The Yellow Sea, located in the middle of China, North Korea and South Korea, is the North Yellow Sea in the north of the line from Weihai Chengshanjiao to North Korea's Changshan string, with an area of 81 square kilometer. From Qidongjiao in Jiangsu Province to the southwest line of Jeju Island in South Korea, the South Yellow Sea is in the north, with an area of 409 square kilometers.
On December 8, the Liaoning Maritime Safety Administration issued an early warning notice that there would be live firing in the waters north of the Yellow Sea at 10 o'clock on December 11, and it was forbidden to enter. The area enclosed by four coordinates, located in the north of the Yellow Sea, has an actual combat area of 94 square kilometers and the shortest distance from Dalian Sanshan Island is 357 km, 487 km from the US Air Base in Gunsan, South Korea. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) exercised restraint in the open seas of the Yellow Sea, close to China's territorial waters.
Located on the west coast of South Korea, 175 kilometers from Seoul, the U.S. Air Force Base in Gunsan City is home to the 8th Fighter Wing of the U.S. Air Force, with more than 2,000 Air Force officers and men, equipped with F16 fighter jets, and is the second largest Air Force Base of the U.S. Army in South KoreaThe first is Osan Air Base
December 11 at around 10 a.m. (Beijing time. South Korea at about 9 o'clock), just when our military exercise, a US military F16 fighter plane in South Korea received an order to take off from Gunsan Air Base, but shortly after takeoff, it crashed in the South Yellow Sea near the South Korean side, and the pilot ejected and escaped, fell in the Yellow Sea, and was later rescued by the South Korean Coast Guard. An American F16 fighter jet crashed in the Yellow Sea
According to the marine warning information released by Qingdao City, on December 11, the wave height in the central Yellow Sea was 30-4.5 meters, under such conditions, the pilot was able to miraculously survive at sea, which can be regarded as picking up a life.
The probability that this F16 fighter will take off at that point in time and prepare to enter the North Yellow Sea from the South Yellow Sea and approach the Xi area of our People's Liberation Army is almost zero. The purpose is probably to approach the waters around our country to carry out provocations. If they really want to go close to the sea area of the military exercise to conduct reconnaissance, they will send a reconnaissance plane.
Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. The crash of the US F16 fighter plane, the following three points can be seen:
First, since Yoon Suk-yeol took office, relations between the two Koreas have deteriorated, and since the beginning Xi of this year, the United States and South Korea have held many large-scale air force exercises, almost every other month. Such frequent air force operations overwhelmed South Korean ground crews, resulting in busy maintenance mistakes.
Second, since Yoon Suk-yeol came to power, Sino-South Korean relations have deteriorated, and South Korea's pillar industries such as chip technology, shipbuilding, and automobile manufacturing have been greatly impacted by China, and its ability to earn foreign exchange through exports as a foreign trade country has been seriously weakened. In addition, factors such as the explosion of the domestic real estate industry and the precipitous fertility rate** have made it increasingly difficult to maintain high military expenditures and replace military equipment.
Third, the United States is fanning the flames all over the world, and its military spending has actually exceeded its bearings. Although the military expenses of the US military bases stationed in South Korea are apportioned in accordance with the "Special Agreement on the Sharing of Defense Expenses" signed between the United States and South Korea, and the United States also bears a part of it, the United States has spent too much of its military spending on aiding Ukraine, Israel, and other countries, resulting in a considerable reduction in military spending in the Far East. Even if he didn't think it was a big deal in the region and fanned the flames, he still hurt himself after all.
