Taiwan military exercises "infinitely high" artillery firing, the PLA military plane flying around Taiwan is rare
[Global Times reporter Zhang Ruo] Taiwan’s "Chinese Academy of Sciences" intensively tested the performance of new artillery and missiles this week.
Taiwan’s "Ministry of National Defense" stated that PLA military aircraft continued to circle Taiwan in the southwest airspace on the 9th.
Taiwan’s “Ministry of National Defense” stated on the 9th that in the morning, the PLA Su-30 and J-10 fighters were detected to enter the response zone in southwestern airspace in multiple sorties. “Our air force can use air forces to monitor closely.”
Rumor has it that the People's Liberation Army "surrounded" Dongsha Island on the 9th, and the Taiwan Army called it "false information."
The pro-green Freedom Newspaper stated on the 9th that according to records, from 7:7 am to 9:30 that day, the PLA military planes were at 1500 meters, 2500 meters, 4000 meters, 4500 meters, 6000 meters, 7000 meters, and 9000 meters. The altitude "invaded" the southwest airspace of Taiwan, and the Taiwan military issued 24 broadcasts to drive away according to the regulations, "Attention, the Chinese military aircraft located in the southwest airspace of Taiwan at an altitude of 1,500 meters! You have entered our airspace, which affects our flight safety. Turn around immediately. Break away", "the intensive broadcast volume is the first time this year."
According to Lianhe News, according to the Taiwanese military’s firing notice on the sea, Taiwan’s "Chinese Academy of Sciences" has applied for and obtained permission to conduct intensive artillery and missile tests starting this week, from the 8th to the 17th, but compared to The maximum trajectory height of the artillery and missile tests of other projects is marked as "0-25,000 feet (1 ft = 0.3048 m)". The test fires conducted in the early morning on the 9th and 10th have the maximum trajectory height as "infinite height", which is dangerous. The sea area ranges from Lanyu to Yilan. The outside world has speculated that the extended range "Tiangong 3" air defense missile known as the "Taiwan version of THAAD" has been tested twice this year.
Some military fans said that the Continental Army’s aircraft was selected on the "infinite height" test firing day and launched the most frequent offensive around Taiwan this year. It is hard to say that there is no relationship between the two.
At this sensitive time, the US military plane was not absent. The Twitter "Aircraft Watch", which specializes in tracking military aircraft dynamics, said at 7 am on the 9th that an RC-135S reconnaissance aircraft of the US military took off from Kadena Air Force Base and arrived in the Yellow Sea for reconnaissance. At 11:36, "Airplane Watch" again issued a statement saying that RC-135S continued to detour in the area. Free Electronic News reported that the flight path of the military aircraft seemed to be densely packed with paper clips. Military fans surnamed Zheng said that the US military has not been absent from a sensitive point of time, which means a strong rivalry with the PLA. Liberty Newspaper specifically mentioned on the 9th that Taiwan’s “Ministry of National Defense” next year’s budget shows that the total “logistics and general service expenses” of all units of the Taiwan military in 2021 has climbed to NT$77 billion, an increase of about NT$3 billion over this year. The new Taiwan dollar has set a new high in recent years. "It is obvious that the national army has increased the logistics cost in response to the Communist dynamics."
