The Canada frigate "Montreal" is like street hooligans.
According to the news released by Senior Colonel Li Xi, spokesman for the Eastern Theater of Operations, on July 31, the Canada frigate "Montreal" sailed through the Taiwan Strait and publicly hyped it. The Eastern Theater organized naval and air forces to follow and monitor the whole process, and dealt with them in accordance with laws and regulations.
The spokesman pointed out that the Canadian side's actions have disrupted and disrupted the situation and undermined peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. The troops in the theater are on high alert at all times and are ready to respond to all threats and provocations.
The frigate "Montreal" is also a habitual offender who trespasses the Taiwan Strait. On June 3, 2023, it followed the United States destroyer "Zhong Yun" into the Taiwan Strait. At that time, the U.S.-Canada formation was cross-cut by the Chinese 052D destroyer at a distance of 137 meters. It is forgetting the lessons of last year.
How to describe this behavior of the Canada frigate "Montreal"? It can be seen as a second-rate street man who is covered by a gang boss, and thinks that if he is covered by a boss, he can pick quarrels and provoke troubles and act recklessly. I don't know how many pounds and taels I have.
The frigate "Montreal" is a Halifax-class frigate of the Canada Navy with a displacement of 5200 tons. When I visited Vancouver, Canada, in 2000 with a ship formation, I visited this class of frigates. At that time, it was felt that the "Halifax" class frigate was quite advanced. For example, the LM2500 gas turbine power system is used, which can cruise continuously for 9,500 nautical miles at a speed of 30 knots, and 16 vertical launch units are equipped with RIM162 improved "Sea Sparrow" missiles and MK46 light torpedoes. But now looking back, the combat capabilities of the "Halifax" class frigates are not only inferior to the 052D destroyers, but also to the 054A.
Dealing with such a little rascal, if you ignore him, he will be even more unscrupulous, and he will not know how thick the sky is. You're paying too much attention to him, and you're giving him face too much. A nasty little rascal indeed.
There are many ways to deal with such a small night. For example, flying in the air, crossing in front, chasing in the rear, and so on. If the other side approaches China's territorial sea line, it can also launch tracer bullets in the air and block and shoot at the sea in the direction of its advance to force it to sail out of the threatening course. Either way, the advantage is entirely on our side. And we have not violated international rules either.
This time, the Eastern Theater organized naval and air forces to follow and monitor the whole process. Although the specific method of follow-up was not disclosed, it is believed that the Eastern Theater has made appropriate arrangements for the use of troops
