flyboys over south china sea

What would you do when fast moving targets suddenly appear on your radar and mess your civilian traffic? Approximately 10 targets with varying altitudes from 15,000ft to 34,000ft...they appeared to have departed from an aircraft carrier operating on international waters...negative radio contact nor prior coordination with the appropriate ATC facility.

At one instance I had to veer my civilian traffic to the right coz i noticed a target at his 9 o'clock climbing to and maintained the same altitude as my civilian traffic's (FL340).

Would you rely on the idea that these carriers have advance surveillance system and they have onboard radar and military atc overseeing the whole operation?
