The plight of the Philippine Navy's supply ships has raised eyebrows. According to Colonel Padila of the Philippine Armed Forces, the Philippine Navy had to suspend its supply mission due to problems with the ships. Philippine media reported that last weekend, two Philippine Coast Guard ships patrolled near Sembin Reef, but then turned into the waters of Second Thomas Reef. The Chinese Coast Guard vessel 5205 then discovered the operation and took action to contain the Philippine vessel. According to Philippine media, the problem of supply ships for the Philippine Navy does not seem to be surprising. One of the ships had an accident during the replenishment process and was forced to return for repairs; Another ship clashed with the Chinese Coast Guard and was eventually driven away by water cannons, and the Philippine ship's engine was damaged and suffered a crushing defeat. As for the third ship, it is not clear what problems arose with it, but it was also sent for repairs. The resupply mission should not be complicated, as long as the ship can complete the round trip and carry the corresponding supplies. Even if you can't complete the supply at one time, you can transport some emergency supplies first. However, the Philippines does not seem to be able to accomplish even this basic task. According to the latest news, the Philippine military may choose to airdrop for supply transportation, and some foreign accounts have even photographed related **. To this statement, Colonel Padilla's answer was ambiguous and did not give a clear answer, only stating that the airdrop would only be used in the event of an "emergency" or "short notice". As for the rest, he did not continue to answer. In the absence of ships available, it is not surprising that the Philippines opted for an airdrop. But airdrops can only be used as a temporary measure, not as a long-term solution. Moreover, the Philippines is not using a professional transport aircraft, but a civilian aircraft, with limited internal space, and the materials transported this time should not be too much. This dilemma of not having a boat may be another reflection of the fact that China may have stepped up its efforts in some areas. After all, the Chinese Coast Guard has been more patient in the past than to escalate in the face of provocations by Philippine vessels. Especially in the face of supply ships, the Chinese side will not act aggressively. This time, however, the situation seems to be different. On the surface, the Chinese Coast Guard directly "killed" two Philippine vessels, and the whereabouts of the other ship, although not announced by the Philippine side, are likely to be related to the Chinese Coast Guard. Does this mean that the Chinese side will no longer tolerate it? Or was the Chinese side informed in advance of the Philippine Navy's plans for bad behavior, and therefore "warned" in advance? These questions are food for thought.
The Philippine military may use airdrops for supply shipments, which is undoubtedly a temporary option in the current situation where ships are not available. However, there are some limitations and challenges associated with airdropping supplies.
First of all, the civilian aircraft used by the Philippines are not professional transport aircraft, and they have limited internal space. In contrast, specialized transport aircraft are able to carry more supplies, while civilian aircraft have limited capacity, resulting in the possibility that only a small amount of supplies can be transported at a time. Therefore, the Philippine military needs to carefully plan and manage supplies to ensure that the supplies transported can meet the needs of the army to the greatest extent.
Secondly, the airdrop replenishment needs to take into account the accuracy and safety of the landing site. In order to achieve accurate airdrops, the Philippine military needs to rely on advanced flight technology and equipment to ensure that supplies can accurately land in the target area. In addition, the Philippine side also needs to take into account the risks and uncertainties that may be faced in the airdrop process, such as weather conditions and hostilities, which will have an impact on the outcome of the airdrop replenishment.
Finally, there is also the question of whether the airdrop supply can be sustained and meet the needs of the army. The airdrop method has a limited carrying capacity compared to ship transportation. The Philippine military may need to carry out frequent airdrops to ensure that the needs of the army are continuously met. At the same time, airdropping supplies also requires a lot of resources, manpower and material resources, which puts an additional burden on the Philippine army.
To sum up, the Philippine army's use of airdrop resupply is a stopgap measure in the current situation when there are no ships available. However, there are certain limitations and challenges in airdrop resupply, and the Philippine military needs to recognize these problems and respond accordingly.
The Philippine Navy supply ship incident has raised concerns about the attitude of the Chinese side. In the past, the Chinese Coast Guard has often exercised restraint in the face of provocations by Philippine vessels, refraining from escalating the situation. But this incident shows a change in China's attitude.
First, the Chinese Coast Guard took resolute action to directly contain and drive away the Philippine vessel. Whether it is directly "killing" the two ships, or driving the other ship away and causing engine damage, it shows the resolute and tough attitude of the Chinese side. This shift means that the Chinese side no longer tolerates the Philippine provocations, or that it has learned of the Philippine Navy's poor plan of action in advance and has therefore given early warning.
Second, this change in attitude is of great significance for the Philippines. The Philippine Navy supply ship incident may suggest that China has stepped up its efforts in some areas, and the Philippine ship's encounter is a clear example. This should be a wake-up call for the Philippines not to provoke China excessively, so as not to trigger more serious consequences.
In conclusion, the Philippine Navy supply ship incident has attracted people's attention and brought a series of questions and reflections. The Philippine Army's choice of airdrop for supplies is a temporary option in the absence of a ship, but there are some limitations and challenges. The change in attitude of the Chinese side in this incident may mean that the Philippine provocations will no longer be tolerated, and the Philippine Navy has been warned in advance. The Philippines should recognize this and avoid further escalation in order to maintain peace and stability in the region. This incident also reminds us that when dealing with disputes, countries should focus on resolving disputes through dialogue and cooperation, and avoid taking drastic actions that lead to situations getting out of control.
