The Chinese Communist Party’s State owned television broadcaster CCTV reported that the Chinese military used naval & air forces in multiple locations to conduct “full tracking & surveillance” against the US Air Force transport aircraft flying Pelosi and her delegation from Kuala Lumpur to Taipei on August 2nd.
However, a source said the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) tracking efforts – which involved jets and Type 055 destroyers – failed. “The PLA deployed some electronic warfare aircraft such as the J-16D & warships to try to locate Pelosi’s aircraft, but were not successful,” the source said.
“Almost all the PLA electronic warfare equipment couldn’t work properly because they were all jammed by electronic interference by the American aircraft strike group sent by the Pentagon to escort her.”
Electronic warfare between PLA & US military went back to the 1995-96 Taiwan Strait crisis. When the American forces jammed almost all PLA’s military radar systems during its missile tests. That’s why China developed its own BeiDou Satnav System. But again Chinese electronic warfare system has been a mute spectator and completely blinded.
