At a sensitive moment, a loud bang was heard in the Taiwan Strait, and the $50 million of the Taiwan military was lost. Subsequently, the Taiwan media changed their tone and bluntly said that the PLA had nothing to do with this matter.
Taiwan's fighter jets planted headlong into the sea, has something to do with the PLA?
Recently, a Mirage-2000 of the Taiwan military crashed while carrying out a night training mission, and the pilot was finally rescued after parachuting to escape, but the process in the middle can be described as full of twists and turns, full of dangers.
After the accident occurred, the pilot fell into the sea and drifted, and after the Taiwan military determined the location, it dispatched a helicopter to send the pilot to the hospital using a hanger, but there was a problem with the middle hanging, and the pilot could only jump into the water for the second time and wait for the Taiwan Strait Patrol Department to come to rescue him.

The Mirage 2000 was already very embarrassing when it fell into the sea during training, but it turned out that another moth appeared during the search and rescue, which made the so-called strategy of "resisting reunification with force" of the Taiwan authorities even more ridiculous.
The crash of the Mirage 2000 actually reflects the huge problems that currently exist in the Taiwan military. The Taiwan authorities, who say that they are "going head-to-head" with the mainland, are actually very "old" with a lot of weapons and equipment in their hands.
In 1997, the Taiwan authorities spent a huge sum of $50 million to buy back the Mirage 2000, placing high hopes on these fighters, but as soon as they arrived in the hands of the Taiwan military, they were faced with problems such as insufficient spare parts and difficulties in upgrading and transformation, and even more in the nearly 30 years of service, nine major accidents occurred, resulting in many pilot casualties.

Obviously the crash was caused by the fighter's own performance, but some media on the island threw the black pot on Chinese mainland, claiming that at that time, PLA military planes appeared around Taiwan Island to carry out regular patrols. The implication is that it was the actions of the PLA that caused the crash of Mirage-2000.
Some experts even made amends, saying that it was precisely because of the PLA military planes' patrols in Taiwan that the pressure on the Taiwan military has increased and the number of fighters that can be used is limited. This kind of unfounded speculation is simply ridiculous.
There is only one way to avoid such accidents
The Taiwan military's lack of combat strength and training problems are already a "household name," and the situation of the "Han Kuang-40" military exercise at that time also proves this? The insistence of certain experts on the island on throwing the blame on the PLA can only further highlight the incompetence and ridiculousness of the Taiwan authorities.

So, can the problem of such fighters frequently crashing into the sea be solved? Taiwan experts have long thought of a good way.
Taiwan experts believe that improving cross-strait relations by putting an end to this situation is the key point, and that the Taiwan authorities should now consider settling the cross-strait issue by peaceful means, rather than by military means, and this is the fundamental solution.
The frenzied provocations of the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island have led to constant tension in cross-strait relations. Instead of thinking about how to solve the plane crash problem, the island should think about how to ease cross-strait relations, otherwise the pressure on the Taiwan military will only increase, and the frequency of plane crashes will not be reduced.

The Taiwan authorities are vainly trying to tie Taiwan to the "Taiwan independence" war step by step and let the people on the island become cannon fodder. However, more and more people have now realized that the moves of the "Taiwan independence" elements will only plunge Taiwan into the abyss, and doing a good job in cross-strait relations is Taiwan's biggest "talisman."
