[Circle depth] What do the US ships want to do high -intensity activities around me?

[Global Times special reporter Li Qiang Global Times reporter Guo Yuandan] Editor's words: The US Navy's "Benford" destroyer (DDG-65) passed the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday. On the same day, the US electronic reconnaissance aircraft appeared near the south exit of the Taiwan Strait, and the Taiwan Defense Department said that the PLA Yun-8 also appeared near the South Exit of Taiwan Strait that day. Chinese experts said that the US ships frequently appear in the sensitive waters around China and over it. The PLA must take countermeasures, and the U.S. military should bear all the consequences caused by it.

"Benford" Sanchuang Sensitive Sea

According to the US Navy Association website reported on the 19th, the "Benford" destroyer (DDG-65) passed the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday, which was carried out less than a week after the "freedom of navigation" in the South China Sea. It is reported that the Seventh Fleet in the United States stated in a press release last week that on July 16, local time, the destroyer "Benford" wore the waters near the Vietnamese Sand Islands. As part of the "freedom of navigation", the "Ben Ford" was traveled three days after sailing near the Nansha Islands.

Regarding the "Benford" crossing the Taiwan Strait, the Eastern theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army issued a statement on the 20th that the theater organized the sea and air forces to follow the supervisor.

Chinese military expert Zhang Xuefeng said that the warship entered the South China Sea earlier earlier this month and broke into the neighboring waters of Xisha and Nansha on July 13 and 16 on July 13 and 16. The "Benford" destroyer appeared three times in a sensitive sea area around China. First of all, crossing China's Xisha collar sea, and then in accordance with the United States, crossing China's "Dispute Sea of ​​Nansha", this time passed the Taiwan Strait, which can be said to be sailing once and challenged China's marine rights and interests three times. This was rarely seen in the past. This shows that the United States intends to increase the frequency of challenging China's marine rights and interests. It is not ruled out that the United States intends to normalize this model according to the needs of the situation in the future, that is, the warships departing from Yokosuka will provoke many times each time. The reason why the "Ben Ford" has appeared frequently in the near future is that the possible reason is that the US Navy's cost of performing such tasks in order to reduce the implementation of such tasks. Zhang Xuefeng said that the frequency of the US Navy's increase in sensitive waters around China will inevitably increase the possibility of the "collision" of the Chinese and American Navy, and the US Navy must bear all responsibilities for this possible.

As the statement of the PLA's eastern theater states, "the United States is frequently provoked and the show is full, which fully illustrates that the United States is a peaceful and stable destroyer in the Taiwan Strait and a manufacturer of security risks of the Taiwan Strait.

In fact, the US ship not only endangered the peace of the region through actual actions, but also speculated to pour dirty water to China. After the so -called "freedom of navigation" in the South China Sea, the "Benford" was also hit by the Seventh Fleet in the United States. In this regard, Zhang Xuefeng said that a large number of merchant ships pass through the South China Sea each year, which fully illustrates that there is no problem with the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. The Statement of the Seventh Fleet in the United States is not only to China, but also splashing dirty water in other countries in the domain. In fact, it is precisely the risk of navigation in the South China Sea in the South China Sea.

China and the United States, sea and air forces, Taiwan -sea wrestling?

On the 19th of the United States Navy's "Benford" destroyer passed the Taiwan Strait, the US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft was also active near the Taiwan Strait. According to the news of the "South China Sea Strategic Situment" social media account on the 19th, a RC-135V reconnaissance aircraft of the US Air Force on the day of the US Air Force conducted a high-intensity to close the reconnaissance at the south exit of the Taiwan Strait. Military exercises are ongoing.

Zhang Xuefeng said that the U.S. Air Force reconnaissance aircraft can use the US Navy's "Benford" destroyer to cross the Taiwan Strait to conduct the possibility of reconnaissance of the PLA's troops deployment, mobilization, and response measures. RC-135V is mainly used for reconnaissance radio communication and radar signals. The Taiwanese media hype, on the same day when the US ship crossed the Taiwan Strait, the mainland naval aircraft carrier Shandong ship also appeared in the Taiwan Strait. According to Taiwan media reports on the 20th, the PLA aircraft carrier Shandong Ship was recorded to the west of the so -called "Taiwan Strait Middle Line" on the 19th, and went south along the mainland to pass the waters near Jinmen, followed by a suspected supply ship. Taiwan media also speculated that the Shandong ship was suspected of being "locked" by the US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft hovering in the southwest of Taiwan.

According to the information of the Taiwan Defense Department, the PLA's transport-8 remote machine appeared near the "Southwest Air Defense identification zone" near the "Southwest Air Defense identification zone" on the 19th, that is, near the south exit of the Taiwan Strait, which coincided with the airspace where the US machine was located. It is unclear whether Sino -US aircraft appeared at the south of the Taiwan Strait at the same time, or between the two. In terms of role, the Yun-8 far-reaching machine is mainly used to reconnaissance interference with the opponent's radar system. Does the Sino -US sea and air power carry out the "dark contest" around the Taiwan Strait? There is no determined information.

US Air Football Terants Stay on Nansha Sea

After the US destroyer left from the South China Sea, the US Navy's "Reagan" aircraft carrier strike group was still in the South China Sea. According to the information released by the "South China Sea Strategic Situment" social media, from July 17th to 18th, comprehensive AIS and remote sensing images, the "Reagan" carrier continued to move in the South China Sea and stayed in the waters near Wan'an Beach. The information previously published by the "South China Sea Strategic Situation" shows that on July 16, the "Reagan" aircraft carrier strike group arrived in the west of the Nansha Islands. It is expected to go to Pangang Vietnam for several days to visit.

The "Fleet Tracking" column of the U.S. Navy Association's website reported on the 19th that the aircraft carrier's strike group entered the South China Sea drill from the Barabak Strait from the Philippines last week.The "Reagan" is equipped with the Fifth Carrier Airlines of the US Marine Corps, including 9 squadrons and detachment, including 4 attack fighter squadron, 1 early warning aircraft squadron, 1 electronic warfare squadron, 1 logistics supportSquadron and 2 helicopters.The escort formation includes a "Titan Rogar" cruiser and the destroyer of the 15th destroyer squadron.Military experts who are unwilling to disclose their names said that there are only fewer ships in the "Reagan" strike group, and they are far from China. The exercise there is not specifically targeted at China.Moreover, the Chinese Navy can take the opportunity to "practice the enemy".
