According to recent news, PLA military aircraft have conducted at least two large-scale patrols in the southwestern airspace of the Taiwan Strait. One time was on the 26th. Taiwan’s defense department announced that a total of 20 military aircraft of the People’s Liberation Army entered the southwestern airspace of Taiwan for patrol that day. The scale of military aircraft dispatched this time set a new record for 2021.
Another time was on the 29th. Taiwan’s defense department once again released updates on 10 PLA military aircraft entering the airspace southwestern Taiwan. Regarding the normal patrolling of PLA military aircraft in the Taiwan Strait, Taiwanese media said that it has formed a trend of "circulating Taiwan" and "covering Taiwan". Here, our military planes frequently enter and exit the airspace in the southwest of the Taiwan Strait, and over there, Taiwanese military planes keep crashing and causing accidents. A total of 5 air crashes occurred in 2 years, resulting in the destruction of 6 military aircraft, 12 deaths and 2 missing persons. Since September last year, there have been three air crashes, resulting in the damage of four military aircraft, two deaths, and two missing. With such excellent results, the Taiwan Air Force almost became the world champion in plane crashes during this period. Faced with the patrol activities carried out by our military to safeguard national unity and deter Taiwan independence forces, the Taiwan military can be said to be overwhelmed and under great pressure.
According to a Reuters report on the 29th, a senior official of the Taiwan authorities said on Monday that the Taiwan Air Force will no longer make emergency dispatches when the People's Liberation Army military aircraft enter the airspace around Taiwan, but will instead use land-based air defense missiles for tracking and surveillance to help save resources and avoid Falling into the opponent's war of attrition. Regarding the Taiwan authorities' statement, the media's reaction was that the Taiwan military could no longer fly and could only use air defense missile radars to show that it still had certain air defense capabilities.
It should be a fact that the Taiwan military cannot fly anymore. With the current strength of the Taiwan Air Force, if it continues flying like this, most of the fighter jets will be scrapped before long. The F5 fighter jet has been in service for more than 40 years, and the F16 has been in service for 30 years. The Mirage 2000-5, which has also been in service for more than 30 years, has even been grounded due to lack of spare parts. Taiwan’s self-developed IDF fighter jets were also produced in the 1990s. Although there is no shortage of replacement parts, this accident-prone fighter jet was ridiculed by the Taiwan military as “I DON’T FLY”.
Letting these classic aircraft of the Taiwan Air Force compete against the large number of cutting-edge fighters of the People's Liberation Army is not only inadequate, but also timid. Under pressure, crash accidents are more likely to occur. So as you can see, after two Taiwanese F-5E fighter jets collided and crashed on March 22, all Taiwan Air Force aircraft were grounded. In the absence of aircraft, of course the missile's radar can only be used to deal with it. But using anti-aircraft missile radar to monitor fighter jets is a taboo for military strategists.
Why do you say this? Because if you turn on the anti-aircraft missile radar to monitor the opponent's approaching cruising fighters, it will be easy for the opponent to hijack the radar information, thus making your own anti-aircraft missile radar system a living target for the opponent in wartime. . In particular, every time the People's Liberation Army's fighter planes participate in patrols across the Taiwan Strait, there will be electronic warfare aircraft used for electronic intelligence collection. Doesn't the Taiwan Army's doing so give both hands the intelligence the People's Liberation Army needs? It is a disguised patriotic action to promote the reunification of the motherland. In particular, the "Changbai" phased array radar used by the Taiwan Army's "Tiangong" series of air defense missile systems can basically only be deployed in fixed positions. As long as it is turned on during the PLA military aircraft patrolling the Taiwan Strait, it will not only leak its own electronic parameter information , even the launch positions of anti-aircraft missiles were exposed.
Some netizens may say, wouldn’t it be enough for the Taiwan military to switch to radars with movable deployable air defense missiles? The Taiwan military does have some movable deployable air defense missiles. The more advanced ones are that Taiwan’s military will produce them themselves. The "Bee Eye Radar" of the "Avenger Air Defense System". Although this kind of radar is installed on a truck and can be deployed on the move, as an anti-aircraft missile radar with only point air defense capabilities, it can only detect low-altitude targets within 40 kilometers. Facing the PLA's battle cruiser Eagle, it still cannot It is "cannot be seen, cannot be locked, and cannot be stopped." Therefore, in summary, the Taiwan military can only wait and watch in the face of the large-scale aircraft fleet of the People's Liberation Army's Taiwan Strait combat patrol.Rather than struggling like this, it is better to recognize the general trend and return to the embrace of the motherland as soon as possible, so that the children on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can share the glory of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. How wonderful! That’s all for today’s topic. If you like it, please pay more attention.
