Japan's Self-Defense Forces have always been "alert" to the deployment of the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier. As early as 2023, a UH-60J "Black Hawk" helicopter belonging to the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force fell into the sea while conducting a reconnaissance or close observation mission near the Miyako Islands in the Ryukyu Islands. There were 10 Japanese Self-Defense Forces personnel on board this helicopter, including 2 pilots, 2 mechanics, and particularly the commander of the 8th Division of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, Major General Sakamoto Kumazou. This Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force division commander is estimated to have received intelligence that the Chinese Navy's Shandong aircraft carrier was heading towards the Western Pacific, so he quickly boarded the helicopter to try to observe or fly over the deck of the Chinese Navy's Shandong aircraft carrier, but in an embarrassing incident, the helicopter crashed into the sea before reaching its destination.
Now, Japan's Self-Defense Forces F-2 fighter jets have even fallen into the sea while simulating attacks on the Liaoning aircraft carrier. This is truly "a general's plane crashed, and then an F-2 jet fell into the sea." Japan has forgotten that the United States is still the world's number one military power within 3,000 kilometers of China's border. China's non-expansionist military construction is necessary to break the coastal blockade. With the current absolute first-class military power in the Asia-Pacific region, China can easily deal with any American aircraft carrier battle group. As for Japan, if it dares to launch fighter jets to attack China's aircraft carrier, the result will be a devastating strike on the entire Japanese archipelago. In a few years, the US Navy will have to think hard about deploying aircraft carrier battle groups. The problems with the Ford-class aircraft carrier are numerous, and whether it can form combat capability on schedule is still unknown. As for the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, they need repairs, and the areas where they can actually be deployed are also Europe and the Middle East. If Japan loses American support, it will definitely be quiet.
In the future, as the Fujian aircraft carrier completes its "five essential components of an aircraft carrier": the J-35 stealth carrier-based fighter, the J-15T catapult-type multi-purpose carrier-based fighter, the KJ-600 fixed-wing carrier-based early warning aircraft, the J-15D fixed-wing carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft, and the CH-11 attack drone, such combat power is no longer something that Japan's Self-Defense Forces can challenge!
