Recently the Liaoning fleet is conducting exercises in the waters east of Taiwan Island. From May 6 to 8, the Eastern Theater Command also organized naval and air forces to conduct actual military exercises in the waters east and southwest of Taiwan Island . This has attracted the attention of the United States, Japan and other countries. has attracted great attention and also made the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island panic. Every time the People's Liberation Army exercises in the Taiwan Strait, the Taiwan authorities will react tit for tat, and this time is no exception.
According to media reports on the island, on May 10, Taiwan's " Zhongshan Institute of Science " announced that it would conduct a three-day artillery test launch in the southeastern waters of Taiwan Island. The longest range reached 200 kilometers and the maximum ballistic height was 25,000 feet. To describe this behavior of the Taiwan authorities in one sentence, it is to "embolden yourself."
The People's Liberation Army dispatched a large and modern aircraft carrier formation, which is enough to compete with the US aircraft carrier formation, while the Taiwan authorities tested artillery with a range of 200 kilometers. What is the concept of 200 kilometers? The width of the Taiwan Strait is about 400 kilometers. This batch of artillery can only pose a threat to the People's Liberation Army if it is deployed in Penghu in the middle of the Taiwan Strait.
But this is only a "possibility". Artillery with a range of 200 kilometers is completely worthless in front of the firepower of the mainland. The Guardian 2D long-range rocket launcher currently exported by the People's Liberation Army to other countries has a range of 480 kilometers, and the self-use version will only be more advanced. Some people in the Taiwan authorities can be said to be quite creative in using long-range artillery, the PLA's best weapon, to embolden themselves.
In recent years, the Taiwan authorities have made more and more jokes. For example, they once clamored to use Hsiung Feng missiles to "attack" the Three Gorges Dam, and used the more than 600-ton Tuojiang-class frigate to "hunt" the 70,000-ton Liaoning ship , it is commonplace to slander, belittle and slander the mainland's military strength. The reason behind it is that they are increasingly guilty.
In fact, the Taiwan authorities are dealing with all kinds of weapons and equipment. At the same time, they have a long-term confrontation with the People's Liberation Army across the Taiwan Strait. When the People's Liberation Army goes to sea for training, they will act as photographers. How could they not understand the gap in military power between the two sides? However, their long-standing concept of "Taiwan independence" and their wishful thinking about the United States' aid have caused them to lose their normal ability to judge.
attempts to use one or two weapons to save his fate of defeat. This state is very pitiful and deplorable. In recent years, the People's Liberation Army has greatly improved its strength and conducted various forms of non-stop patrols on the island of Taiwan. Every training and cruise has a track to follow, but it is a mental blow to the Taiwan authorities again and again.
There is only one factor why they have been able to survive until now, and that is their hope in American assistance. Desperados are the most appropriate term to describe the "Taiwan independence" elements. Their only hope is that the United States will not abandon them at this critical moment. But does the United States really have such willingness and ability?
The United States has 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, but according to common sense in modern warfare, it is impossible for all of these aircraft carrier formations to be dragged to the Western Pacific for a decisive battle with the People's Liberation Army. At the same time, the actual combat experience of the U.S. aircraft carrier formations was gained in wars against small countries such as Iraq, Syria, and Iran. However, they have never encountered an opponent of this level of the People's Liberation Army. Pass.
In the Western Pacific, the US aircraft carrier fleet will encounter the increasingly powerful Chinese aircraft carrier fleet, and will also encounter the threat of China's land-based anti-ship missiles. In the past 20 years, when the Chinese navy was relatively weak, it pushed the U.S. Navy out of the first island chain. As time goes by, if the U.S. Navy really comes to interfere in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, it will not be It's so easy to "push away".
Therefore, it can be said that since the beginning of the 21st century, everything the Taiwan authorities have done has been in vain. The more weapons they buy and the more intensive the training, the greater the harm to the Taiwanese people, because those weapons and equipment are piled up with the hard-earned money of ordinary people.For the sake of the completely unreliable promise of the United States, these people in the Taiwan authorities will eventually be cast aside by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, regardless of the vital interests of more than 20 million people in Taiwan.
