According to the Institute for War Research, the US Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have diversified. Most nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are currently equipped with F-18E Super Hornet carrier-based fighters and E A-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft. A small number of carriers have been equipped with F-35C** fighters and E A-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft, which have boosted the combat effectiveness of US Navy carriers. Recently, the USS Carl Vinson nuclear-powered aircraft carrier carried F-35C fighter jets, while the USS Reagan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that had previously operated in the South China Sea did not carry F-35C** fighter jets.
The shipboard electronic warfare commander on board the USS Carl Vinson nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has been dismissed due to disappointment with its command capabilities, according to information. The dismissal of the commander of the E A-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft shortly after the aircraft carrier entered the South China Sea has sparked speculation about possible surprises. Whether or not there were some unexpected incidents in the confrontation with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) that led to serious dissatisfaction with the commander at the top of the US leadership is still inconclusive. Currently, the PLA has a number of electronic warfare aircraft, including the J-16 electronic warfare aircraft, which shows that its strength in the combat sequence is constantly growing.
The J-16 electronic warfare aircraft is an electronic warfare aircraft developed on the basis of the J-16 heavy fighter platform. Similar to the American E A-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft, the main task of this aircraft is to conduct electronic warfare. Recently, the United States electronic warfare ** was dismissed, and the outside world speculated that it may be because the E A-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft encountered difficulties in the air confrontation with the J-16 electronic warfare aircraft.
In addition, social ** rumors said that combined with a radar echo map of the meteorological department released on December 12, it showed a large number of abnormal radar echoes in the airspace around Taiwan. The electronic warfare ** on board the USS Carl Vinson nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has been dismissed, and the United States has taken action. According to data provided by AIS signals and ADS-B automatic surveillance systems, a spy ship belonging to the U.S. Navy has entered the South China Sea to conduct reconnaissance activities.
It is understood that the T-Agos-20 "Capability" oceanographic monitoring ship, which belongs to the US Navy, is currently conducting reconnaissance activities in the northeast of the Spratly Islands and in the vicinity of the Zhongsha Islands. In addition, an electronic reconnaissance aircraft belonging to a U.S. defense contractor has also entered the South China Sea to conduct operations. The United States has deployed a large number of reconnaissance aircraft at the Kadena base in Okinawa, including electronic reconnaissance aircraft of American defense contractors. Recently, electronic warfare aircraft modified from Bombardier CL-650 business jets outsourced by the United States have frequently appeared in the airspace around Taiwan, especially in the airspace around Bass Strait and southwest Taiwan.
The experimental electronic warfare aircraft of this new type is equipped with on-board equipment and is capable of performing tasks such as aerial reconnaissance and target tracking. In addition, the United States has continuously dispatched spy and reconnaissance ships and planes into the South China Sea and the waters around Taiwan. According to Taiwan** analysis, these actions may mean that the situation in the South China Sea has changed. This series of activities has aroused widespread attention. - Iris.
