Green media explodes Taiwan Air Force to strengthen drill "warning shooting", netizens mocking "only bragging"
[Global Network Reporter Yin Yanhui] Taiwan’s pro-green media "Freedom Times" reported on December 18 that in response to the continuous "harassment" of PLA military aircraft, since early December, the Taiwan Air Force has requested all bases to strengthen the so-called "warning shooting exercise". Pilots of various types of fighters simulate the "enemy situation" in the air and exercise their ability to deal with emergencies.
In this regard, some netizens said, "Your mouth is the most powerful" and "only bragging."
According to the report, in response to the PLA's military aircraft entering the southwest airspace and crossing the "center of the strait", in addition to the announced specific contingency measures, the Taiwan defense department recently required the air force to formulate air combat patrols (CAP), emergency takeoff interception, and airborne operations. The aircraft can switch to standard operating procedures at any time, and further define the actual response details for monitoring and driving away conditions. Every pilot must be familiar with all procedures and actions, and be able to respond once the "enemy aircraft" enters the "airspace" Responsiveness.
According to reports, a senior pilot on the island revealed that starting from early December, bases in Chiayi, Hualien, Qingquangang, Hsinchu, Tainan, and Magong have required the second aircraft formation to start training, and the team leader will implement "warnings based on various conditions." Shooting drill".
The report quoted retired Taiwanese pilots as saying that at present, the Taiwan Air Force will select mature and experienced pilots to serve as the leader to avoid gun misfires. However, because the general "Air Force Commander" down to the lieutenant pilot, no one has ever had this kind of experience. Once the experience of firing a cannon and warning shooting is met, the team leader's psychological quality and ad hoc judgment will be a big test.
Taiwan’s “Air Force Command” said that in the face of the PLA’s military aircraft “disturbing Taiwan”, it has indeed been included in the normal training courses according to various handling procedures, and no additional emergency shooting training has been added.
In the comment section of the Taiwan media, some netizens left a message about the matter, saying, "Is it okay to hit the mouth?" "Bullish (to describe someone telling lies or big talk) is less, and I dare not fight at all!"
Someone also left a message on Facebook saying, "Is Taiwan a country? Airspace?" "It just brags, like a dish."
Taiwan media said a few days ago that the PLA military planes report every day, exhausting the Taiwan Air Force.
The DPP "Legislative" He Zhiwei said that Taiwan Air Force planes do not need to "fly with them" every time, because this not only consumes nearly one million Taiwan dollars in fuel costs, but also changes the vacation time of Taiwan soldiers. not enough.
Regarding the PLA military aircraft patrolling the Taiwan Strait, the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Tan Kefei, once stated that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. The PLA organizes actual military exercises in the Taiwan Strait region to demonstrate its determination and ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. It targets the interference of external forces and the very small number of "Taiwan independence" separatists and their separatist activities. Disregarding the safety and well-being of the Taiwan compatriots, the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party authorities continue to provoke cross-strait confrontation and "independence" provocations, jeopardizing peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. This plan is doomed to fail. If the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces dared to split Taiwan from China in any name and by any means, we will resolutely defeat it at all costs.
