Ma Dingsheng: The United States has built a "Tianluodi Network" to monitor and track PLA submarines

According to CCTV, the United States built three underwater surveillance systems in the Pacific region, such as "Sea Dragon", "Sea Spider" and "Giant", which were originally designed to monitor Soviet submarines. These underwater surveillance networks were useless after the end of the Cold War, but as China rose, the United States strengthened and built a new underwater surveillance system near China to monitor the entry and exit of Chinese submarines into and out of the first island chain.

Ma Dingsheng, a well-known Chinese military commentator, commented that from the perspective of global strategy, although Putin encroached on the territory of weak neighbors in Eastern Europe, challenging the political boundaries of the European Union and the United States, NATO re-locked Russia as an opponent. However, in the Far East, it is not the main strategic direction of the Russian military, and the anti-submarine network of the US-Japan island chain is normal to the Russian Pacific Fleet.

As early as the Cold War period, the United States established a fixed underwater acoustic surveillance system around the enemy country, which is an array of acoustic sensors laid along the seabed, seabed rocks and continental shelf, and forms a complete underwater monitoring system in an interconnected system. Usually, data such as the voiceprint of enemy submarines are collected, and the enemy can be expected to take the lead in actual combat. After the Cold War, the U.S. system in China's front-facing sea area remained operational. There are three fixed hydroacoustic surveillance systems located in the Pacific Sea Area: the "Sea Dragon" system is deployed in the Kuril Islands, the Japanese Archipelago, the Ryukyu Islands, the Philippines to Papua New Guinea in the first island chain, and includes both ends of Okinawa and the Kuril Islands; The "Sea Spider" system, deployed westward along the Aleutian Islands from Alaska, USA, to the east of Sakhalin Island and south to the south of the Hawaiian Islands, covering 3,000 nautical miles west of the Bering Sea and the U.S. mainland; The "Giant" system, located near 38 degrees north latitude in the central Pacific Ocean, stretches from Japan in the west to 150 degrees west longitude in the east, and is tangent from the "sea spider" system, covering the central Pacific Ocean.

In 2008 and 2012, the United States built an underwater surveillance system between the Miyako Strait, Taiwan Island, and the Bashi Strait to the Philippines, strengthening the underwater vigilance of the first island chain strait and waterway, and working with THE US anti-submarine aircraft, attack nuclear submarines, and surface ships to carry out real-time monitoring of major straits and passages, posing a great threat to Chinese submarines entering and leaving the island chain.

As a result of the addition of the Taiwan North-South Hydroacoustic Surveillance System by the United States, the Taiwan Navy claims to have mastered the voiceprint of each submarine of the People's Liberation Army and the movement of the drill in and out of the island chain. Even repeated tracking and simulating attacks against Advanced Chinese submarines.
