On October 26, the U.S. Navy dropped two aircraft in the South China Sea. At about 2:45 p.m., a MH-60R ¡°Hawk¡± helicopter, which belonged to the 73rd helicopter offshore strike squadron, crashed into the South China Sea when the ¡°routine operation¡± was carried out from the Nimitz aircraft carrier, and three pilots were rescued. At 3:15 p.m., the same F/A-18F ¡°Super Big Bear¡± fighter jet, which took off from the aircraft carrier, fell directly into the sea during the take-off, and the two pilots were successfully shot and rescued. The news came, immediately becoming a network hotspot, tens of millions of netizens were enthusiastic, and even rumored to President Trump¡¯s personal response, saying it

Electromagnetic Attack?

In less than an hour, even two planes crashed, which was a very serious class A accident!

Many netizens directly reacted that this is not normal!

He even made up the scene directly: a mysterious power used mysterious weapons to carry out electromagnetic attacks on US military aircraft, causing two aircraft to fall into the sea one after another.

All I can say is: you've been reading too much.

Powerful electromagnetic attacks can actually get the aircraft out of control instantly and fall into the ocean. But don't forget, underneath the aircraft, there is a powerful aircraft carrier battle group, so many eyes are staring, so many devices are monitoring, how can you unconsciously launch an electromagnetic attack?

Oil is possible!

On October 27, the US media reporter who followed Trump's trip to Asia asked Trump on the "Air Force One" special aircraft, what comments about the crash in the South China Sea?

Trump responded: Yes, I heard about it, and they will tell me soon. I think they should be able to find out. It may be that the fuel quality is not good. Trump also said that he didn't think anyone deliberately sabotaged it. "They thought there might be something wrong with the fuel. We will find out, and there is nothing to hide."

Trump¡¯s response to the cause of the incident offers a new statement: the fuel issue.

Staff checks gasoline

This assertion is quite logical, one is that the crash of the MH-60R helicopter and the F/A-18F "Super Big Bear" fighter used the same type of aviation fuel, that is, the US military generalized JP-8 jet fuel. To judge from the time of the crash of the two aircraft, it may indeed be before the take-off, added the same batch of problem fuel, unfortunately the result of the double crash. The second is that the fuel is contaminated or mixed with impurities, can also cause mechanical failure, cause system failure, and in extreme cases can even directly lead to engine push loss or shutdown.

Some netizens may ask, military aviation fuel is a high-level military material, and aircraft carriers are specially equipped with fuel inspection personnel who conduct frequent inspections. How can problems occur easily?

This matter is complicated.

A Malaysian businessman pulled down the water of the U.S. Navy dozens of officers, let the U.S. military ship pass through the port he held, from his company to refuel ... may also be the old "Nimez" oil storage cabin leakage, don't forget "Nimez" is the oldest aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy, the age of the entire 50 years, this voyage is its last time out of mission, back to the port is ready to remove the waste iron, this state can not expect it to be tightly seamless, in 2022 its water storage warehouse leaked, was forced to interrupt training urgent return to the port.

Aircraft inspection workshop.

The Sword of the South? you are looking for it.

Many media have summed up the "South China Sea curse" for the US Navy and taken stock of the tragic accidents of the US military in the South China Sea:

On June 17, 2017, the US Navy's guided missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald collided with the ship while heading for Japan after "freedom of navigation" in the South China Sea, killing 7 and injuring 3.

On August 1, 2017, a sailor mysteriously disappeared when the destroyer USS Stetham was "navigating freedom" in the South China Sea.

On August 21, 2017, the U.S. missile destroyer "McKean" crashed into the ship after "freedom of navigation" in the South China Sea, killing 10 and wounding 5.

On October 2, 2021, the USS Connecticut attack nuclear submarine "crashed into a mountain" while sneaking in the South China Sea. Eleven sailors were injured and the nuclear submarine was damaged and scrapped.

On January 24, 2022, a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier Carl Vinson F-35C crashed out of control when landing, and seven soldiers on the deck were injured.

Is there really any magic spell in the South China Sea? In fact, the Americans asked for it!

Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Qianquan answered a reporter's question and said very clearly: "The relevant U.S. military aircraft crashed during military exercises in the South China Sea, and the U.S. frequently sent military ship aircraft to the South China Sea to show force, is the root of maritime security problems and disrupt regional peace and stability."

Why say so?

The South China Sea and the United States are half the world apart, 11,000 kilometers from the largest military port of the U.S. Navy on the west coast of the San Diego naval base, the U.S. troops come to the South China Sea purely labor expedition.

Americans do not understand that this is a military taboo? it understands everything. but for the hegemony of the empire, knowing it is not necessary, must go to the South China Sea to show off.

The poor "Nimitz" left Hong Kong on an expedition in March. After spending more than half a year in the Middle East and various anti-American forces. After high-intensity combat readiness, it should have gone home to rest, but in the end, it had to go to the South China Sea and exercise to show others. In order to show the smell of gunpowder, it twisted its waist and crashed two planes. It is estimated that the commander will have to be dismissed after returning home!

The aircraft carrier is full of fighter planes

Behind the crash of the plane is the inevitable dilemma of blindly swaggering around, which shows that the United States 'strategic judgment is divorced from reality and something goes wrong. However, if the ambition of hegemony does not change and the accumulated disadvantages of "hollow" cannot be eliminated, the dilemma of tired troops cannot be solved. Collision between ships and planes will also be inevitable.
