The U.S. military has been working hard to build a "one-way transparency" advantage in intelligence. To achieve this, they have extensively deployed reconnaissance aircraft platforms to spy on China's movements in the first island chain area. Most recently, the U.S. Air Force conducted a joint operation, sending reconnaissance aircraft to demonstrate their strength around China on March 6. However, this seemingly ostentatious operation actually has a deeper intention, and the US military is trying to set traps to obtain more intelligence about the PLA.
According to South Korean intelligence, on March 6, the South Korean Air Force dispatched F-15K fighters to escort the U.S. B-52H strategic nuclear bomber, while the U.S. Air Force also sent F-22A Raptor fighters to participate in the operation. F-22A Raptor fighters took off from Kadena Base in Ryukyu and began escorting airspace within the first island chain. The purpose of this air operation is clear: they intend to use the B-52H's massive signal signature to trigger an emergency response from the PLA, and then use the RC-135V strategic reconnaissance aircraft's close operations to gain more intelligence. The RC-135V is equipped with a variety of detection equipment to collect and analyze communication and radar signals. According to air traffic control information, the RC-135V operated along the baseline of the territorial sea from Shanghai to Qingdao during the mission to get as close as possible to coastal targets, a tactic by the United States to try to obtain more information.
Intelligence gathering has always been one of the top priorities of the U.S. military. Through various reconnaissance platforms, they strive to gain a deeper understanding of the PLA's deployment and operations. As a result, the U.S. military often conducts reconnaissance activities in the sea and air space of the first island chain, including the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea. In recent years, they have also invested resources such as the MQ-4C Poseidon Son drone and the RQ-4B Global Hawk UAV to carry out missions at China's doorstep. In addition, the United States actively seeks the cooperation of other countries to jointly collect PLA intelligence. Recently, Royal Australian Air Force P-8A Sea King maritime anti-submarine patrol aircraft have also operated in the East and Yellow Seas.
Like the F-22A Raptor fighter, the RC-135V strategic reconnaissance aircraft also departed from Kadena base and entered the East China Sea for missions. The RC-135V often conducts close reconnaissance operations close to the baseline of territorial waters, which shows the confidence of the US military. However, on March 6, the PLA did not respond passively, but successfully failed the US Air Force RC-135V strategic reconnaissance aircraft by using J-16D "Roaring Wolf" electronic warfare aircraft. The J-16D electronic warfare aircraft has powerful electromagnetic interference capabilities and is equipped with four large electronic jamming pods, which can achieve full-band interference. Therefore, the US Air Force RC-135V strategic reconnaissance aircraft is powerless in the face of the J-16D electronic warfare aircraft because it lacks anti-jamming capabilities.
Now, the PLA has been equipped with J-16D electronic warfare aircraft on a large scale, laying a solid foundation for its combat effectiveness. Electromagnetic warfare is becoming a key area of modern warfare, and the J-16D electronic warfare aircraft is emerging and playing an important role in this area. Through this incident, we can see the great progress made by the PLA in the field of electronic warfare, which will surely play an important role in future wars.
In my opinion, this incident once again underscores the critical importance of intelligence in modern warfare. By skillfully setting traps and applying advanced technologies, countries can gain an advantage in the field of information and thus gain an advantageous position in practical action. For the mainland, the development of electronic warfare is also an indispensable part, and it will play an increasingly important role in the process of safeguarding national interests and maintaining security.
In summary, the incident reveals the importance of intelligence and electronic warfare in modern military competition, as well as the rapid development of the PLA in these areas. At the same time, the US military continues to try to spy on the movements of the PLA, but it also faces the challenge of the PLA's advanced electronic jamming technology. This incident highlights the criticality of intelligence warfare and the emergence of electronic warfare in future warfare. Intelligence and electronic warfare will continue to play a vital role in national security and defense strategies.
