After being illuminated by radar, the small day panicked

It turned out to be this reason. On December 8, expert interpretation: Fire control radar illumination is definitely not an ordinary scan; to put it bluntly, it's like the gun muzzle has already been pressed against the forehead, and the opponent's aircraft has completely entered the missile attack range; as long as the button is pressed, it can hit directly. This is the highest level of warning signal according to international standards.

Japanese pilots in the cockpit, facing the piercing alarms and flashing red lights, understand in their hearts that this is not an exercise; this is a matter of life and death. One more step forward, and the risk becomes unpredictable, so afterwards they hurriedly pretended to be victims in the public opinion arena, desperately amplifying the so-called sense of threat, behind which lies a sense of guilt and powerlessness.

What truly terrifies them is the completely unequal hardware gap between Chinese and Japanese fighter jets. The J-15 has long been equipped with advanced gallium nitride radar, with a detection range of up to 300 kilometers, capable of simultaneously locking onto more than twenty targets, and outstanding anti-jamming capabilities.

In contrast, the small day's F-15J has been in service for over forty years, with radar from decades ago that can detect only up to 200 kilometers, tracking a maximum of six targets at a time. In comparison, even if it takes off first, it is very likely to be locked on without having detected our trace, and the technological gap leaves it with no room to retaliate.

These are not advantages at the individual aircraft level, but a manifestation of the entire systematic combat capability, from radar to missiles, transitioning from individual aircraft to coordinated formations. The hard power of the Chinese navy has significantly surged in recent years.

This change directly alters the psychological situation at sea; the opponent can no longer casually wander around their doorstep as they did in the past. Back then, they might still rely on equipment advantages for reconnaissance, but now they are facing opponents with more advanced equipment, longer ranges, and faster responses.

Fire control radar illumination is an obvious warning. The pressure felt by the opponent is not illusory but a real-time lethal threat. This incident is just a microcosm, exposing the current power disparity between the two sides.

The Chinese navy already has ample capability to maintain maritime security, no longer passively defending but capable of proactively delivering strong responses. In the future, any tests or provocations will face this reality — the gap in strength will turn reckless actions into dangerous gambles.

The Chinese navy, through practical actions, demonstrates its strength and confidence, making all potential challengers think twice about getting too close.
