For the first time, the mainland military plane flew into the "territorial airspace" of Taiwan's outlying islands and shocked the islands; public opinion is worried that the PLA's "north-south clamping" on Taiwan may become the norm

On the evening of the fifth day of the first lunar month, a suspected civilian drone appeared in the so-called "airspace" of Matsu Dongyin Island and flew all the way from west to east at a low altitude. Subsequently, the DPP authorities confirmed through the so-called high-level that the unknown plane flying over Dongyin Island was a Chinese mainland Maritime Supervision Y-12 transport aircraft, and that the voyage originated from a certain civilian airport in Fujian. However, because Matsu is located in the northwest of Taiwan's main island, military and political circles on the island are worried that the PLA's so-called "north-south clampdown" against Taiwan may become the norm.

The Mainland Military Plane First Entered matsu's "Airspace" The Taiwan military did not react to criticism

It is reported that the Chinese mainland Maritime Supervision Y-12, one of the fighters of the PLA Maritime Supervision Aviation Formation, has participated in the sea and air three-dimensional cruise mission against the Diaoyu Islands for many times since its service. The current Haijian Yun-12 transport plane flew over The Mazu East Lead Island, which is also the first time that a continental military aircraft has entered this "airspace."

According to the report, the Taiwan Air Force has set up a radar station in Matsu and has deployed a "Tianbow" anti-aircraft missile unit for a long time, and it is reasonable to discover that an aircraft plane has entered the so-called "territorial airspace" at the first time and carried out the so-called "air alert and broadcast away." As of now, the Taiwan military still makes a general summary of "discovering the UFO" and has not made an explanation for the so-called "air defense loopholes," which has triggered a wave of criticism from public opinion on the island.

Experts on the island: The Mainland military may have solved the maritime communication relay

Taiwan strategy expert Zhang Jing analyzed that the east lead island is quite a distance from the mainland, just as the Taiwan military said, the "UFO" this time can cross the west and east lead, and then immediately turn back, the real concern is the Taiwan military command and control guidance capabilities, especially the plane is a low-altitude flight, if it is really for the PLA unmanned aerial vehicle across the ocean, it shows that the mainland military has basically solved the problem of maritime communication relay, this is the real key.

Retired General: The PLA's current operation is intended to test the reaction of the Taiwan military

Zhang Yanting, a retired general of the Taiwan Air Force, claimed that the mainland aircraft entering dongyin was a deliberate attempt to test the reaction of the Taiwan military, which has the triple significance of military, political, and propaganda; the PLA tested it with the so-called "gray area action," but the Taiwan military did not give a so-called "response" in time, so this test can be considered successful. Zhang Yanting frankly said that at present, it seems that there are indeed mistakes in the handling of the Taiwan military, and how to check and fill in the gaps after that is very important.

Former Kuomintang of China: Peace Between the Two Sides of the Strait and Taiwan's Security

In recent years, it has become normal for the People's Liberation Army to send military planes and warships into Taiwan's so-called "sea and airspace," which has aroused the attention of public opinion on the island. As of now, the PLA has entered Taiwan's "airspace" for 4 days this month, accumulating 30 days in 2022, with a total of 148 flights.

Lin Yufang, a former democratic deputy of the Chinese Kuomintang, said that the DPP authorities are constantly colluding with external forces in an attempt to use force to "independence, and Chinese mainland will naturally give a considerable degree of deterrence. This so-called "East Introduction Incident" is precisely a reminder to Taiwan.

Lin Yufang bluntly said that if we rely entirely on military force to maintain Taiwan's so-called "security," the cost is very large, so the most important thing is to maintain peaceful political relations between the two sides of the strait and reduce the possibility of conflict.

Ministry of National Defense: It is incumbent upon us to curb the separatist acts of "Taiwan independence."

With regard to the PLA's military operations around the Taiwan Strait, Tan Kefei, deputy director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, previously said that the root cause of the current escalation of tension in the Taiwan Strait lies in the "independence" provocations of the DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and the attempts of external forces to "use Taiwan to control China." Safeguarding national sovereignty and security and curbing "Taiwan independence" separatist acts Chinese the duty of the People's Liberation Army. (Taiwan.com Yin Sainan)
