According to the footage captured by satellites, on May 5, a 055 drive suddenly appeared at a wharf in the South China Sea. As the mainland's most advanced large warship, this large ship appeared in the South China Sea during the non-exercise stage, and it is very likely that it was related to the US-Philippine military exercises that were being held at that time.
From April 22 to May 10, the United States and the Philippines conducted more than 20 days of military exercises in the South China Sea, almost all of which were aimed at China. In such a situation, China is bound to take countermeasures to prevent the United States and the Philippines from taking a surprise action.
This time, the 055 drive docked at Mischief Island in the South China Sea, to a large extent, it was aimed at the United States and the Philippines. According to the strength of the Philippines, a 052D on the mainland can be used in full seconds. If the People's Liberation Army plans to use the 055 drive to suppress the Philippine army, it is completely killing chickens with a knife.
Considering that the United States and the Philippines have dispatched quite a few warships this time, including France, Australia, and Japan, these allies have also dispatched several warships. Once a fire conflict breaks out, 052D is bound to be a little difficult to deal with, so this time the PLA will dispatch 055 to drive.
In addition, the mainland's H-6K also came to join in the fun. On May 4, a promotional video was released on the Internet, which included a picture of the H-6K taking off and landing on Woody Island.
As a very powerful bomber, the sudden appearance in the South China Sea is also of extraordinary significance. Once the H-6K and 055 drive form a dual line of defense on the ground and in the air, or an offensive, all the extraterritorial ships participating in the exercise in the South China Sea will not want to go back this time. Even if you can go back, you will inevitably suffer a heavy blow!
Obviously, we are prepared for the worst, that is, war. If the United States and the Philippines have to take advantage of this exercise to stir up trouble, break out a conflict with China, or even escalate into a war, then the combination of 055 + H-6K can definitely make them suffer. In other words, we are waiting for the first shot from the United States and the Philippines!
The combination of 055 + H-6K is like a needle in the sea, so that the United States and the Philippines cannot set off the wind and waves in the South China Sea
The Philippine Navy does not have any "valuable things", and there are currently 4 capital ships, 2 of which are "Jose Rizal"-class frigates, made in South Korea; There are also 2 "Hamilton" class patrol ships, which are made in the United States and are still second-hand.
Combined, these four warships can only launch four anti-ship missiles and ultra-short-range anti-aircraft missiles, as well as some small and medium-caliber artillery pieces that are not very powerful. As for the other warships, not to mention, if they are placed in China, it is estimated that children will not take them seriously. If the Philippine Navy can't think of it, the mainland only needs to send a 052DL warship to fight them honestly.
The reason why the mainland still wants to send a combination of 055 + H-6K is mainly for the ships of the United States, Australia, Japan, and France. The first is the US "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier battle group, which has recently been hovering around the South China Sea. If the US military wants to take advantage of this exercise to do something, then "Roosevelt" will naturally be responsible for firepower.
Second, although the warships sent by the United States, France, Australia, and Japan are "somewhat old," they also have a certain combat effectiveness, and the number of soldiers involved this time is as high as 17,000, which our side cannot underestimate.
The 055 is equipped with two new S-band and X-band active phased array radars, which can keep the effective detection range of the 055 at least about 550 kilometers. In other words, according to the location where 055 is now docked at the dock of Mischief Island, it is completely possible to detect the Ren'ai Shoal next to it, and even the Philippine operations on the southeast coast can be detected.
If there is a military conflict, the Hongqi-9B regional air defense missiles and land-based cruise missiles on the 055 drive can not only intercept the missiles launched by the enemy, but also use cruise missiles to counterattack. What's more, the latter has a range of up to 2000 km directly. As long as the Philippines is not honest, cruise missiles can teach them how to behave at any time.
As for the H-6K, the combat radius is about 3,500 kilometers, it can carry 6 different offensive missiles, and it can strike at targets at a distance of 5,500 kilometers.
If the U.S. military finds trouble, the H-6K can directly destroy the military bases set up by the U.S. military in the Philippines, Guam and other places, destroying the U.S. military's deployment in the first island chain for many years.
Strengthen the deployment in the South China Sea, just waiting for the first shot from the United States and the Philippines
In the past, because of Lao Du, China has always been more tolerant of the Philippines and has always harbored illusions that it can restore relations between China and the Philippines. The same is true for the United States, and China and the Philippines always hope that China and the United States and China and the Philippines can coexist in harmony and achieve common development. However, the cruelty of reality is like a slap in the face, which wakes up the Chinese side again and again.
Even though China is cautious about war, and still less does it want to go to war with the United States and the Philippines, the situation in the South China Sea can no longer be tolerated by China. If we endure it any longer, the South China Sea will be lost.
It can be seen from the recent deployment of the PLA that the military deployment force in the South China Sea is being strengthened, such as Mischief Island, Subi Island, Yongdai Island and other islands have built a large number of hangars and stored a large number of military aircraft.
This military deployment has gone beyond the standard of peacetime defense, in other words, China is now ready for war with the United States and the Philippines. Just wait for the United States and the Philippines to fire the first shot, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army can respond to the battle at any time.
Marcos had been clamoring that the United States would help them, but it was widely believed that the American military would not end. After all, the United States is now burdened by many conflicts and wars, especially in the Middle East. The chances of the US military and the PLA winning a war are very small, and if the PLA is provoked again when its troops and weapons and equipment are dispersed, then the United States may have an accident at any time, and the US military simply cannot draw too many ships and military planes to do things in the South China Sea.
Therefore, the combination of Continental 055 + H-6K is completely sufficient. What's more, right at the door of their own home, 055 + H-6K is not enough, and other ships and military aircraft can also rush to support as soon as possible, what are you afraid of!
