Taiwan navy exercise | PLA warships approach combat, Taiwan army has little action, and the eastern territorial waters are under control

On the second day of the People's Liberation Army's "Island Closure Military Exercise" against Taiwan and Taiwan, the People's Liberation Army released an absolutely shocking live photo for military fans.


On the second day of the People's Liberation Army's "Island Closing Military Exercise" against Taiwan and Taiwan, the People's Liberation Army released a live photo that was absolutely shocking to military fans. The PLA 052 Nanjing ship entered Taiwan's waters historically, and approached the island of Taiwan for military detection and drills. .

According to the photos released by the mainland military, the camera is close to the PLA ship 052 Nanjing, and a PLA soldier wearing naval camouflage is holding a telescope, standing on the deck to observe Taiwan's main island and the Taiwanese warship not far away.

In the distance of the camera is the Central Mountains of Taiwan. From the distance, the PLA warship must have entered Taiwan within 12 nautical miles, or even closer (some institutions believe that it is only about 6 nautical miles according to satellite image analysis), and it is as close as the white building at the foot of Liantai Island. Everything can be seen.

The People's Liberation Army launched a three-day "encircling Taiwan" military exercise from 12:00 on August 4.

Military experts on both sides of the Taiwan Strait believe that this distance means that Taiwan's maritime combat depth has been wiped out. Using the analogy of "cutting sausages" means that the casings of Taiwan's sausages have been stripped. It can directly attack the target on the shore.

If a helicopter gunship takes off from a ship, it can strike beachhead targets after takeoff.

Between the PLA warship and the Central Mountain Range is the Taiwan Navy's Jiyang-class No. 935 Lanyang Ship. From the photos, the visual distance should be within 1,000 meters.

The Lanyang ship is the original Knox-class frigate of the US military. The ship is 51 years old and sold to Taiwan in 1995.

From the photos, the hull has been rusted.

When the Knox-class frigate was commissioned in the United States in 1971, the Cultural Revolution in the mainland had not yet ended, and Taiwan was still under the governance of Chiang Kai-shek. Now, after the rapid development of the mainland for 40 years of reform and opening up, the navy ships do not know how many generations have been updated. Now, the naval power is far from what it used to be, and Taiwan still uses second-hand antiques bought from the United States 30 years ago.

It really makes people sigh!

After sending Pelosi away, Tsai Ing-wen was expected to receive such a "gift" from the People's Liberation Army.

In fact, long before Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, general analysis tended to believe that if Pelosi lands in Taiwan, there may not be a direct conflict between China and the United States, which is not an option.

After all, reunification of the two sides of the strait is the main contradiction in the Taiwan issue, and reunification and independence are the main contradiction between the two sides of the strait.

Therefore, we will definitely seize the Tsai Ing-wen government and let them learn the lesson and know the consequences.

Judging from the PLA's exercises in the past few days, it is probably developing in this direction.

Once approaching drills are carried out on a regular basis, the People's Liberation Army will drive warships to such a distance from Taiwan from time to time. The Taiwan army will have no peace, and Tsai Ing-wen will have no peace!

Tsai Ing-wen's escape route at sea was cut off

In fact, there is another place in this photo that makes Tsai Ing-wen even more anxious, which is the sea area where it appears.

Judging from the central mountain range and sea foot buildings in the photo, some military experts have analyzed that this place should be in the Pacific waters east of Taiwan, close to the open sea near Hualien and Suao, just stuck between Taiwan and Yonaguni Island, which is the closest to Taiwan. .

From the photos, it is obvious that the People's Liberation Army is approaching and fighting, and the Taiwanese army is almost moving.

The route from Hualien or Suao to Yonaguni Island via this sea area is the lifeline for the escape of senior generals of the Taiwan government and military after the outbreak of the war.

Suao is a naval port and Hualien is an air base.

Because it faces the Pacific Ocean, is closest to Japan, and has many mountains, according to the plan since the Chiang Kai-shek era, these two places have always been the places where Taiwan saved its combat power and made the final counterattack during the war. The place of escape, especially Hualien, is said to be the Hualien base of the Taiwan Army built in the hollowed-out mountain.

This assumption is based on the consideration that if a conflict breaks out between the two sides of the Strait, the People's Liberation Army will land in the direction of the western Taiwan Strait.

At that time, the navy and air force of the PLA was still very backward, unable to bypass the island of Taiwan and launch an attack or landing operation on Taiwan from the eastern direction of Taiwan. Due to the curvature of the general missile, it was impossible to effectively strike the plane hidden in the cave in Hualien, and it was difficult. Intercepted and attacked Taiwanese warships leaving from Suao.

But now, with the advent of cruise missiles, the so-called "curvature" problem no longer exists. More importantly, the PLA Navy and Air Force have the ability to launch attacks or landing operations on the island of Taiwan from the east of Taiwan. The geographical location of Hualien and Suao The advantage no longer exists, and there are no dead spots around Taiwan.

The "island-locking tactics" adopted by the PLA in this exercise reflects this. From the distribution of the six exercise areas, if there is a war between the two sides of the strait, it would be bigger, even if Tsai Ing-wen wants to go from Hualien or Suao in the east to Yonaguni Island in Japan. Escape, I'm afraid I can't run away, this route has been cut off by the People's Liberation Army.

The national army has hardly moved, exposing the backward military conditions

In fact, on the eve of the PLA's military exercise around the island, a senior Taiwanese military officer pointed out in an interview with the Central News Agency that once the PLA exercise enters Taiwan's territorial waters, there is absolutely no room for concessions, and described this as a very serious situation. If their soldiers even protect this If not, it will lose the military value.

Taiwan's "Ministry of Defense" has also repeatedly responded that it adheres to the principle of "preparing for war without seeking war, and never avoiding war in response to war".

But from the actual situation, the Taiwan military is almost silent.

Taiwan's "Ministry of Defense" claims to have launched the "Patriot III" anti-missile and missile defense system, and used air reconnaissance patrol forces, naval ships, and shore-based missiles to adapt to the situation.

Regarding the frequent activities of the People's Liberation Army, it is judged that it is a simulated exercise to attack the island of Taiwan, and the defense response is "preparing for war without seeking war".

The Army Kinmen Defense Command selected 11 days from August 4 to 31 to conduct artillery shooting exercises; the Army Matsu Defense Command and the Army Dongyin Regional Command conducted the "Loyalty Exercise" in Dongyin on August 5 and 6 ”, to conduct night-time live-fire training; Army Penghu Defense Command mixed artillery battalion, mechanized infantry battalion, tank battalion and armored cavalry battalion to conduct “Zhenjiang Exercise” in Wude area from August 24th and 25th, simulating island defense operations .

However, even the Taiwanese media hardly reported on the implementation, and were completely "attracted" by the firepower of the People's Liberation Army.

In addition, on August 5, it was reported that the Army conducted a night shooting drill and fired tracer rounds on Dongyin Island, which was suspected to have caused the mountain fire accident. Although it was later declared to be irrelevant, it still announced the suspension of the exercise.

In this way, the military strength of both sides is clear at a glance.

Taiwan's military is completely passive and powerless.

From this point of view, the PLA's approach to combat is obvious. The key is that the Taiwan military did not take any action at all, and it exposed the backwardness of its military conditions. It seems that it can only be a "turtle in a urn" in the face of war. How to do what the generals of the Taiwan army said "Once the PLA exercises enter Taiwan's territorial waters, there is absolutely no room for concessions"?

.

The answer speaks for itself.

I was excited to receive Pelosi and got such a result, is it worth it for Taiwan?

"She is China's beautiful dream" Trump again accused Pelosi of visiting Taiwan, saying she gave Beijing an excuse. CNN pointed out that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan was a "real achievement". Taiwan Island coastline exposure experts: or unprecedented
