Recently, a training center of the Southern Theater Command Navy formed a fleet consisting of several newly commissioned vessels, including the Loudi, Hubei, and Shihezi ships, to conduct realistic combat training in a certain area of the South China Sea, accelerating the overall combat capability generation of the vessels.

Upon receiving the "enemy situation" report, the fleet set sail from a military port, with the radars and weapon systems of each ship powered on, and the officers and soldiers prepared for combat. After locking onto the target, the command personnel of the Loudi ship assessed the situation and determined the optimal shooting distance and direction.

Just after the air defense shooting concluded, missile threats from the "enemy situation" followed. The Loudi ship adjusted its posture and decisively launched various types of countermeasures, including infrared and chaff flares, to implement mixed interference, creating a massive protective net for the ship in the direction of the incoming threats.

Jinshan, Training Center of the Southern Theater Command Navy: In this training, we focused on the characteristics of new personnel, new equipment, and the integration of personnel and equipment, emphasizing the practical implementation of plans, exercise schedules, safety measures, and emergency responses, providing comprehensive and precise guidance to lead the training backbone in deeply studying the operational use of equipment and promoting rapid integration of personnel and equipment.

During the training period, the fleet conducted conditional training among the ships at sea, flexibly integrating various training subjects such as navigation maneuvering, damage control, logistical support, three-dimensional transport, and light weapons shooting into the entire process of maritime exercises, enhancing the organizational and command capabilities of commanders at all levels and continuously improving training effectiveness.
