In the South China Sea play a dangerous scene, the Australian military aircraft violently invaded our airspace, but the evil man first ordered? the Liberation Army horror measures to hardly retaliate against provocation, the Australian Prime Minister asked the United States to preside for justice, this is how it is?
With the growing tensions in trade relations between the two countries, the appearance of ships and aircraft of the United States and its allies in China’s surrounding sea and airspace has also become increasingly frequent, even in peacetime, such close-knit reconnaissance itself has a considerable provocative significance, and in the early millennium, it has even triggered extremely severe collisions.
In view of the fact that the "fortress" of the South China Sea region has become an objective reality, some Western countries that do not believe in evil still try to test our bottom line through such "gray methods", and they are finally met with strong countermeasures by the People's Liberation Army. But what everyone didn't expect was that Western countries, with skins thicker than city walls, had once again played the trick of accusing the villain first.
The Australian Ministry of Defense issued a statement on October 20th, claiming that it had an "unsafe and unprofessional" interaction with the Chinese Air Force in the South China Sea, and expressed its concern to China.
The statement mentioned that on the same day, a P8A "Hai God" anti-submarine patrol aircraft, belonging to the Royal Australian Air Force, was intercepted by a Su-35 fighter aircraft of the Liberation Army, during which time, the Liberation Army aircraft two times in "extremely close range" to the Australian military aircraft, which "constitute a danger" for Australian pilots.
Australia Defense Minister Richard Mars claimed that the heat-lure bomb was released very close to Australia's aircraft. Although it did not cause damage, the behavior was "very dangerous and unsafe." It was also because of this that Australia announced the incident.
From a journalistic point of view, in the face of this headless news, it shows that the parties must have hidden some information, and this information is very "fatal", and is also a "journalistic trick" commonly used in Western media reports.
Sure enough, the Air Force of the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army quickly responded positively to the Australian statement, which was regarded as a clear account of the ins and outs of this matter.
On October 19, the P8A anti-submarine aircraft of the Australian Air Force, without the approval of the Chinese government, illegally invaded the airspace of China's West Sahara, organized the Southern War Zone of the Liberation Army's naval and air force, followed it in accordance with the law, vigorously counteracted, warned deportation, and stressed the behavior of the Australian side, has seriously violated China's national sovereignty, very easily triggered sea and air accidents, and urged the Australian side to immediately stop the provocation.
In diplomatic rhetoric, this statement can be said to be very serious, and it also tells the truth, that is, the Australia aircraft first entered my country's airspace in the South China Sea, and then was dealt with on the spot by our military's fighter jets. During the entire incident, if the Australia warships had not entered my country's airspace, then China would not have taken such disposal measures.
However, the relevant information has been deliberately ignored by the Australian side. It seems that they themselves know that they are very wrong in this matter, so they played a trick of "putting aside the facts", which is really dumbfounded.
It is worth mentioning that the relevant Australian media in the reporting of the incident, also emphasized that on the same day of the incident, Australian Prime Minister Albani, is preparing to meet with US President Trump, the two sides had planned to discuss the relevant matters of Oakus.
The point to be emphasized here is that Oaxaca itself is a regional military alliance with strong military attributes, and not unexpectedly, Albany will also "procure" to U.S. President Trump to talk about the so-called "dangerous actions".
But today, China-US relations are tense, and the United States is afraid that it will be difficult to secure itself, and can not help Australia at all.
In domestic affairs, Trump and the Republicans under his leadership are also facing the internal chaos of the government shutdown, the external is facing the breakdown of the supply chain, the serious crisis of the collapse of the manufacturing industry, and even Trump himself has said that "I don't want to play the rare-earth game with China anymore", which is completely different from previous tough statements.
From this point, it can also be seen that after taking China's counter-stick, Trump finally realized that it is really "not fun" to fight a trade war with China.
Therefore, even if the Australian Prime Minister Albanyes complained to Trump, I am afraid that the United States is also difficult to help Australia "pull off", only to hit the shoulder of this leader, and say a few good words of consolation.
While in the Biden era, some U.S. think tanks suggested that U.S. troops withdraw Asia-Pacific troops to Australia on the grounds that this place was "more secure", with the service of advanced medium-range missiles, including the East Wind 26, if the U.S. really focused large amounts of military resources in Australia, the only result would be to be given a pot by China.
So we can also see that although the Biden era pulled out the Oak Coalition, the Trump administration is very cold and not even very willing to provide the relevant nuclear submarine technology to the Australian side. Because the U.S. own nuclear submarine production capacity is seriously insufficient, the new generation of the Columbia class has just completed the laying of the dragon bone, let alone "one" out some ships to support the allies.
Therefore, to the United States, Australia is a tasteless rib to eat and a pity to abandon it. Trump's meeting with Albanese this time was obviously just to gain some affection.
But this is very deadly for Australia, the current Albanian government, although in the anti-China effort has not been strong in the previous Morrison government, but its policy to China has largely continued its predecessor "political legacy", so that China-Australia relations become very delicate, in the field of cooperation, in the field of confrontation, only occasionally exaggerated, the Liberation Army's fierce response, then is the typical "stone-breaking dog cry" drama.
In fact, as far as my country's airspace and territorial waters in the South China Sea are concerned, Australia has always been a "familiar face" that appears from time to time. The sea and air encounters between the two sides are nothing new, and there are more serious confrontations than this one.
For example, in May 2022, the model was also P8A, and the perpetrator was also the Australia Air Force. It tried to collide with China's territorial waters with a straight line attitude of nearly 90 degrees. After receiving an interception warning from the People's Liberation Army, the Australian aircraft quickly turned around and left, but then turned back, provoking a second round of impact.
At this moment, the Chinese pilot flew the J-16 fighter jet, took the initiative to fly to the front of the P8A to release the thermal bomb, and cut the route of the external plane horizontally. Among them, some of the thermal bombs released by the Chinese military aircraft were sucked in by the engine of the Australian military aircraft, causing the fuselage to tremble violently and almost unable to return.
In March 2023, Australian Air Force Chief of Staff Chipman even stated that after experiencing this unexpected sea and air encounter, the Australian Air Force crew and pilots involved felt "very dangerous and nervous." Some pilots even developed serious psychological problems and had to be grounded to receive help from a psychologist.
Then some uncertain sources revealed that some Australian military crew members were still receiving continuous psychological treatment for a long time after the incident occurred.
These events prove that the Australian military's crew who wanted to forcibly break the baseline of China's territorial waters were quite scared by the People's Liberation Army's countermeasures. From a medical perspective, we generally call these symptoms stress traumatic disorder, commonly known as PTSD.
Nowadays, the Australian aircraft want to again carry out similar provocations, then, the only result would be the Liberation Army's "heat-bombing shower" and then scattered, fleeing like the loser's dog.
In fact, in terms of nature, the behavior of these foreign military aircraft that deliberately entered our country's territorial waters and airspace has already constituted a serious violation of national sovereignty. If we follow the disposal method adopted decades ago, what the Australian military aircraft encountered would not be the heat-decoy bombs of the China Air Force, but would be solid shells after solid shells, or infrared-guided combat bombs.
Only with the changes of the times, related sea and air encounters become more and more frequent, and some of these examples are indeed "accidental", so China's handling has become more and more timely, no longer seeking to shoot down the scene as in the past, after all, the diplomatic crisis caused is not just to say.
Of course, this kind of soft confrontation in peacetime, in fact, also reflects our army in the new situation, under the conditions of struggle, for some of the new methods of war that the foreign air force has come up with, in order to ensure its own security, and without triggering war and conflict, to give the opponent to cause as much damage as possible, and to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country.
Because even in the Cold War era, the Soviet Air Force would not take a direct shot down of foreign military reconnaissance aircraft that were illegally crossing the border, unless the other party dared to enter the airspace directly.
Among these disposal activities, one of the more well-known cases is the Soviet Air Defense Su-27 fighter aircraft, the operation of the "Barench Sea Surgery Knife" over the Barents Sea, both defending national sovereignty and avoiding the NATO and Warsaw pact's crackdown.
Today, the atmosphere between China and the United States and its allies is somewhat in common with the situation at the time.
In the foreseeable future, there will only be more and more unexpected encounters between the sea and the air. However, the Su-35S fighter jet, which has an awkward position in our military's equipment training, relies on its extremely excellent maneuverability to counter peacetime. Foreign military aircraft are actually good at picking quarrels and provoking trouble.
