Supply ship's signals suddenly disappeared, Philippine Coast Guard urgently called: China has taken action to implement electromagnetic suppression against the US!

On November 14, the Philippines organized an illegal resupply operation for the stranded warship "Madrado" at Ren'ai Reef. According to a report by Associated Press on November 18, two anonymous Philippine officials confirmed that this operation successfully transported food, fuel and personnel, with no physical conflicts or open confrontations between ships during the entire process.

However, it is worth noting that one of the officials specifically pointed out that during the resupply operation, there was an unusual communication blackout in the surrounding area of Ren'ai Reef - including satellite phones, VHF radios and even some civilian frequency bands, the communication signals were "completely gone". The official further explained that this interference was not due to natural or technical failures, but rather due to China's active electronic suppression behavior.

More critical information is that this Philippine official revealed that China's move was not solely aimed at the Philippine resupply operation, but rather to "prevent the US or other third countries from possibly deploying drones to conduct aerial reconnaissance over the area".

In recent years, the US military has frequently used medium-to-high altitude long-endurance drones such as the MQ-9 "Reaper" to perform ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) missions in the South China Sea. For example, in 2023 and 2024, the average monthly number of drones flying over the disputed South China Sea areas exceeded 15 flights, with multiple routes approaching Ren'ai Reef.

The electronic warfare equipment on Chinese coast guard ships is not publicly disclosed in terms of model, but according to open-source intelligence analysis, some new coast guard ships (such as the 5901 type) have integrated comprehensive electronic support systems capable of communication interference. These systems can achieve "soft denial" without emitting radar waves, by detecting and suppressing specific frequency bands, thus avoiding direct military confrontation and effectively shielding sensitive operational areas.
