Recently, an incident that shocked military circles has aroused widespread concern.
A Chinese drone operator successfully flew a small drone into the base of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and took aerial photographs of the main battleship "Izumo".
This "forced landing" action not only allowed the Japanese government and the media to "break the big defense", but also exposed the serious loopholes in the defense of Japanese aircraft carriers in drones.
Judging by the published video, the aircraft carrier "Izumo" was undefended in broad daylight, the deck was empty, and the whole ship did not react to the invasion of drones.
This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
Coincidentally, mainland drones also "patronized" Taiwan's Erdan Island.
In the aerial video, the artillery positions and replenishment ships of the Taiwan army were clearly photographed.
However, the Taiwan military did not make any effective countermeasures during the whole process.
Regarding this incident, Taiwanese netizens have expressed doubts and dissatisfaction.
The Kinmen Defense Command admitted to the outside world that the picture was indeed the scene of the Erdan Island garrison carrying out transportation and supply operations.
But their explanation did not quell the doubts of netizens.
In contrast, Japan's response was even more ironic.
Japan's defense minister, Minoru Kihara, said the video may have been "maliciously processed and faked."
This kind of cover-up only raises more questions about the defense capabilities of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
As the pearl of the Sea of Japan, the "Izumo" has a full load displacement of about 30,000 tons after modification, and has completed the carrying experiment of the F-35B stealth fighter.
It is shocking that such an important warship could be so easily broken through the line of defense by drones.
In addition to Japan, the navies of other countries have also been "harassed" by drones.
For example, the British aircraft carrier "Queen Elizabeth" was easily landed and photographed by drones.
These events show that defending against drones has become a very challenging subject.
On the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine, drones have become an important tool for both sides to attack and defend.
Both sides are constantly experimenting with new tactics and equipment to counter the drone threat.
However, there is no perfect solution yet.
In the face of the threat of drones, how can we prevent and defuse it?
First of all, it is essential to regulate the production and use of UAVs.
Second, it is also essential to strengthen the formulation and enforcement of laws and regulations.
Only by starting from the source can we effectively protect against the threat of drones.
In conclusion, the development of UAVs has brought new challenges and opportunities to modern warfare.
We must always be vigilant and increase research and innovation to prepare for the various scenarios that may arise in the future.
At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen international cooperation and exchanges to jointly address the challenges and opportunities brought by drones.
