U.S. House Speaker Pelosi ended his visit to Taiwan, China on Wednesday evening and set off for South Korea. The People's Liberation Army also carried out large-scale military exercises and training against its provocative behavior in Taiwan. The actual combat training around Taiwan was carried out simultaneously in six exercise areas marked by the sea and airspace near Taiwan, and live-fire shooting was organized.
According to the Eastern Theater Command, in the long-range fire live-fire shooting training conducted by Taiwan Strait , the army troops used rocket launcher to carry out precise strikes on the "specific areas of the east" of the strait, achieving the expected results. In addition, the PLA Rocket Force also conducted a conventional missile test launch in the waters east of Taiwan. Judging from the images released by CCTV later, the PLA's conventional tactical missiles were divided into three directions and crossed over the Taiwan Island.
The goal of this exercise is very clear. Once a conflict breaks out, the People's Liberation Army can quickly destroy important military targets such as the Taiwan military airport with precise firepower, and can also attack external military forces trying to intervene from the eastern waters of Taiwan, such as the US aircraft carrier group. Faced with the PLA missile flying over Taiwan, the Taiwan military has "Holding the White Flag " in advance and publicly shouted through the media that "they will never intercept it."
Some Taiwanese media speculated that the PLA may dispatch new types of missiles such as Dongfeng-16 ballistic missile and Dongfeng-17 hypersonic ballistic missiles. According to the "China Times" on the island, Taiwan military officials also believe that it is very likely to be the "Dongfeng Express" series of missiles. If the exercise area located on the coast of eastern Taiwan is the destination, the People's Liberation Army missiles will fly over the central mountain range of , Taiwan Island, for the first time, and the Taiwan military will not "intercept".
Judging from the Taiwan military's advance statement that it would not "interception", it acted on the surface as if "the situation was not that serious" and did not require interception, but in fact it exposed its true inner weakness and was powerless in the face of the People's Liberation Army's attack. Therefore, the so-called failure to intercept is to "raising the white flag" from both action and psychology.
It is worth mentioning that the Taiwan military also mentioned that if the PLA missile "deviates" and lands on the island, it will launch the "Patriot missile" for the so-called "interception". And this is just a bluff from the Taiwan military. In fact, the US-made Patriot anti-missile system used by the Taiwan military is a low-altitude terminal interception system with a maximum firing height of about 24 kilometers. When facing the new generation of tactical ballistic missiles of the People's Liberation Army, especially the hypersonic missiles such as Dongfeng-17, there is basically no interception success rate. There is no essential difference between the so-called "interception" and not intercepting. Moreover, once a conflict breaks out, the Taiwan military's anti-missile system , early warning radar and other equipment will inevitably be the targets of the People's Liberation Army's priority strikes and will not give patriots the opportunity to intercept. Therefore, the so-called "interception" mentioned by the Taiwan military is just to "bring courage" to itself.
Judging from the news of the Eastern Theater Command exercises, the live-fire training mission has been successfully completed, and multiple models of conventional missiles have accurately hit the predetermined targets on the coast of the eastern island of Taiwan. This also sends a clear signal to the United States that the PLA's "regional denial" ability is not just a matter of talking about it, and it is even more impossible for the situation where GPS was shut down in 1996. The US military dares to send troops to intervene, but there is only a dead end.
In addition, judging from the movements of the USS Reagan aircraft carrier, when the People's Liberation Army announced that it would test-fire missiles, it immediately evacuated the relevant waters east of Taiwan. This also shows that the US aircraft carrier is just here to escort Pelosi to Taiwan, and it is not provided with the so-called "protective umbrella" to the Taiwan authorities, and it will not block the guns for the Taiwan authorities.
For the Taiwan authorities, it is still time to stop. If still has the fantasy of the US military "raid" and continues to cross the red line, not only will such training in the PLA become the norm in the future, but the unified process will also start the timer .
