"We protect the waters from Ukraine to the South China Sea": British aircraft carrier brought flotilla to the contested water area of ​​the People's Republic of China

Long voyage of the Royal group fleet the Pacific Ocean is entering its culminating phase. The ships sent by London supplemented the numerous allied forces. With this flotilla, the flagship Queen Elizabeth entered the contested waters of Beijing.

The aircraft carrier brought warships from Great Britain, America, Canada, the Netherlands, Japan and New Zealand to the disputed South China Sea to defend the rights to freedom of navigation in the face of PRC claims to the region

- noted in the UK Defense Journal.

London took this step, despite China's warnings "about the inadmissibility of committing any illegal actions" in the waters that Beijing considers its own. The PLA is closely monitoring the movement of the British AUG and has brought the corresponding forces to a high degree of combat readiness.

The source of the militarization in the South China Sea comes from countries outside the region sending their warships thousands of miles from home to flex their muscles

- stated in the Ministry of Defense of the PRC.

However, London justifies its actions by the need to protect international order:

We are doing absolutely right, defending the right from Ukrainian territorial waters to the South China Sea

- said the British Foreign Office, explaining the constant provocations in various waters of the World Ocean.

The current AUG roster, led by HMS Queen Elizabeth:

HMS Queen Elizabeth
J.S.Ise
USS Ronald Reagan
USS Carl Vinson
JS Kirishima
JS Yamagiri
USS Shiloh
USS Lake Champlain
USS The Sullivans
USS Chafee

We grab some popcorn and watch China's further reaction. But there is a vague suspicion that the dead "mistress of the seas" can get shocked.

[Prisoner]

Unlikely. China has strong nerves, sophisticated brains. They will shovel so that we will not notice, and the British will very much notice. It is not necessary to open fire to break in. The East is a delicate matter, while Asia ...

[Orange bigg]

Fools make an enemy out of China; everyone is trying to impose their own rules of the game, the world order, through force. And thus, for many years in a row, enemies have been cultivated in different parts of the world. Although initially many agreed to a unipolar world, the Anglo-Saxons, with their greyhound and lawlessness, literally forced the countries concerned about this state of affairs to look for options for building a multipolar world, since the unipolar world became for them is simply dangerous.

[TermNachTer]

The Chinese will answer, but not immediately and not militarily, but economically. The Britons have few problems, they still wanted to "rake"))) one can only wish them good luck, in this hopeless enterprise)))

[Orange bigg]

The Chinese can answer militarily, but the slaughter will not suit anyone of those who are in their right mind.

[TermNachTer]

Because there are sane people in Beijing, there will be no military response. But economically, they will step on London's tail in such a way that the sky will seem like a sheepskin to Britons)))

In Britain, and so everything is bad, that there is nowhere to go ...
Here the shaves probably think that they can't get any worse)
The Chinese need to be creative and make London look for a new bottom.

Of the long-term options, the Scottish National Party won in Scotland, the plans for a referendum no later than 2023. The EU said that the Scots will help ... In connection with the possible departure of Scotland to the EU, London voiced thoughts about whether to relocate the submarine fleet ...
for example to France))) probably from those considerations that the status of a nuclear power, in contrast to Scotland. The second version of the United States is more realistic from the political point of view, only a bit far away.

Energy deficit in Britain, one of three cables across the English Channel from France burned out.
And soon winter, gas as in the EU is also lacking only more severely.

Insanity with the drivers of fuel trucks in Britain, to such an extent that there is not enough gasoline at gas stations, as if hinting at the not entirely good capacity of the British government. You just need to wait for the winter, the British will arrange a collapse for themselves, it just needs to be carefully corrected somewhere so that the consequences would be more severe.

[TermNachTer]

So in the North. Ireland is also not happy about leaving the EU, they have something to compare with. the rest of Ireland is close by. Thoughts are heard that it is necessary to unite with the rest of Ireland, and say the last goodbye to London. And there, Wales will remember that he, too, was once an independent state.

[Sergej1972]

Well, Wales has no chance of secession. And in Northern Ireland, the majority of the population is Protestant British and Scottish. Therefore, it is not part of the Republic of Ireland, but part of the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland means the northern part of the island of Ireland, and not the northern part of Ireland as an ethnopolitical entity.

[TermNachTer]

But also Catholics in the North. Ireland has enough, so the option is quite possible. With Wales, too, everything is not so simple, there are also people there who believe that they themselves will be better off.

[Sergej1972]

In Wales, such a minority. Irish Catholics are a clear minority in Northern Ireland. They are one third of the population.

[TermNachTer]

In order to hold a referendum for secession from England, 30% is more than enough.

[Sergej1972]

Why conduct it if you know about a deliberately negative result? Secession requires more than 50% of the votes for. And a referendum can only be held with the consent of the UK authorities. The right to secession is not guaranteed by UK law. That is, everything depends on the goodwill of the British authorities. For all my negative attitude towards British politics, I am even more negative about the separatists inside this country. All their programs are sheer demagoguery.

[TermNachTer]

The US elections are an excellent example of democracy))) Ulster can also secede without permission from London, taking into account what a mess is going on in England.

[Sergej1972]

There is a clear majority of the population for Britain. The minority has no right to decide the fate of this territory.

[TermNachTer]

Yeah, you tell it in Ukraine))) they will believe you there, they won't even laugh, just out of politeness))))

Because there are sane people in Beijing, there will be no military response.

The submarine USS Connecticut (SSN 22) got into an emergency in the afternoon of October 2 in the South China Sea, but this became known only on Thursday, October 7. The collision occurred during a dive. The submarine is now in a "safe and stable" state. According to the US military, the accident did not affect the nuclear power plant, it is fully operational.
During the incident, 11 sailors were injured, they received minor and moderate injuries. The life of the military is not in danger.

We carried out reconnaissance before the passage. AND collided with the subject
China hasn't rusted. And the boat hobbled to the base.

[TermNachTer]

The commander of the "subject" - an extraordinary title and "Hero of the People's Republic of China"))))

[Alex777]

American nuclear attack submarine, known for the 2003 bear attack, collided with an unknown object in the Indo-Pacific region, this was told in the US Navy

It is difficult to imagine a more moronic statement than "I encountered an unknown object (object)".
Nothing to go underwater in the Yellow Sea.
And Australia, on a note: even Sea Wolfe did not pass.
And no claims to China for the underwater "barrier" until it sounded. From September 2nd.

[TermNachTer]

Yes, the "wolf" was advertised as super - duper))) however, the mattress covers, apparently, did not even understand what they were facing. I don't think the Aussies will buy the Sea Wolf, even if it turned out to be expensive for mattress makers. I think it will be "Virginia", with modifications to the requirements of the customer. But this is not a quick deal, given the shortage of skilled workers at American shipyards.

[Alex777]

I also think that the States of Virginia Block V Australia will give. 40 Tomahawks in the VPU are a serious force.
Moreover, the States themselves are going to create a new multipurpose nuclear submarine.
And they can get money for the creation of this new one just from the Australian contract.
This is quite possible.

mattress toppers, apparently did not even understand what they were facing.

So this is also one of the most professional submarine crews in the States there should be.
And here is such a bummer.
Although they can hide the circumstances so as not to disgrace themselves even more. I would not be surprised at this turn.

[TermNachTer]

I think that the mattress covers will sell the Aussie "the most budgetary" option, without a launcher for "axes", since the cost of 8 nuclear submarines + naval base + training of crews and coastal servants - the amount is prohibitive. Australia is unlikely to pull this. Most likely, the construction will be partially on credit.

[Alex777]

The cost of the Block V nuclear submarine in the maximum limit of 5 billion.
8 boats (including construction in Australia) -
40 billion
From 60+ that the French wanted another 20+ for "little things" remains. All Australians will pull. Easy to do.
Therefore, they were called into the alliance in their name.

[TermNachTer]

This is all theoretical. Will mattress shipyards be able to handle such volumes, given the shortage of skilled workers? The economy is also a capricious lady, with current energy prices))) and there is another economic crisis, and there is another pandemic. So all this is "written with a pitchfork on the water"

[Alex777]

Quote: TermNachTER

It is known that they will not pull.

8 boats (including construction in Australia)

[TermNachTer]

Given the fact that such ships have never been built in Australia. These are so many problems that it's scary to even think - for an understanding person))))

[Alex777]

Quote: TermNachTER

This is not our problem.
But shipbuilding in Australia is on par.
Then the United States will build nuclear submarines.

[TermNachTer]

When were ships (ships) with nuclear reactors built in Australia? I still work for Motor Sich and see what it means to master the production of new equipment, although the production of another engine modification is simply organized. When at the plant, this was not done at all and everything will have to be done from scratch, these are problems above the roof.

[Alex777]

Quote: TermNachTER

Agree. Let's see how everything will be.
The first stage was about renting boats from the States.
Until they learn to build.

[TermNachTer]

Personally, I see the situation in such a way that mattress makers: 1. Want to make money on the Aussie. 2. Make the Aussie "cannon fodder" for solving their problems in the APR. For such purposes, you can even promise them the "Death Star")))

[Petro_tut]

It is not enough for the Britons to have problems, they still wanted to "rake")))

I think nothing will happen. All these ships will pass by China without entering the ships, and the Chinese will wave their handles after them from the shore. And of course they will raise a wave in the press.

Well, for example, the American nuclear submarine seawolf in the Pacific Ocean collided with something unknown and received minor damage, kept its course.

https://m.vz.ru/news/2021/10/7/1122979.html

Here, too, a large number of escorts are planned. The Chinese will also probably launch submarines for escort.

A mission to intimidate China from a large congestion of submarines and surface ships could lead to similar accidents and escalate into tragic rescue missions.

No aggression, just a coincidence, due to Britain's rash provocative actions in this region.

dead "mistress of the seas"

She has been stinking for a long time, from this "mistress" ...

[Doccor18]

This is what it turns out, 4 aircraft carriers, 8 destroyers and frigates ... A serious group has gathered. How can China respond to this real challenge?

[Orange bigg]

China has something to answer.

An image from China has surfaced online showing the estimated composition of the PLA Navy by the end of 2021. This is how they see their fleet in Beijing.

Count the Chinese ships.

According to Western military experts, in a relatively short period of time, the PLA Navy has moved to second place in the world in terms of its performance, overtaking the Russian Navy and is already "stepping on the heels" of the US Navy.

By the end of 2021, Beijing plans to acquire a third aircraft carrier. To the two existing ones, "Liaoning" (project 001) and "Shandong" (project 001A / 002), one more non-nuclear aircraft carrier will be added (project 003). Its construction has been underway since 2018 at a shipyard in Shanghai. He is supposed to have electromagnetic catapults.

Another helicopter carrier will also appear (project 075). It is a cross between the French "Mistral" type UDC and the American "America" ​​type UDC. Now China has two such ships. A total of eight units are planned to be built.

Production of UDC type "Qinchenshan" (project 071) for the PLA Navy has been discontinued. The Chinese have enough available eight units, a series of which was built and put into operation in the period 2006-2020. Now one such UDC is being manufactured for Thailand.

In 2021, seven more (so far there is one) large missile destroyers (project 055) will appear in the PLA Navy. All of them have already been launched and are in varying degrees of readiness. In NATO, these ships are designated as Renhai-class cruisers.

The number of Kunming-class destroyers in service (project 052D) will increase to 37 units. The Lanzhou-class destroyers (project 052C, 6 units in service) will no longer be built for the Chinese fleet. The PRC also has enough frigates of the URO "Jiankai" (pr. 054) - 32 units.

The Anglo-Saxons are aggravating, bringing their squadrons to the shores of China. China does not allow itself the same in relation to the Anglo-Saxons. Of course, such guests should be met by a squadron on a parallel course, so that they do not think too much about themselves and, most importantly, do not allow themselves too much.

[akims]

China does not allow its own kind in relation to the Anglo-Saxons.

It's high time. With a return visit, so to speak.

[AllBiBek]

Economic sanctions.
And it will not be funny to everyone whose ships are in the flotilla.
Not immediately, of course, but - the Chinese have been able to slowly choke the condemned at the level of art since the time of BC.
And now they can afford it, and relatively painless for themselves.

[TermNachTer]

In the immediate vicinity of their coast, the Chinese can do a lot. The question is that no one wants to start the Third World War, yet))))

Yes, the Anglo-Saxons are everywhere trying to flex their muscles. However, China's actions are also provocative. In fact, he chopped off a huge chunk of neutral waters, filling the islands and declaring this zone his own. Now you can chew popcorn, but what will happen in 50 years, when China reaches global hegemony? So far it does not concern us - everything is fine, but what will be the world order next? This prohibition will affect our shipping as well.

[Boa kaa]

The rates are going up. The Anglo-Saxons moved the former colonialists to the role of provocateur, apparently remembering the opium wars. But those times have sunk into oblivion and the PRC is now a superpower equal to the United States. But the hegemon is releasing the hardened provocateur-intriguer of the international level - small Britain - ... The calculation, apparently, is that China will remember its former humiliation, inflame with hatred of the former colonialists and succumb to provocation. It is then that the hegemon will come to the fore.
Thus, the United States is consistently pursuing a course of escalating tensions in the APR. The goal is obvious - to slow down the PRC, because. the States can no longer overtake their main competitor in another way. Wondering what they'll do when cheap Chinese goods go missing?
And the last thing. And the local people know something about the Chinese DF-21D? Maybe they decided on their own skin to check their performance characteristics. Then - a flag in their hands and a drum on their neck, so that Neptune does not wait for them for a long time in his underwater kingdom.
IMHO.

[Yuri V.A]

Today, the Chinese have become more modest, not like the Dunvfens, they do not send ships to squeeze strangers from their terrorists, they are limited to an honor guard. So it looks like this funny hop company will punish the Chinese somewhere near the Paracel Islands.

Dumb British admirals have ditched a lot of their ships, they are no stranger. Compared to the stupidity of the British naval commanders, the nonsense of the Soviet admirals who commanded the Baltic and Black Sea fleets during the Second World War is simply ridiculous. The Britons know how to destroy their ships with sophistication, with great incomprehensible stubbornness and absolute recklessness. Read the history of the war at sea, the First, the Second World, and the Falklands. Even written by Anglo-Saxon historians. And this with the overwhelming superiority of the British navy fed by the unfortunate colonies. Only now there are no colonies, from the British show-off there were red-haired wrestlers. And when the patles fall out, then that's it. A curtain.

To protect the waters from Ukraine, it is necessary for Her Majesty's money to build a suitable sewerage system in all coastal and riverine cities of Ukraine, and to allocate outfits of Her Majesty's guards to protect the constructed structures so that the large ones do not take everything away from the farmsteads. Then the anthem will not reach China.
