Nansha Submarine Cemetery Taking Shape, China's Und sinking Aircraft Carrier Upgraded: Xisha Islands' Seabed Becomes Smart Killing Zone, Using AI to Burial US Hegemony Underwater

According to a report from "Defense and Security Asia" on September 5, Chinese military scientists published a study in an academic journal, proposing the use of the complex underwater terrain near the Xisha Islands to create an artificial intelligence-based submarine killing zone.

The research team pointed out that there are many seamounts and trenches around the Xisha Islands, forming acoustic blind spots, which can make submarine sonar ineffective. In the past, the U.S. Navy dominated the Pacific with the quiet performance of its submarines, but if intelligent mines are deployed in these acoustic blind spots, the U.S. Navy's stealth advantage will be completely undermined.

The report believes that China is upgrading the Xisha Islands from an und sinking aircraft carrier to a deep-sea killing array, not only gaining the initiative in air and sea control, but also incorporating the underwater battlefield into the denial system. If implemented, this trend will change the strategic landscape of the South China Sea.

Compared to traditional mines, the new generation of mines combine artificial intelligence and multiple sensors, which can identify unique sonar signatures, hull structures, and wake disturbances of submarines, attacking only specific targets.

This means they do not detonate blindly, but can specifically target U.S. submarines, even aircraft carrier strike groups.

The underwater topography of the Xisha Islands provides natural cover for them, making it almost impossible to detect them in advance with sonar.

Once entering the ambush area, even the quietest U.S. submarine will find it difficult to escape unscathed.

This precise killing capability will enhance China's defensive level.

If previously the Xisha Islands mainly played an air and surface denial role, then deploying AI mines would give it underwater combat capabilities.

The resulting three-dimensional blockage system will combine aerial fighters, ground missiles, and underwater smart weapons, truly building a three-dimensional denial area.

If the United States continues to冒险 enter, it will only pay a heavy price.
