How long can Taiwan's naval and air forces persist in anti-landing operations?
At present, there are 180,000 People in the Taiwan Army and about 150,000 people in the Reserve Army. The Taiwan military's air force has more than 550 fighters of various types, including 130 F-16 fighters and 54 Mirage-2000s. Taiwan's air force also has 12 P-3C anti-submarine aircraft, and 6 E-2 early warning aircraft can provide anti-submarine and early warning missions, and have certain reconnaissance capabilities for the mainland's air assault.
The Taiwan Maritime Force has 4 destroyers, 22 cruisers (called heavy frigates on the mainland), 4 submarines, 31 missile boats, and 2 mine-laying boats as the main force. Of these warships, the most important main force of Taiwan is the Kidd-class destroyers. The Kidd class is a retired U.S. military warship purchased from Taiwan, originally tailored for Iran, belonging to the level of the 1980s. Full load displacement of 9700 tons, maximum speed of 33 knots / h. It is equipped with 2 anti-submarine helicopters, 2 twin-mounted twin-arm missile launchers, 2 127mm naval guns, 2 dense array close-in guns and 2 tube torpedo launchers.
The flaws of the Kidd class are that there is no active phased array radar, no missile vertical launch system, and the ability to detect ultra-low-altitude flying missiles is relatively weak, in addition to the relatively large tonnage, it has actually lagged behind the current era. 10 "Success" class is purchased from the United States retired Perry-class frigates, and 6 are purchased from the United States, the earlier "Knox" class, they also do not have missile vertical launch systems, radar detection capabilities are outdated, so it is difficult to survive under the blows of the People's Liberation Army.
The Taiwan military's "Kangding" class cruisers were purchased from France, a total of 6 ships, with a full load displacement of 3600 tons, and improved radar detection, sonar and radio frequency systems. It can carry 32 SeaSword-2 anti-aircraft missiles and 8 Hsiung-2 anti-ship missiles. But in the face of the continent's many shield ships and aircraft, its survivability is not very good.
In addition, although the "aircraft carrier killer" Tuojiang-class missile boats that the Taiwan military has vigorously publicized can indeed hit a lot of missiles, and their stealth and reconnaissance capabilities are also excellent compared with similar types, the number is not much, the tonnage is too small, and it is difficult to cause damage to the shield ships of the mainland navy.
Therefore, in the face of the mainland's superior military strength, it is difficult for Taiwan to persist for a long time. The PLA can complete the amphibious landing on Taiwan within 14 or even 7 days.
