[ Global Network Comprehensive Reporter Zhao Youping] The island's green media "Liberty Times" hyped on the 26th that the Mainland People's Liberation Army frequently sent military aircraft to "disrupt" Taiwan's southwest and southeast airspace. Last year, the number was as high as 961 In addition to increasing the pressure on the combat readiness of the Taiwan Air Force's aircraft units, radar stations, and missile sites, the Taiwan Air Force's fighter aircraft frequently dispatch "interception and monitoring" aircraft, which greatly increases the maintenance requirements and funds for fighter aircraft parts and accessories. Taiwan's defense department An application has been made to use the reserve fund of NT$710 million.

According to Taiwan's "Liberty Times" report, Taiwan's military officials claimed on the 26th that tasks such as intercepting and monitoring "common aircraft" are mainly based on IDF fighters and F-16 fighters , supplemented by "Phantom" fighters. Therefore, IDF fighters The maintenance demand for F-16 fighter jets throughout last year greatly exceeded the annual budget. Taiwan's defense department has applied for the use of the first reserve fund of NT$710 million, and it has been approved by the "General Accounting Office of the Executive Yuan" Filing. The

report quoted statistics from the "Taiwan Southwest Airspace" Facebook page , which has long tracked the dynamics of "common aircraft", claiming that the total number of military aircraft "intruding" in the "airspace" outside Taiwan in 2021 was as high as 961, which was 380 in 2020. 2.5 times.

Regarding the Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ frequent hyping of the so-called “mainland threat”, they claimed that since 2021, more than 940 mainland army aircraft have entered Taiwan’s “airspace”, which is twice the number in 2019 and 2020 combined. On the afternoon of December 30, 2021, the Ministry of National Defense News Colonel Tan Kefei, deputy director of the Bureau and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, once stated at a regular press conference that the root cause of the current escalation of tensions in the Taiwan Strait lies in the "independence" provocations of the DPP authorities and "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and the "independence" provocations of external forces. The plan is to use Taiwan to control China.

Tan Kefei said that it is the duty of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to defend national sovereignty and security and curb separatist activities for "Taiwan independence." Since 2021, the People's Liberation Army has regularly organized bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, and fighter jets to carry out patrols around Taiwan, regularly organized joint combat readiness patrols of multiple services and arms near Taiwan, and regularly organized patrols in the sea and airspace near Taiwan. In actual combat exercises such as joint sea assault, joint land strike, and joint air defense operations, the actual number of aircraft dispatched will only be more, not less, than the number hyped by the DPP authorities. The goal is very clear, that is, to fight back with decisive actions both inside and outside the island. Forces frequently collude with and challenge the one-China principle, resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and effectively safeguard the common welfare of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region.
