The actual bomb firepower exercise conducted by the eastern theater on the 4th caused heated discussions on the island of Taiwan. The Taiwan authorities responded that all units of the Taiwan army had timely grasping the launch dynamics and launched the relevant defense system to rest assured.

Many people question why the Taiwan authorities do not pull the air defense alert? Why not use the "Patriot" missile to intercept the Dongfeng missile?

Lu Lishi, the captain of the Taiwan Navy, said that the Taiwan authorities did not pull the air defense alert because the Dongfeng ballistic missiles were too high to surpass the 100 -kilometer "Carmen Line" and not in Taiwan's "leading air", so the air defense alert did not sound.

Taiwan military expert Shi Xiaowei said that the real -missile realm of this missile in the mainland will definitely pass through Taiwan, and the Taiwan authorities have not launched the "Patriot" missile interception. On the one hand, the "Patriot" missile is too expensive, and on the other hand It may not be able to stop.

Shi Xiaowei pointed out that the "Patriot" missile is very expensive, and the cost of a Dongfeng 15-B missile is probably one-third of the "Patriot" missile. Usually intercepting a ballistic missile, to hit two missiles, it is equivalent to 6 times the price.

"And Dongfeng's ballistic is very high, the" Patriot "missile may not be stopped, so let it pass." Shi Xiaowei said.
