On April 8th, a blogger posted on the Internet that he had operated a drone to fly three times and two dan islands, and this time the Taiwanese army was a little advanced, and did not flee in all directions as before.
A few days ago, the Taiwan military deliberately spent 4.35 billion Taiwan dollars to buy jamming guns, and this is probably what it used this time, but then the Taiwan media directly opened it up in the face and ridiculed it for spending so much money in vain.
Because the blogger used a civilian drone, although there was something wrong about 20 meters away from the military outpost, and the GPS signal was lost, but the impact was not great, and he finally returned safely, and took a lot of high-quality pictures of Erdan Island.
After all, Qiu Guozheng said that if the mainland's drones dared to come, they would dare to shoot them down.

The continental drone flies again
If you want to give awards to the "mouth cannon world", Taiwan is definitely the king of it!
At the end of March, the Taiwan military claimed that they would conduct a live-fire exercise in and around Kinmen from 2 April, which was less than 10 kilometers away from Xiamen.
However, within two days, the Taiwan troops, who were still high-spirited, quickly changed their faces, saying that the weather was bad for the two days and that they were worried about affecting the results of the exercise, so they would change it to shooting training at a land shooting range. Well, he's pretty good at talking.
This is not as bold as mainland netizens, and on March 29, some netizens flew their drones to Erdan Island (one of the Kinmen Islands).
He also photographed the garrison camp of the Taiwan army, and took a clear picture of their facilities and venues.
During this time, there was also a group of soldiers on the ground, sitting leisurely on the ground, most of them busy looking down at their phones, seemingly completely unaware of the strangeness above their heads.
This can barely be attributed to the fact that the drone noise is too small, so no one notices them, but after seeing the netizens' drones, their first reaction is not a warning signal, but hula la la all ran away.
This thing was picked up and the backstage face was almost lost, and the "Golden Defense Department" claimed that it was all because of the backlight, so the soldiers on the island could not see the drones in the air clearly.
However, Qiu Guozheng of Taiwan's defense department did not accept this, in his opinion, this is caused by insufficient training, and he also made it clear that the mainland drones that cross the line should be decisively shot down.
But the embarrassing thing is that the day after he made his statement, a drone from the mainland hovered at low altitude on Erdan Island and took a lot of pictures.
From this we can see that the island is indeed on alert at the moment, with numerous tanks and armored vehicles deployed along the streets.
And this drone was not intercepted by the Taiwanese military during the entire flight. This proves from a certain angle that the defense of the Taiwan military is really too weak to attack.
Subsequently, netizens "studied the stars for 20 years" said that their drone traveled here for the third time, and also took a lot of pictures, although 20 meters away from the outpost, the Taiwan side seemed to have fired a jamming gun, causing the drone to malfunction for a while, but it did not affect the aerial photography and return trip, and there was no damage from a shot or bullet on the drone.
This time, however, the Taiwan side made a different response. When intelligence units on the island detected the civilian drone coming from the opposite shore, they immediately informed the garrison about the situation.
The subsequent garrison not only used signal flares to warn, but also used jamming guns that had been bought with a lot of military spending, and according to the Taiwan side, the drone could only turn around in the end.
Regarding the behavior of the Taiwan military to "fire the first shot", some Taiwan media have come to the fore, saying that they have achieved a preliminary victory over the mainland, and drones will definitely not be able to come and go freely as before without their permission in the future.
All we can say about this is that you should be happy!

Failed shots
In the waters near Taiwan, the appearance of drones is not the first time. In view of this situation, the Taiwan military has spent a lot of money to buy five sets of anti-drone systems, and has also equipped two or three hundred additional signal jamming guns.
But those big-headed soldiers on the island may also be afraid, if they are really talented and shoot down drones from the mainland, what if they come from the other side and want to say something?
The leaders above can still make an "alibi", and the people below them will not be ready-made cannon fodder when the time comes.
Therefore, the Taiwan soldiers stationed on the islands are well aware of the stakes and do not want to be caught up in the fire by the authorities, so they simply choose to stay put, in the hope of staying away from the potential risk of cross-strait conflict.
Although this netizen from the mainland basically only conducted an ordinary shooting of Erdan Island and did not deliberately observe the confidential information of the Taiwan military, it is enough for us to understand some information.

Crispy defense of the island
In the images captured by the drone, we found some military equipment on the island, such as an observation post of the Taiwanese army, and a colorful decommissioned tank.
There have been comments that according to a retired general, the old tanks were placed on the outer islands, and while they may not be usable by the operational agencies, they can still serve as batteries.
At the same time, in the video comment area of the drone owner, the drone that flew to the island was revealed to belong to a common consumer model on the market, because the distance between the island and the land is only about 10 kilometers, so even civilian-level drones can easily fly there.
Under the low-altitude glimpse of our civilian drones, the so-called defensive means of the Taiwan military appear so vulnerable. If we are faced with unmanned aerial vehicles for military use, there is no difference between those Taiwan military posts that claim to be fortifications and those who do not.
Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the military field are not only flying at high altitudes and difficult to detect, but also have stealth technology, and trying to resist with the outdated drone jamming device in their hands is tantamount to a pipe dream. Especially those military drones that carry weapons of destruction, for such sentry posts, I am afraid that they are useless are probably polite.
And what is interesting is that when Lai Qingde went to visit the Taiwan factory, the drone was impressively printed with a circle of Made in China, to put it bluntly, Taiwan's production and construction are inseparable from the support of the mainland.
At present, there are no more than 100 Taiwan military garrisons on Dadan Island and Erdan Island, and it is really not a tight defense or more attention.
The fundamental reason for this state of affairs lies in the fact that Taiwan's military knows very well that if the mainland is determined to take back its neighboring islands, it will not be able to reverse the situation simply by increasing the number of troops stationed there, and because it is too close to the mainland, the geographical location determines the ineffectiveness of the defense. In the absence of the outbreak of war, only a few soldiers were stationed on the island, which was just a pretense and a formality.
