The U.S. Navy has 11 aircraft carriers, two of which have recently been active in the Asia-Pacific region, and although the CVN 76 Ronald Reagan has held a farewell ceremony and begun to return to the U.S. mainland, the CVN 71 Roosevelt aircraft carrier is ready to set sail for the waters near Taiwan Island at any time. The Roosevelt arrived at Singapore's Changi Naval Port on May 16 for a short break, and the Roosevelt arrived in Singapore in March for a week's rest. The timing of Roosevelt's rest this time was very delicate, because it was before Lai Qingde took office on May 20, and the analysis of the Beacon Front Station believed that the Roosevelt was preparing for the subsequent high-intensity combat deployment.
Judging from the strength of US support for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on Taiwan Island, the US Navy's aircraft carrier will make some moves, and by approaching the waters near Taiwan Island, it will be able to exert pressure on the PLA. While reiterating its adherence to the "one-China policy," the United States has never given up using the "Taiwan card." In addition to military deterrence, it has also continued to arm Taiwan and provided a variety of weapons capable of long-range strikes, thus enhancing Taiwan's military strength in "resisting reunification by force."
While the U.S. Navy aircraft carriers were on standby, China and Russia issued a joint statement, which included statements about the island of Taiwan, in which Russia supported China's actions to promote reunification, and reaffirmed that the island belonged to China and resolutely opposed "Taiwan independence." North Korean officials announced on May 17 that North Korea had conducted a test launch of a tactical surface-to-surface missile in the Sea of Japan. South Korea and Japan also released information on North Korea's ballistic missile test on May 17 and again slammed North Korea's ballistic missile test as undermining regional peace.
According to the information released by the DPRK, the DPRK test-fired the Hwasong-11D series missile on the same day, thus verifying the accuracy and reliability of the missile. According to various sources, the Hwasong-11D already has a strike capability of 300 kilometers, so it can cover most of South Korea's area. The Hwasong-11 is an improvement of North Korea's Iskander tactical surface-to-surface missile in Russia, in fact, South Korea also has a similar Hyunmu series, and South Korea has also obtained Iskander tactical surface-to-surface missile technology from Russia, thus improving South Korea's missile level. Judging by the information that is publicly available, Russia also exports cruise missiles and anti-aircraft missile technology to South Korea.
Russia has reaffirmed its "one-China policy" through a joint statement, and North Korea is also a countermeasure to the United States and its allies by adopting tactical surface-to-surface missiles suitable for the Hwasong-11D at a time when the United States and its allies are aggressive. North Korea has maintained the same position as Russia on a number of issues, and at critical moments, North Korea dared to flex its muscles, thereby weakening the arrogance of the United States. North Korea not only has tactical surface-to-surface missiles, but also intercontinental ballistic missiles, so the United States is very worried about North Korea's ballistic missile test, and the Beacon Front Station believes that it is a language that the Pentagon can understand, as can be seen from the protests of Japan and South Korea.
