In recent years, there have been many classic cases of bayonet fighting incidents in China and the United States, including the close interception of the US B-52H strategic bomber by the PLA J-11 heavy fighter after intruding into the South China Sea. At that time, the PLA's J-11 heavy fighter approached the US B-52H strategic bomber in the middle of the night, and made several close maneuvers in close proximity near the US plane. In fact, there are also some scruples for US pilots, because the B-52H strategic bomber has the advantage of bomb load, but the maneuverability is very poor, and the B-52H strategic bomber is also worried about the occurrence of an air collision at night, and once such an air collision occurs, the probability of survival of the US military pilot is much lower than that of our pilots. Of course, in addition to the nighttime confrontation, according to media reports, during the "shoulder-to-shoulder" military exercise between the United States and the Philippines, the US B-52H strategic bomber was once again intercepted by the PLA J-11 heavy fighter after breaking into the South China Sea, and even the US military plane had withdrawn to the airspace east of Taiwan Island.
Recently, while PLA warplanes and warships have intensively patrolled the sea and airspace around Taiwan Island to conduct combat patrols, the PLA has once again issued a warning to the US side. According to a piece of information reported by Taiwan media, a surface ship of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) used radio to directly shout to the US military plane: The transponder identification code 1533 aircraft has entered the range of our firepower, please adjust its course immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences. In the past, although the PLA has issued many warnings to the US military, in fact the PLA has rarely issued such a fierce warning to the US military, and even directly shouted that the US military plane has entered the range of our firepower. According to the information obtained by the War Research Institute, many fighters dispatched by the US military that day included the E-3C early warning aircraft and the MQ-4C Poseidon Son UAV.
The War Research Institute believes that it is actually not uncommon for the PLA to call out US military planes to drive them away, but it is very rare for such a tough attitude to drive away US military planes. While the PLA was strongly warning the U.S. military, two aircraft carriers that the U.S. military had previously been active in the Indo-Pacific region also began to withdraw. The USS Roosevelt nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which had previously flaunted its military presence in the South China Sea, now has left Japan on May 16.
The U.S. military has always flaunted its might at China's doorstep, but now the U.S. aircraft carriers are beginning to deliberately leave, and the war research believes that this may also be related to the approach of 520. Lai Qingde will officially announce his inauguration on May 20, and will the arrival of 520 lead to a new round of tension in the cross-strait situation? In fact, the United States is also worried. In the past, after the tension in the Taiwan Strait, the United States mostly increased the deployment of aircraft carriers, but now the United States has made the decision to withdraw two aircraft carriers, which is obvious, the United States attitude has changed.
The War Research Institute believes that the withdrawal of the United States' twin aircraft carriers on the eve of 520 is a very abnormal action, and such a move is very likely to show that Lai Qingde is about to be played by the United States before he takes office. In the past, the United States has been sending signals that the United States will strongly support Taiwan, but for now, the withdrawal of the two American aircraft carriers also shows that the United States does not want to continue to stir up trouble at China's doorstep, and even the United States is worried about a series of miscalculations.
