Well, ADM Yoji Koda was JMSDF's CiC from 2007 till 2008. Any info coming from his mouth or hand >>>>> than any of your post or muppets from all the other forums in the Internet (including Chinese).
I don't doubt he has the influence to ask for the latest info from JMSDF HQ. What I doubt is the JMSDF having even an inkling of intel on what the PLAN is thinking. Yoji cannot know what the PLAN is thinking because the entirety of Japan, which isn't much TBH since you guys are so 小, doesn't know.
In all likelihood, the PLAN commanders are laughing their asses off at the JMSDF revealing the frequencies and capabilities of their bow sonars, towed sonars, dipping sonar, sonobuoys and MAD, and in disbelief at how much crucial wartime intel 小 nippon is willing to expose for a 小 publicity "victory."
It's a fact that it was aimed to humiliate PLAN and winning without having resorting to swords. Japanese are smart enough to do that all the time in the recent years, let it be PLAN or Chinese Coastguard. What happened there was true, there's not much to add after reading what was written in the newspapers.
I like how you think the dispatch of two vessels in the PLAN inventory with the latest and best PASSIVE sonar arrays -- hint: they LISTEN to acoustic signals -- makes you think little Nippon "won." No, genius, they just lost the edge in ASW confrontations because now the PLAN knows what the best JMSDF capabilities are while the JMSDF, in return, got the acoustic signature of a not-so-impressive sub that may or may not have been intentionally inflating its acoustic signature.
Everyone has got his own head. But if someone is trying to show that as 'typical Japanese' (yeah, they sent Chinese submarine near Senkakus, sure) or trying hard to find any reason for Chinese doing that if they thought they will be emberassed from the start using some sort of twisted logic is not worth reading. Period.
That's precious coming from a 小國 known for sick and twisted cultural phenomena so renowned that "
" is now a meme.
And it is very typical of your kind, the 小 people from a 小 country with a 大 psychological complex, to desperately try to find every and any theory possible to claim a "victory." *
Reveals capabilities of entire sonar inventory* "Nah bro, we won cos we detected a submarine that was known to be pretty loud. Allowing them to gather an astronomical amount of ELINT doesn't really matter cos we got to shittalk them to the media."
However, I know you must be upset that at the end of the day, you're on a leash held by a country on the other side of the world, the one that reduced the number of Japanese cities from 'x' to 'x - 2.' THAT'S how 小 you are; you're on a leash. You know what else is leashed?
