Warship advances at high speed, J-16 immediately "transitions to combat"! Real response footage from the South China Sea frontline released.
August 1
Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army
Organized joint maritime and air exercises in the territorial waters, airspace, and surrounding sea and air areas of Huangyan Island
To safeguard the "ancestral sea"
A group of people trained in joint thinking
Fighting at the grassroots level
Pushing joint operations deeper and more practically
First joint maritime and air training
Encountered numerous issues due to details
"Report to the captain, the higher-ups have informed
There is an unidentified surface target 120 nautical miles in our southeastern sea area
You are ordered to immediately proceed at high speed
To verify"

"Report to the commander
Enemy activity has been detected in the southeastern air and sea area
In accordance with higher orders
Our unit will immediately engage with the J-16 fighter jets
To handle the situation"

"We are navigating in the South China Sea
When encountering sudden situations
Sometimes relying solely on naval vessels
It is difficult to seize the best response window"
"We are patrolling the airspace over the South China Sea
As the fastest 'eyes' and 'fists' to reach the mission area
However, the time that fighter jets can stay airborne is limited
Long-term monitoring and handling
Requires more cooperation from our naval comrades"

Only through joint efforts can we safeguard the "ancestral sea"
However, the initial tactical-level joint training
Had as many issues as "sand" at the planning stage
According to Xiao Feng from a naval unit in the Southern Theater Command:
"Our navy usually makes plans in documents
But the air force provides a diagram
The air force has its own language
And we in the navy have our own language
They are not on the same system"

When it comes to practical operations at sea
The navy is accustomed to observing the situation
While the air force, due to its high speed in the air
Is used to listening to tasks
According to Fu Zhenyu from an air force aviation unit in the Southern Theater Command:
"The navy navigates on the sea
While we fly in the sky
One is on a plane, the other is in space
The perspectives of both sides are different
The command logic and thinking methods are also quite different"

During the first joint training
Everyone encountered numerous issues due to these details
Adapting to the situation, coupling training and combat
Joint maritime and air operations achieve 1+1>2
In recent years
The navy and air force have been researching and establishing joint mechanisms
Strengthening joint training
Enriching joint tactics
And cooperation has become increasingly tacit

"Report to the captain
A batch of two J-16 aircraft has entered the network
Command authority has been transferred to our ship"
"Direct the 'enemy' aircraft to the J-16 aircraft
To guide them in coordinated combat"
"Report to the captain
The radar is experiencing 'enemy' interference, tracking is unstable"
"The air guide calls for the J-16D aircraft
To counter the interference"

Xiao Feng from a naval unit in the Southern Theater Command said:
"Now, tactical-level joint training
Adapting to the situation, coupling training and combat
A ship at sea is no longer just a ship
But an intelligence terminal, communication relay, and fire support
In the joint combat system"

Fu Zhenyu from an air force aviation unit in the Southern Theater Command said:
"Flying over the sea is vast and boundless
Like riding alone for a thousand miles
But now every warship
Is a pivot for us
We can contact our naval comrades at any time
Giving us more confidence"

"The target has been driven away!"
Looking at the Southern Theater Command's maritime and air forces
In the territorial waters, airspace, and surrounding areas of Huangyan Island
Regular combat readiness patrols on site↓
Integration of ships and aircraft, joint defense of sea and air
"The deeper joint operations go
The stronger our winning capability becomes!"
