Military expert: China’s generation of ship captains are very familiar with the future combat waters
CCTV News:In recent years, the People’s Navy has had hundreds of sub-ships and more than 100 sorties of aircraft for offshore training on the island chain. Further test the offshore combat plan and tactics training method of the main warships, and enhance the joint combat capability of the troops in the offshore.
At the beginning of this year, a long-distance training formation consisting of naval ships Hefei, Yuncheng, Changbai Mountain and Honghu conducted long-distance joint training in the South China Sea, the Western Pacific Ocean and the Central Pacific Ocean for 34 days with a track of 10,000 nautical miles.
Yin Zhuo, a military expert: "Because the waters we cover are getting wider and wider, it should be said that our generation of captains are very familiar with the waters we will fight in the future, and we are gradually expanding our training waters, which will cover all our future possible combat waters."
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction and development of the navy has entered a golden age. In 2018 alone, the navy organized more than ten batches of dozens of sub-ships and dozens of aircraft to go out to the island chain for offshore training. On April 20, 2018, a sea area in the western Pacific surged, and a J -15 carrier-based fighter jet rushed out of the bow of the Liaoning ship and flew into the blue sky. On the vast ocean, an aircraft carrier formation consisting of a Liaoning ship and several escort ships launched a "back-to-back" comprehensive offensive and defensive confrontation exercise with the blue missile destroyers Jinan and Changchun.
Hujie, the captain of the Navy Changchun Ship, said: "I participated in this offshore combat training with the formation of the aircraft carrier, providing air defense tasks for the aircraft carrier, and also undertaking the tasks of anti-submarine and anti-ship operations. Our current actual combat training should be said to have shifted from offshore defense to offshore defense, and the biggest change is that the region has changed, the strength has also changed, the training content has also changed, and the training methods have also changed. "
Lu Qiangqiang, deputy captain of the Liaoning Navy, said: "In the past few years, we have achieved many firsts, including taking off and landing at night, including the long voyage out of the island chain, including the actual use of weapons. At present, I think there should be a big breakthrough in the training of carrier-based aircraft, formation cooperation training and so on. I believe that in the near future, we can see that a relatively mature aircraft carrier formation can complete various tasks entrusted by superiors. "
At the end of 2017, the navy organized live-fire confrontation exercises in the relevant sea and airspace of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. The participating forces were mainly navies in various theaters, including some forces of the Air Force, covering various combat platforms of aviation, submarines, surface ships and coastal defense forces.
Ai Peng, captain of the Navy Huangshan Ship: "Winning or losing is not a key point we should consider now. The real key point is what our actual combat capability can achieve, which is the most concerned by each of our commanders. So how do we improve, that is, think through each exercise. How do we solidify or upgrade this ability? This is to be improved in the subsequent specialization and refinement. "
