in my opinion they want to test guidance warhead in real conditions, they want to be sure to hit the carrier wich is moving and not some other escorting ship.

That is part of it.

But since you already have a moving aircraft carrier target, why not also use it for aircraft to practice:

1. locating moving ship formations
2. conducting simulated anti-ship strikes

Wait, are we talking about the same Harry 'r/hapas' 'why don't i wear an imperial japanese 30s style moustache in Korea' Harris?
That guy?!!!

It's like his japanese ancestors in his blood are screaming at him to start a war between the americans and Chinese.
But
Was this before or after trump was elected? Kudos to trump if he actually pulled the world back from ww3 though it's not saying much that he allowed instigators of ww3 to be promoted to SECSTATE.

My mental image of Harris has always been without the moustache, I think he looks much better that way.

The incident happened in July 2016, so before Trump got elected, here's someone's video regarding it:

And to keep it on topic for the thread, note he specifically showed an excerpt from CCTV documentary shown at the end of 2016 about PLARF where it was said that that year PLARF acted in coordination with PLAN and "around 10 of latest Dongfeng missiles readied for launch" in order to stand up to a certain powerful country. There aren't many country on this planet with a navy that would require 10 AShBM to handle.

From Henri K blog
You even miss a lot of things when you don't go yourself ... Its name: Integrated electronic OPFOR system on the ground (陆上 体系 化 综合 电子 蓝军 系统). It simulates the optro-electromagnetic signals of moving ships, including aircraft carrier

I think it can also do some EW tricks to fool the Red. Usually the Blue is more powerful than the Red, Even including some alien techs

Without a doubt, Beijing is expending significant effort into fine-tuning the effectiveness and reliability of these and other naval warfare capabilities, which is bad news for the U.S. Navy and its allies.

Apparently the model for this was displayed at Zhuhai but no one paid any attention to it.

One downside to this approach is that the tracks are fixed and there is a limited degree of evasive maneuvers the targets could perform. I wonder if there is a quick and dirty fix for this.
It was! I remember seeing it in a few pictures, and there was some speculation that it was maybe a concept for a drone carrier or something. There was some confusion over it, lol.

I heard back in the 2016 stand off at SCS the world came this close to WW3 when Harris told his captains that they may fire upon PLAN if necessary. at least one captain thought he better double check this and phoned up the chain of command all the way to White House and was told to stand down. At the same time PLAN revealed a photo of H-6K patrolling near the location of the US carriers and so the CSGs pulled back and Harris was recalled and demoted to desk job and became US Ambassador to South Korea.

During that incident PLAN concentrated the key elements of all three fleets (over 100 warships) into SCS, commanded by four admirals in person. PLARF had DF-21D deployed into forward launch positions and TELs erected ready to launch at a moment's notice. It was that tense.

What was the trigger ? interesting that it was during Obama adm
