According to an important piece of information suspected to have been obtained by the US side, a large number of J-20 fighters are expected to fly quickly to the southeast after leaving the factory.
Sticking to the face "**China."
As we all know, the United States is a country with a long black history.
It has become almost an open secret that U.S. authorities have carried out large-scale and organized cyber theft, eavesdropping, and surveillance activities.
With China's rapid rise in power in recent years, the United States has begun to feel uneasy, fearing that China's development will have an impact on its interests. Therefore, in recent years, the United States has adopted a series of targeted measures.
These measures include economic encirclement and interception of China, the implementation of dollar hegemony, to suppressing China's development in the field of science and technology, to interfering in China's internal affairs and territorial issues, the United States has spared no effort to obstruct China's rise and try to win over other countries to deal with China.
In addition to the aforementioned means, the U.S. surveillance of China also forms part of its China strategy.
The US side has discovered important intelligence?
So, against this background, the US Intelligence Agency seems to have recently obtained new intelligence.
According to the information disclosed by the US "Military Watch Magazine", most of the new J-20s of the PLA have already flown to the southeast coastal areas for service.
According to the analysis of the United States, the number of J-20s deployed in the southeast coastal area has exceeded 100.
You know, the southeast coastal area can be described as an extremely sensitive area. If the PLA really deploys the J-20 on a large scale here, it will undoubtedly have obvious defensive and deterrent intentions!
However, is the truth really what the United States has revealed?
Most experts believe that this is unlikely.
First of all, the humid and saline environment in the island area is extremely serious about the corrosion caused by the first coating, which will greatly increase the maintenance cost and difficulty of the J-20 fighter. Secondly, when the J-20 performs an interception mission in the South China Sea, it may leak technical parameters to the adversary. In addition, even if equipped with the J-20, the islands and reefs in the South China Sea will be difficult to withstand attacks in a large-scale conflict, and a large number of advanced fighters may suffer unnecessary losses in the conflict.
China has achieved fruitful results
However, in fact, the judgment of the US side is not unfounded.
Since 2012, the PLA has established a number of forward posts on islands and reefs in the South China Sea, which allows PLA aircraft and ships to effectively grasp sea and air dynamics in the region. Mischief Reef, for example, is home to naval missile boats, air defense systems, and radar stations that can monitor the surrounding sea and air range.
In addition, with the completion of the three artificial islands of Fiery Cross Reef, Mischief Reef and Huayang Reef, the PLA has begun to deploy fighter jets and AWACS aircraft on these islands in order to intercept intruders in the airspace.
As recently as November 2021, the PLA's J-11 fighter jets intercepted U.S. Air Force bombers at close range at night.
With this series of factors, it is no wonder that the US side has miscalculated.
Although the PLA has continued to promote military operations in the South China Sea in recent years, this does not mean that the PLA will adopt the practice of deploying the J-20 on a large scale on islands and reefs in the South China Sea.
On the contrary, the current wiser strategic choice of the PLA on the South China Sea issue is to maintain a limited alert force and necessary outposts, and at the same time cooperate with the improvement of the overall strength of the combat force in the mainland direction!
