The U.S. Navy has a fairly large number of Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers in the combat sequence, and in the past, this kind of destroyer with the main air defense mission can also bring a very powerful deterrent to China, but with the birth of 055 and the mass production of 052D missile destroyers, the threat of Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers to China has become lower and lower. In recent years, China has also continued to display the Type 055 10,000-ton missile destroyer, which is far more effective than the Burke-class warships of the United States due to its displacement tonnage, which also makes the Type 055 10,000-ton missile destroyer more effective in deterring competitors. According to the information obtained by the War Research Institute, the Type 055 10,000-ton missile destroyer has sailed around Japan many times in the past period, and during the period of sailing around Japan, these 055 large drives have even drawn a Japanese-shaped navigation trajectory.
From the point of view of performance, the Type 055 10,000-ton missile destroyer can even single-handedly take on the entire Philippine Navy, but now the Philippines obviously does not know the height of the sky, and is constantly launching provocations against China, especially in some sensitive waters of the South China Sea. The Philippines has been using supply ships to resupply the illegally beached Sierra Madre tank landing ship in the South China Sea, and despite repeated interceptions from the Chinese coast guard, the Philippine side is still not giving up. Earlier, it was reported that during the May Day holiday, the PLA's 055 type 10,000-ton missile destroyer Dalian ship formation has been interspersed with the Philippines, judging from such a ship lineup, the 055 type 10,000-ton missile destroyer should carry out the operation of going out to the far sea, but foreign media pointed out that at present, a 055 type 10,000-ton missile destroyer has appeared on Mischief Reef 16 nautical miles away from Ren'ai Reef, does this mean that 055 that should carry out far-sea operations is not leaving?
In the PLA's combat sequence, the 055 type 10,000-ton missile destroyer has initially formed a numerical advantage, and the PLA is currently equipped with 8 055-type 10,000-ton missile destroyers, and the 055-type 10,000-ton missile destroyer that appears on Mischief Reef today may be another 10,000-ton missile destroyer, and it may not be the Dalian ship that was interspersed with the Philippines before, and it may even be the Xianyang ship, but no matter which 05500000 ton drive has strong combat strength, there are 055 16 nautical miles away from Ren'ai Jiao, does the Philippines dare to come to replenish?
In recent years, the Philippines has been involved in a series of ship collisions with the China Coast Guard, and the war research believes that after the collision, if China uses the 055 type 10,000-ton drive, what should the Philippines do? The huge gap in displacement could even lead to the capsizing of the Filipino ship directly after ramming 055. Although the United States has moved out of the so-called US-Philippines mutual defense treaty, believing that as long as there are Filipino deaths, then the United States will assist in the defense of the Philippines and go to war with China, American experts have raised the question of whether it is really worth it for the United States to go to war with China for the sake of reefs in the Indo-Pacific region.
Nowadays, the Type 055 10,000-ton missile destroyer is much more valuable for the deterrent purpose of the Philippines and the United States than the actual combat, and in this case, the War Research Institute believes that the United States and the Philippines are best able to understand the warning, and at present, no surface ship in the world dares to provoke the Type 055 10,000-ton missile destroyer.
