After India Questions ‘Real Purpose’, Sri Lanka Asks China to ‘Defer’ Spy Ship Yuan Wang 5’s Arrival

Sri Lanka has asked China to postpone the arrival of the Yuan Wang 5 eye ships after India expressed concern for the “real destination” of shipping.

Yuan Wang 5 is a double spy vessel, which is used for tracking space and satellites and with specific use in the launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles. This is a third generation tracking ship from the Yuan Wang Series, which began operating on September 29, 2007, and was designed by 708 Research Institutes of China.

This is a very sophisticated missile instrumentation ship with top-of-the-line antenna and electronic equipment to support the launch and tracking of missiles and rockets.

The ship in question should come to the Hambantota Port on August 11 and live there until August 17. Sri Lanka has received fuel demand and other supplies during his stay.

In accordance with the available intelligence, after this stay, Yuan Wang 5 will move to the Indian Ocean for other research such as space tracking and monitoring of satellite operations.

In a letter accessed by CNN-NEWS18, the Sri Lanka authority has requested a delay in the arrival of the ship “to further consultation”.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka took advantage of this opportunity to renew to the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Colombo, the highest consideration guarantee,” he added.

Sources in the Indian government have welcomed Sri Lanka’s move and said China must respect the sovereignty of other countries.

CNN-NEWS18 previously reported that there was a strong possibility that the ship could be equipped with high-tech eoperation equipment to peek far into India.

The Indian Navy base on the east coast and the ISRO launch station in Chandipur is all vulnerable in front of ships like that, they added.

According to sources, China has arranged the time of this activity to exploit Sri Lanka’s economic crisis to ensure that the Lanka ports become Chinese Navy bases that can be used later by PLA. The shameful Chinese at this time to spy in Indian, they added.
