"
Military expert Fu Qianxian told the Global Times reporter on the 20th:" Although the United States sent B-52 strategic bomber, But this model has poor maneuverability, weak self -defense ability, and low survivability, so other military planes are required to escort them. However, the Philippines does not have heavy fighters, and its FA -50 is converted from a light single -shot coaching aircraft.Its closer. Such a combination can only show the so -called union of the two sides in a certain area. "Zhuo Hua, an expert in international issues of international relations from Beijing University of Foreign Languages University, believes that this patrol formation that Philippines is pushed together is more like the" grass class team ""The" patrol in the small airspace "on the so -called exclusive economic zone in the Philippines, can not talk about tactical collaboration, nor shows strategic scare, is more symbolic showing."
This is the third joint patrol of Feimei in the South China Sea this year, and it is also the fourth joint patrol since November 2023.Zhuo Hua believes that in the near future, the Philippines has frequently provoked in the South China Sea, and from time to time, the so -called "joint patrol" is hype. The original intention is just showing off a mountain and willing to support themselves.However, such activities still have long -term destruction of regional security."These joint operations are the formation of the so -called" Maritime Cooperation Action "that Philippines began to mechanism last year. This shows that the Philippines is accelerating to bypass regional multilateral security mechanisms, and while the United States curbs the background of the United States to curb suppression, try to use and cooperate with extraterritorial forces.To engage in military speculation and interfere with the "South China Sea Code" consultation, this is a great hidden danger for the security and stability of the South China Sea. "Fu Qianxian said that in response to such" joint patrols ", the PLA will inevitably monitor., It will inevitably respond.
