According to China Times News Network on March 16, the Taiwan authorities' "Coast Guard Administration" and Taiwan military held a "military exercise" in the southwest waters of the so-called " air defense identification zone " they designated. According to the media on the island, this is "a large-scale large-scale military exercise that is rare in previous years". In fact, it is in line with their recent military exercises on Dongyin Island and Dongsha Island , and tests the ability of the two major maritime armed forces to cooperate in combat.
But during the Taiwan military exercise, a Ka-28 anti-submarine helicopter equipped by the PLA suddenly approached the sky near the Taiwan military exercise waters to observe. Some experts on the island who knew the knowledgeable island were furious and sweated, pointing out that it is very likely that the military exercise between the Taiwan military and the Taiwan "Coast Guard" has been closely monitored by the PLA, because the Ka-28 equipped by the PLA are equipped with the Navy's 054A and 052 series destroyers and frigate as the ship-borne anti-submarine helicopter .
Therefore, when the PLA's Ka-28 anti-submarine helicopter appeared in the Taiwan Strait, it means that there are activities of the PLA's warship around, or the PLA was also conducting exercises at the same time, but the Taiwan military and the "Coast Guard Administration" did not respond to this, and did not even determine the location of the PLA's warships. It was not as good as some unobstructed island experts. Of course, it may be that the Taiwan military knew but did not have the courage to say it. After all, the so-called "largest-scale exercise" is probably not as large as the PLA's fleet in the same sea area. If you don't say it, you will not be embarrassed, let alone the risk of accidentally shooting.
In fact, the People's Liberation Army has been prepared for the exercise of the Taiwan authorities' "Coast Guard" and has always regarded them as the focus of attention. In recent years, Taiwan's "Coast Guard" has gradually developed from a law enforcement and quasi-military department positioned similar to the "Coast Guard" toward the "Navy". For example, the "600-ton Anping Ship" mentioned by Taiwanese media looks like an ordinary law enforcement ship, but in fact, the ship will gradually replace Taiwan's own Xiongfeng-2/3 anti-ship missiles and become a substantial "warship".
Taiwan authorities plan to build 12 such ships and have clarified the goal of developing the "Coast Guard Administration" into the "Second Navy". Since January this year, they have gradually carried out the so-called "peace and war transition" training, that is, the "peace and wartime state" transformation training, and plan to gradually allow the armed ships of the "Coast Guard Administration" to gradually undertake some combat readiness tasks of the Taiwan military, and directly incorporate the "Coast Guard Administration" into the Taiwan military's combat command system during the war.
As a phased result of this plan, on the 15th, the Taiwan "Coast Guard Administration" gathered more than ten ships of all sizes and Taiwan Navy warships, and held an event similar to "military exercise" in the southwest of Taiwan. Green media on the island advocated "strong military appearance". The People's Liberation Army, which has always been closely concerned about the military development of the Taiwan authorities, naturally would not miss this opportunity to show its muscles. It also conducted drills across the air during the Taiwan military exercises, and took off helicopters to inspect the waters of the Taiwan authorities' armed ship activities, indicating that the People's Liberation Army had a clear understanding of their activities.
It is worth mentioning that the ship participating in this exercise also includes the "Tuojiang Ship" called " aircraft carrier killer " by Taiwanese media. The missile speedboat , which has no air-to-Taiwan sensors and simply relies on data chains to lock the target. It has a displacement of no more than 1,000 tons but is equipped with a multi-equipped Xiongfeng missile launcher. This ship is the main warship of the Taiwan military in the future. Of course, its combat capability can be basically negligible. For the mainland, this type of armament does not have any military threat.
The Taiwan Army's Tuojiang ship is said to be invisible, but its appearance is very nonsense. It has neither an integrated mast nor a string of missile launchers are displayed on the top as the radar reflection source. Except for the ship's appearance, it is actually not related to stealth. However, the mainland still attaches great importance to these "toys" that are played in the house by the Taiwan authorities.
Because the Taiwan Army does not pay attention to war, we should know that the main combat goal of the Taiwan Navy and the "Coast Guard Administration" is not actually to resist the maritime offensive of the People's Liberation Army's South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet , but to attack mainland fishing boats during wartime, and by creating destruction and coercing mainland fishermen to force the mainland not to use force easily. To be blunt, the virtues of the national army back then were actually perfectly inherited by today's Taiwan army.
Of course, the Taiwan authorities did not recognize this, but many combat regulations of the Taiwan military have such clauses, emphasizing the need to harass mainland fishing boats and other civilian targets. After the millennium, the Taiwan military's "counterattack on the mainland" combat program also has clauses such as "focusing on the family members of the People's Liberation Army commanders and fighters to threaten", which basically all parties follow the Ukrainian Nazis. In fact, in the past few decades, the hands of the Taiwan "Coast Guard" have been stained with the blood of mainland fishermen. It is not uncommon to force the stop of mainland fishing boats and kill mainland fishermen. These accounts are all remembered now!
So you can imagine: Once the war in the Taiwan Strait begins, the Naval Air Force of the South China Sea Fleet will undertake the task of eliminating the maritime forces of the Taiwan Army. The H-6K, Su-30MKK and J-16, which can mount and launch large anti-ship missiles, will search for the armed ships of the Taiwan authorities around the Taiwan Strait on a large scale and sink them to ensure that they cannot use Dongsha Island as a springboard to harass the surrounding mainland fishing boats to cause trouble for the PLA to collect Taiwan.
