"The Chinese Air Force has been very clear about how to deal with U.S. aircraft carriers when they enter the waters of the South China Sea, which is to take off bombers." Recently, the US "Forbes" website reported on the contest between the Chinese and AMERICAN militaries in the South China Sea, "In recent months, whenever the US aircraft carrier sails into the South China Sea, China will take off a military aircraft formation containing bomb 6K." The contest between China and the United States in the South China Sea has entered a delicate balance, like the balance of terror between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, but this balance does not rely on nuclear weapons, but on the huge technological superiority of the Chinese military over the US military.
Forbes gave a brief introduction to the contest between China and the United States in the South China Sea this year. The first contest took place on January 23 at the beginning of the year, when the US aircraft carrier formation "Roosevelt" sailed into the South China Sea through the Luzon Strait and began to engage in so-called "free navigation". The entire formation includes one cruiser and two destroyers, as well as 85 carrier-based aircraft and at least 320 missiles of various types, and the overall combat power exceeds that of any country bordering the South China Sea except China. The "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier even went deep into the sea only 5 nautical miles from the territorial line of our Huangyan Island on the same day, posing as if it would break into the territorial waters of our Huangyan Island at any time.
At this time, if our army does not have any action to show that it will not only be the "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier intruding into the territorial waters of Our Huangyan Island and violating our sovereignty. What is more serious is that China will still be considered weak by the neighboring countries in the South China Sea, and the new order in the South China Sea that was hard to establish after the great showdown of the century in 2016 will be broken, and the United States, an extraterritorial country, will once again get the opportunity to intervene in the South China Sea, and the South China Sea will never have a peaceful day.
In response to the provocative acts of the United States, our army quickly dispatched a huge long-range strike formation composed of 1 Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, 8 6K bombers, and 4 J-16 fighters on the same day. In this formation, the Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft is responsible for using its advanced radar system to detect and detect U.S. surface ships and provide target information to the H-6K bombers in the formation. After receiving the target information, the 8 H-6Ks can launch 32 Eagle Strike 12 supersonic anti-ship missiles at a time to saturate the surface targets up to 400 kilometers away, and can easily penetrate the air defense network of the "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier formation, while the J-16 is responsible for escorting the entire formation.
The 13 fighters of our army directly attacked the waters where the "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier formation was located. According to a person familiar with the matter who later revealed to the Financial Times, the US military overheard the conversation between the PLA bomber 6K pilots on a public channel, confirming that they had received instructions from their superiors to lock the "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier and simulate the launch of anti-ship missiles. The reason why our military's fighters adopt a simulated attack method second only to live-fire is to release the strongest signal to the US military, so that the US military must not act rashly, otherwise it is inevitable to wipe the gun and go off.
The "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier was obviously also shocked by the strong combat strength displayed by the Chinese military aircraft and the war will of our pilots, and quickly carried out a large-scale maneuver to avoid being locked by the radar of the 6K bomb, and even took off the carrier-based aircraft to try to intercept our military aircraft, and finally left the South China Sea early in April.
The second occurred on April 4. The "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier strike group, which is not dead and wants to find a field, has once again entered the South China Sea to engage in "free navigation." From the night of April 7 to the early morning of April 8, the USS Makin Island amphibious guard group entered the South China Sea from the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca to join the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier, and the US military once again provoked China with great arrogance.
We must teach enough lessons to the US military to provoke again. On 12 April, 25 fighters of our army conducted a drill in the airspace southwest of Taiwan Island, which was the largest air cruise of our army at that time. Under the command of an Air Police 500 AWACS aircraft, 2 Y-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft, 4 H-6Ks, and 14 J-16 and 4 J-10s conducted exercises on predetermined subjects. Judging from the dispatch of 4 bombers and 6Ks during the exercise, it is very likely that our army took advantage of this rare opportunity to train troops in actual combat and conducted an anti-aircraft carrier combat exercise with the "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier as the target. The "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier was twice locked by the radar of our army's 6K bomb, and it was also simulated attack, and it is not known whether the captain of the "Roosevelt" was autistic. The frightened "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier battle group withdrew from the South China Sea on the same day.
The third occurred on June 15, this time replaced by the USS Reagan aircraft carrier formation. It is clear that the United States has been angry about two consecutive incidents of being scared away by Chinese bombers in March and April, this time to get back on the field. And the "Reagan" aircraft carrier intruded into the South China Sea also has its own small nine-nine, that is, to avenge the old revenge of 2016. In the century of absolutes in 2016, the two aircraft carrier battle groups of the United States included the "Reagan" aircraft carrier battle group, and the last two aircraft carrier battle groups were also frightened by our army and ran away!
The aircraft carrier "Reagan" led a cruiser and a destroyer into the South China Sea to engage in so-called "free navigation." As a result, a much larger group of PLA fighters came. It included 2 Y-8 patrol aircraft, 2 Air Police-500 AWACS aircraft, 4 Bomber 6K bombers and 20 J-11 and J-16 fighter jets, flying over the South China Sea south of Taiwan.
The fourth and most recent one occurred on September 5. Compared with the previous three times, this time the United States sent its current most powerful aircraft carrier "Carl Vincent", why is it said that the aircraft carrier is the most powerful in the United States? Because the "Carl Vinson" carried 12 F-35C stealth fighters this time, it was the first aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy to officially deploy stealth carrier-based aircraft. With excellent stealth capabilities and enhanced perceptual performance, the F-35C will have a great advantage in air combat with fourth-generation (four-and-a-half generation) carrier-based aircraft such as the J-15 and Rafale. Therefore, from the perspective of carrier-based aircraft alone, the "Carl Vinson" is currently the strongest combat force of the US Navy. The CARL Vinson carrier formation also included a cruiser, a destroyer and a coastal combat ship.
Face the most powerful aircraft carrier formation ever created by the United States through the Luzon Strait into the South China Sea. Adhering to the principle of "soldiers coming to cover up the water," our army dispatched our huge fleet of aircraft on the same day. With the cooperation of 1 Y-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft and 14 J-16 and Su-30 fighters, the 4 H-6Ks entered the airspace in southern Taiwan for actual combat exercises and stopped by to watch the "Carl Vinson" aircraft carrier.
"Forbes" pointed out that the Chinese Navy and Air Force currently have more than 150 Bomber 6K series bombers, although the name of the Bomber 6 is followed, but this bomber is redesigned and manufactured, its avionics level even exceeds the United States B1B and B52H, can carry the Eagle Strike 12 large supersonic anti-ship missiles, the range is up to 400 kilometers, the warhead weighs about 1,000 pounds, one can easily sink 5,000 tons of surface ships, or damage 10,000 tons of surface ships. It is the most powerful long-range strike military aircraft in the Chinese Navy and Air Force.
And this is only the most common weapon of the 6K against the US aircraft carrier. China is also trying to move land-based anti-ship ballistic missiles to the H-6K. Judging from the video currently exposed on the Internet, an air-launched anti-ship ballistic missile based on the Dongfeng 17 hypersonic missile was mounted on the abdomen of a Bomb 6K (that is, bomb 6N) with airborne oil absorption capability, which undoubtedly made the Chinese Air Force's bomb 6K more lethal, and could hunt U.S. aircraft carriers in any sea within the entire second island chain.
At this point, a delicate balance has been established between China and the United States in the South China Sea, and whenever a US aircraft carrier breaks into the South China Sea, The Chinese bomber group takes off, and then the US military is honest and leaves on its own after a period of time.
