China Think Tank's "South China Sea Strategic Situation Peristent" platform news, at 7 am on Monday (8th), a RC-135W electronic reconnaissance aircraft of the United States Air Force took off from Okinawa, and successively followed Guangdong, Hainan Island, Xisha, ChinaThe coastal line of the archipelago was close to the reconnaissance, and once went deep into the Beibu Gulf Airship, and then returned between Hainan and Xisha.When flying to the southwestern airspace of the Xisha Islands, the collar sea base line designated by China was only 28.34 nautical miles.
The "South China Sea Strategic Scenic Peristent" believes that this is actually a daily roadmap of the US military's reconnaissance against China.Generally, the US military aircraft does not open the ADS-B signal that proves identity during the execution of reconnaissance tasks.This time, it is very rare. Almost the whole process of "clearly" flying. The US military's targeted and strong strength of nearly reconnaissance in China can be seen.
RC-135W electronic reconnaissance machines focus on the target of electromagnetic signals. The task is to detect various electromagnetic wave information in the air in real time, and position, analyze, record and information processing of the target.Its airborne radar can collect technical parameters such as the frequency of warning, guidance and guidance radar, and position it. Various radar parameters in the world are within its measurement range.
As early as earlier this month, the "South China Sea Strategic Situment Awareness" platform issued a statement that the U.S. military launched a reconnaissance operation in the South China Sea at least 75 large -scale reconnaissance aircraft in February this year.This number has surpassed the previous highest record, and considering that February was the least number of days in the year, it can be said that the US military's reconnaissance intensity has further improved.
The platform analysis states that the high -intensity activity of the reconnaissance aircraft has nothing to do with the frequent movement of the US warships.In February, two U.S. aircraft carrier strike groups into the South China Sea and conducted a double aircraft carrier exercise.In addition, the three U.S. destroyers also carried out two missions of the Taiwan Strait and two times to break through the South Island Reef.Among the 75-time reconnaissance missions, more than two-thirds were completed by the US Navy, and its P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft visited the South China Sea almost every day.In addition, the performance of the CL-604 maritime patrol machine and the Navy's MQ-4C unmanned reconnaissance aircraft of the private defense company also performed very well and worthy of attention.
In addition, the platform pointed out that 75 sections are only based on the incomplete data of the ADS-B signal statistics, and the actual number is more.
