of regaining Taiwan?
1: Introduction
The Marine Corps' 05 amphibious assault vehicle and 05 amphibious infantry fighting vehicle are ready to go.
Is it certain that the Eastern Theater Zone will regain Taiwan?
Taiwan has gone further and further on the road of "seeking death", especially after John Aquilino, the new commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, took office, Tsai Ing-wen's authorities have increasingly lost their bottom line. In the final analysis, Tsai Ing-wen has no bottom line. English is just a Taiwan independence politician who knows nothing about the military profession.
Tsai Ing-wen is very confident in the combat effectiveness of Taiwan’s military. She believes that with hundreds of thousands of troops, she can realize her “Taiwan independence dream.” Today we will take a look at the strength of our Eastern Theater Command on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait and whether we are 100% sure of regaining Taiwan. ?

2 The Eastern Theater Command is powerful
The Army in the Eastern Theater Command has been fully mechanized
After the military reform in 2017, our army's army has fully realized mechanization, and part of it has been realized Informatization. Take the Eastern Theater Command as an example. All backward motorized equipment has been eliminated, and all army units in the theater have been mechanized. So what are the mechanized army and the motorized army?
Mechanized troops refer to troops equipped with armored vehicles for fighting and marching, while motorized troops refer to troops that rely on wheeled unprotected vehicles for marching and fighting.
The 04A infantry fighting vehicle equipped by a heavy brigade in the Eastern Theater Command. The infantry fighting vehicle is the main vehicle of the infantry of the combined brigade.
What equipment does mechanized infantry rely on to march and fight?
For example, the infantry of mechanized troops marches and fights mainly on wheeled and tracked vehicles. Infantry fighting vehicles, while motorized infantry mainly use trucks for maneuver and combat. The protection capabilities, mobility capabilities and firepower of infantry fighting vehicles are several levels higher than ordinary trucks.
The Eastern Theater Command has moved from mechanization to informatization and synthesis.
The Army troops in the Eastern Theater Command have completed informatization and synthesis transformation on the basis of mechanization. Let's first take a look at what a synthetic force is. In the past, our army was mainly mechanized and motorized forces. All arms of the army were organized separately. Infantry companies and tank companies were organized separately and were not subordinate to each other.
After the military reform, each synthetic battalion is affiliated with a tank company, a mechanized infantry company, an artillery company, an engineer company , and a support company, and its joint combat capabilities are very strong.
8×8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are mainly equipped with our army's medium-sized synthetic brigade
How to classify synthetic journeys
If equipped with heavy tanks and tracked infantry fighting vehicles, then this unit is a heavy synthetic brigade. If equipped with 8-wheeled chassis If equipped with armored vehicles, then this unit will be a medium-sized combined brigade. If it is equipped with a "Warrior" high-mobility protective assault vehicle, then this unit will be a light combined brigade.
The heavy synthetic brigade is powerful.
The heavy synthetic brigade is equipped with powerful equipment.
The synthetic brigade is equipped with hundreds of tanks, hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles, and artillery equipment of up to 27 122mm self-propelled howitzers and 9 122mm self-propelled rocket launchers.
The 120mm mortar is mainly equipped with our army's synthetic battalion artillery company
Eastern Theater Army synthetic brigade artillery strength
During combat, the infantry company can be supported by the direct-aiming artillery of the tank company and the indirect-aiming artillery of the artillery company. Each artillery company is equipped with up to six 120mm mortars, and the entire brigade is equipped with 24 120mm mortars. As long as the infantry big brother needs fire support, the artillery unit can provide powerful firepower at any time.
A heavy-duty synthetic brigade of the 73rd Group Army in the Eastern Theater Command
A brigade under the 73rd Group Army is a heavy-duty synthetic brigade. The brigade was formerly the main force of the Jiaodong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. In the War of Liberation, it was the 73rd Regiment of the 9th Column and 25th Division of the East China Field Army. In the Battle of Jinan, the 73rd Regiment became the first offensive force to break through Jinan's city defense and was awarded the honorary title of "Jinan First Regiment" with overwhelming combat effectiveness. Now, it has been adapted into a heavy synthetic brigade.
"Jinan First Regiment" is the ace force in the eastern theater
"Jinan First Regiment" has considerable strength
"Jinan First Regiment" tank company is equipped with 96A tanks, mechanized infantry company is equipped with 04A infantry fighting vehicle, and artillery company is equipped with 122mm self-propelled howitzer . The entire brigade's tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and artillery all have strong protection capabilities and mobility capabilities. Hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles can make the big brother of the infantry no longer worry about firepower. The 100 multi-door vehicle-mounted 30mm and 100mm parallel guns are very powerful. It is enough to show the combat capabilities of the heavy combined brigade in the eastern theater.
The Eastern Theater Army has a first-class level
The Eastern Theater Army has multiple heavy-duty combined brigades. In addition, there are also many medium-sized combined brigades and light high-mobility brigades.In order to improve the amphibious landing combat capabilities of this theater, the Eastern Theater Army also has several An amphibious heavy-duty synthetic brigade is mainly responsible for cross-sea landing operations. It can be said that such equipment level is first-class anywhere, not to mention the Taiwan Strait, which is only hundreds of nautical miles wide.

The Air Force Early Warning Aircraft Unit of the Eastern Theater Command
The Air Force of the Eastern Theater Command is a key "fist" force. In order to improve the reconnaissance and early warning capabilities of the Air Force in the Eastern Theater Command, it is the earliest early warning aircraft unit in the entire army. Just in the eastern theater, is equipped with double-digit Air Police 200 and Air Police 500 early warning aircraft.
In many combat operations out of the island chain, the division dispatched multiple early warning aircraft and Y-8 high-tech aircraft to provide airborne early warning and command for troops leaving the island chain.
Eastern theater air force fighter unit
J-16 heavy fighter equipped by Zhao Baotong squadron of a brigade in the eastern theater
Eastern theater aviation hero unit
A certain brigade of the eastern theater aviation is the first unit of the air force to equip the J-16 heavy fighter. The predecessor of the brigade He is the regiment of the famous combat hero Zhao Baotong. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Zhao Baotong shot down and injured 7 American aircraft while piloting a HT2 jet fighter. He was the pilot who shot down and injured the most enemy aircraft in the HT2 Volunteer Army.
After the entire brigade is equipped with J-16 fighter jets, its strength can already crush the F-16V medium-sized fighter jets equipped by the Taiwan Air Force. The J-16 fighter has a very considerable combat radius, can stay in the air for more than 3 hours, and can carry 8,000 kilograms of ammunition to attack the ground and the sea. It has a strong strike capability.
The naval ship unit is equipped with first-class equipment
The destroyer unit of the Eastern Theater Command Navy has completed the modernization and is equipped with a large number of 052C/052D guided missile destroyers. also includes a certain number of 054A frigates. The main operations of these two destroyer units There are two tasks: one is to enter the waters east of Taiwan to perform an interception mission, and the other is to use the "modern-class" guided missile destroyer in the destroyer detachment to provide cover for the landing troops.
What is the equipment level of the East China Sea Fleet frigate detachment?
As the Chinese Navy develops and grows, more 054A frigates will enter the frigate detachment.
The picture shows the East China Sea Fleet 054A guided missile frigate 531 "Xiangtan" ship
The East China Sea Fleet is the three major fleets It has the largest number of frigate detachments. Unlike the other two main navy fleets, the frigate detachment of the East China Sea Fleet has begun to be replaced with the latest 054A guided missile frigates. The main purposes are as follows:
The first is to strengthen the control of the Taiwan Strait in peacetime. After all, the 15th Destroyer Squadron of the US Navy's Seventh Fleet is a "frequent visitor" to the Taiwan Strait, in case something uncontrollable happens. , the 054A guided missile frigate did not suffer at all when facing the U.S. Navy's "Arleigh Burke-class" destroyers.
The second is to cover the landing fleet. The destroyer detachment of the East China Sea Fleet has a very heavy task. The destroyers cannot be used at all in the Taiwan Strait. The task of covering the landing force arriving on the beach falls on the shoulders of the frigate detachment.
The 151 "Zhengzhou Ship" of a destroyer detachment of the East China Sea Fleet hoisted the full flag,
officers and soldiers stood on the slope, and were handed over to the queue.
From here, it can be seen that the destroyers and frigate detachments of the East China Sea Fleet are "over-equipped" and have strong capabilities. In terms of combat effectiveness, the number of frigates equipped by the East China Sea Fleet has exceeded that of the Southeast Asian countries combined, not to mention the mere Taiwan Navy.
The Eastern Theater Command completes its equipment replacement.
In order to contain Taiwanese independence elements, the Eastern Theater Command has a very high proportion of modern equipment. The Navy, Air Force and Army have completed equipment replacement. In the future, more advanced weapons and equipment will be installed in the Eastern Theater Command. Let’s take a look at the weapons and equipment of the Taiwanese military across the Taiwan Strait.
M60A3 main battle tank equipped by Taiwan Army
3 Taiwan Army Equipment Level
Taiwan Army Equipment Level
Due to Taiwan's relatively backward basic industrial level, most countries are unwilling to sell weapons and equipment to the Taiwan authorities. Although, the United States has repeatedly However, the United States is still wary of selling weapons to Taiwan and is afraid of getting into trouble. It only sells weapons and equipment that are close to being obsolete to the Taiwanese army. The overall equipment level of Taiwan's army is still relatively backward.
The M60A3 tank is still the main force of the Taiwan Army.
Take the M60A3 equipped by the Taiwan Army’s Mechanized Infantry Brigade. This is a typical second-generation semi-main battle tank. This type of tank has been in service for more than 30 years. The latest batch of M60A3 tanks was Introduced in 1996, it urgently needs updating.
The frontal armor of this type of tank is only 110mm. The 125mm tail sabot armor-piercing projectile of our 96A tank can penetrate 600mm homogeneous armor. It can be seen from this that the tanks of the Taiwan Army are already "outdated".
Taiwan Air Force Combat Power
This aircraft is the first F-16V fighter equipped by the Taiwan Air Force
The Taiwan Air Force urgently upgraded F-16
Overall, the strength of the Taiwan Air Force is not weak, and it has equipped more than 50 third-generation aircraft. Mirage-2000 fighter jets, more than 150 F-16A/B fighter jets, However, due to the rapid replacement of equipment in the Eastern Theater Command, the third-and-a-half-generation and fourth-generation fighter jets are equipped with troops like "pepper noodles". Taiwan's third-generation fighter jets are already somewhat inadequate. Even if the upgraded F-16V fighter jets of the Taiwan Air Force have been delivered, there is nothing left to do.
APG-83 phased array radar is just a low-end product
F-16V fighter jet. As a medium-sized fighter , the APG-83 phased array radar is just a downgraded version of the APG-81 radar. It cannot be compared with the phased array radar used by the J-16. The eastern bases of the Taiwan Air Force are all within the strike radius of the People's Liberation Army. Whether Taiwan's F-16V can survive such a high-intensity strike is a question.
The "Kidd"-class guided missile destroyer first ship "Kidd" equipped by the Taiwan Navy's 168 fleet
Taiwan's naval strength
The navy can best test the industrial level of a country or region. The weapons and equipment of the Taiwan Navy are the most powerful. The representative weapons and equipment are the four "Kidd-class" guided missile destroyers introduced into the U.S. Navy.
This type of guided missile destroyer is a "tasteless" equipment of the US military. It has no place in the US military's naval ship equipment system. It has been completely replaced by the "Arleigh Burke-class" guided missile destroyer . It has a displacement of 10,000 tons, but no Corresponding strength.
The Kidd-class anti-aircraft missile lags behind
Taiwan claims that the Standard-2 anti-aircraft missile used by the "Kidd-class" guided missile destroyer claims to have a strike radius of 150 kilometers, but it still uses the old MK-26 tilt launch equipment and reloads it. The time is as high as 9-10 seconds, completely lagging behind the vertical launcher used on the 052D guided missile destroyer equipped by our army.
It can be seen from this picture that the vertical missile launcher of our 052D guided missile destroyer located behind the main gun
Kidd-class comparison 052D
052D missile vertical launcher has a firing rate of up to 1 second/shot, which can fully exert the capabilities of the Haihongqi-9B ship-to-air missile. After all, speed is the first requirement for air defense. Taiwan's "Kidd-class" guided missile destroyers can be said to be "defense against nine out of ten air defenses."
5 Conclusion
We have compared the military strength of our army's Eastern Theater Command and that of Taiwan. Whether it is the quality or scale of equipment, they both crush the military of Taiwan. We will not use these weapons on our own flesh and blood compatriots, but Taiwanese independence activists are not among them.
The People's Liberation Army attaches great importance to all-domain combat capabilities, and Yun-20 is the key equipment.
Tsai Ing-wen tried to cling to the lap of the United States' "dad", hoping that the United States would support her and achieve her ulterior political goals, but Tsai Ing-wen ignored this One point is whether the armed forces in Taiwan have the strength to challenge our eastern theater.
Another point should not be ignored. The People's Liberation Army attaches great importance to all-domain combat capabilities. As long as necessary, other theaters can support the eastern theater at any time. Who can Tsai Ing-wen rely on?
