The situation in the South China Sea has suddenly changed!

The situation in the South China Sea has suddenly changed!

The Philippine Coast Guard has set up navigation buoys near five islands and coral reefs in the South China Sea. These buoys are marked with the Philippine flag and unilaterally named the islands and coral reefs. The Philippines claims that this move is to declare sovereignty. The Philippines did this only to occupy our island. In order to deal with the Philippines, naval vessels of the China People's Liberation Army also took action, heading south to the South China Sea.

According to the actions of the Philippines, they deployed buoys near the illegally occupied islands and reefs, trying to regard these islands and reefs as their illegal territory in the Nansha Islands and express their sovereignty. The Philippine Coast Guard claims to have installed some buoys and plans to install more this year. These behaviors are related to the invasion and occupation of many islands and reefs in the South China Sea by the Philippines. The Philippines has also publicly displayed some photos, claiming that China's maritime militia vessels are monitoring these areas.

In response, China's Ministry of National Defense announced that a guided missile destroyer of the Southern Theater Navy will go south to participate in military diplomatic activities, passing through Nansha Islands on the way.

In addition, the China People's Liberation Army Air Force Bayi Air Show Team will also accompany them. This means that China's warships and planes will cross the islands and reefs where Philippine navigation AIDS are deployed.

Zhanjiang Ship, the 052DL guided missile destroyer of the People's Liberation Army, will participate in this operation. This type of ship has strong combat capability, including 64 vertical launch system units, which can launch various missiles and torpedoes. In this operation, Zhanjiang Ship will play the role of the main ship, demonstrating China Navy's ability to safeguard sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.

China has strengthened its control over the disputed islands and reefs in the South China Sea and the surrounding waters, and deployed warships, planes and supporting military facilities and airports. The PLA's cruise activities have become normal, which has greatly improved China's combat capability and security deterrent capability in the South China Sea. Once a conflict breaks out between the Philippines and China in the South China Sea, it will also end in fiasco. Because China's navy is much better than the Philippine navy.

Let's analyze and compare the strength of our navy and the Philippine navy.

First, the China navy's weapons and equipment capabilities:

As one of the largest navies in the world, China Navy has advanced weaponry and powerful combat capability. The following are the main weapons and equipment of the China Navy:

Ship formation:

China's navy has a series of modern ship formations, including destroyers, frigates, submarines and amphibious assault ship. Among them, 052D guided missile destroyer is one of the main ships of China Navy, equipped with vertical launching system unit, which can launch various weapons such as air defense missiles, cruise missiles and torpedoes.

Missile system:

China's navy has also made remarkable progress in missile systems. For example, China's Dongfeng series of anti-ship missiles, such as Dongfeng -2 1D and Dongfeng -26, have long-range precision strike capability and are considered as a threat to other navies in the region. In addition, China has anti-ship, air defense and cruise missiles, which provide multi-level defense and strike capability.

Aviation power:

The aviation power of China Navy is also very important. China's Liaoning and Shandong aircraft carriers have enhanced their long-range strike and combat capability. In addition, there are many types of carrier-based aircraft in China, including J-15 carrier-based fighter and Zhi-18 anti-submarine helicopter, which provide all-round support for maritime operations.

Second, the Philippine navy's weapons and equipment capabilities:

Compared with China's navy, the Philippine navy is small in scale and relatively low in equipment level. The following are the main weapons and equipment of the Philippine Navy:

Ship formation:

The fleet of the Philippine Navy mainly includes frigates, patrol boats and landing ships. The latest frigate of the Philippine Navy is the Duterte super frigate built in South Korea, which has certain combat capability and missile defense system. However, compared with China's navy, the number and technical level of the Philippine navy are still limited.

Missile system:

The Philippine navy has relatively little equipment in missile systems. Although some ships may be equipped with some air defense missiles and anti-ship missiles, their range and precision strike capability are limited. The Philippine navy mainly relies on the support provided by its allies, such as technical assistance and cooperation from the United States.

Aviation power:

The aviation power of the Philippine Navy is relatively weak. Although the Philippines has some helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, its quantity and technical level are far less than that of China Navy. The Philippine navy currently has no aircraft carrier, so it is limited in long-range strike and operational support.

Analysis and comparison:

In terms of weapons and equipment capabilities, the China Navy is obviously superior to the Philippine Navy. China Navy has a modern fleet of ships, including advanced destroyers, frigates and submarines, which are equipped with advanced missile systems and combat capabilities. China also has powerful missile systems, including anti-ship missiles, air defense missiles and cruise missiles, which can provide multi-level defense and strike capabilities. In addition, the China Navy also has aircraft carriers and multi-carrier aircraft, providing all-round operational support.

In contrast, the Philippine navy has limited weapons and equipment capabilities. Although the Philippine navy has some frigates and patrol boats, their number and technical level are relatively low. The equipment of missile system is also limited, and the aviation force is relatively weak. There is a clear gap between the Philippine navy's long-range strike and combat capability. Once the Philippines clashed with China in the South China Sea, it would only be beaten. The China People's Liberation Army is fully capable of defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
