According to Japanese media reports on September 11, the United States and Japan began to hold the "Resolute Dragon-25" large-scale joint military exercise on the 11th. The exercise covers three major areas: Okinawa Islands, Kyushu and Hokkaido, and aims to practice defense programs in the south, central and northern directions.
According to the Japanese Ministry of Defense, the exercise lasted for two weeks in total. By the end of the 25th, the participating troops included more than 14,000 Japanese Self-Defense Force members and about 5,000 US military personnel, covering multiple branches of the Marine Corps, Army, Navy and Air Force.
During the exercise, the US military is expected to deploy and test the latest "Tifeng" medium-range missile system at the US Iwakuni Marine Corps Air Station in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Japan's Type 12 "improved ground-to-ship system" and "Haimas" rocket launcher will participate.
According to the British Daily Mail and other media, the British Navy's Prince of Wales aircraft carrier has entered the East China Sea. At the same time, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's USS Kaga light aircraft carrier, the US Navy's USS Higgins destroyer, the Australian Navy's USS Brisbane, the Canadian Navy's USS Quebec City frigate and the Norwegian Navy's USS Amundson frigate are also gathering in the East China Sea. It seems that the fleet composed of the six countries will also hold a joint exercise in the East China Sea.
According to this, the joint exercise of the six countries at sea is also a joint military exercise of the "Resolute Dragon-25" at sea, or it is originally part of the "Resolute Dragon-25" military exercise. This made this joint military exercise of the sea, land and air force the largest military exercise held in Japan and nearby sea areas after World War II. It is also the first show since the establishment of the Joint Japan-US Command, the U.S. Military Command in Japan, the Japanese Multi-Domain Command of the U.S. Army, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.
Obviously, the large-scale joint exercises in front of China by the six countries are to jointly threaten China, and at the same time they also want to send a signal to China that they have not been intimidated by the Chinese military parade.
It can be said that this sea, land and air force composed of six countries is still powerful and poses a great threat to China.
However, times have changed. Gone are the era when the United States and the West can assemble several aircraft carrier destroyers and deploy several missile forces to suppress China. The 93rd military parade is the clearest warning to them. Although the military parade of the 93rd National Congress ended, this was exactly the beginning of the combat readiness and duty operation of the referee troops.
Let's not talk about the role of Dongfeng-61, Dongfeng-5C, Jinglei-1, and Julang-3 strategic missiles. If we really want to fight, the aircraft carriers and destroyers participating in the six countries may not withstand a volley of China's Dongfeng-26D, Eagle Strike-15, Eagle Strike-17, Eagle Strike-19, Eagle Strike-20, and Eagle Strike-21 missiles. Their fleet may not even have the chance to "meet" with the PLA fleet and then sank to the bottom of the sea. The "Tifeng" missile, Type 12 missile, "Haimas" rocket launcher, etc., may be difficult to escape the destruction of long-range strike weapons such as the Changjian-1000.
The "Resolute Dragon-25" joint military exercise looks fierce and arrogant. But in today's China, this threatening behavior is just like the last madness of a declining nobleman.
