In the middle of last month, the Philippines agreed to the deployment of U.S. land-based intermediate-range missiles in northern Luzon Island.
And how special is the geographical location of this Luzon island?
Not only in the South China Sea hotspots, but most importantly, Luzon is only 400 kilometers from the Taiwan Strait.
The U.S. Army's Typhon medium-range missile system deployed on Luzon is mainly capable of launching Tomahawk missiles and Standard-6 missiles.
The Standard-6 has a short range, but is just capable of covering a range of 400 km.
As for the Tomahawk missile, the coverage distance is far away, which is enough to cover a range of 1800 km.
In other words, the U.S. military deployed the Typhon medium-range missile on Luzon Island this time, basically achieving full coverage of China's Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea strategically.
Once China and the United States open fire, the US military will be able to carry out missile coverage of the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible.
And this is not the end, according to relevant sources, the United States not only intends to deploy an "intermediate-range missile system" in the Philippines, but also, for its own Asia-Pacific strategy.
It is quite possible to break up into pieces and disperse their military forces to various Asia-Pacific countries.
This time it's the Philippines, next time it's likely to be Japan, South Korea, and so on.
Moreover, through the series of information, the United States can easily realize the linkage and scale of military base deployment.
Once the United States really deploys its intermediate-range missile system along China's periphery, it will indeed be a huge threat to China.
So in the face of military provocations by the United States.
During a recent defense dialogue between China and the United States.
The Chinese side has directly pointed out that the deployment of the US military intermediate-range missile system seriously threatens regional security, and if the US insists on going its own way, it will be countered.
This time, China is really not just talking, but really taking action.
Relevant information pointed out that the PLA H-6K bomber recently took off from Fiery Cross Reef.
Why is the H-6K taking off at Fiery Cross Reef widely regarded as a response to the U.S. military?
Actually, we need to figure out these two things:
The first thing is how good the H-6K is!
The H-6K has a combat radius of up to 3,500 kilometers, and is also equipped with hypersonic missiles, once it is launched, not to mention Luzon, the entire Philippines, including the South China Sea, is under the shadow of the H-6K.
As the Eastern God of War, the appearance of the H-6K does have great lethality!
The second thing is where Fiery Cross Reef is!
Fiery Cross Reef is located in the westernmost part of the Spratly Islands, and is also the farthest from the Philippines compared to Ren'ai Reef and Scarborough Shoal. But this "farthest" is also relatively speaking, and it is 550 kilometers away from the mainland of the Philippines in a straight line, facing the island of Filipabang to the east.
Now the People's Liberation Army has revealed that the H-6K has completed the take-off at Fiery Cross Reef, which has shown that the H-6K has been deployed in the South China Sea.
Once something happens in the South China Sea, the H-6K can take off and land directly in the South China Sea at any time.
It is not only capable of directly bombing US military bases and missile systems deployed on Luzon, but also directly threatening key cities in the Philippines.
After all, the entire Philippines is within the combat radius of the H-6K, and as long as the H-6K wants to do it, the Philippines will definitely not be able to escape!
