CCTV News and the Global Times have continued to report on the long-range training of the dual aircraft carrier strike groups. Recently, the画面 of Japan's P-3C anti-submarine aircraft maliciously approaching the Shandong aircraft carrier in an attempt to disturb has been recorded. Chinese J-15 fighter pilots laterally intercepted and positively cut in, demonstrating immense courage.
According to Japanese sources, these two carrier strike groups, with a total of 17 warships, appeared behind Japan, which is unprecedented. It is also the largest, most capable, and highest-displacement combat fleet ever sent by the Chinese Navy. It remains unknown when this record will be broken. Such a massive fleet conducting long-range training and independent maritime operations at such distances is unprecedented. Our capabilities for entering, fighting, and ensuring in the far seas have made significant progress. If viewed from a distance, even communication could be a major issue. However, through space-based systems and networks, we can now maintain normal communication between the fleet and the base.
Additionally, in distant sea operations, communication between warships, between ships and aircraft, and even with submarines are all major challenges. Previously, we only conducted such operations in near seas; now, in distant sea regions and deep ocean areas, these difficulties should be immense. The fact that we can demonstrate strong capabilities and frequently conduct realistic takeoffs and landings of carrier-based aircraft shows that our shortcomings in this area have been fully addressed. Conducting persistent operations in distant seas, away from bases, under self-sufficient conditions, is one of the hardest operational standards for navies worldwide. China has achieved this standard. The performance of the dual aircraft carrier strike group during their long-range training, including the number of carrier-based aircraft sorties and the composition of the entire task force, is impeccable.
The appearance of a massive fleet of 17 warships in distant sea regions demonstrates significant improvements and developments in our long-range training achievements and capabilities. In the future, the U.S. aircraft carrier hegemony will no longer dominate the global oceans. By using its so-called aircraft carrier hegemony, the U.S. intervenes in hotspots around the world and participates in various strike actions, which is America's ace card. Therefore, the U.S. has shown extreme jealousy towards the appearance of China's dual aircraft carrier strike group in distant seas. They believe the oceans are theirs alone, and American aircraft carriers can roam freely across the globe, while other countries cannot conduct any normal training.
China's dual aircraft carrier strike group has proven with facts and demonstrated with a massive fleet of 17 vessels that we can play a crucial role in distant seas and achieve significant results. All conditions for combat and training are now fully met. Our communications, carrier-based aircraft realism, and weapon usage in distant seas are historically unmatched. This record is just today's achievement, but I believe it will eventually be surpassed by the Chinese Navy. When a three-carrier strike group appears for training in distant seas, it will be even more impressive.
