In the past, the United States often relied on its powerful military strength to wantonly flaunt its might and show off its force around the mainland, which is really outrageous. However, with the rapid growth of our military's overall strength in recent years, the US military's "military coercion" has become more and more ineffective. Not long ago, CCTV publicly disclosed the picture of our army's J-11 fighter confronting the US F-18 series carrier-based fighter in the South China Sea. According to the content of CCTV's public report, the confrontation between the two sides at that time was very intense, and the situation was extremely tense.
It turned out that, according to the information released by CCTV, on the one hand, the number of F-18 fighters in the US military at that time was four, while the number of Jian-11 fighters in our army was only two, and the US military had a relative numerical advantage. On the other hand, the US military also went very far and rampantly and directly turned on the fire control radar to lock on to our fighters! Friends with a certain degree of military knowledge must know that such a move by the US military actually means that it is ready to open fire directly! Therefore, under such circumstances, we can say without exaggeration that the situation at that time can really be described as "imminent"!
As we all know, the F-18 fighters belong to the aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft of the US military in active service, and the appearance of this type of fighter in the waters of the South China Sea is very likely to mean that the powerful 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the US military is eyeing it not far away! And the US military, whether it is a Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier or a Ford-class nuclear aircraft carrier, can carry at least dozens of carrier-based fighters. Therefore, it is very likely that these four F-18s are just the "vanguard" of the US military's brazen military provocation! This is very likely to be the reason why these F-18s dare to be so rampant!
In the eyes of the Americans, their own aircraft carrier formation is unique in the world, and one or two aircraft carrier formations can even deter a medium-sized country! However, what the Americans may not have expected is that this time the US military's "wishful thinking" will not work! How can the PLA of our army, which is incomparably powerful, heroic, fearless, and invincible, be intimidated by the US military's frenzied provocation? In the face of the frenzied provocation of the US military, especially when the enemy is strong and we are weak, our army's Jian-11 fighter fleet did not flinch in the slightest, but resolutely responded in accordance with the law! It may even be ready to make sacrifices and resolutely safeguard the sacred sovereignty and dignity of the motherland!
According to CCTV's public report, in the face of the superior strength of the US military, our army's Jian-11 fighter fleet still succeeded in driving it away according to law! Our army's fighter fleet has successfully safeguarded the sacred sovereignty and dignity of the motherland and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the US military.
Why, then, did the US military finally have to die down and be successfully driven away by our side when it was the first to turn on the fire control radar to provoke the fighter planes, despite having a numerical superiority in the number of fighters? According to a CCTV report, one of the J-11 pilots of our military who was on a mission personally stated that the pilots of our fighters made radio contact with the US military, and it was in the course of these exchanges that the US planes realized that they were not facing ordinary pilots, and even in the case of numerical superiority, the US military itself could not take advantage of the slightest, so it is not surprising that the US military would leave in a hurry under such circumstances.
In addition, the most fundamental reason for the US military's defeat and retreat this time is that the balance of military strength between China and the United States has long been tilted in favor of China. After years of development, the overall strength of our military has long since changed from what it used to be, and within the first island chain such as the South China Sea, the US military is very likely to have no return in the end, let alone one aircraft carrier formation, even if two or even three aircraft carrier formations come in a vigorous manner. Within the first island chain, our military has established a very complete "anti-access, area denial" combat system. Our military's powerful Dongfeng series of missiles, shore-based fighters, and shore-based bombers have already successfully laid a net of heaven and earth in the first island chain, and even the aircraft carrier formation, which the US military is most proud of, will only "throw itself into a net" if it wants to provoke within the first island chain including the South China Sea!
Therefore, against this background, although the US fighter plane that came to provoke this time turned on the fire control radar very frantically, it still did not have the courage to open fire in the end. The reason is also very simple: Although our army only dispatched two Jian-11 fighters on the surface, behind these two fighters represents the entire PLA's huge naval and air combat system! And such a huge system is undoubtedly impossible for a single US aircraft carrier formation to shake!
Through this incident, we can once again see that although the US military often behaves very rampant on the surface, it is nothing more than a "paper tiger" with a fierce inner look! Such a US military may be able to fight a good fight, but if it encounters a "hard stubble," it will inevitably flee from the wind!
