According to the Global Times on January 19, the main warship of the "Taiwan Army" "Kangding" class frigate "Xining" deviated from the channel when it left the port from the Zuoying Military Camp of the "home port". As a result, the ship propeller touched the shallow stall, causing the propeller to be interrupted on the spot and temporarily lost its combat readiness. As the ship's power system is imported from France, Taiwan may need to seek help from France.
The frigate was stranded at the doorstep of her home, and it was embarrassing to say this. Netizens started the group ridicule mode: "Do it intentionally? In order to find an excuse to buy a new and more powerful warship", "It's a self-harm for fear of war"... These comments are not very harmful and insulting.
In fact, this is not the first time the Taiwan military has made a fool of themselves. In October 2015, the Taiwan Navy's "Success" class frigate Ziyi also touched the same shallow in this sea area, causing damage to the warship sonar equipment. Two years later, a "Standard 1" missile on the frigate of Ziyi accidentally fell off the deck during loading and unloading. Although the missile did not explode, the imported missile worth NT$12 million was scrapped due to a low-level mistake. Although
is a stranded incident, the Xining number is much more expensive than the Ziyi number. Speaking of the "Kangding" class frigate, it should bring back memories from many people. In 1991, Taiwan booked 6 frigates of this class from France. This ship was named "Lafayette" class frigates in French Navy . It is one of the earliest warships in the world to adopt a comprehensive stealth design. So far, its technical level is still not behind.
At that time, the first ship of China's 052-class missile destroyer, the Harbin, had just begun trial voyages, and the Kangding-class frigate was quite advanced in the eyes of our military fans. However, now the two polarities are reversed, and we have long looked down on the "Kangding"-class frigate, and military fans now only love 003. In the blink of an eye, our army's development and progress are really touching. After the accident of the main ship "Xining", the Taiwan authorities set up a special investigation team. According to sources, the reason for the stranding is likely to be the captain's misjudgment of his own position. Experts on the island angrily criticized that the Navy had an accident at its home port twice and that they made low-level mistakes. They should reflect on the problem, rather than informing the matter every time.
In recent years, Taiwan’s Navy has made many jokes. In March 2017, a missile speedboat, known as the "aircraft carrier killer" by the Taiwan military, collided with its own fishing boat "Beiyang". At that time, some netizens mocked: "The combat ship can actually collide with slow-speed fishing boats. Is this the so-called 'one hundred' army?"
Of course, there are more exaggerated things than this. In July 2016, the Jinjiang-class large missile boat of the Taiwan Navy, the Jinjiang-class, accidentally fired a Xiongfeng 3 supersonic anti-ship missile, , during the exercise. The missile hit a Kaohsiung fishing boat in Taiwan, 74 kilometers away, causing one death and three injuries. After investigation, it was found that the reason for the missile was that the missile sergeant misoperated the "combat mode" without other officers present. The island’s defense department acknowledged that the incident was caused by a series of violations of discipline.
It is not difficult to see through these small things that the "Taiwan Army" has an extremely perfunctory attitude in daily training, which explains why "stupid things" keep. Of course, the disarray of military discipline on the island is not new. Drug-related and sexual scandals... They have not done much serious business, but there are a lot of gossip. But it’s good that our army can fight such an army easily in the battle of the platform.
