The United States always likes to shout about the so-called freedom of navigation, run to the gate of other people's homes to show off their might, try to create pressure on others, and shout about the so-called deterrence, but this policy is becoming more and more unplayable, and now China and Russia are beginning to ask a rhetorical question: Freedom of navigation? Now China and Russia are also following the same example, the United States dares to come to my gate, then I dare to go to the gate of others. On October 18, the latest news was that China and Russia were working together to "brighten the sword" and were organizing a joint military exercise at the gates of Japan.
Sino-Russian formation
If you talk about it, this time you can find a small trouble created by Japan for itself, the former Japanese territorial water was 12 nautical miles, and later changed to 3 nautical miles, mainly to facilitate the movement of American warships, the result became a loophole. The Tsugaru Strait between Hokkaido and Honshu Island has become an international strait, and the chinese and Russian naval joint fleets have just gone directly from here, which is reasonable and legal, and it also shows an operational loophole. In vain, China and Russia were given a right to freedom of action. Places that could not have been passed through casually can now be passed casually, and freedom of navigation can be perfected.
This time, the Sino-Russian combined fleet was fiercely engaged in a large-scale maritime military exercise at the gate of Japan, which was not a simple matter, and both sides sent many ships to participate. The ostensible target is Japan, but in fact it is a sword to the US-India-Pacific strategy, a strong posture of beating dogs for the owner to see.
055 drive
To put it simply, the so-called Indo-Pacific strategy of the United States is a continuation of the blockade policy during the Cold War, and it also wants to win over relevant countries to create a blockade chain that blockades China and Russia. It seems that the scope of the Indo-Pacific strategy is quite large, and now we see a problem, this area is too big, so that it is a bit of a head and tail.
Japan dispatched the Kaga helicopter carrier to participate in the Four-Nation Military Exercise in the Indian Ocean in October, but after what happened on its doorstep, when it wanted to send warships, it found that its strength was stretched. Even if it is transferred back, it is too late.
The main gun fired at the sea
Japan's naval power has been boasted before, and now it is found that the level is not as high as imagined, especially after the entry of a new generation of Chinese and Russian ships into service, Japan's so-called superiority no longer exists, and now Japan wants to maintain its so-called superiority, which is already a dream. This is only a problem for Japan, the United States is also a headache, the so-called Indo-Pacific strategy, the biggest problem is the lack of Southeast Asia. So far, the US military has only one base in Singapore, and it has not been able to pull any country in Southeast Asia into the anti-China camp of the United States, and even Singapore has refused. That is to say, the United States is relatively weak in this direction, and now the United States will form a new fleet there to deploy its forces, but can it really be easy?
Russian missile test firing
Nowadays, the US Navy seems to be very strong, under the requirements of global deployment, it is also very scattered everywhere, including in the Asia-Pacific region, there is no military strength, and it is very good to be able to maintain an aircraft carrier in the Asia-Pacific region, and in many cases there is no aircraft carrier at all. Are Americans willing to tell this reality? Like the current maritime activities, the United States seems to be stretched, how can this look deter others? Obviously, the possibility of being deterred by others is still a little bigger.
