On October 18, the Global Times quoted the Japanese Ministry of Defense's Unified Staff Supervision Department as saying that at about 8 a.m. that day, Chinese and Russian warships were found sailing eastward in the waters about 110 kilometers southwest of Okuri Island in Hokkaido, sailing through the Tsugaru Strait to the Pacific Ocean.
It is reported that this is when the Navies of China and Russia, which have just finished the Sino-Russian "Maritime Joint" -2121 military exercise in Peter the Great Bay in Russia, have crossed the Tsugaru Strait between Honshu and Hokkaido in a form of formation, demonstrating the high degree of strategic mutual trust between the Chinese and Russian armies, and at the same time causing a lot of shock among Japanese netizens.
Among the Chinese Navy's ship lineup, there are 101 sea formation command ship Type 055 million ton large drive 101 "Nanchang Ship", Type 052D destroyer 172 "Kunming", Type 054A frigate 515 "Binzhou" ship and 573 "Liuzhou" ship, and Type 903A comprehensive supply ship 902 "Dongping Lake" ship.
The Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy consists of the Type 1155 large anti-submarine ships Admiral Pandeleev, the 564 Admiral Tributs, the Type 22380 frigate 335 "Loud", the 339 "Hero of the Russian Federation Ardar Zidenzapov", and the 1914.1 electronic reconnaissance ship 331 "Marshal Krylov".
This is the first time that the outside world has seen the Chinese and Russian navies passing through the Tsugaru Strait, which is of strategic significance at the same time in the form of surface combat ships, in the form of surface combat ships.
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched the P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the Second Air Force and the ships of the 45th Minesweeper Squadron to track and perform the necessary information collection and intelligence monitoring.
Before the Japanese Ministry of Defense's Unified Staff Supervision Department announced the lineup of the Sino-Russian fleet in the media, Japanese netizens had already taken the lead in using their cameras to photograph the Sino-Russian maritime formation that was crossing the Tsugaru Strait, and uploaded it to the Internet for the first time, triggering many Japanese netizens to watch.
In view of the huge size of the Sino-Russian maritime formation, some netizens said that the scene was very shocking, and some netizens said that they had a strong sense of "oppression", indicating that the Sino-Russian maritime formation passed through the Tsugaru Strait, which is very important to Japan for the first time, which gave the Japanese people a great touch, and also admitted that the voyage complied with international law and did not pose a problem.
The Chinese and Russian navies each have 5 large and medium-sized ships, a total of 10 ships of the luxurious lineup, the strength can not be underestimated, can be described as a vast, through the Tsugaru Strait, to the vast Pacific Ocean, causing japan and the United States to pay extreme attention and attention, after all, will involve the maritime interests of Japan and the United States in the relevant seas.
At present, the most worrying thing for the US Navy is that the Sino-Russian combined fleet will go north to the Aleutian Islands and near Alaska in the United States, which is an isolated overseas "enclave", but the weakness of the US military's defense, and there is no cruiser, destroyer and other main battleships that can be mobilized to deal with the Sino-Russian maritime formation.
If the last Time the Chinese Navy's 101 Sea Formation appeared, crossing the Sogu Strait of Japan, with the posture of sea combat readiness patrol, and suddenly appeared in the waters of the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, the United States would only be able to engage in "freedom of navigation" in reverse, and the US side could only let the Coast Guard patrol ships, far behind the powerful 101 ship formation of the Chinese Navy, would once again make the US Navy unable to hang on to its face.
In addition, it is not excluded that the Sino-Russian maritime combat group will go south to the waters of Hawaii, just like the last time the Russian Pacific Fleet, in the waters near the doorstep of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet Command, in the US Navy's historical sphere of influence, to carry out large-scale maritime military exercises, naval gun fire, missile shooting, torpedo shooting, etc., making a very big movement, making the US Navy break out in a cold sweat.
The author of this article noted that in the Russian naval formation, there is a 211.2 meters long, 27.7 meters wide, full load displacement of more than 25,000 tons of "Marshal Nedlin" class electronic reconnaissance ship "Marshal Krylov", which belongs to the large missile test and space measurement and control /command ship.
The ship is equipped with a series of cutting-edge radars, satellites, data links, communication systems, reconnaissance and detection equipment, etc., so it has the ability to perform space exploration tracking and space survey tasks, mainly for the test of missiles, and used as a command ship in wartime.
The "Marshal Krylov" electronic reconnaissance ship is the command ship that last held a maritime military exercise in Hawaiian waters by the Russian Pacific Fleet, and this time this huge electronic reconnaissance aircraft appeared in the Russian Navy formation, and it will not be ruled out that the Sino-Russian combined fleet will go directly south to Hawaiian waters, which is the place where the US Navy conducts maritime anti-missile tests and is a very sensitive military area.
The Sino-Russian maritime joint formation may go to Hawaiian waters, and the Chinese 055-ton large-scale drive 101 "Nanchang" ship, the 052D destroyer 172 "Kunming" ship, and the Russian Type 22380 frigate 335 "Loud" and the 339 "Russian Federation Hero Ardar Zidenzapov" are equipped with shipboard vertical launchers, all of which have the ability to launch 2500 km range "Long sword" -10 and "Caliber-NK" land attack cruise missiles.
The main battleships of China and Russia can simulate the launch of land-attack cruise missiles, attack and destroy important anti-missile facilities of the United States, and it is very likely that a simulated attack anti-missile system will be implemented. The "Marshal Krylov" electronic reconnaissance ship can detect the electromagnetic signals of the US anti-missile system at any time and test the anti-missile capability of the US military at the same time.
The Sino-Russian maritime combined fleet has crossed the Tsugaru Strait, and the future tracks, whether to go north or south, time will give the answer, and it will not be long before it will be known.
This time, the Sino-Russian maritime formation crossed the Tsugaru Strait, and the sword feng pointed out very obviously, knocking on the Japanese cabinet that jumped up and down on the issue of the four northern islands, the Diaoyu Islands, and the Taiwan Islands, and let it hang out, otherwise, the fleets or combined fleets of any One country in China and Russia could appear at any time in the waters surrounding Japan, or even directly into Japan's heartland - the Sea of Japan, giving Japan extremely strong military pressure.
In addition, the Move of the Sino-Russian Maritime Formation is also aimed at the aggressive US military, Alaska, Hawaii, there are anti-missile systems built at great expense by the US military, which threaten the flight trajectory of ballistic missiles launched by China and Russia, and there is a risk of being intercepted by the US anti-missile system.
The "Marshal Krylov" electronic reconnaissance ship appeared in the Formation of the Sino-Russian Navy, and it is not excluded that the Sino-Russian Joint Maritime Formation would go north or south to specifically seek the US military's anti-missile system to train its hands, and by the way, reverse the so-called "freedom of navigation." The Pacific Ocean is by no means a "nest of comfort" where the US Navy flaunts its might and is at ease.
Let the US military feel the taste of "freedom of navigation" in the waters around itself and the powerful maritime forces of other countries, the 10 large and medium-sized ships of the Sino-Russian maritime formation, the scale of which is very large, the visual and psychological impact on Japan and the United States is also very powerful, and it is not rude to come and go.
The Chinese and Russian navies have the ability and strength to engage in "freedom of navigation" against the US side, and the so-called "freedom of navigation" is by no means a patent of the United States and the West, and can also be used by the Chinese and Russian navies.
The key is that once the Chinese and Russian navies join forces, it will also be a nightmare for the US and Western navies, and the second and third strongest navies on the earth will join hands to join forces, and this impact is very large for the world, or it will change the entire northeast Asia and even the Indo-Pacific region and the global strategic pattern.
