In the vast sky over the South China Sea, with dense clouds and a hint of an unusual air breeze, the US Navy aircraft carrier "Roosevelt" quietly sailed into the sensitive waters south of Scarborough Shoal on 20 April, like an uninvited guest.
This is not only a rare forward deployment of the "Roosevelt" this month, but also adds a bit of gunpowder to the already treacherous situation in the South China Sea.
The unprecedented scale of the upcoming joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines, codenamed "Shoulder to Shoulder," has undoubtedly heightened tensions in the region, with more than 17,000 participants.
In the face of the strong move of the United States, the Chinese Navy quickly showed its sword and took concrete actions to defend national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
According to reliable sources, China not only quickly mobilized at least two advanced Type 054A frigates, but also sent the 792 electronic reconnaissance ship, known as the "electromagnetic ghost", to the waters near Scarborough Shoal.
This layout, like a precise move on a Go board, is not only a direct response to the US aircraft carrier, but also a demonstration of China's electronic warfare strength.
The Type 054A frigate is known for its balanced comprehensive combat capability and modern weaponry, while the 792 electronic reconnaissance ship is a trump card of the Chinese Navy in the field of electronic warfare.
Equipped with active phased array radar and cutting-edge electronic listening equipment, the 792 ship is able to capture and analyze the enemy's electronic signals in real time, providing valuable strategic intelligence for our side.
China's Type 054A frigates are distinguished by their balanced comprehensive combat capabilities and modern armament.
These frigates not only possess powerful anti-ship, anti-submarine and anti-air capabilities, but are also equipped with advanced fire control systems and radar equipment, which are capable of effectively responding to a variety of threats in a complex naval warfare environment.
China's electronic reconnaissance ship 792 is a rare existence, which is equipped with an active phased array radar and cutting-edge electronic listening equipment, which can conduct high-precision signal reconnaissance and analysis under electromagnetic interference.
This makes the 792 a trump card of the Chinese Navy in the field of electronic warfare.
The performance of the 792 ship is called "electromagnetic ghost", and it has strong electromagnetic stealth capabilities.
It can get close to enemy ships and conduct reconnaissance and jamming of their electromagnetic signatures without being detected.
When the 792 electronic reconnaissance ship slowly approached the "Roosevelt", this could almost be interpreted as a direct lock of the Chinese Navy on the American aircraft carrier.
Under the powerful electronic interference, it is very likely that the "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier battle group has taken emergency measures, including shutting down or reducing the use of communications and radar facilities to avoid the leakage of critical information, and at the same time avoid the risk of further interference or even paralysis of electronic equipment.
This incident demonstrated the great strength of the Chinese Navy in the field of electronic warfare.
The information battlefield has become an important part of modern warfare, and the ability to effectively conduct electromagnetic interference and reconnaissance is increasingly valued.
The Chinese Navy demonstrated its technical strength and strategic intentions by sending 792 electronic reconnaissance ships.
In this confrontation without gunpowder, although the "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier battle group put on a seemingly invulnerable strongest lineup, under the shadow of electronic warfare, its combat effectiveness was undoubtedly seriously restricted.
Relying on its superiority in electronic warfare, the Chinese Navy has achieved effective tracking and deterrence against US supercarriers with only two 054A frigates and one 792 electronic reconnaissance ship, demonstrating the practical combat application of asymmetric combat ideas.
The maritime confrontation between China and the United States is not only a direct collision of the naval strength of the two countries, but also a profound contest of strategic will and tactical wisdom.
Under the close attention of the international community, every step of the action of both sides is full of profound meaning, testing the wisdom and courage of policymakers.
For the general public, this incident once again reminds us that the protection of peace is inseparable from a strong national defense, and even more inseparable from a cool head and a firm stand.
Against this backdrop, the Chinese Navy's rapid response and efficient deployment is not only a successful tactical operation, but also a demonstration of strategic confidence.
As China has always emphasized, the South China Sea should become a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation.
Maintaining a peaceful and stable environment in these blue waters requires the joint efforts and respect of all countries concerned, and any unilateralist adventurous behavior should be eliminated by the torrent of history.
Let us hope that through dialogue and cooperation, the South China Sea will have a more tranquil and harmonious tomorrow, and become a bridge connecting countries rather than a chasm that separates them.
In this special confrontation, the actions of the Chinese Navy have undoubtedly taught us a vivid lesson in international relations -- in a complex and ever-changing international environment, the best way to safeguard national interests is to maintain determination, adhere to principles, and speak with strength.
The importance of electronic warfare is becoming more and more apparent.
Whether in terms of technology or strategy, the Chinese Navy has been making steady progress, constantly improving its strength, and making positive contributions to safeguarding national interests and regional peace and stability.
We look forward to the Chinese Navy making more brilliant achievements in the future and winning glory for the country and the people.
