Previously, U.S. House speaker Pelosi visited Taiwan Province despite repeated warnings from the mainland, and then the People's Liberation Army launched a large-scale military exercise in the Taiwan Strait to respond. Theoretically, the main part of the PLA's military exercises has long been over, but these days there are still a large number of warships and fighters of our army crossing the so-called central line of the Taiwan Strait. This move is to tell the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island and the Americans that the People's Liberation Army has established a "new normal" and that there is no difference between the Taiwan military and the undefended taiwan army today.
Just recently, the People's Liberation Army's drones once again humiliated the Taiwan military, and a video was circulated on social media a few days ago, and the drones that took off from the mainland flew over Kinmen Island and photographed a garrison post of the Taiwan army at close range. The video footage shows two Taiwanese sentries looking up at the drone above their heads with a blank face, and later Taiwanese soldiers throwing stones at the drone. Subsequently, the Taiwan Provincial Army Command confirmed that the video was real.

In addition, the Taiwan Army Command also stressed that the drone was in the Golden Gate Bold Defense Zone, which was shot at a high altitude with a telephoto lens. In fact, this sentence is full of loopholes, if the drone is really shooting at a high altitude, then the Taiwan military wants to drive it away, it should use equipment such as anti-UAV electromagnetic jamming guns instead of throwing stones.

Because the drone was shooting at that time, the red landline telephone in the Taiwan military post, the camera hanging around the soldier's neck, and the number A64 of the post were all clearly captured. Previously, the Taiwan Provincial Army had been boasting about the impregnability of the so-called Kinmen Defense Zone, and their fact that they had let such a small drone fly over Kinmen as if it were in no man's land was enough to prove that their air defense system was like paper paste. The backstage army also stressed that the drone was warned to drive away, and as always, claimed that the surrounding area was under its control. However, whether they can do what they boast, everyone can see clearly.

So what does this say? First of all, the situation of the "Strawberry Soldiers" of the Taiwan Provincial Army is very serious, and this time the Taiwan Military Outpost photographed by our army's drone is in the first line of Kinmen, and even our army's long-range mortars can directly hit from Xiamen at this distance. Theoretically, this level of outpost should be very solid materials, but from the video footage, it can be seen that the outpost not only has a very thin wall, but also does not want to use a steel screen door, but installs an ordinary wooden door and the like. The outpost is not a steel plate reinforced bunker or a reinforced concrete bunker at all, it is a very humble small gatehouse.
In addition, this incident can also reflect the worrying electronic warfare capabilities of the Taiwan Provincial Army. From the video, we can see that there is an antenna in the upper left of this post, which is most likely a microwave antenna that serves the video acquisition equipment, or it may be a device status data antenna, which is used to transmit the equipment status information in the outpost back to the command post or base station.

However, a closer look can be found that this antenna is a typical civilian coaxial cable RF antenna, I am afraid that the People's Liberation Army in the early 21st century completely eliminated this equipment, because such antennas not only have very poor anti-interference ability, but also have a very large risk of leakage. It is also worth mentioning that the vast majority of such antennas are omnidirectional antennas that can receive or transmit signals from all directions, which means that they can be interfered with by cluttered signals in all directions.

Will shoot the Taiwan Provincial Army outpost, it is estimated that at most it is a civilian consumer-grade UAV, it is likely to be DJI's ordinary four-rotor UAV, not at all any high-precision equipment, if it is a pterodactyl, Xianglong, Dark Sword, Shendiao, Rainbow 5 this kind of large UAV flying by, it is estimated that the sentry of the Taiwan Provincial Army does not even have the courage to throw stones.
