Last month, Taiwan’s 10,000-ton amphibious dock transport ship Yushan was launched. The amphibious dock transport ship, or the dock landing ship, , is mainly used to carry personnel, equipment and supplies of landing troops. So what is Taiwan doing to build such a large amphibious dock transport ship? In fact, if we combine the discussion on the expansion of Taiping Island and the hype of Dongsha Island , we will find that the Taiwanese authorities want to further strengthen the off-island armed forces and build a guard circle outside of Taiwan's main island to gain time for the island's military response.
Taiwan Yushan ship launched.
Let’s take a look at this ship first. Its displacement is as high as 10,600 tons, a maximum speed of 21 knots, and a range of about 10,000 kilometers. It can also accommodate 673 officers and soldiers, and can be equipped with AAV7 tracked amphibious combat vehicles, which is equivalent to a battalion-level entire unit. Its dock can also be equipped with various landing crafts . After the Yushan number is launched, it will also complete subsequent outfit construction and sea trials, and it is planned to be put into service in 2022. Taiwan Army currently plans to build 4 ships. What are the advantages of this dock transport ship or dock landing ship? The amphibious dock transport ship is the first large amphibious warship to achieve "balanced loading". "Balanced Loading" means that a ship can load personnel and equipment and materials for landing troops in a built-in manner, so that each ship can be integrated into one. After the personnel and equipment of this ship can fight independently in a system. It does not mean that I have to wait for the equipment of other ships or tanks to go up, and the cooperation of infantry.
Taiwan built such a large amphibious ship for what? Is it obvious that Taiwan is still thinking about counterattacking the mainland? Taiwan has neither the strength nor the courage, so it has long since stopped having such daydreams. Taiwan’s defense department said that it was to carry out the humanitarian rescue mission, which was to replace the old ship that had served for 50 years. In fact, these are all rhetoric.
Yushan Ship's main performance.
We can make a judgment by combining the recent news that Taiwan has hyped recently.
The first is to expand Taiping Island; the second is to hype the mainland drone flying around Dongsha, and the Taiwan side clamors to open fire. Third, the so-called anti-stealth radar was sent to Penghu Islands . I have talked about these things in the video before, so I won’t talk about them here. These things reflect a common trend: Taiwan is now beginning to pay attention to the defenses of these offshore islands. So, one of the important or main uses of the large amphibious ship launched this time is to provide support to some offshore islands, transport personnel and equipment to the higher authorities when necessary, and strengthen defense. At the same time, it can also undertake daily transportation tasks. Before
, the Taiwanese authorities basically gave up these islands and reefs. At the end of the last century, troops had been withdrawn from Taiping Island and Dongsha Island. Because the Taiwan Army's judgment was very realistic at that time, it could not be defended, and it wasted its troops in vain. Then why are we starting to strengthen the construction of offshore islands and the defense of offshore islands? Can you keep it now? Of course, it cannot be defended. Not only can these offshore islands be defended, but once the mainland makes up its mind, even the mainland of Taiwan will be recovered soon. Then what should we do to strengthen off-island defense?
Follow the appearance, Yushan Ship pretends to be invisible, and wants to secretly smuggle? Anti-ship missile service!
At the end of the last century, Taiwan felt that the offshore island could not be defended, but the island insisted on persisting, and it might be possible to hold on for a few days, and then wait for reinforcements to come. Including the policies it formulated at that time and the equipment it purchased were all for this. Now, the Taiwan military has discovered that according to the current trend, once a conflict occurs, the island will be quickly recovered, and the Taiwan military cannot insist on the arrival of reinforcements. Of course, it is hard to say whether there are reinforcements. By then, there will be no chance to run away.
In this case, if the defense of these offshore islands, especially the offshore islands in the straits, is too weak, the People's Liberation Army is likely to ignore the existence of these islands, directly cross these offshore islands, and regain Taiwan's main island, which can be said to be a direct attack on the Yellow Dragon. If the defense of the offshore islands is strengthened and strong enough to prevent the PLA from ignoring the existence of these islands and reefs, it may first take down these islands and reefs and then clean up Taiwan's main island, which is equivalent to giving Taiwan an early warning.Either you can strengthen your combat readiness or run away as soon as possible.
However, Taiwan's small abacus is quite good, but the reality may be cruel to the Taiwan independence forces.
Yushan Ship String Number 14, what does this mean?
Let’s talk about this type of dock transport ship first. In the past, it was said that a 10,000-ton giant ship, but this was a 10,000-ton giant target, and the defensive weapons on the ship were better than nothing. The main self-defense weapons are the Tianjian-2 air-to-air missile modified Haijian-2 air-to-air missile and the dense array near-defense system. There is no need for Eagle Strike-18, Eagle Strike-12 supersonic anti-ship missiles, which are Eagle Strike-82, Eagle Strike-62, etc., which can sank him. The US media also said that he was equipped with the Xiongfeng-2 anti-ship missile, but of course, the Taiwanese media did not mention the anti-ship missile. We have a saying: If this ship tries to use anti-ship missiles to proactively provoke the PLA ship during wartime, it will only make it sink faster. It can be said that during the conflict, the Taiwan dock transport ship basically did not play any role. In other words, in normal times, gave this army, known as the transport brigade captain in history, and decorated the storefront.
Will the Taiwan military strengthening offshore defense help to leave Taiwan with early warning time and help Taiwan’s top leaders run away? We also saw that Liaoning ship went to the Taiwan Strait for exercise. This shows that with the formation of combat effectiveness of Liaoning and Shandong ships, the People's Liberation Army aircraft carrier formation can completely encircle the waters of the eastern part of Taiwan, and Taiwan will be surrounded in an isolated island in the future. All this in Taiwan is in vain.
