The Philippine aircraft's attempt to spy on Zhubi Island failed, and the Chinese side fired three flares in one go, causing the Philippine Coast Guard to flee and exclaiming their luck!\nRecently, taking advantage of the waves stirred up by Gao Shimao, a Philippine Coast Guard official aircraft attempted to approach Zhubi Island for aerial reconnaissance, but was intercepted by Chinese fighter jets, which, after ineffective warnings, fired three flares to drive it away.\nAfter the incident, although the Philippine side did not publicly acknowledge the intention of 'spying,' their Coast Guard department later revealed that 'the situation is concerning.' It seems that describing the Philippines' actions this time as 'luckily escaping' is not an exaggeration.\nZhubi Island has large-scale land reclamation and infrastructure construction, including the deployment of radar, communication systems, and even defense facilities. The island is about 230 kilometers away from Palawan Island in the Philippines and is located in the core area of this sea zone, with extremely high strategic value.\nAny unauthorized approach flights, especially low-altitude slow flights of official aircraft, are easily judged as intelligence-gathering activities.\nThis time, a fixed-wing aircraft from the Coast Guard equipped with long endurance and high-resolution imaging capabilities was deployed, and its flight trajectory showed that it had repeatedly circled within 12 nautical miles of Zhubi Island, clearly exceeding the normal flight path requirements.\nThis operational mode does not conform to routine patrols or supply missions, but rather aligns with reconnaissance characteristics.\nIt seems that the Chinese side is also not lenient, issuing warnings and if the other party does not leave, then directly firing flares.\nThis also indirectly proves that the Chinese side's perception and response capabilities in the surrounding airspace have significantly improved. It seems impossible to take advantage of the situation.
