Recently
the Navy's missile speedboat brigade of the Eastern Theater Command
several speedboats surged through the waves
in a cross-day and night, multi-subject realistic combat training
the curtain was raised amidst the smoke of battle—

This training
was set against a backdrop of complex electromagnetic environments and harsh sea conditions
and included over 10 training subjects such as naval gunfire against sea targets
to comprehensively hone the operational capabilities of the crew members
and the commander's operational planning skills

"Battle alert!"
"There are 'enemy' armed fishing boats operating in our navigation area..."
The officers and soldiers quickly rushed to their positions
entering a combat state
the formation's boats immediately adjusted their course for rapid maneuvering

"Bearing ××, 'enemy' signal detected!"
After receiving the directive
the formation commander quickly directed each boat
to conduct electromagnetic control
and covertly navigate towards the target direction
The radar operator successfully captured the 'enemy' target's position and distance
by comparing radar imaging characteristics

Commands flowed quickly
data was shared in real-time
the optical-electronic operators adjusted the naval gun angles
constantly seeking the best shooting opportunity
With the commander's order
the optical-electronic operator decisively pressed the launch button
the target was successfully destroyed

After completing the naval gun application shooting training
an unidentified maritime target was rapidly approaching
all weapon systems quickly entered combat status
the reconnaissance and control equipment responded swiftly
after determining the target as an 'enemy' missile
each boat immediately launched decoys to implement interference
successfully evading the 'enemy' missile threat

At the end of the training
the review and summary immediately commenced
the participating officers and soldiers promptly summarized their gaps and shortcomings
and improved measures
to further enhance their combat capabilities
East China Sea elite, always ready for battle
