Yesterday’s Taiwan military plane crash made people very confused. Originally, the pilot had successfully parachuted and was rescued, but the Taiwan authorities and the military remained tight-lipped about the cause of the accident. Initially, some green media on the island immediately blamed the mainland after the accident, saying that the plane was involved in the accident. Before the crash, it made an emergency launch to "intercept a mainland military aircraft." Later, the Taiwan military refuted the rumors. However, some experts on the island analyzed and compiled some doubtful evidence, suggesting that the Taiwan military's crash was related to "eviction". "The People's Liberation Army military aircraft are related, and the mainland needs to be responsible for this.
According to China Times News on March 15, Zhang Jing, a researcher at the Taiwanese think tank "China Strategic Society", posted today: On March 14, an "unidentified aircraft" entered the "Kaohsiung Terminal Controlled Airspace", and At that time, Kaohsiung air traffic control shouted to drive away the aircraft; he also claimed that the ADS-B signal could not identify the "unidentified aircraft" and it might be a drone. If so, then there was not a ship on the water cooperating with the operation. There is another article underwater.
According to American standards, the so-called "Terminal Control Area" refers to the airspace within a radius of 65 kilometers centered on Kaohsiung Airport. According to this statement, it means that an "unidentified" aircraft may It is close to less than 100 kilometers away from Tainan and Kaohsiung.
However, this aircraft was not reported in the "Mainland Army Aircraft Updates" released by the Taiwanese authorities' "Ministry of Defense" on a daily basis yesterday. Some evidence shows that until the civil air traffic control of Kaohsiung Airport shouted to expel it, it seemed that this "unidentified aircraft" There were no Taiwanese fighter jets that were being tracked and monitored, and other than that there was no very detailed information.
It is definitely impossible to say that the Taiwan military has not discovered it. Taiwan Island is also an area with very dense air sensors. Except for fifth-generation aircraft with stealth capabilities, no matter what kind of aircraft it is, if it is close to about 50 kilometers Even at such a distance, they will definitely be discovered. What exactly is the Taiwan military hiding? It's still unknown.
After the crash of the Mirage fighter yesterday, the Taiwan military ordered the grounding of all Mirage-2000 fighter jets, and insisted on denying that the accident was related to the military activities of mainland army aircraft in the Taiwan Strait; according to the news released by the Taiwan military, in Yesterday, a total of 13 PLA military aircraft entered the "air defense identification zone" in Taiwan's southwest airspace in three batches. When the Taiwan military plane crashed, there were indeed PLA military aircraft operating in Taiwan waters.
This can be regarded as the daily activity area of the People's Liberation Army, but the location where the Taiwanese military plane crashed is on the coast of Taitung, which is completely different from the People's Liberation Army's activity area. However, a few minutes after the crash of the Taiwanese military aircraft, when the People's Liberation Army military aircraft approached the surrounding area, The Taiwan Army's ground command center, which was supposed to broadcast the message to drive away the PLA military aircraft, lost its voice, and the Kaohsiung Air Traffic Control Tower of the Taiwan Civil Aviation Administration took over the air security work.
Afterwards, the reporter asked an officer of the 7th Wing of the Taiwan Air Force to which the crashed military aircraft belonged. When asked about the cause of the crash, he received the answer that "the crashed fighter aircraft participated in the mission of expelling the PLA military aircraft"; this shows that the Taiwan military seems to have experienced some chaos. And currently, a lot of the news is getting darker and darker, and there are rumors everywhere.
The Taiwanese fighter jet that crashed this time belongs to the 7th Wing of the Taiwan Air Force, and is stationed at the "Zhihang Base" on the coast of Taitung. This wing is not actually a pure combat wing, but undertakes a considerable part of the training tasks. Yes, Zhihang Base is also an important training base for the Taiwan military.
Under normal circumstances, the Taiwanese military fighter jets that are responsible for taking off to monitor mainland army aircraft are all units affiliated with Chiayi and Hsinchu . These are the units on the west coast of Taiwan. After they take off, they usually follow the People's Liberation Army military aircraft from southwestern Taiwan. The airspace flew all the way to the southeast airspace, and landed at Zhihang Base after the PLA military aircraft left. However, it was absolutely not said that it took off from Zhihang Base to intercept. Therefore, in fact, various news sources on the island are currently seriously contradictory.
In my opinion, the more likely reason is that Taiwan itself is more likely to crash. However, this "accident" was not a low-level mistake on their part, but a "forced" accident. Although at the beginning of the accident, everyone on the island The source claimed that "the crashed fighter jet belonged to the 7th Wing of the Taiwan Army." However, according to some information disclosed so far, this may be false news. In fact, the crashed fighter jet belonged to the 2nd Wing of the Taiwan Army, which is located at Hsinchu Air Force Base. It also undertakes the daily task of guarding PLA military aircraft over the Taiwan Strait.
Two Mirage 2000s did take off from the Hsinchu base on the morning of the 14th. They were probably taking off to track and monitor PLA fighter planes that day. Considering that the pilot who successfully parachuted out and escaped with a rank of lieutenant colonel, it means that he was a relatively senior pilot. , it is unlikely that the plane was dropped due to a low-level mistake, and the fact that it took off from the Hsinchu base and landed at the Zhihang base shows that they participated in the long-term tracking and monitoring of the People's Liberation Army fighter aircraft, but due to some reasons that are not yet clear, they returned. crashed during this period.
As for what exactly the Taiwan military and Taiwan authorities are covering up now? We don’t know this, but it must be an embarrassing thing that is difficult to talk about. They don’t want the truth to be revealed to dampen the people’s enthusiasm for “rejecting reunification by force.”
