At the same time, Steve Koehler, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, was invited to Qingdao, China, to attend the 19th annual meeting of the Western Pacific Naval Forum. As soon as Steve Koehler arrived in China, the aircraft carrier "Roosevelt" under his jurisdiction forced his way into Scarborough Shoal. It is worth mentioning that the day before, the aircraft carrier was also located in the waters north of the Reed Beach of the Spratly Islands. It can be seen from this that the US aircraft carrier's forced intrusion into Huangyan Island is a direct attack on China.
Since the person who came is not good, we must also show our own attitude. When "Roosevelt" arrived at Scarborough Shoal, our navy sent 2 054A frigates and 1 815A electronic reconnaissance ship.
After being surrounded by three warships of the Chinese Navy, "Roosevelt" did not carry out any "counterattack" measures, but directly circled the spot and then "fled" and retreated to the vicinity of Singapore.
It stands to reason that the firepower of the 054A is not comparable with that of the US aircraft carrier, and the 815A is not equipped with any firepower devices. In the face of such three Chinese warships, why did the US aircraft carrier, which was provocative, suddenly choose to retreat?
The appearance of the US aircraft carrier is clearly aimed at deterring China
On April 20, the Roosevelt's activities near Scarborough Shoal were spotted by the mainland navy, and the aircraft carrier has not penetrated deep into the South China Sea since March. This sudden in-depth activity in the South China Sea is still at a sensitive period when the "Shoulder to Shoulder-24" exercise is approaching, and what is the purpose of "Roosevelt"?
A total of 17,000 people participated in the exercise, which mainly carried out dynamic missile strikes, maritime security, air and missile defense, network defense, and information operations.
The location of the exercise is also very special, not far from Taiwan, Nansha Islands and other Chinese areas, and even the Philippines will carry out an island-grabbing exercise near Scarborough Shoal.
In addition, this US aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of 100,000 tons and is carrying more than 70 advanced carrier-based aircraft of various kinds. Both the tonnage and the overall combat effectiveness are above the mainland's "Shandong ship" and "Liaoning ship". Therefore, when "Roosevelt" appeared in the South China Sea, it meant that the scale and level of the "Shoulder to Shoulder 24" jointly launched by the United States and the Philippines were instantly raised by several grades.
When Roosevelt appeared near Scarborough Shoal, the dynamics on the deck of its aircraft carrier were also clearly visible. Unlike in the past, this time the deck of the aircraft carrier was full of carrier-based aircraft. Although such an arrangement will cause the deck to have no space for military aircraft to take off, the deterrent effect is very obvious, after all, when the deck is covered with all kinds of advanced military aircraft, it can not only show the strength of the US Air Force, but also show the super combat power of the US aircraft carrier and the ability to strike at the enemy.
Recently, the US has been taking frequent actions in Taiwan and the South China Sea, not only intending to provide Taiwan with 1.9 billion yuan in military aid, but also repeatedly expressing its stance on the South China Sea issue to support the Philippines.
After that, the United States did not seem to be satisfied with these verbal deterrences, and in addition to launching the "Shoulder to Shoulder 24" exercise with the Philippines, it also deployed the "Typhon" intermediate-range missile system on the Philippine island of Luzon, posing a great threat to the cities on the southeast coast of the mainland.
Although the US side has been invited to attend the annual naval meeting held on the mainland, it has allowed the US aircraft carrier to trespass on Scarborough Shoal at the same time. On the one hand, the United States does not want to completely tear its face with China, but on the other hand, it does not forget to support the Philippines, which is really hard.
Why is the US so afraid of 815A?
This time, the US aircraft carrier made an emergency circle, retreated to the waters near Singapore, and deployed all carrier-based aircraft to the deck, which may have a lot to do with the 815A. The U.S. military has always been very afraid of the 815A, because all the U.S. warships have no privacy in front of this electronic reconnaissance ship.
The "big ball" on its body has a super strong information reconnaissance capability, and as long as it is within a certain range, it can automatically collect information from other warships. In other words, when the 815A is close to the "Roosevelt", it can automatically receive and record all the equipment that relies on radio signals, such as radio communications, radar, and weapon control systems on the US aircraft carrier.
The 815A can not only collect it by itself, but also automatically parse the password rules, so as to crack the military secrets on the US aircraft carrier, as well as the data of related equipment. In this way, the PLA will have a full understanding of the "Roosevelt" and all the equipment and carrier-based aircraft on the ship.
In order to prevent itself from becoming "transparent," the US aircraft carrier can only avoid the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, and turn off all non-essential radar and communication equipment, so as to evade the reconnaissance of the 815A.
However, the US aircraft carrier did not want to give up this opportunity to deter the Chinese side, so it put all the carrier-based aircraft on the deck to show the Chinese side their strong muscles. However, the US side needs to know one thing, that is, China is not frightened, not to mention that you are just putting it on the ground, even if it really launches an attack on China, there is no chance of winning at China's doorstep.
Obviously, the U.S. military even did this, so after seeing the 815A, it not only immediately turned off all non-essential radio equipment, but also carried out an emergency maneuver of the aircraft carrier - "Anderson Maneuver", and quickly retreated to the vicinity of Singapore. I have to say that this wave of U.S. troops is really fast.
When I saw such a US military, I wanted to ask Marcos Jr.: Do you really think that when the Sino-Philippine war comes, the US military will come to help you?
