China and Russia Collect Intelligence Near Alaska

The PLAN (China) and Russia complete a 3 week deployment near Alaska with a Dongdiao-class intel ship. The primary role of the Dongdiao-class is to collect electronic and signal intelligence. It is equipped with a suite of antennas and sensors to intercept and analyze electronic emissions from other ships, aircraft, and even land-based assets. Satellite Communication: These ships are equipped with various satellite communication domes, allowing them to relay collected intelligence to Chinese mainland facilities in real-time. Comprehensive Electronic Suite: The numerous raydomes and antennas present on the ship are indicators of its extensive electronic warfare and signal collection capabilities. Autonomous Operations: The Dongdiao-class ships are capable of long-endurance missions and can operate independently for extended periods without the need for constant resupply. Operational Range: With their size and design, these ships can operate far from China’s shores, including in the waters near other major powers, which has sometimes led to concerns and confrontations. Defensive Capabilities: While the primary role of these ships is intelligence gathering, they are also equipped with defensive systems to ward off potential threats, although they are not intended for frontline combat. Support Role: Beyond ISR missions, these ships can serve in a support role for larger naval operations, ensuring that Chinese naval forces have a clear electronic picture of the maritime battlefield. 📫 Contact Gene Dayhaw gene@ for paid promotion. 🏴‍☠️► 😎 Patreon ► 😃 Hire ► Aaron 💌 Contact Aaron ► Aaron@ Aaron’s PC Spec ------------------------ CPU: Intel i9-10850K @ RAM: 64GB GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Accelsior 4M2 PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD sub brief, sme, subject matter expert, naval, policy, technology, tactical use of the ocean, sonar, submarine tactics, weapons employment, aip, air independent power, 21st century, aaron, amick, aaron amick, sonar, sonarman, sme, SME, subject matter expert, naval, games, wargames, testing, tactics, news, history, tactical use of the ocean, hide, find, search, jive turkey, jive, subbrief,
