【The Chinese People's Liberation Army's heavy twin-engine fighter flew low, causing the Filipinos to become tense instantly, shouting that the J-15 had arrived】

Recently, there was a maritime standoff between China and the Philippines near the Huangyan Island. On the 13th, the U.S. Navy ship "Higgins" (DDG-76) temporarily changed direction and entered the territorial waters of the Huangyan Island after entering the South China Sea, and was finally driven away by the Southern Theater Command Navy.

However, the U.S. destroyer, the "Cincinnati" LCS 20, as well as a large number of Philippine vessels, continued to circle around the outer sea of the Huangyan Island. The Philippines also deployed a Cessna 208 light aircraft, flying around the Huangyan Island.

At this moment, the Southern Theater Command quickly deployed heavy fighters to drive away and warn the U.S. and Philippine ships and aircraft.

Perhaps they had not seen the scene of a heavy fighter flying low before. In a panic, the Filipinos mistook this fighter for a carrier-based J-15 fighter.

You know, if a carrier-based fighter is active near the Huangyan Island, it means that the Liaoning or Shandong aircraft carrier must be nearby. If the Chinese aircraft carrier arrives, that would be a big deal. The Filipinos fell into great panic.

In fact, the aircraft carrying out the interception mission was the Su-30MKK from the Southern Theater Command. It is a heavy fighter imported from Russia after 2003, and it is now in the later stage of its service life, possibly to be replaced by the J-16 or J-20 in the coming years.

The Su-30MKK, as a fighter aircraft for air combat missions, is already somewhat outdated, but it is still very skilled in coastal verification and interception tasks.

The dual-engine and dual-seat configuration gives the Su-30MKK significant advantages in flight speed, endurance, and aerial verification.

Such twin-engine, twin-seat heavy aircraft, which are not particularly advanced, have become the main force for the Chinese People's Liberation Army in patrolling and inspecting tasks in the South China Sea, East China Sea, and Taiwan Strait. This allows the J-20 stealth fighter to be freed from the daily complex patrol tasks to perform more important missions and training.
