What breakthroughs are achieved by the PLA's "Sealing Island" exercise?

[Global Times Special Reporter Wei Qi Global Times reporter Liu Yang] On August 7, the Eastern theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army continued to conduct practical joint training in the sea airspace around Taiwan Island. From August 4th to 7th, the People's Liberation Army achieved multiple breakthroughs and multiple first -time training activities around Taiwan Island. Military experts said that during the training activities, the PLA ballistic missiles flew through the island for the first time. The sea and air forces realized the "freedom of action around the Taiwan Island", showing the strong will of the PLA "motion like a thunder". The strong ability of "beating" and the high self -confidence of "Summary of the Tribunal".

Real firepower drill, realize "freedom of firepower"

The real -time shooting exercise of the long -range rocket launcher opened the prelude to the training activities around Taima. On August 4, the Eastern theater announced that the Army of the PLA Eastern theater implemented a long -range firepower firing training in the Taiwan Strait to accurately crack down on a specific area of ​​the eastern part of the Taiwan Strait and achieve the expected results. Since then, the eastern theater announced that the Eastern Theater Rocket Army forces have implemented a multi -region and multi -model frequent firepower assault on the east of the Eastern Island. All the missiles of multiple models have been accurately hit targets, which tests the precise strike and regional rejection capacity.

Zhang Xuefeng believes that the real bombs on the first day showed that the PLA realized "freedom of firepower" and showed three levels of capabilities. The first level is that the rocket launcher has achieved at least the coverage of the outlying islands in Taiwan's so -called outer islands and the Taiwan Strait. In particular, the long -range guided rocket bullets have the advantages of high accuracy of missiles, long range of range, and high economy. From the previous drills, we can see that these rockets have achieved the precision of the rice -level strike, and they are highly economical. They can be used in large quantities. Essence So these islands are basically in the palm of the PLA.

The second ability is that the firepower can achieve the coverage of Taiwan ’s entire island, cracking down on command centers, air defense positions, missile positions, etc. The ballistic missile launched by the PLA is similar to the appearance of the "Dongfeng-15" series of ballistic missiles displayed in the previous parade. After continuous upgrading and improvement, this missile has greatly improved the precision and penetration capabilities, and can use different combat departments to fight different goals. The use of this tactical ballistic missile reflects the precise strike capabilities of the important goals of Taiwan's island, such as command centers, air defense radars, and air bases. In the third level, conventional missiles launch conventional missiles in the training area of ​​the eastern part of Taima and the northeast and southeast of Taima Island, which reflects China ’s refusal ability to interfere with out -of -the -China forces.

Experts confirmed in an interview with the media that the real -fire firepower test, the ballistic missiles traveled through the Taiwan island for the first time, and traveled through the airspace of the densely deployed of the "Patriot" missiles in Taiwan, and at the same time made precise blows under the eyelids of the "Aegis" system in the United States. Zhang Xuefeng said that this can be said to be "historic." Zhang Xuefeng said that with the advancement of technology, the ballistic missile has been able to achieve rail changing maneuverability, while the hypersonic missile can not only achieve vertical orbit changes, but also achieve a large range of horizontal maneuverability. And severe warning.

Joint sea and air training to achieve sea and air seal control

In addition to conducting remote rocket launchers and frequent firepower actual bomb shooting exercises, starting from August 4, the PLA's sea and air forces began to conduct practical training activities in the surrounding training area around Taiwan. According to the CCTV, the PLA Daily, and the Eastern theater, on August 4, the PLA Eastern theater Air Force and Navy Air Force continued to dispatch more than 100 many types of fighters such as fighters, bombers, early warning, and tankers. Cross -day and night joint reconnaissance, air refueling, air -control operations, ground assaults, support cover and other actual combat training training, more than 10 driving ships jointly closed control. Three days on the 5-7th, the eastern theater continued to conduct practical combat training in the northern, southwest, and eastern sea and air areas of Taiwan. , Test the combination of firepower against ground and long -distance air strike capabilities.

On August 7, the Eastern theater Air Force continuously dispatched multiple multi -type fighters to implement an island offensive combat drill. The exercise focused on the joint -to -earth strike and long -distance air strike capabilities. The simulation strike mission is completed. The multiple bomber formations follow the preset routes to run through the north and south at the same time crossing the Taiwan Strait in both directions.

Some analysts believe that the training activities around the island this time have fully practiced the entire process of conducting sea -air seal control campaigns on large islands. For large -scale islands to conduct sea -air seal -control operations, it usually conducts firepower strikes, and uses ballistic missiles and cruise missiles to accurately "point acupoint" strikes, eliminating the opponent's close air defense position and command center. Then use sea and air forces to further strike high -density and high -intensity, and use aviation forces to perform electromagnetic interference and air defense suppression of combat, making it difficult for the other party to restore combat capabilities in a short time.

Then, on this basis, it is necessary to send aviation soldiers and maritime forces to carry out maritime patrols, air patrols and air ban on air, and cut off the island and the outside world. At the same time as the combat operation, some air defense, anti -ships and so -called source strike platforms that appear on the island must be further cracking down on the island. In this way, a better -sealing combat situation can be formed.

Some analysts believe that the training activities around the Taiwan Strait this time are basically carried out in accordance with this procedure. In the war, under such a joint blow, the Taiwan army's defense system and anti -system combat system will be disintegrated, so that the PLA can block Taiwan Island for a long time, cut off it to contact the outside world, disintegrate the morale of the other party, and for my follow -up Conditions for combat. To the east coast of Taimao, it is better to walk in the leisure court

On August 5th, the "PLA Daily" social media account released a photo of the PLA naval ships close to the waters of the waters around the Taiwan Island. In this photo, a PLA naval warrior stood on the deck and was using a telescope for watching observation. Not far away, it was an antique warship of a Taiwanese army. Looking at it from a distance, it is Taiwan Island. It is generally believed that this is the coast of the east side of the Taima Island, near Hualien. Although this photo does not have the shock of the missiles and no missiles, and there is no tense atmosphere of the whole ship's "pulling first" into the state of battle, it shows the self -confidence of the PLA naval officers and soldiers "regardless of the wind and waves." At the same time, this can be said to be a moment of historical significance, and it has very realistic military significance.

The Taiwan Army believes that during the west of the Central Mountains in Taiwan, it is more dangerous, so a large number of fighters will be transferred to the underground base east of the Central Mountains, such as the Jiashan Air Force Base near Hualien. According to the Taiwan Army's ideas, these eastern bases can avoid the first wave of the PLA. After the PLA's first hit, these fighters can refuel and hang up at the underground base to take off quickly. This sailing shows that the PLA ship is on the coast of the east side of Taima. It can be said that it is near the door of some bases on the east bank, and even near the Jiashan base. The Taiwan Army flew together in the Jiashan base and the Hualien base, and as soon as the lift was liter, under the radar surveillance of the PLA ship, it was within the crackdown of air defense missiles. At the same time, the maritime forces located in the east can effectively refuse external forces interference with the cooperation of shore -based missiles and aviation. In addition, Meng Xiangqing, a professor at the National Defense University, said that the training of the Eastern theater completely broke the so -called "strait midline" and did not have any "strait midline" in the eyes of the PLA. Zhang Xuefeng said that the activity of the PLA aircraft in the Taiwan Strait and the eastern part of the Taiwan Island shows that the PLA has realized "freedom of action around the Taiwan island", which shows that the entire training activity is completely under the control of the PLA, and fully grasped the dominance and initiative.
