路透社根据卫星图像报道,中国在南海西沙群岛羚羊礁附近的鸭公岛上新建疑似军事设施 1。商业卫星影像供应商Vantor提供的图像显示,鸭公岛上出现了一座三叉形的新建筑 1。新加坡安全事务学者许瑞麟推断,该设施最可能是早期预警雷达站,旨在为羚羊礁更大规模的军事基地建设做准备 1。
相关建设工程于3、4月份开始,Vantor称最新的卫星图像拍摄于本月17日 1。鸭公岛位于羚羊礁东北方14公里处,两者均属于西沙群岛西侧的永乐环礁 1。此外,羚羊礁已形成近6公里长的人工岛,并拥有超过3公里长的笔直海岸线,可能作为跑道使用,凸显了南海军事化态势的升高 1。
According to a Reuters report based on satellite imagery, China has constructed suspected military facilities on Yagong Island near Antelope Reef in the Paracel Islands of the South China Sea 1. The latest images, captured on the 17th of this month by commercial satellite imagery provider Vantor, reveal a new trident-shaped structure on Yagong Island 1. Construction on the project began in March and April 1. Yagong Island is located 14 kilometers northeast of Antelope Reef, and both features are part of the Yongle Atoll on the western side of the Paracel Islands 1.
Analysts suggest that the new structures could serve as early warning radar facilities, paving the way for a larger-scale military base on Antelope Reef 1. Singaporean security affairs scholar Xu Ruilin inferred that the facility is most likely a radar station 1. Meanwhile, Antelope Reef has been developed into an artificial island stretching nearly 6 kilometers in length, featuring a straight coastline of over 3 kilometers 1. This extensive artificial island could potentially be used as a runway, highlighting the escalating militarization in the South China Sea 1.
