Chinese fighter jets disguised as foreign military aircraft, heading south all the way to the Philippines, have left foreign military experts in awe with their imaginative tactics!
Reuters reported that in recent months, a large Chinese military drone has been impersonating a Belarusian cargo plane, then a British Royal Air Force "Typhoon" fighter jet, and even an anonymous Gulfstream business jet. Its flight area covers from Boao to the Philippines, and from the Xisha Islands to the coastlines near Vietnam.
This incident was uncovered by Reuters using flight tracking data from Flightradar24, which has left many Western military observers exclaiming "mind-blowing," praising this tactic for its imagination. Alexander Neill, a Singaporean security analyst, said that this "is more like a tactical drill for potential conflicts rather than just training."
Daguo believes that regardless of how Western experts analyze it, one thing is certain: in future conflicts, such decoy drones may be used to attract fire and cover the breakthrough of main aircraft.
It is currently unclear whether these flights are fully pre-programmed or remotely controlled by ground personnel. If the latter, Daguo believes it means China has already established the capability to remotely and in real-time intervene in complex electronic warfare missions.
In other words, it's a low-cost, high-risk but controllable method to test a new operational concept: using drones as electronic decoys to disrupt the enemy's perception system at critical moments, creating breakthroughs for the main forces. This approach is becoming increasingly important in modern warfare, especially when facing opponents with strong air surveillance networks.
