The Philippine Coast Guard claimed on July 12, 2025, that the Chinese Navy's Type 815 electronic reconnaissance ship, Chinese Coast Guard warships, and the Chinese Navy's Type 052D destroyers were sailing in waters 128 kilometers away from the island of Cabrera in the Philippines. In response, the Philippine Coast Guard dispatched its coast guard ships to approach the Chinese Navy's Type 815 electronic reconnaissance ship, attempting to block it, but was forcefully driven away by the Chinese Coast Guard warships and the Chinese Navy's Type 052D destroyers. The Chinese Navy also launched a Zhi-9 naval helicopter to monitor and warn the Philippine Coast Guard. The Philippine Coast Guard's patrol ship "Teresa Magbuhay" intentionally interfered. Chinese Navy vessels took countermeasures from both sides against the Philippine Coast Guard's patrol ship and drove it away.

Eventually, the Philippine Coast Guard gave a mouthful to the Chinese Coast Guard warships and the Chinese Navy's Type 052D destroyers, trying to contact the Chinese Navy fleet via radio, but was completely ignored by the Chinese Navy's Type 052D destroyers, receiving no response at all. According to the sea area location, the Chinese Navy and Coast Guard formations should be patrolling within the South China Sea, in the area inside the nine-dash line, near the Huangyan Island, which is unrelated to the Philippine authorities and the Philippine Coast Guard. The Philippine Coast Guard is deliberately provoking. The Philippines insisted that they would not do anything to them, so they keep acting out. Actually, the Chinese Navy formation's target is not the Philippines. The Philippine authorities are being overly sentimental. The target of the Chinese Navy's Type 815 electronic reconnaissance ship is the joint exercise of the American, British, and Japanese aircraft carrier fleets.

Currently, besides the Philippine military, the Australian military, the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, the United States Navy, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force are also paying attention to the movements of the Chinese Navy's Type 052D missile destroyers and the Type 815A reconnaissance ships. The Chinese Navy's Type 052D missile destroyers and the Type 815A reconnaissance ships have moved southward and are expected to head from the South China Sea towards northern Australia to observe the military exercises of the U.S., Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The Australian military has also admitted that they are monitoring the Chinese Navy's Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship. It is estimated that in the coming days, the Chinese Navy's Type 052D missile destroyers and the Type 815A reconnaissance ships will arrive near the Australian coast to closely monitor this "Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025" led by the naval forces of the U.S., Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

The appearance of the Chinese Navy's Type 052D missile destroyers and the Type 815A reconnaissance ships in the South China Sea is mainly to monitor the U.S. Navy's Washington aircraft carrier, which has been in the South China Sea for a long time. This means that the Chinese Navy's famous "street rat," the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship, has been following the U.S. Navy's Washington aircraft carrier for a long time. As the U.S. Navy's Washington aircraft carrier is about to leave the South China Sea, the Chinese Navy's Type 815A reconnaissance ship will shift its focus to the joint military exercises of the U.S., Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom. This exercise includes the British Royal Navy's "Princess of Wales" aircraft carrier battle group, the U.S. Navy's "America" amphibious assault ship, the aircraft carrier fleet, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's "Ise" helicopter carrier, forming a core of U.S., British, and Japanese aircraft carrier fleets. It is reported that this "Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025" includes 19 countries, with 35,000 soldiers participating.

The British aircraft carrier battle group will soon face the Type 815A reconnaissance ship!

As a result, the Chinese Navy's Type 052D missile destroyers and the Type 815A reconnaissance ships may closely observe the activities of the U.S., British, and Japanese aircraft carriers, listen to what they talk about through radio communications, and learn about the exercises they conduct. They can collect information and data on the electronic signal characteristics of the U.S., British, and Japanese aircraft carriers. This not only serves as a strong response to the Western exercises but also demonstrates the hard-core capabilities of long-range intelligence. The routine deployment of the Chinese Navy's electronic reconnaissance ships makes the actions of the U.S., Japan, Australia, and the UK impossible to hide, building an information barrier for future confrontations.

The Type 815A reconnaissance ship is called "the street rat," making all foreign warships and even aircraft carriers fear it

For the Chinese Navy's Type 815A reconnaissance ship, since the U.S., Japan, Australia, and the UK have not asked us to come, we will still (invited) attend! We just like to go where there's fun, wanting to see what the U.S. Navy and others are talking about, just wanting to get close and listen. Seeing how frightened the U.S., Japan, and Australia become. This tells the West, "Don't get too cocky, our Type 815 ship won't let anyone come to hit you!" It can be said that the Type 815A reconnaissance ship, known as the "street rat," makes all foreign warships and even aircraft carriers tremble. For the Type 815 electronic reconnaissance ship, wherever there is excitement, there it is! The Chinese Navy's Type 815A reconnaissance ship is truly "four braids on a bun," clearly not someone to be messed with. If the Australian Navy, the British Navy, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the U.S. Navy can come to the South China Sea, we can also go to their doorstep! Collecting intelligence is a basic action to defeat the enemy, and we must take the initiative.
