Please take a look at the following picture, two high-altitude balloons entered the sky over the island of Taiwan for the first time, one Air Police 500 early warning plane equipped by the PLA Air Force was operating in the coastal areas of our side, and the weapons and equipment of the PLA began to enter the airspace over the island of Taiwan.
This is the second type of equipment for the PLA to enter the island of Taiwan!
Since Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, the Taiwan Strait is still very lively, and the military in the Taiwan region has been receiving "key assistance" from the PLA, which is obviously different from the past, when the PLA usually sent combat aircraft and drones of the air force and naval aviation to cross the so-called "median line of the Taiwan Strait" and the airspace southwest of Taiwan.
This time, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) sent high-altitude balloons for three consecutive days and began to try to enter the airspace over the island, and a person in Taiwan said that the PLA's move was "not very harmful and extremely insulting."
Why did the PLA Air Force send high-altitude balloons into Taiwan Island? Let's analyze them one by one.
1: The second type of equipment of the People's Liberation Army to openly enter the island of Taiwan
Judging from the early warning information issued by the Taiwan side, the PLA's high-altitude balloon completely crossed the airspace over the Taiwan Island, and after flying over the Taiwan Strait, it successively crossed the so-called center line of the Taiwan Strait and the "territorial airspace" of the Taiwan Island, and directly entered the airspace over the northern part of the Taiwan Island.
During a combat readiness patrol against Taiwan in August last year, a number of Dongfeng short-range ballistic missiles equipped by the PLA Rocket Force passed over Taiwan, and the missiles accurately hit the intended targets east of Taiwan.
The PLA Rocket Force is equipped with more than 1,000 short-range ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, and is the world's largest conventional missile unit.
The entire island of Taiwan is within the range of the PLA's conventional missiles, and no "Taiwan independence" force dares to easily cross the red line, let alone openly "become independent."
However, the Taiwan authorities have played the trick of covering their ears and stealing the bell, claiming that the PLA's missiles will not pose a threat to Taiwan, that the missile's flight trajectory is higher than the range of its territorial airspace, and that it will not pose a threat to Taiwan's security.
Since the Taiwan side did not recognize the missile that passed through the island, and the PLA once again sent a high-altitude balloon to cross the island, the Taiwan side has nothing to say this time.
High-altitude balloons can be used for meteorological observation and for monitoring and reconnaissance of various targets on the ground, and this has made the Taiwan side quite jealous.
Although it has no combat effectiveness and is an auxiliary reconnaissance means on the battlefield, it can also exert military pressure on the other side without worrying about casualties.
If the PLA's high-altitude balloon enters Taiwan Island, if the Taiwan military uses anti-aircraft firearms to attack the PLA's high-altitude balloon, it will be equivalent to firing the first shot, and the PLA's navy and air force deployed around the Taiwan Strait will inevitably retaliate, and it is very likely that the condition for triggering "armed reunification" will be raised, and if the Taiwan military does not return fire, our military will continue to exert pressure in the direction of Taiwan.
What is the purpose of the PLA
The first is to conduct reconnaissance on the preset battlefield:
If the prospect of peaceful reunification completely disappears, the Chinese armed forces will be forced to launch a "war of reunification," and the PLA navy, air force, army, and rocket force need to grasp the real-time battlefield enemy situation, find out the hydrological and meteorological characteristics of the Taiwan Strait, the surrounding sea areas, and airspace, and also need to grasp the deployment of troops on the island of Taiwan. Only in this way can conditions be created for landing operations.
In particular, the Taiwan military's important air defense missile positions, radar and communication facilities, moving targets, counterattack positions, air force airfields, army aviation airfields, and naval ports are important.
The Taiwan army is also a regional armed force with 200,000 troops capable of mobilizing more than one million people to participate in the war, and the PLA can only grasp the enemy's situation if it does a solid job of preset battlefield reconnaissance.
The 200,000 navy, army, and air force of the Taiwan military are basically deployed in several hundred large and small military bases on the island of Taiwan, and a small number are deployed on the surrounding outlying islands.
Entering the sky over Taiwan Island through unmanned high-altitude detection balloons is a very effective means of reconnaissance, assisting satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other observation and communication equipment to monitor the preset battlefield without dead ends.
The second is to gradually break down the psychological defense line of the Taiwan side.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has successively broken through the so-called "middle line of the Taiwan Strait" and approached Taiwan's so-called "airspace and the sea," and Taiwan's armed forces have basically been compressed by the PLA on the 36,000-square-kilometer island of Taiwan's main island, much like the Huang Wei Corps on the Huaihai battlefield in those years.
Through this method of "slicing sausages," the psychological defense line of the Taiwan authorities and the armed forces in the Taiwan region will be gradually broken, and they will understand that the PLA has completely grasped the control of the surrounding areas of the Taiwan Strait, and the military yoke has been firmly locked around the neck of the Taiwan side.
Finally, it is necessary to test the reaction of the Taiwanese side. At present, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is constantly advancing on the island of Taiwan, forming an established fact that troops are approaching the city, and the Taiwan authorities are forced to be captured by military means.
We advise the Taiwan authorities that there is still a chance for peace and negotiations, and that if they continue to insist on going their own way, then it will be their responsibility to cause all the consequences, and not to wait for the PLA to cross the strait with thousands of troops and all the missiles and artillery to enter the positions, and then it will be too late.
