[Global Times Comprehensive Report] In order to guard against missile attacks by the People's Liberation Army, the Taiwan military has continuously strengthened the defense of major air bases in recent years.
Taiwan's air force plans to build a high-anti-explosion coefficient protective hangar in accordance with the policy of "one machine, one library" in the future, "to ensure that the Taiwan military's combat power can be brought into play in wartime."
But Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" said on the 15th that as the People's Liberation Army develops "short-range missiles that can penetrate any fortified fighter base, this may not be useful."
Taiwan's "China Times" stated on the 15th that the Taiwan military has specially prepared a budget of nearly NT$4.4 billion to strengthen the hangar defense. 'An 'anti-bomb fort' for missile strikes".
According to the report, the relevant anti-explosion indicators are "designed to counter the 1,500-pound warheads of the 'Dongfeng' series missiles of the People's Liberation Army."
But the South China Morning Post quoted military analysts as saying that the PLA's ballistic missile and multiple rocket launcher systems now use Beidou satellite navigation and terminal infrared imaging guidance to strike any hardened hangar and penetrate it with precision.
For example, the "Dongfeng-12" ground-to-ground tactical missile can be equipped with a fuel-air warhead to generate a high-temperature explosion to completely destroy the target.
Pingkov emphasized that the hit error of these missiles is less than 1 meter. "When Taiwan is facing the People's Liberation Army, all efforts to strengthen the hangar will be of no avail."
Hong Kong media also quoted sources as saying that the People's Liberation Army has developed a series of short-range missiles with different strike capabilities that can attack the Taiwan military. The hit error of all warheads is less than 1 meter, which greatly enhances their strike power.
