As my country's first electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, the Fujian ship, passed through the Taiwan Strait, the United States and Britain, also followed. The People's Liberation Army dispatched its three armies and launched a fierce confrontation with the United States and Britain in the Taiwan Strait. So what is the final result of this confrontation?
01 The Fujian ship crossed the Taiwan Strait for the first time
After three months, the Fujian ship ushered in new trends again, and unlike in the past, the Fujian ship crossed the Taiwan Strait for the first time and went to relevant waters of the South China Sea to carry out scientific research experiments and training tasks. Whether it is the sensitivity of the Taiwan Strait or the Fujian ship's mission, this operation has attracted much attention.
Fujian ship has entered the countdown
The Fujian ship had previously conducted 8 sea tests, and all of them were relatively smooth. This time, another sea test after March, means that a lot of preparations were made during this period. According to the progress of the previous sea test of the aircraft carrier, the service of the Fujian ship has also entered the countdown. Passing through the Taiwan Strait is likely to be testing whether the aircraft carrier can adapt to the Taiwan Strait battlefield.
From the hydrological environment, the water depth in the South China Sea is larger than that in the East China Sea, and the sea conditions are more complex, making it more suitable for systematic testing and training of aircraft carriers.
From the geographical point of view, traveling from the Taiwan Strait to the South China Sea is also the most efficient and reasonable method. Therefore, passing through the Taiwan Strait is a necessary stage for Fujian ships to go from testing to formal service. Only by adapting to the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea can Fujian ships officially enter service.
02 The US-UK fleet initiated a provocation
However, the US and British Allied Forces were also very interested in the Fujian ship passing through the Taiwan Strait, and dispatched a destroyer fleet to also pass through the Taiwan Strait. It is reported that the US military dispatched the USS Higgins destroyer, and the British dispatched the USS Richmond frigate.
The electromagnetic catapult system of the Ford aircraft carrier still has certain problems
The intention of the United States and Britain to dispatch warships to the Taiwan Strait is not understood. After all, as the world's second electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, the Fujian ship is most concerned about the performance of the aircraft carrier. Especially the United States, when the Ford has not been in service for many years, it can bring a lot of reference to the improvement of its electromagnetic catapult system after obtaining relevant data from the Fujian ship.
03 A fierce confrontation occurred in the Taiwan Strait
Of course, the PLA certainly cannot let it succeed like this. In addition to the 052C destroyer and the Hyundai-class destroyer escorted the Fujian ship, the PLA also dispatched at least three Z10s. When the US and British fleets first entered the northern waters of Taiwan, the helicopter appeared above the other party's head.
Compared with dispatching fighter jets to deterrent, the deterrence brought by this helicopter is undoubtedly greater, because the aircraft can continuously fly at low altitudes 300 meters above the US and British warships, and the deterrence of the helicopter hovering overhead is much higher than that of the fighter jets at altitudes of thousands of meters.
Kilomet 500 with transponder turned on
In addition, an air police 500 appeared in the northeast of Taiwan, and the ADS-B signal transponder was turned on. The air police 500 integrated early warning, detection, command, communication and interference. When performing tasks, the transponder will usually be turned off to maintain concealment. However, this time, the air police 500 actively turned on the transponder is obviously a special consideration.
According to information on the island, after discovering this F16 aircraft, the Taiwan military urgently took off several F16 aircraft to monitor, but did not dare to make any expulsion actions and could only allow the F100 to perform the mission.
The Air Guard 500 appears in the northeast of Taiwan. On the one hand, it can understand and preset the battlefield environment of the Eastern Pacific Ocean, and on the other hand, it can also scan the key airspace on the island in the direction of Taitung to enhance the PLA's ability to capture Taiwanese military aircraft.
At the same time, Taitung is also an important position for the United States and Western countries to intervene in the Taiwan Strait battlefield. The Air Police 500 turns on the transponder and appears here, deliberately allowing the island and the United States and Western countries to see that the People's Liberation Army also has absolute control over this position.
The passing of the Fujian ship, the warning and driving away from the 10th, and the appearance of the 500th Air Force in Taitung are all revealing a signal to the outside world that the People's Liberation Army is currently moving from training to war, and every training and exercise is a war preview for the possible conflict in the Taiwan Strait. When the time is right, the Taiwan-received action will be carried out without everyone's expectations.
The USS Higgins destroyer trying to monitor the Fujian ship
The Taiwan Strait has been calm for a while, and now as the Fujian ship's passing of the flight has become lively again, the face-to-face provocation of the US and British warships failed to succeed under the heavy blow of the People's Liberation Army. Under the deterrence of the PLA's warships, the US and British destroyers could only choose to pass the flight in the Taiwan Strait honestly and dare not make any provocation.
