The People's Liberation Army (PLA) released a video explaining the interception of foreign warships by the 10,000-ton drive, but the facts are not simple. In the South China Sea, China and the United States are facing each other again after eight years, and in the face of the Chinese Navy's fleet, the US aircraft carrier is trying its best to avoid it. After 8 years of confrontation between China and the United States, the situation is completely different, what kind of situation does it highlight?
Recently, the Chinese side released a video showing a rare encounter between the Chinese and US aircraft carrier battle groups. At that time, the warships of the US Navy wanted to rush straight to the Shandong aircraft carrier, and the PLA 10,000-ton 055 ship accelerated towards the US ship, and the horizontal knife immediately blocked in front of it, causing the US ship to leave in embarrassment. However, according to the Taiwan media "China Times News Network", the People's Liberation Army released the video at this time, and the intention was not simple, because in the South China Sea, China and the United States had another military confrontation after 8 years. This time, the Chinese fleet suppressed the 120,000-ton American fleet with a displacement of 200,000.
In fact, the outside world has always been puzzled about the recent dynamics of the Shandong aircraft carrier. Previously, the Shandong ship appeared near the Bass Strait, and the carrier-based aircraft strike range covered the entire Philippine island of Luzon. This means that Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and the missile systems of the US military in the Philippines are within the strike range of the carrier-based aircraft of the Shandong ship. However, the Shandong did not pass through the Bass Strait into the western Pacific Ocean as expected, but sailed northwestward, and then turned around and headed west, taking a very strange route. In view of this situation, Li Zhengjie, a "retired general" of the Taiwan military, believes that the Shandong warship is taking the initiative to intercept the US Navy's "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier so that the latter cannot pass through the South China Sea.
According to the pictures taken by the US satellite, the formation of the Shandong ship this time, the lineup can be said to be extremely emphasized, in addition to the Shandong ship itself, there is also the 075 amphibious assault ship Hainan fleet, and the tonnage of the two has exceeded 100,000 tons. The lineup of escort ships is also very luxurious, including at least 2 0.55 million ton drives, 2 052D destroyers and one 054A frigate, and in the rear of this fleet, there are also 901 large integrated supply ships of the PLA. In addition, there are analysts who believe that this fleet has at least one nuclear submarine to accompany them underwater. In this way, the total tonnage of the PLA fleet exceeds 200,000 tons. For comparison, the American "Roosevelt" had only a few escort ships with a total tonnage of no more than 120,000 tons.
Lu Lishi, a "former naval captain" of the Taiwan military, claimed that at the end of June this year, a confrontation between Chinese and US aircraft carriers had already been conducted. At that time, the US military dispatched EA-18G "Growler" electronic jammers and RC-135 strategic reconnaissance planes, which were suppressed by the PLA's Y-9 electronic warfare aircraft and Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ships. However, the US military's EA-18G "Growler" electronic jammer did not depart from Kadena Air Base, but from a warship. At that time, the only US Navy ship in the nearby waters was the aircraft carrier "Roosevelt," which had been wandering in the South China Sea for a month. At this time, the Shandong ship appeared near the Bass Strait, and the Y-9 electronic warfare plane was also discovered by Taiwan's "defense department."
Second, on July 3, the USS Roosevelt passed through the Bass Strait and entered the South China Sea. Previously, because the PLA's four 077 drives appeared in the South China Sea, the "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier hurriedly withdrew and went all the way north to South Korea. Now, the US aircraft carrier has again entered the South China Sea, and the main purpose is to go to the Middle East and replace the "Eisenhower", which has been withdrawn from the Red Sea. However, the US aircraft carrier has another purpose, that is, to support the Philippines and encourage them to continue to provoke China by using the "passageway" of the South China Sea. However, the "Roosevelt" did not expect that as soon as they passed through the Bass Strait, they saw the Shandong ship and the Type 075 amphibious assault ship for a long time. The U.S. aircraft carrier hurriedly retracted, and wanted to block it from the Sulu Sea in the southern Philippines, and the Shandong ship immediately turned back. Li Zhengjie bluntly said that this is a game of "cat and mouse," with the US aircraft carrier clinging to its head and running around, while the Shandong ship is unhurriedly blocking the way they must pass.
In the eight-year confrontation between China and the United States in the South China Sea, in the face of two US aircraft carrier battle groups, the elite of the Chinese Navy came out together. However, it was not until the exact coordinates were revealed and the PLA bombers were dispatched that the American aircraft carrier quietly left. Now, the invincible American aircraft carrier, seeing the Shandong is like seeing a cat and a mouse. It can be seen that the Chinese Navy has developed from the need to tiptoe to see more US aircraft carriers to the strength of being able to face the US Navy. This situation has also sent a clear signal to the United States: it is no longer possible to contain China, and now we need to think carefully about how to make the situation less embarrassing!
