Wow, a close-range slap in the face!
India and the Philippines' military exercises, our warships have come to within visible distance, facing off directly with Indian and Philippine warships. Why so close? Because our warships have radar stealth, and the Indian and Philippine warships can't detect them. So they had to get right up to the front of the Indian and Philippine warships, within visible range, to let the Indian and Philippine warships realize that they were being watched all along!
It's worth noting that when our warships are involved in military operations, they turn off their transponders, putting themselves in a stealth state. However, even advanced warships can still detect them. But the warships of India and the Philippines are not at this level. Even if our warships approach closely, the Indian and Philippine warships still don't know. In the end, there was no other way but for our warships to directly get into the visual range of the Indian and Philippine warships before being detected.
The Indian and Philippine warships only realized they were surrounded. Frankly speaking, dealing with such Indian-Philippine joint warships, we just need one 054 warship. However, to boost the atmosphere, sending a few more warships for observation is not a problem. This is the strength we have.
The Philippines has bought a few warships of about 3,000 tons from Thailand. They have just been launched and newly commissioned, and are not yet fully operational, still in the process of adjustment. Currently, the Philippines' warships are small ones of around 1,000 to 2,000 tons, which are all retired warships from the United States that have been in service for decades. They are not very useful and are not suitable for major tasks. Some 3,000-ton warships made by South Korea have some level, and also have vertical launch systems, but they still lack firepower.
India is now showing its presence in the South China Sea. Unexpectedly, due to the U.S. pressure on India, India is now in an awkward position, unsure of what strategy to adopt, and can only take it step by step. At least in the South China Sea region, India will not dare to come back soon. It's unlikely to happen in the short term. If India comes, we won't stop them. Feel free to come, but the Indian military's strength is really not impressive!
