中國航艦「遼寧號」10月再度率編隊前往西太平洋訓練。美國軍事媒體《Defense News》引述多名軍事分析人士研判,遼寧號頻繁執行遠海部署,可能正形成持續演進的訓練模式,測試飛行作業、感測器及現代化軍機,相關經驗也可能有助「山東號」航艦掌握新技術。
《Defense News》23日報導,澳洲新南威爾斯大學榮譽教授塞耶(Carl Thayer)認為,遼寧號持續出現在中國近海與遠海,展現中國海軍的軍事能力與政治影響力。新加坡南洋理工大學拉惹勒南國際研究院高級研究員許瑞麟(Collin Koh)則指出,山東號基本上是遼寧號的改良型,遼寧號此次部署可能是在驗證特定技術,並讓較新的山東號累積新興技術的操作經驗。
中國官方新華社報導,遼寧號編隊於10月14日前往西太平洋訓練,稱這是年度例行訓練計畫的一部分,目的是檢驗並提升部隊作戰準備能力。《環球時報》則形容,遼寧號已從「近海探路者」逐步轉型為「遠海利刃」。
日本監測到石垣島以南艦載機起降
遼寧號的活動也受到日本關注。《Defense News》報導,日本防衛省曾在石垣島以南約250公里處觀察到遼寧號艦載機起降。澳洲戰略政策研究所(ASPI)國防戰略計畫高級研究員卡羅塔姆(Colin Karotam)表示,遼寧號編隊在日本專屬經濟區(EEZ)內進行艦載機起降並不常見,但過去可能曾發生。
美日「利劍」(Keen Sword)聯合軍演於10月19日登場。台北的中華戰略暨兵棋研究協會理事長黃介正向《Defense News》表示,遼寧號是中國現役3艘航艦中最老的一艘,若發生突發狀況,未必會是第一線反應兵力。新華社則稱,遼寧號此次活動符合國際法,並非針對任何特定國家或目標。
