J-15 locked onto F-15, Australia urged China to stay calm: deeply concerned about China's actions in the past 24 hours!
The J-15 took off from the Liaoning aircraft carrier, and twice used fire control radar to "lock" on to Japan's Air Self-Defense Force F-15 fighter jets in the airspace south of Okinawa - once for about 3 minutes, and another time for as long as 30 minutes.
On the day after the radar lock incident, Japanese Defense Minister Shigenobu Mizuho held talks with Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles in Tokyo.
Marles emphasized in a post-meeting statement: "We are deeply concerned about China's actions in the past 24 hours." He said: "We will continue to raise these issues with China in a very calm, rational, and moderate manner."
During their talks, Marles also visited Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' newly built Mizar-class frigate - this new type of ship may be deployed in the Indo-Pacific hotspot areas in the future, operating in coordination with Japanese, American, and even British vessels. This means that future aerial confrontations may no longer just be a bilateral issue between China and Japan, but could involve the entire "Indo-Pacific Security Small Multilateral" network.
As China's aircraft carrier battle groups conduct regular long-range maritime training, Japan accelerates the deployment of F-35s and long-range strike capabilities, and Australia advances the AUKUS nuclear submarine program, military density and interaction frequency in the Western Pacific will continue to rise. All parties are testing red lines and redefining the boundaries of "professionalism" and "danger."
Therefore, when Australia says "deeply concerned," it is not just repeating diplomatic clichés, but preparing psychologically and institutionally for a possible prolonged strategic confrontation. China should also be prepared to counter Australia's future involvement.
