While the United States keeps mentioning the so-called Indo-Pacific strategy, the United States is also trying to woo Australia, trying to make Australia also play the role of the vanguard of anti-China urgency, and in the field of defense and military, Australia is very keen to cooperate with various actions of the United States. Some time earlier, the Australian Air Force's P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft had entered the South China Sea to carry out military operations. Although the P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft has the ability to receive fuel in the air, Australia also chose to let these anti-submarine patrol planes first go to the Kadena base of the US military in Japan for deployment, and finally go to the South China Sea to carry out a series of military operations, but after Australia's P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft entered the South China Sea many times, it also had close encounters with the PLA J-16 fighters.
J-16 heavy fighter in recent years is active in the sea around the mainland, which is also to play the J-16 heavy fighter range and air combat capability of the double advantage, and intercept the US P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft is different, in the interception of the Australian Air Force P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft, the PLA directly in the air shot a number of jamming bombs, Australia also claimed that the P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft inhaled a number of foreign objects, which also caused the engine to almost stop in the air, for which the Australian Air Force P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft emergency return, only to escape。 For Australia, today's Australia is a trench but not a wise one, because Australian fighter jets once again ran to China's doorstep to provoke. According to a piece of information disclosed by the Australian side, a helicopter of the Australian Navy was intercepted by the People's Liberation Army at close range in the airspace of the Yellow Sea recently.
The Australian media pointed out that the interception was an MH-60 Sea Hawk helicopter, and after the MH-60 Sea Hawk helicopter entered the airspace near the Yellow Sea, it was intercepted by the PLA heavy fighters, and at the same time, it once again fired a continuous jamming bomb in the air. The reaction of the MH-60 Seahawk helicopter this time is also similar to the reaction of the P-8A some time ago, so the war research also believes that Australia has not achieved a long and wise diet at all.
Unlike the anti-submarine aircraft that have been intercepted in the past, the helicopter is a carrier-based helicopter, which normally can only take off from surface ships, and the appearance of carrier-based helicopters also means that there are Australian surface ships in the waters below conducting joint operations. As a southern hemisphere country, Australia has sent a large number of surface ships and warplanes to China's doorstep to find a sense of presence, obviously in response to many U.S. strategies in the Indo-Pacific region. The current response of the PLA to Australia is not soft at all.
It is worth mentioning that before the J-16 heavy fighter and the Australian Air Force carrier-based helicopter clashed, the PLA had also just intercepted the US B-52H strategic bomber in the South China Sea. In recent years, the United States has stepped up all kinds of provocations at China's doorstep, and in response to the continuous provocations of the US military, the J-16 heavy fighters deployed at the Woody Island airfield have also taken on the heavy responsibility of air defense in the South China Sea. It is understood that the intercepted B-52H strategic bomber is also related to the joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines. Text/Iris
