With the leapfrog development of China's navy and air force, it is becoming more and more clear to the Americans that they are changing from the dominant player in the situation in the Taiwan Strait to an insignificant supporting role!
In order to prevent China's complete reunification as much as possible and maintain US military hegemony in East Asia, Admiral Samuel Paparo, the new commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, said that the US military plans to use thousands of unmanned ships on the water and aerial drones to flood the entire Taiwan Strait region in order to delay the PLA's military operations in the Taiwan Strait and buy time for the United States and its allies to intervene in the Taiwan Strait on a large scale.
The U.S. Indo-Pacific commander announced that he would use a huge number of unmanned weapons to create a "forbidden zone" for PLA military operations in the Taiwan Strait!
According to the Washington Post, the new commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Paparo, announced that the United States is developing a new strategy to prevent the PLA from reunifying Taiwan by force!
Paparo said that the goal of the PLA is to launch a high-intensity local war under high-tech conditions, defeat the Taiwan army in the shortest possible time, and realize China's complete reunification, while the task of the US military is to prevent China from completing this strategic attempt in a short period of time.
In order to achieve this strategic goal, Samuel Paparo, commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific, put forward a strategic idea called "Hell Landscape," that is, when the Chinese People's Liberation Army launches a large-scale attack on Taiwan Island, the U.S. military will deploy thousands of unmanned submarines, unmanned surface ships, and aerial drones to the Taiwan Strait, extending the PLA's military action against Taiwan for at least one month, preventing our military from a quick victory, and creating conditions for a larger military intervention by the United States and its allies.
In March, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that it would spend $1 billion on a program called Copier to build a variety of unmanned surface ships and aerial drones for the mission. According to the American newspaper Defense One, the planned UAV of the US military "Copier" has been put into service in the Asia-Pacific region. Judging from these signs, it seems that the US military is seriously pursuing its military plan to intervene in a conflict in the Taiwan Strait.
The smooth implementation of the US military's "Hell Landscape" strategy is based on the premise that the PLA will not take countermeasures at all, and it is completely inconsistent with the scenario of a military conflict in the Taiwan Strait.
The experience of the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield has shown that no weapon can remain invincible on the battlefield for a long time!
As soon as the US military's "hellscape" plan was proposed, it became a key research object of our army, and our army had already taken countermeasures! Our army's Type 076 large UAV carrier is a new type of ship developed in response to the US military's extensive use of unmanned water boats and UAVs at sea.
Even our military may have plans that are much larger than the US military, to take similar actions east of Taiwan Island in order to deter possible military intervention by the United States and Japan, after all, with China's industrial capacity, the PLA can acquire a large number of unmanned equipment faster than the US military.
What is even more strange is that as a strategic plan for military intervention in our army's military reunification with Taiwan, the United States does not keep it secret, but instead conducts propaganda with great fanfare!
What is the purpose of the US military in doing this? It's nothing more than two things!
First, in the face of our military's absolute military superiority in the Taiwan Strait region, the US military has despaired! But they must also put on some shows to show the presence of the US military in the Taiwan Strait and cheer up the "Taiwan independence forces"! As for the military significance of the essence of these performances, it does not matter.
Second, the US military hopes to strategically deceive our military through such propaganda, and they will focus their real strategic focus on other aspects, such as the fact that US attack nuclear submarines are more likely to pose a substantial military threat to our fleet fighting across the sea.
However, the core of strategic deception is that the opponent is not strong enough to take into account multiple strategic directions, and this does not exist for our military.
Our armed forces have absolute superiority in the Taiwan Strait and in East Asia, both against the US military and against Taiwan's local armed forces, and we are fully capable of delivering devastating blows from many directions against the Taiwan military and the US-Japanese coalition forces that may come to intervene. In the face of absolute power, it makes no sense for the US military to strategically deceive us!
On the whole, the strategic concept of "hell landscape" put forward by Samuel Paparo, commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific, is more of a useless move to appease the "Taiwan independence forces", which can only show that the U.S. military is very desperate about its imminent loss of power in East Asia!
