The Philippine aircraft patrol ship was just driven away, and two U.S. warships came again to test the waters! Now, it seems that the reclamation and construction of islands at Huangyan Island, garrisoning troops, and building an airport may be about to happen soon.
After land reclamation, garrisoning troops, and building an airport, the U.S. and Philippines will no longer need to constantly think about Huangyan Island, completely ending their aspirations. The times have changed now, and today is different from the past. Both in terms of strength and weapons, there have been significant changes.
Now, the U.S. military only deploys one 26-year-old Aegis-class destroyer and another with no missiles. The famous "waste" warship - the Littoral Combat Ship.
At the scene of Huangyan Island, we have two 054A frigates, four large maritime police ships, and Su-30MKK heavy fighter jets in the sky, all protecting Huangyan Island comprehensively.
Huangyan Island is quite large, and if really expanded, it will take a long time. However, that's not a problem; the longer it takes, the better! Now the United States and the Philippines will be comfortable.
If the expansion of Huangyan Island is successful, then the U.S. military base in northern Philippines, which was built with great investment, will actually become obsolete. It's because the Philippines didn't appreciate it.
