China’s state broadcaster has aired an unusually detailed look at how the PLA Navy uses electronic warfare to challenge foreign military aircraft operating near Taiwan. The footage shows the Yanan, a Type 055 guided-missile destroyer and one of the most advanced surface combatants in China’s fleet, deploying electronic jamming missiles during an encounter close to the island. Released as part of a CCTV series on China’s expanding naval power, the clip marks the first time the warship has been publicly shown carrying out what the broadcaster called electronic countermeasures in waters near Taiwan.
