The Yan'an, a Type 055 large destroyer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, has conducted electronic warfare training in the waters east of the Taiwan Island in coordination with carrier-based aircraft to address electromagnetic interference challenges.
As a "sentry" of the aircraft carrier formation, the Yan'an encountered electromagnetic interference while sailing in the waters east of the Taiwan Island during the exercise, with its electronic warfare division detecting abnormal signals.
The destroyer coordinated with carrier-based aircraft to repel electronic jamming aircraft from a mock enemy, successfully countering the electromagnetic interference.
"We execute combat mission aboard destroyer Yan'an, rushing at the forefront of the aircraft carrier formation, engaging in air defense, missile defense, anti-submarine warfare, and electronic warfare. We stand on the front line in both visible and invisible warfares," said Wang Liang, deputy commander of the destroyer.
In modern naval warfare, the rivalry extends beyond the combat power of a single vessel to the comprehensive evaluation of the formation system.
The individual combat capability of the PLA Navy's vessels continues to enhance, while the navy's systemic combat capability has also reached new heights.
