One horse first!China 053 frigates cruise Diaoyu Islands, China -Russia strategic union reached a new high

[Military Bills Plane] Author: Lele

On July 4, the Ministry of Defense released news that the China and the Russian Navy's frigates each had entered the China Diaoyu Islands territorial area at 7 am that day. Among them, the Russian frigates arrived all the way to the Japanese islands all the way south and arrived in the Gonggu Strait. In contrast, my country's naval warships, which are the first to enter the relevant waters, shocked the outside world. Although this 053H3 frigate was "post -00" (in June 2002) It is absolutely at the end. In the case of such strategic operations between the two sides and showing attitudes towards the outside world, the purpose of sending the backward frigate to the navy has become a very interesting topic.

As the ultimate improvement model of the 053 series frigates, 053H3 started construction in the late 1990s, with a total of 10 watershed, of which the first "521" Jiaxing ship served in 1999. The last "528" Mianyang ship was served in 2005. Followed by it was the 054A frigate built in 2006. The reason why 053H3 has a backward performance is because it is based on the basic upgrade of the 053 frigates. The full -load displacement is less than 2,400 tons. Under the restrictions of the platform and naval carrier equipment at that time, the overall performance of 053H3 is indeed very limited. Essence

In 2014, the "564" Yichang Ship, as the first 053H3 frigate to return to the factory, has opened a two -year upgrade process. From the results, the Yichang ship mainly replaced the classic Haihong flag-7 short-range ship short missiles to the Red Flag-10 that has been tested on the 055, 001/002 aircraft carrier. The four double 37mm auxiliary guns were demolished and replaced with two 630 near -air guns. At the same time, for the replacement of carrier -based weapons, the supporting fire control radar has also been upgraded accordingly, and electronic warfare and satellite communication equipment have been adjusted. Considering that it took two years, and the external modification was relatively limited. It is generally believed that its internal core equipment such as combat systems has improved greatly, but it is difficult for the outside world to observe.

So far, the second "522" Lianyungang ship and the third "523" Putian ship of the 10 053H3 have withdrawn from the Navy in September 2019. After simple modification, they are sold to the Bangladesh Navy. Among the remaining 8 of the 053H3, the "521" Jiaxing ship and the "524" Sanming ship of the longest service time have not been modified (the four consecutive 053H3 are served at the East China Sea fleet), and it seems to be waiting to be resold to other other to other nation. The remaining six of the 053H3 serving in the South China Sea and Beihai Fleet are underway or have been upgraded and modified. It is expected to serve among our navy until 2028.

As a 2400 -ton frigate, the birth of 053H3 was due to the urgent need of a large number of new warships at that time, and the new generation of 052 and 054 drive soldiers could not meet the equipment needs for the time being, so they had to be on the top of 053H3. Although after serving, although it is also special reason for special reasons, in February and November 2013 to escort the waters of the Gulf of Aden (at that time the navy had clarified the rules of the three fleets to escort, and the two 051C destroyers of the Beihai Fleet had a strategy of responsible strategy at that time. The task cannot be sailled, so twice tuned 053H3 to participate in the escort operation). However, after the development of the navy surface equipment, even after the upgraded 053H3, it can only be said that the combat effectiveness is barely more than 1,400 tons of 056A frigates.

Therefore, the Navy's tuning 053H3 "566" Huaihua ship is very clear in the purpose of the sensitive waters. It is to show that the attitude will not completely intensify the situation to avoid extraordinary branches. After all, with the current scale of my country's navy's farewood ship equipment, a 7000 -ton 052D, or even one 12,000 -ton 055 destroyer is also easy. In fact, the real core point of this matter is actually the Russian Navy frigates that follow the Huaihua ship and enter the sensitive sea.

In June 2016, the situation where my country and Russia sent warships to enter the waters are also occurred. This time 6 years ago was the easiest to be reminiscent of the South China Sea incident that shocked the world in July 2016. Judging from the final ending, although my country mainly relies on its own force to solve external threats, Russia has played an important role in the statement before the situation of the situation deteriorated. Now that Russia's military operations in Ukraine are not over, a large number of Russian armed forces have been transferred to the Western Front, and other strategic directions will inevitably have a problem of vacancy in troops. In particular, the Far East direction where the US Navy aircraft carrier strike group and amphibious alert group have been constantly in the near future. At this time, the two sides jointly moved to show the attitude towards the outside world, which is naturally conducive to deterring certain forces.

In fact, the recent strategic military operations of the two countries have not been in the minority. Previously, the two sides sent Tu-95MS strategic bomber and bombardment-6K bomber. Under the escort of the Su-35S and F-16 fighters, they completed the air in the Japanese islands. Strategic cruise. After arriving in Russia in October 2021, the Chinese Navy ’s 055 Nanchang Ship also completed a co -operator with the Russian Navy's team to cruise with the Russian Navy formation. Today, the two frigates sent by the two countries have entered the sensitive waters. Although they are rare, they are not essentially different from the above -mentioned union around the island. Both are the practice of holding a group heating under the external pressure of the two countries. ▲ The classic scene of the bombers of the two countries teamed up with the cruise

As far as the current situation of the battlefield is concerned, it is difficult for Russia to end in the short term in the short term. The main attention of the Russian side will always be stared at Ukraine before the war is over. In this case It will be out of control. At the same time, my country's current overall situation is not very optimistic, and stable surrounding environment is the most solid foundation for ensuring development. Some countries have been unable to quietly dispatch large tonnage warships in this sea to meet their own interests. In this case, China and Russia, which have almost consistent strategic interests, eventually show attitudes with representative actions to avoid the situation from worsening, which is very necessary. In fact, judging from the current treacherous situation in the surrounding areas, this strategic joint action may appear again.
