Recently, there has been a video of a mainland drone flying to Erdan Island. According to a blogger, an anomaly was discovered when his drone flew twenty meters above the ground......
I remember that the last time the relevant departments of Taiwan Island released "cruel words", the next time they found that the drone entered its "airspace", it would be shot down.
According to this blogger, this is the third time that he has flown to Erdan Island, and he still returned safely. However, unlike in the past, when the drone descends to the opponent's air surveillance post about 20 meters, the GPS signal is lost, but there is no impact on the UAV's control, aerial photography and return. The jamming gun that the strawberry soldiers bought at a great price was completely useless, and the 4.35 billion was spent in vain.
The video shot Erdan Island air surveillance post, it can be seen that the island is surrounded by green trees, the environment is very good, and some netizens leave a message If it is developed into a tourist attraction, there must be a lot of tourists.
There is also a Sherman M4A3 tank from the 80s painted in the video, which is definitely unmoving, and it is estimated that it can be used for a turret.
Not long ago, this blogger also flew a drone to Erdan Island, causing the soldiers on the island to scatter and flee, and they didn't even need ammunition boxes. The incident caused an uproar on the island, and radicals even clamored for him to be shot down next time. However, the people on the island are angry, they don't have the courage to really shoot down the mainland's drones, otherwise they wouldn't have purchased drone jamming guns. It's just that the effect of this jamming gun has yet to be verified, for example, the jamming gun played unsatisfactory this time.
When the drone returned, the blogger also carefully checked it to confirm that there were no bullet holes and damage, and returned leisurely and safely.
According to the blogger's reply to netizens' questions, it is known that the drone he uses is a mid-range model of a mainstream brand, and most consumer-grade drones can fly about ten kilometers.
In fact, in essence, this blogger's drone flight does not involve any secrets, it is just an ordinary flight shooting, which does not seem to be a big deal. But we can find some clues from it.
As we all know, the mainland's drone industry is very developed, whether it is civilian or military, it is the world's leading.
According to data from the Civil Aviation Administration, the mainland has 1.267 million drones, and there are 194,000 licensed drone operators alone. And we have a huge population base, so the team of civilian drone pilots can be said to be very large, and in this respect we are definitely far ahead of the rest of the world.
In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, civilian drones shine, and we can often see videos of drones participating in operations. And Russia has only 1,500 drone operators, and it is these more than 1,000 people who have already achieved a clear advantage for the Russian army on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield.
And there is a practical case where one drone of the Russian army can make more than two hundred people of the Ukrainian army surrender at the same time.
On the battlefield, if the ground combatants are targeted by the drone, it can be said that there is no escape, because the drone can fly for dozens of minutes in a row, how long can a person run in such a tense environment on the battlefield?
The mainland alone has a very large force for licensed drone operators, so there are countless people who can fly drones but do not have licenses. Personally, I believe that from this point of view, civilian UAVs are also an important strategic resource on the mainland, and the amount of this resource is beyond the reach of all countries in the world.
