier strike groups, thus trying to put pressure on China, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier deployment aims to win two local wars in a high-tech context at the same time, with 11 aircraft carriers, in addition to deploying aircraft carrier strike groups in two different areas.
When the U.S. Navy's CVN76 USS Reagan aircraft carrier was pointing directly at China, the PLA fleet once again carried out military operations in the first island chain, and judging from the information released by the Japanese Ministry of Defense's Unified Staff Supervision Department on June 22, the PLA fleet began to enter the western Pacific Ocean on June 21 to carry out combat cruise missions in two routes, from the Miyako Strait and the Yonaguni Island Waterway. Aviation Vision believes that in the face of the aggressive posture of the US Navy, the PLA dares to take over. 202206253/Aviation Vision/AZ, when the PLA fleet entered the Pacific, Japan was already nervous, and from the information released by Japan, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched naval and air forces to track and monitor the actions of the PLA fleet.
Judging from the information released by Japan, the fleet of PLA 056 guided missile frigates and 052C guided missile destroyers crossed the waterway near Yonaguni Island, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched warships and maritime anti-submarine patrol aircraft to track the PLA fleet. The P-1 Teenage Mutant Turtles is a cutting-edge offshore anti-submarine aircraft platform developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan, which has been equipped in large quantities in the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and its technical level is the same as that of the American P-8A Neptune Maritime Anti-submarine Patrol Aircraft.
When the PLA fleet crossed the waterway near Yonaguni Island, the PLA fleet consisting of 2 052D guided-missile destroyers and 2 054A guided-missile frigates was crossing the Miyako Waterway into the Pacific waters, for which the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force once again made an emergency dispatch to track and monitor the PLA's operations across the MiyakoKu Strait, the PLA soldiers divided into two roads, making Japan quite passive, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched the P-3C Orion Maritime Anti-submarine Patrol Aircraft to participate in the tracking. The P-3C is from the Ryukyu Naha Base, where the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force deployed a large number of P-3C anti-submarine aircraft and more than 50 F-15J/DJ fighters of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
The PLA fleet patrolled the western Pacific And crossed the waterway into the ocean by closely following Japan, which was also a knock on Japan, and in the stage of the game between China and the United States, Japan was closely following the United States to contain and contain China. In fact, while the PLA had 6 warships entering the western Pacific, there were also 4 warships consisting of a fleet cruising around the Japanese archipelago, which was the language that Japan had to understand.
