尖閣:你跟我,我拔槍(1/4)
【Comment】
Japan Minister of Defense Onodera held a special press conference on February
5th. He made it clear that PLA Navy cruiser
aimed at a JADF escort vessel and a helicopter with weapon-controlled radar respectively
on 19th and 30 January. They were
provocative, Onodera concluded.
No doubt, during the two week for verification, Japan must have also made
diplomatic preparations.
At 19:02 Onodera made the incidents public, immediately after the diplomatic
exchanges of messages from the Supervisor of the First Mongolian Division of
Chinese MOFA to the Counselor of Japanese Embassy on Beijing at 17:30, and from
the Deputy Envoy of Japanese Embassy on Beijing to the Director-General of the
Department of Asia of Chinese MOFA at 18:20.
The Japanese government discreetly followed diplomatic rules before publicly
raising the dispute.
Seeing the fact that Chinese authorities and media vigorously fermented nationalist
fever among their citizens and newsreaders last September, can or will the PLA
General Staff Department control personal behavior of its subordinates? Will PLA take responsibility, if any?
Once the weapon-controlled radar was applied, the counterpart would certainly detect
the related parameters, which was very disadvantageous to PLA Navy. Political consideration must have been made
prior to the military action.
One more thing has to be noted. The
incidents happened respectively before and after the cool-down trip of Yamaguchi,
Japanese Envoy sent by Japanese Prime Minister Abe for the situation of the
Senkakus from January 21 to 25 --- apparently the exercise of the “coercive
diplomacy”[1]
that Chuck Hagel, Dennis B. Ross and
other US national security member stressed.
Disturbingly,
without any institutional mechanism between the two sides to solve or cool down
the disputes, any sparkle might be escalated to a much larger armed conflict.
As expected, the hawkish Global Times wrote that the incidents were nothing but
“a fair treat,” for the tailing of JSDF behind Chinese government vessels with
EP-3 when they were cruising through the Senkakus waters. The Global Time "ensured" that the
similar incidents would happen again and again.
We have heard the story from Japan, and now we are waiting to hear the Chinese
scenario, not comments. revised at 2230
日本指稱的是解放軍海軍「巡防艦」,中國外交部卻只承認「公務船」。日本指稱以「射控雷達」瞄準,中國則是「執法」。19日為江凱I級(526、溫州)號 vs. 海自的(103、大波號おおなみ)。30日為江衛II級(522)連雲港號 vs. 海自的(103、夕立號ゆうだち)。這是在5日17時半中國外交部蒙古第一課長給日本著中大使館參事,與18時20分的日本駐中大使館副公使給中國外交部亞洲司長的兩場外交推手後,後由防衛大臣在晚間7時親自召開的臨時記者會中發佈的消息。
中國軍艦嚴重挑釁 「雷達瞄準」日艦◎自由(2013.02.06)
http://www.libertytimes.com.tw/2013/new/feb/6/today-int6.htm#
〔編譯林翠儀/綜合報導〕日本防衛相小野寺五典五日晚間證實,上月十九日及三十日中國海軍船艦,兩度在釣魚台海域附近以雷達瞄準威嚇日本自衛隊的護衛艦和艦載直升機。對於這種極度挑釁的行為,日本已於五日向中國提出強烈抗議,小野寺表示,只要稍有差池就會演變成非常危險的狀態。而中國外交部發言人華春瑩,在五日例行記者會上並未正面回應日方抗議雷達瞄準一事,僅強調中國公務船巡航執法有據。
中艦使用射控系統雷達
由於中國巡防艦用來瞄準日艦的雷達,就是一般稱為「射控系統」的雷達,也就是武器自動實施瞄準與發射的裝備。日媒報導指出,這是日中兩國爆發釣魚台紛爭之後,中國軍艦第一次以射擊為前提將雷達瞄準自衛隊艦艇,這種威嚇的行為極具挑釁,稍有閃失可能引發兩軍火併。
日本朝日新聞報導,中國的一艘巡防艦上月三十日航行於釣魚台海域時,以雷達瞄準日本海上自衛隊的護衛艦「夕立號」,當時兩艦距離約三公里。而同樣的情形似也發生在上月十九日,一艘中國巡防艦以雷達瞄準海上自衛隊護衛艦「大波號」上搭載的直升機,當時這架艦載直升機正在距離「大波號」數公里內飛行,由於直升機對雷達瞄準的感應並不靈敏,數據分析檢證較花時間,至於三十日「夕立號」遭雷達瞄準,則是當場就能判斷,防衛省五日才公佈這兩件事。
不過,小野寺五日召開緊急記者會時,僅表示發生地點位於東海的公海上,並未說明與釣魚台的關係位置。據BBC中文網報導,小野寺召開記者會時神情緊張,對記者追問中方意圖表示「不知道」,僅不斷重申中方此舉讓事態處於「千鈞一髮」的危險狀態。
曾任日駐中國大使館武官的小原凡司表示,開啟射控雷達照射對方等於昭告對方可以向其發動攻擊,是一種極為危險的行為;但中方此舉是否因為自衛隊護衛艦的某些跡象讓中方認為是一種危險行為,或是根本就是純粹的挑釁,有必要冷靜地進行分析,畢竟日中雙方對何種舉動屬於危險行為缺乏相互瞭解。
NHK報導,軍艦上一般搭載三種雷達,射控雷達在非戰爭狀態時一般不使用,顯示中國軍艦使用射控雷達屬於非常措施。小野寺在記者會前和首相安倍晉三研商對策,安倍指示防衛省必須採取「萬無一失」措施對應,並向中方抗議。
