Recently, the Philippines' provocation of China has attracted widespread attention. However, many people do not know that the day it happened, the PhilippinesNavyAction has also been taken. Their "Jose Rizal" missilesCorvetteand "Cabra".Patrol boatsThey have appeared in ChinaSecond Thomas ReefIn the nearby waters, trying to support Philippine ships. However,Chinese NavyType 054A missilesCorvette"Xianning" did not show weakness, quickly appeared on the field, and even approached the "Cabra".Patrol boatsto prevent further provocations. This also shows the PhilippinesNavyRightChinese NavyThe strength of their "Jose Rizal" class missiles is somewhat understoodCorvettewith China's Type 054A missilesCorvetteIn comparison, the strength is far from the same. PhilippinesNavyThis is a shameful act, but India cannot sit idly by at this time. IndiaNavyof"Kadmat" anti-submarine escortThe ships docked directly at Philippine ports and even openly declared that they could protect Philippine territorial waters. This statement is thought-provoking. India's statement has two main objectives. First, strengthen bargaining chips with China. Many in India want to threaten China with maritime issues in order to gain more benefits in the Sino-Indian border talks. This kind of behavior is quite despicable. Secondly, to use the Philippines as an excuse to market India to the country。India is currently working hard to promote its own homeThe export of equipment, in the hope of developing the country's military industry. However, India's military-industrial strength is limited, and they manufactureIt is difficult for equipment to attract international attention. Previously, India had been marketing its own Tejas light fighter jet to the Philippines, but the Philippines did not purchase it, but chose South Korea's FA-50 fighter jet. Therefore, whether the Philippines will buy India'sThere are still doubts.
PhilippinesNavy"Jose Rizal" class missilesCorvette, this is a South Korean missile of the "Incheon" classCorvetteA scaled-down version of the standardDisplacementOnly 2600 tons, armed with 8 South Korean-made "Starfish" anti-ship missiles, with a maximum range of 150 km. However, with China's Type 054A missilesCorvetteCompared to this missileCorvetteThe combat effectiveness is clearly insufficient. Actually, the PhilippinesNavyThe provocation is not limited to the warships, but also includes their territorial claims in the South China Sea, such as Scarborough ShoalSecond Thomas Reef。However, the results of the Philippine provocation are obviousChinese NavyThe powerful power completely suppressed the Philippine, Philippine missilesCorvetteIt is simply not possible to match the Type 054A missiles with ChinaCorvetteCompete with each other.
The provocative actions of the Philippines are a challenge to regional peace, as well as a rightInternational LawIgnorance. The Philippines claims to own Scarborough Shoal andSecond Thomas Reefbut this statement is widely denied internationally. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Scarborough Shoal andSecond Thomas ReefAll of them are recognized as China's inherent territory. The provocations of the Philippines will only intensifyDisputes in the South China Sea, undermining regional peace and stability. For its part, China must firmly defend its territorial sovereignty and resolve disputes through diplomatic means.
In the face of the Philippine provocation of China, IndiaNavyof"Kadmat" anti-submarine escortThe ship docked in a Philippine port, which became a meaningful move. In addition, India has publicly stated that it is capable of protecting Philippine territorial waters, a statement that raises doubts about India's intentions. India's statement has two purposes: one is to increase its bargaining chips in negotiations with China, and the other is to promote India's。However, whether the Philippines will buy India'sIt remains to be seen, because despite India's"Kadmat" anti-submarine escortThe ship claims to have a good level of localization, but in fact it isMilitaryStrength with the PhilippinesNavyof missilesCorvetteIn comparison, it is still far from it.
India's involvement in the South China Sea is not unintentional. First, India hopes to counter China by cooperating with the Philippines to gain a foothold in the South China Sea. Second, India hopes to use the South China Sea issue to distract China from its own interests on the border issue. However, this motive is dishonorable and will only further complicate the South China Sea issue and increase tensions in the region.
IndiaNavyof"Kadmat" anti-submarine escortThe ship is called the "Indian version of 056" and is India's first domestically produced stealthCorvette, with a 90% localization level. However, withChinese Navyof1130 close-in defense gunsIn comparison, India's close-in defense artillery has seriously lagged behind; In terms of anti-submarine warfare, mainly Russian-made anti-submarine rockets and torpedo tubes are relied upon, but there are no anti-ship or anti-submarine missiles. Therefore, if there really is a naval battle, this kind of IndiaCorvetteEven the missiles in active service in the PhilippinesCorvetteNone of them can be confronted, at most they can only engage in artillery battles. It is unlikely that the Philippines will buy such, even if India is willing to give it away for free, the Philippines will not want it. So, rightChinese NavySay, like thisIt doesn't pose much of a threat.
The provocative actions of the Philippines and India are a threat to regional peace, rightInternational LawIgnorance. Chinese NavyIt has shown great strength and restraint in the face of provocations, and has forcefully safeguarded China's territorial sovereignty. However, the actions of the Philippines and India are bound to intensifyDisputes in the South China Sea, undermining regional peace and stability. Based on the principles of mutual respect and win-win cooperation, all parties should resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation and jointly safeguard regional peace and stability.
