Taiwan has made public the so-called "Haikun"-class conventional-powered submarines, and the "Haikun"-class conventional-powered submarines are "self-developed" projects on the island, but judging from the information released by the Taiwan media, the "Haikun"-class conventional-powered submarines have achieved their current results only after receiving a lot of external assistance. On September 28, 2023, Taiwan Island held the "launching ceremony" of the "Haikun" conventionally powered submarine, but in fact, the submarine developed by Taiwan Island has not yet been launched, because the so-called launching at that time was just a ceremony, and the submarine did not even "close", so it did not have the basis for launching at all. In order to exaggerate their political achievements, the DPP authorities on Taiwan Island have made a big splash about the so-called "launching ceremony."
In recent years, Taiwan Island has been continuously improving its military strength, so it has quite a rhythm of "resisting reunification by force", and the "Haikun" submarine is a project vigorously promoted by the DPP authorities, for which Tsai Ing-wen personally participated in the "launching ceremony", in fact, Taiwan Island renders the "Haikun" submarine, which is also providing support for the sprint to the 2024 "general election", Lai Qingde represents the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party to sprint for the 2024 "general election", for which he Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party wants to develop its own "Haikun" In fact, the so-called launching of the submarine is a farce, because the state of the submarine has already shown that it is the "great internal propaganda" of the DPP on Taiwan.
In addition to the so-called "Haikun" class conventionally powered submarines, Taiwan is also strengthening its air power, the most prominent is the introduction of 66 F-16V Brock 70/72 batch fighters, Taiwan claims that F-16V fighters can compete with the PLA's J-20 stealth fighters. When Taiwan purchased 66 F-16V latest models, it was also improving the existing F-16A/B fighters, and now 140 A/B F-16s have all become the so-called F-16V Brock 20 batch fighters, and Taiwan is hyping up the F-16V fighter to complete the transformation, so as to try to create an atmosphere of Taiwan's strong military strength, which is the momentum of the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party for the 2024 "general election".
As the New Year approached, just as Taiwan continued to build the Haikun submarine that had been "launched," the bad news came, according to a report released by Taiwan, the "Sea Tiger" conventionally powered submarine on Taiwan Island had a sudden accident on December 21, which had caused three people to go missing. Judging from the information released by Taiwan Island, it is because when the "Sea Tiger" conventionally powered submarine was sailing on the sea surface, some parts fell into the sea, so it needed to be fixed, and during the period, it suddenly encountered the impact of the waves, so six people were swept into the water, and three people were rescued at that time, but three people were lost. The surprise was that Taiwan was one of two conventionally powered submarines purchased from the Netherlands, and in 1982 Taiwan announced that it would purchase Tiger-class conventionally powered submarines from the Netherlands.
At present, Taiwan Island is still searching for and rescuing the missing personnel of the "Sea Tiger" submarine, and Taiwan Island has mobilized ships and helicopters to search and rescue the people in the sea area where the incident occurred; according to the information released by Taiwan Island, the "Tiger" submarine was carrying out a mission off Zuoying in Kaohsiung at that time, and an accident occurred during the period. When the "Haikun" submarine on Taiwan Island was still under construction, the submarine in service on Taiwan Island suddenly had an accident, which made the DPP authorities on Taiwan quite embarrassed, and it can be described as a situation of "seeking a hammer and getting a hammer."
