The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Carlvinson broke into the South China Sea on October 24 and launched the second combat cruise in the South China Sea this year, unlike the first, this time the U.S. Navy cooperated with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and Japan used the Izumo-class kaga aircraft carrier to hold a joint operation with the U.S. Navy in the South China Sea. Judging from Japan's actions, it is willing to be the rhythm of the American thugs, and the consequences are conceivable, that is, to become cannon fodder for the United States. The U.S. Navy wants to use aircraft carriers to patrol the South China Sea in an attempt to establish a deterrent to the Platon, but now the roles are reversed, and the actions of the U.S. Navy aircraft carriers in the South China Sea are only a demonstration of existence, and the PLA has taken the initiative.
According to satellite photos, while the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson is operating in the South China Sea, the PLA has launched combat cruise operations in the South China Sea, not only with surface ships such as 054A, but also with the "onlookers" of electronic reconnaissance ships. The PLA has also dispatched fighters such as J-16s to carry out combat cruise missions in relevant airspace in the South China Sea, thereby establishing a deterrent to the US Navy's aircraft carrier strike group. In addition to the use of J-16, there are also Bomb-6K quasi-strategic bombers to attack, and the People's Liberation Army has sent a big gift package to the U.S. Navy through simulated attacks.
The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike group in the South China Sea is not calm, according to the information of air traffic control, on October 31, the U.S. Air Force dispatched an E-8C battlefield surveillance command aircraft, flew to the South China Sea for emergency support operations, under normal circumstances, the U.S. Air Force rarely dispatched E-8C battlefield surveillance command aircraft, because this platform is for the detection of ground targets, the U.S. military in the attention of the PLA sea and air forces at the same time, but also worried about the PLA on the ground dynamics, to this end to use E-8C "Joint Star" battlefield surveillance command aircraft, Flew to the South China Sea to carry out the so-called "close reconnaissance" operation. 202111012/Aviation Horizon/AZ. The E-8C battlefield surveillance command aircraft is equipped with a high-precision synthetic aperture phased array radar that can conduct detailed detection of ground targets.
The People's Liberation Army has a variety of weapons systems that can strike aircraft carriers, in addition to traditional anti-ship missiles and torpedoes, the People's Liberation Army also has Dongfeng missiles that can strike moving targets on the surface, and the US Navy openly recognizes the superiority of the PLA's Dongfeng missiles. The air defense function of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike group is mainly achieved by Aegis combat ships, equipped with standard 6 and standard 3IIA missiles, which cannot form an effective defense against the Dongfeng missile.
For the U.S. Navy, the combat cruise close to China has become a burden, because the People's Liberation Army has enough advantages in the Asia-Pacific region, and if the United States crosses the red line, the PLA can make the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier come and go, which is an important reason why the U.S. Air Force uses the E-8C battlefield surveillance command aircraft to go deep into the South China Sea. Now that the roles of China and the United States are reversed, the U.S. Navy has been unable to establish an advantage in the Asia-Pacific region, and it is not the United States that has the final say in the South China Sea.
