[Global Times Special Correspondent Chen Lifei] After the Taiwanese military's guards on Kinmen Erdan Island were recently taken by drone and soldiers threw stones and "counterattacked" incident, it was reported that it was suspected that mainland drones broke into Kinmen Camp again to take an air shooting incident, which attracted high attention on the island.

According to Taiwan China Times Electronic News on the 228th, a video appeared on Weibo in the early morning of the same day, showing a drone taking a complete shot of a camp in Taiwan's so-called "outer island" area. In the video, the surrounding terrain is visible in the distance, and the Taiwan defense briefing map and aircraft and ship identification wall chart can be seen near the camp. Taiwanese media said that "there are likely to be a risk of military information leak." It can also be seen in the video that after the armed sentry of the Taiwan military discovered the drone, they immediately used the walkie-talkie to notify the security personnel in the main building behind the post. After some officers and soldiers rushed out to check, they began to call to report, but there was no countermeasures. Taiwan TVBS News also noticed that in the picture, the drone passed through a water area and stayed on an island. In addition to seeing large areas of green space, they also clearly captured residential areas and streets. Even cars on the road were photographed clearly, and locals waved to the drone. Taiwan United News Network said that the video was read 700,000 times in just 4 hours after it was uploaded, and it was uploaded to other platforms, and some images were partially amplified.

In this regard, the Taiwan Army’s “Kinmen Defense Command” confirmed on the morning of the 28th that a drone “shortly” passed over the Kinmen Lieyu Camp on the 27th. They asserted that this was a recurring "provocation" of flight entities such as drones and other flight entities, and posed a major "threat" to Taiwan's defense and flight security. They will take necessary countermeasures, including expulsion, to respond appropriately.

Taiwan Defense Department published this information in the afternoon of the 28th on the homepage of the spokesperson Facebook . The picture contains officers and soldiers with guns, and the text "A necessary countermeasures including expulsion will be written to ensure Taiwan's security."

A few days ago, after Kinmen Erdan Island was taken by a suspected mainland drone, the Taiwan military said that the "outside islands" responded to the "invasion" drones, based on the principles of "one change, chain reaction, and comprehensive change" to complete identification, response and notification. Taiwan’s defense department also announced that it will prioritize the use of “outer island” defense zones after installing the drone defense system next year to deal with the “gray zone threat” of civil drone .

Korean "Legislator" Lai Shibao said that Taiwan's defense budget will hit a new high next year, exceeding NT$400 billion. However, in the face of mainland fighter jets and ships repeatedly crossing the so-called "middle line of the strait", missile crossing over Taiwan, and close-up shooting of drones, the Taiwan military uses internal propaganda, external calls, and even striking back with stones to spy, criticizing the Tsai administration for not taking active actions in defense, but "pushing the people of Taiwan to the brink of war." DPP New Taipei City Council candidate Zhuo Guanting said on the 28th that if Taiwan military does not have a new way of dealing with it, this kind of "harassment" will only "more and more".

Some netizens asked questions, why can’t the Taiwan army shoot? Taiwan military officials revealed that the "outer island" encountered low-altitude disturbances of mainland drones. If they wanted to fire and drive away, the "time of gun use" regulations must be revised and the troops were authorized to fire. However, the Taiwan military said that it can use the high-power laser pen to focus on the drone camera to illuminate it, so that the operator cannot see the image clearly on the screen and can only avoid it.

Former Military Science instructor Lu Lishi, the instructor of the Taiwan Navy School, said on the 28th that the Taiwan military post on the outer island seems to have become the target of mocking by mainland drone players. He proposed that in the face of drones, if you do not "boldly use a gun" to "hard kill" and cannot use the interference system to "soft kill", you can use the "geographical fence" function of the drone, that is, the "big" entry into the drone host, and the "outer island" is set as a "geographical fence" restricted area, so as to temporarily solve the thorny problems of the Taiwanese military outpost facing drones.

US Dynamics Network said that with the rise of US House Speaker Pelosi html coming to Taiwan in early February, Taiwan's frequency of "gray zone threat" on the other side has increased significantly.Since Kinmen is very close to Xiamen, Fujian, even low-level drones can easily "invade" across the sea. Although the Taiwanese military was a civilian drone, it may set a dangerous precedent, paving the way for armed drones to enter the airspace of Taiwan’s outer island military base. A reporter from the Global Times learned that the instant-operable civilian drone signals sold on the mainland are generally about a few kilometers to more than ten kilometers away. TVBS said that if more mainland drones really start to "live broadcast check-in", the Taiwan military "has the time pressure to think about how to deal with it will probably be more urgent."

" Stone Age National Defense", Taiwan's United Daily News commented on this title on the 27th that if the photographer had not uploaded the video to the social network website, the people on the island would not have known that the equipment and response of the Taiwan defenders were still in the "Stone Age". Recently, Mazu has been repeatedly "harassed" by suspected mainland drones and UFOs, and the Taiwan military can only fire signal flares to warn and drive them away; while the soldiers at Kinmen Post did not even have signal flares. The article said that the Tsai administration kept shouting "anti-China" slogans and constantly buying American arms, but was helpless in cross-strait relations. The Democratic Progressive Party, which is fierce and cowardly, will only clamor for "Taiwan independence" and flatter the United States and Japan.
