China has escalated it's psychological warfare (psych-war) against the United States by inviting US Pilots to view the wreckage of a u-2 spy plane shot down decades ago.The millitary museum of the Chinese people's Revolution released a letter on its Sina Weibo account on Thursday inviting US Pilots to visit the u-2 wreckage displayed in the museum.
The letter came after a US spy plane,the u-2 high altitude reconnaissance plane,intruded China's no fly zone which was established by the northern theatre command of the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) during the live-fire drills on Tuesday,Chinese media reported. "We will tell you that it was a shot down by is us more than half a century ago!"The Beijing based museum wrote in the letter.In the letter,the museum said that the PLA air force fought against the high-altitude reconnaissance operations from the Kuomintang (KMT) side ,which the US supported,Global times reported.
"We were able to lay down the u-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane 58 years ago,and we will surely be able to shoot down any fighters that invade China's territorial airspace",the museum wrote in the letter.
The letter appears inspired by a campaign runby Chinese netizens who reacted to the over fly by the USAF u-2 plane by running an on-line campaign . "You are welcome to visit the u-2 wreckage."Many tagged the weibo account of the US embassy in China and said ,welcome,it's ok if the US wants to provide some new exhibits",after a netizen named shuangjunanshou commented.
"It's time to change to a newer u-2 for the museum another netizen meiyinamiusi said.
China has reportedly used psychological warfare to scare it's opponent.Recently,during the Galwan stand off against India,the PLA frequently released photos and videos of its forces practicing for high altitude warfare using the latest weapons in its inventory.
The regular over flights of the PLA fighter jets and sailing by its warships around Taiwan has become a regular feature of Beijing's policy towards Taipei not to attack The renegade province but to scare it's millitary.
It appears to be trying the same tactics the US whose millitary is vastly superior to the PLA in almost every department of warfighting.But by regular US exercises in China's backyard it appears that this tactic is far from working on its part.The US appears to be steeping up it's psychological warfare against the PLA by holding frequently exercises in the SCS distiputed waters.The exercise involve US aircraft carriers armed with enough aircraft and weapons to sustain several battles against China.The intentions seems to be to get the message of strong arm tactics accross to beinjing a take off of the infamous"gun boat diplomacy,'that Washington has come to be known for.
