Japan’s F15 locked by J15 from Liaoning aircraft

Our ambassador to Japan has lodged a stern representation with Japan over Japanese Self-Defense Forces aircraft harassing the training of the Chinese Navy’s aircraft carrier battle group. How should we view Japan’s provocative actions?

Speaking nonsense: 1. Some say it wasn’t fire-control radar. That’s unlikely; no one would be that bored. It wouldn’t have made little Koizumi crawl out of bed at 1 a.m. to hold a press conference. At the very least, the Chinese side also acknowledges the incident, so it couldn’t have been search radar. 2. What is Japan doing? Does anyone remember what happened before the 57 Indo-Pak air battle? The news then was that India sent Rafales close, and Pakistan’s J-10CEs locked onto them first. But India still forced its way through the next day, leading to the 57 air battle. This is a kind of capability test. Locking on is definitely something both sides would want to do. No one would think the little devils are innocent and cute, coming here to act adorable, without intending to deter us, right? If our J-15s were locked onto, what would happen now? 3. Japan’s F-15s are land-based, while our J-15s are carrier-based, and they took off from the Liaoning. Generally, carrier-based aircraft are weaker than land-based ones, and the Liaoning is ski-jump style, with less weapons and fuel than catapult-launched ones. Yet the result is that Japan’s F-15s were the ones locked onto. 4. The two Japanese F-15s were locked onto an hour apart. This shows that Japanese leadership knew what was happening and deliberately sent the second one. What was the Japanese leadership’s intention? 5. The second Japanese F-15 was locked onto before even reaching the airspace. What does that imply? 6. Why F-15s and not F-35s? 7. Where did this take place? Besides the aircraft, who else were the main players? What were all the participants trying to do? Though the news is just a short item, it reveals quite a lot of information.

See, it’s the same old saying: protesting ten thousand times isn’t as good as sailing an aircraft carrier over once. The Pentagon once hung a giant poster called “90,000-ton diplomacy”—that’s the idea. I suggest continuing to slice the salami, cut a bit more, love to see it.

Back then someone said, “Go ahead, illuminate me with fire-control radar…”
Then the Taiwanese side chickened out…
This time, I illuminated with fire-control radar…
And now the other side chickened out again…
Hurry up and fire the first shot…
Anyway, if you fire first, I’ll still kill you…

The Eastern Power still held back a bit.
With the Eastern Power’s electronic warfare capabilities and laser weapons,
knocking down an F-15 would be a matter of minutes.
They still don’t want to give others a handle.
Sometimes being too proper really is a burden.

Mainly, one aircraft was illuminated for over 30 minutes. That’s no different from someone being naked in public for half an hour.
Not very damaging, but extremely insulting.

It’s pretty much confirmed to be fire-control radar, just one step away from a clash.
Koizumi getting up late at night to hold a press conference—he’s running on New York time.
Japan’s provocation is simple: they want to drag the American daddy into this, force the U.S. to take a stance, hope for a hot war between China and the U.S. Now it depends on Trump’s reaction.
The U.S. statements these next few days are quite important.

This incident hasn’t been fully told. Facing Japan’s provocation, the Liaoning wasn’t idle—it locked onto the Japanese aircraft with fire-control radar, the longest lock lasting a full thirty minutes. It directly scared off the Japanese aircraft. That’s why Japan lost it, with the foreign minister getting out of bed overnight to make a false counter-accusation, complaining that China locked onto their aircraft. China immediately responded by extending rare earth reviews for Japan and announced that China will conduct regular military exercises near the Ryukyus. Since you turned around and complained about me, I absolutely won’t indulge you—I’ll just stay right outside your door. Actually, Japan’s behavior is very much like a creature known as a “little cheap jerk” during student days. This creature will suddenly jump out from a dark corner when you’re fighting with the big bully America and can’t pay attention, kick you, then turn and run far away, hiding behind America, Europe, the Philippines, and other countries, feeling smug. They think you have other opponents to deal with right now, so if I pull a cheap move, you can’t turn on me either. Kicking you over the Taiwan issue is a free kick, no loss for me. However, at noon dismissal, when you corner the little cheap jerk at the school gate as he’s about to go home, he realizes there’s no one around, just you and him, and changes to a dog-like face: “What are you doing~ I didn’t kick you this morning! Others kicked you too, why aren’t you going after them? Don’t grab me, I want to go home, I’m going to tell the teacher later.” Originally, you didn’t want to beat him too hard, but after hearing this nonsense, you just feel an intense itching in your palm, and you have to relieve it with the little cheap jerk’s face! So you grab him by the collar, raise your arm high, and swing down hard: slap slap slap~ slap slap slap~ rewarding the little cheap jerk with six big slaps across the face… “Wah wah~ Teacher, I didn’t provoke him, he hit me I’m so innocent” The little cheap jerk cries from noon until afternoon classes, running to the teacher to lodge a false complaint. You regret being so soft, only giving six slaps. Then you secretly resolve: after school this afternoon, I must add twenty more big slaps, have to slap him until he changes teeth early, rolls on the ground, and cries for mercy before it’s over.

Slice more salami, step up the intensity, especially blockades near the Diaoyu Islands waters. Send more like the Fujian aircraft carrier and Type 055s to exercise near the Sea of Japan. Anyway, it seems the little Japanese won’t learn unless they feel pain, so keep hitting them reasonably and legally.

A few details: one of them was continuously illuminated for 30 minutes, and beyond visual range. That’s no different from walking a dog.
The pilot’s mindset: humiliation, terror. With that kind of mindset, they’re pretty much finished. Someone with real insider knowledge could elaborate.
Now it’s about seeing how far north the Liaoning will go. If it really goes all the way to the mouth of Tokyo Bay, that would be hilarious. Probably won’t go that far.

Why only illuminate you and not others? Reflect on that yourself.
