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
