U.S. littoral combat ships arrive near the South China Sea
American Littoral Combat Ship
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the United States was uneasy and kind, and united its allies Japan, Australia, and the Philippines to hold military exercises in the South China Sea. The most representative is that Ukraine is in the Black Sea, using unmanned boat swarms to attack the Russian Black Sea Fleet, causing a major blow to the Russian Black Sea Fleet, if according to the topography of the South China Sea, similar to the waters of the Black Sea in Crimea, they are all in a closed sea area, and the US military borrows the Philippines as an unmanned boat forward base, which will cause a lot of trouble to the mainland navy.
The first reminder was the Russian media, which reported that in the eastern waters of the bay, under the cover of night, there were three Independence-class littoral combat ships sailing slowly, and the busy crew on the deck was performing a "top secret mission", a long aircraft was thrown into the sea through the tail hatch, and the aircraft disappeared into the sea by its own power.
This kind of elongated submarine vehicle is an intelligent vehicle ———UAV planned to be built by the US military, and after being launched, it will be hidden in hot waters for a long time, and in the event of a conflict, these US military unmanned underwater vehicles will be activated to quickly find targets stored in the system and with the same sonar characteristics. Due to their very small size, they are difficult to detect in normal times, and can only be easily detected when they attack quickly after activation.
American unmanned underwater vehicles
This report by the Russian media is a kind reminder that the US military is testing new maritime tactics, due to the low cost of this submarine, the US military can build in large quantities, this set of tactics is proposed by the US Defense Innovation Agency, proposing that the cruising range should reach 500 nautical miles - 1000 nautical miles, carry 453 kg of payload, and can linger in hot waters for many days, or "dormant" For a longer period of time, it will be able to reach an attack speed of 64 kilometers per hour at the end, and it is planned to enter mass production in 2025, with an annual production of at least 120 boats.
During the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Russian Navy suffered a serious blow to Ukrainian unmanned boats, and it was the United Kingdom and the United States that provided Ukraine with unmanned boat technology, that is to say, the United States has tested its own new tactics in Ukraine, and it has become a significant country, not only with offensive attributes, but also with the attributes of blockading relevant sea areas.
Losses of the Black Sea Fleet
The above is a statistical chart of Ukraine's destruction of the Russian Black Sea Fleet since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine can be said to have no surface combat force, but such a country actually made the Russian Black Sea Fleet suffer heavy losses, like today's Philippines? At the beginning of the article, it was mentioned that the waters of the South China Sea are similar to the Black Sea, they are closed waters, which are particularly suitable for this new type of warfare, and the early US military has used a few but refined tactics to confront a big country like Russia, and now it is more pursuing quantitative superiority and cost control, which is also a manifestation of the US military in doing protracted confrontation, which is not good news for us.
