Philippines - China Tensions Mounting

Chinese Carrier Strike Group Deploys to Philippine Sea:
Chinese aircraft carrier CNS Shandong (17) sailed into the Philippine Sea accompanied by two escorts and conducted flight operations there on Monday, according to a Japan Joint Staff Office (JSO) release. This is the third time that Shandong has deployed to the Philippine Sea this year. Meanwhile, People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) ships and a Chinese unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) have been operating around Japan’s southwest islands over the past week. On Monday in Indonesia, the Russian and Indonesian navies began their first ever bilateral naval exercise with Russia deploying a surface action group for the drills.

On Monday at 11 a.m., the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) confirmed Shandong, together with cruiser CNS Yan’an (106) and destroyer CNS Zhanjiang (165), were sailing in an area 447 miles south of Miyako Island. A map included with the release showed the PLAN carrier strike group (CSG) located east of the northeast tip of the Philippine main island of Luzon.

Shandong launched and recovered fighters and helicopters. JMSDF destroyer JS Yugiri (DD-153) surveilled the Chinese strike group, according to the release.

The Shandong CSG had previously deployed to the Philippine Sea Jul. 9-18 before returning to its homeport. The carrier deployed briefly to the Philippine Sea Aug. 12-13. The PLAN has been increasing its carrier activities this year following CNS Liaoning’s (16) return in March from refurbishment. Last week, China announced the first-ever dual-carrier operations drill in late October. The increased activities come ahead of the expected transfer of the carrier air wing to carrier Fujian (18), which is currently undergoing sea trials and will operate a larger air wing than Liaoning and Shandong.

This video has a bit more of what the paths were prior to the collision.


To me, it looks like all ships were on a parallel course then BRP Suluan takes a pretty hard right rudder and just crosses the bow of PLAN 164. Extremely risky in itself.

CCG 3104 wasn't paying attention? and then goes right into the bow of 164. That part doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Any other PRC political actions in response to this besides? There may be attempts in the future by PI or TWN to repeat the maneuver and take out more of PRC's ships.
 
⚡️Ukraine and the Philippines will jointly produce drones — the signing of the agreement is planned by the end of October.

This was announced by the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Philippines Yuliia Fediv, writes Naval News.

In general, the memorandum between the countries will provide for cooperation in the field of technology, training and development of capabilities.
