The Japanese media pointed out that the Chinese People's Liberation Army may destroy a simulation of the Japanese Self-Defense Force E-767 air early warning aircraft in the desert area of Xinjiang.The above simulation was discovered on Wednesday (July 13) that it was destroyed. The images also visible fragments and black burning traces. This is the first time that the simulation of the Japanese Self -Defense Force military aircraft in China was destroyed.
(Tokyo / Taipei Comprehensive News) The Japanese media pointed out that the Chinese People's Liberation Army may conduct missile attack training on Japanese imaginary targets in the desert area of Xinjiang, and has destroyed a simulation of the Japanese Self-Defense Force E-767 air early warning aircraft.
According to the Japanese Economic Asian Review and several experts on the analysis of satellite images provided by the American Business Satellite Planet Lab (Planet Labs), the above simulation was found to be destroyed on Wednesday (July 13), and the image is stillIt can be seen that fragmented and black burning traces are the first time that simulation of the Japanese Self -Defense Force military aircraft in China has been destroyed.
As the satellite images as of July 2nd show that the simulation is still intact, it is reported that it was ruled that it was destroyed in early July.
It is reported that the simulation has appeared in the desert area of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region since mid -May. The region is under the jurisdictionArtificial objects of aircraft carriers.According to satellite images, experts also have traces of missile attacks on the objects like US aircraft carriers.
Jeffrey Lewis, a military expert at the Montere International Research Institute of Montere, analyzes the damage to the E-767 simulation of the E-767, said that the PLA can basically be testing the test of some ballistic missiles.
Tom Shugart, a senior researcher at the New American Security Center, also agrees that the simulatory is hit by the missile, and the PLA has successfully tested the missile warhead to identify and attack specific military aircraft, which means that the deployment of this missile can enhance the PLA armyThe ability to attack key military aircraft such as E-767.
However, the Chief of Staff of the former Land Self -Defense Force of Japan said that there was no trace of the missile attack on the simulation, and the shape of the simulator was not destroyed, so it was judged that it may only be ignited.
It is reported that the PLA is likely to use simulation as a false goal for training.Satellite images show that China has begun to demolish the runway and apron around the simulation.
The Ministry of National Defense of Japan pointed out that Japan is the only country in the world to deploy Boeing E-767 air early warning aircraft, and a total of four are deployed at the Hamamatsu Air Force Base in Shizuoka Prefecture.The back of this military aircraft is equipped with a disc -shaped radar, which can detect distant enemy aircraft and missiles that the ground radar cannot capture, which is known as the "flight command tower".
When emergencies occur in Taiwan, the E-767 air early warning aircraft will be the key combat power of the self-defense team to ensure the air advantage.Iwada Kiyoshi said that if E-767 is lost, Japan will also lose its ability to monitor the Ryukyu Islands.
Due to the long-range and monitoring scope of the early warning aircraft, the E-767 is also covered by the air defense system and other fighters when the E-767 lifts off.When it has not yet lifts off.Therefore, the Japanese side believes that the simulation base established by the PLA is obviously planned to destroy the self -defense team's air warning capabilities in advance when the Taiwan Strait conflict.
By analyzing the past satellite image judgment, the People's Liberation Army installed simulators in the spring last spring, that is, the US -Japanese government emphasized the "importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait" in a joint statement;Mainland China and the Russian naval ships entering China and Japan claimed that the Diaoyu Islands (known as Jianpaya Islands in Japan), which have sovereignty, were adjacent to the sea.
Iwada Kiyoshi believes that the PLA deliberately releases this information to warn the United States and Japan not to intervene in Taiwan affairs.
The US "Power" website also quoted satellite photos last year that "discovered that China simulates the American E-3 early warning aircraft in the Western Desert".
In recent years, Mainland China has continuously increased its force on the issue of Taiwan.The J-11 machine two times, one shot of the Hang-6 machine, two times of the J-16 machine, two times of the J-7-7 machine, and the shipping-8 far-reducing machine.
