PLA air defense and air force exercises were held in southern China to counter stealth fighter attacks against ground targets

Air defense units of the People's Liberation Army of China, together with the PLA Air Force, are practicing defense tactics against stealth fighters. As a mock enemy, the Chinese army uses J-20 fighters, which are supposed to imitate the attacks of American F-35 aircraft.

The exercises themselves took place in the central region of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in the south of China. They involved the air defense brigade of the 75th PLA Army and Air Force units stationed in the region. The command of the PLA set before the participants of the exercises the task of maximizing the integration of control systems and firepower of the Air Force and Air Defense of the PLA.

The information received by the Air Force from the pilots was transferred to the air defense brigade of the ground forces, after which seven anti-aircraft missile systems were deployed. Air groups of the mock enemy, however, tried to break through the defenses at a very low altitude. At night, they tried to conduct a surprise attack and used strong electromagnetic interference, but the defending side was able to deploy air defenses.

These exercises, conducted by the Chinese army, indicate that Beijing is increasingly taking the United States as the main threat to China's national security at the moment. There is no doubt that this approach is related to the Taiwan issue. China admits the possibility of the intervention of the American armed forces in the event of a large-scale conflict with the island, respectively, and the People's Liberation Army of China must be prepared to repel possible attacks by the American aviation, including "invisible" fighters, which are used by the US Air Force.

According to Chinese military expert Fu Qianshao in an interview with Global Times, the US Air Force and its satellites are now focusing on ordering fighters designed for ground attacks, and not for air superiority. This means that US F-35 aircraft may prefer to overcome air defenses from low altitudes rather than from high altitudes, and in such a scenario, long-range radars and missiles may lose their advantages, the analyst notes. But then it remains to count on short-range army radars and anti-aircraft artillery installations, as well as small air defense systems installed on cars.

And there will be no reaction to yesterday's "visit" of an American in the form of a destroyer ?! Or is that what she is?

All the exercises in all countries are very similar, the "enemy" attacked insidiously and used the most modern weapons))) but our troops (in this case, Chinese) stopped the breakthrough attempt with decisive and skillful actions and forced the "aggressor" to retreat with minimal losses.

Beijing is increasingly taking the US as the main threat to China's national security

But didn’t he take it seriously before and thought that he would carry it through? Or did the latest US statements on Taiwan and the threat of a "tough response" in the event of Russian assistance put the last stop? And the exercises are for that and exercises in order to be ready for any actions of a potential adversary, which for China today is the United States.
