海上有雷？不怕！看他们如何“海上扫雷”

Recently, the naval fleet of the Southern Theater Command

conducted realistic anti-mine exercises in a certain sea area

with a mine-sweeping ship formation.

The formation focused on naval gunfire

deployment of mine-clearing devices,

and detonation of simulated underwater mines,

carrying out training on these subjects.

▲ Formation change

“The 'enemy' armed fishing boat has deployed mines in our advancing sea area.

Higher command has ordered our formation to quickly advance

to clear the mine obstacles!”

The Hejian and Chishui ships rapidly changed their mine-sweeping formation

and began to detect the target sea area.

The sonar positions continuously adjusted detection frequencies and search directions,

quickly assessing and identifying the targets.

▲ Loading mine-clearing devices

▲ Deploying mine-clearing devices

The mine-clearing devices completed ammunition loading and cable connections

and were successfully deployed into the sea.

“Report to command, mine targets detected ahead!”

Successfully locking onto the target mine,

the personnel operated the mine-clearing devices,

accurately reaching the designated area and deploying the mine-clearing ordnance.

“Boom... Boom...” With the explosion of two ordnance,

the bottom mines hidden on the seabed were successfully detonated.

A muffled sound surged from the seabed to the surface,

successfully eliminating the underwater threat.

▲ Successfully detonated simulated bottom mines

“Port side XX degrees, distance XX chains, 'floating mine' detected!”

During the voyage, the battle alarm sounded again.

Each ship quickly adjusted its course, occupying attack positions,

observing the sea and determining target positions.

Adjusting the main gun angle...

The Chishui ship locked onto the target,

aimed and fired,

successfully clearing the floating mine.

▲ Shooting at the floating mine

“A suspicious target is rapidly approaching our formation.

Immediately transition to anti-piracy deployment!”

The radar signals quickly intensified the sea search.

The deck gun positions rapidly adjusted their firing angles,

ready for combat at any moment...

▲ Observation lookout

▲ Anti-piracy deployment

As the mission tasks of the troops continue to expand,

the frequency of ship departures has increased.

This fleet emphasizes improving training quality and effectiveness,

closely adhering to combat requirements,

interspersing complex special situations,

and regularly conducting high-intensity, high-difficulty exercises

to enhance the emergency response capabilities of personnel.

▲ Air defense shooting

▲ Damage control drill

▲ Towing training under no power
