The South China Sea is the widest and deepest sea area in the waters around the mainland, which is very suitable for submarine activities. The Americans have seen this point in mind, so they have repeatedly dispatched anti-submarine planes and reconnaissance ships to the South China Sea to carry out inappropriate actions. Recently, the Chinese side once again discovered a US military plane circling over the South China Sea, and immediately dispatched its coast guard.
Not long ago, according to public information, our side discovered that a US military plane appeared over the South China Sea, and judging from the pictures made public by our side, this plane is the most advanced anti-submarine aircraft of the US military, the P-8 "Poseidon" anti-submarine plane. This anti-submarine aircraft is the most advanced anti-submarine aircraft in the US military and even in the world, with a patrol radius of more than 2,000 kilometers, equipped with advanced airborne equipment such as APY-10 airborne radar, and has powerful submarine search and anti-submarine capabilities. In addition, this type of anti-submarine aircraft also has the ability to carry advanced anti-submarine weapons, including anti-submarine torpedoes, missiles, etc., and its combat power is quite strong! Some people in the United States even said that the combat power of one P-8 anti-submarine aircraft can almost be comparable to that of two P-3C anti-submarine aircraft previously equipped by the US military! Not long ago, the US military deployed this anti-submarine aircraft in Cuba in order to counter the Russian Navy's Kazan nuclear submarine. It can be seen from this that this kind of plane going to the waters of the South China Sea is obviously ill-intentioned, and it is very likely that it is going for "anti-submarine and submarine searching"!
Sure enough, our side discovered that this US military plane dropped some unidentified objects in the South China Sea! Moreover, the scene where the US plane dropped these objects has been discovered by our side on the spot and photographed for evidence! It can be described as ironclad evidence! Therefore, under these circumstances, our coast guard immediately dispatched and finally succeeded in salvaging the items dropped by the US planes, thwarting the US planes' attempt to use these items to "do things," and won a victory. According to public information from relevant quarters, the item dropped by the US military plane is the so-called "submarine detector", and this "submarine detector" is actually very likely to be a sonar buoy carried by an anti-submarine plane.
The sonar buoy is a submarine detection device mainly equipped with anti-submarine aircraft, and the antenna automatically extends out of the water after the launch, the base array sinks into the water, the battery is powered, and the buoy begins to work, and then it can begin to detect and warn the underwater submarine. Generally speaking, this kind of sonar buoy can work for several hours or even more than ten hours, and its main role is to collect submarine signals. According to the American side, one P-8 is capable of carrying 100 anti-submarine sonar buoys.
To sum up, it can be seen that the US anti-submarine plane came to the South China Sea to deliberately spy on the activities of our submarines and even collect relevant information about our submarines. Fortunately, this time, our coast guard made a decisive dispatch and successfully salvaged the detector dropped by the US plane, thwarting the US military's plot, and the detector dropped by the US military was successfully captured by us.
