Such ships are relatively common in the Philippine Navy and are able to operate freely in relatively shallow waters. However, such ships are often at a disadvantage when it comes to contacts with other navies. In contrast, the Type 056 missile frigate dispatched by China is a modern warship with multiple functions.
It is equipped with weapons such as multi-barreled anti-ship missiles, naval guns, short-range anti-aircraft missiles and secondary guns, and can also carry out underwater search and strike, anti-submarine and anti-mine operations, comprehensively enhancing the combat capability of the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea. In addition, the Type 056 missile frigate adopts a new integrated combat system, which can detect and track a variety of ships, aircraft and missiles, ensuring rapid response to enemy ships in an emergency.
Therefore, when making contact with Philippine ships, the Type 056 missile frigate has more powerful combat capabilities and self-protection capabilities, and Philippine ships are difficult to match. The occurrence of this "radio confrontation" incident once again shows that the situation in the South China Sea region is still very tense.
The Philippines has repeatedly taken provocative actions to try to expand its sphere of influence in the South China Sea, while China has continuously sent warships and aircraft to patrol and reconnoiter to maintain its sovereignty and security in the South China Sea. However, such confrontation and conflict will only make relations between the two countries more tense, which is not conducive to the stability and development of the South China Sea region.
Therefore, we need to strengthen communication and consultation, resolve various disputes through peaceful means, and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea region. It is worth mentioning that the United States carried out a series of modernization modifications to the "Balyu Bay" class tank landing ship in the 90s of the last century, allowing it to continue to serve to this day. However, due to the extremely long age of the ship, the aging degree of mechanical equipment and systems in all aspects is getting higher and higher, and it is difficult to adapt to the needs of modern warfare.
In contrast, the Chinese navy is constantly upgrading to enhance its strength and capabilities. It has successively developed modern warships such as Type 052C and Type 052D destroyers, Type 056 frigates, Type 072A and Type 071 amphibious ships, which have greatly improved the comprehensive strength of the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea.
In addition, the China Coast Guard is also constantly growing, not only equipped with high-speed patrol boats, helicopters and other modern equipment, but also actively participating in various forms of maritime cooperation such as joint patrols and joint law enforcement, playing an important role in maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea. In general, China has always adhered to a peaceful, rational and fair stance on the South China Sea issue, but at the same time firmly upheld its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
In the face of criminal acts and provocations, China will not show weakness and will take firm and decisive actions to safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea region and its own national interests.
