"At least 4 drones appear!"

The "PLA drone disturbing platform" has recently appeared on the Taiwan media title. Taiwan's "China Times" noticed on the 12th that within the past few days, the PLA drone not only spans the so -called "Strait midline" for the first time, but also appears in multiple models of inspection Taiwan Sea, and even the two different models on the same day have no models. Human -machine situation. Experts on the island are worried that "this is an important indicator of the PLA's familiarity with long -distance battlefield training and moving towards joint operations."

At least 4 models appear

The China Times said that the "Ministry of Defense" in Taiwan has released the line and model of the PLA drone "disturbing platform" since September: 5th, the first announcement of a BZK-007 drone in the PLA entered the "Southwest Airship" in Taiwan ; On the 8th, for the first time, a TB-001 drone was recognized for the first time "the northern section of the overcoming the middle line of the Strait"; on the 9th, a BZK-005 drone entered the "Southwest Airspace" in Taiwan; on the 10th, a BZK-005 none Human-machine entered the "Southwest Airspace"; on the 11th, a KVD-001 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft flew over the northern section of the "Strait Middle Line", and another BZK-007 drone entered the "Southwest Airspace". The Taiwan TVBS website said on the 12th that this was the first time that the Taiwan "Ministry of Defense" announced that the two PLA drones were "disturbed Taiwan" on the same day.

Taiwan media concluded that the four drone performances dispatched by the PLA have different performances. Among them, the BZK-007 reconnaissance drone is developed by low-cost civil technology. It is modified on the basis of light manned transport aircraft to replace the original manned cockpit into a large satellite antenna. The battle center outside thousands of kilometers, the battery life is 16-24 hours. On March 16 this year, the Ministry of Defense ’s Squad and the Massage Supervision Department monitored the BZK-007 to enter the Japanese Aviation Self-Defense Force to be responsible for alerting the air defense identification zone.

TB-001 is the largest drone in active service of the PLA, 10 meters long, winged 20 meters, a maximum flight height of 8,000 meters, a maximum battery life of 35 hours, and a maximum range of 6000 kilometers. Different types of missiles and laser guidance bombs can be mounted at most 24 missiles and bombs at the same time when reducing the needs of the voyage. BZK-005 is a mid-to-high-altitude remote reconnaissance drone with some stealth capacity. It is about 10 meters long, wingspan is 20 meters, and the maximum weight of 150 kg can be carried. The longest battery life is 40 hours.

The KVD001 drone discovered on the 11th adopted the take -off method of car ejection, with a maximum speed of 140 kilometers per hour, a maximum combat radius of 200 kilometers, and a maximum battery life of 10 hours. It can be used as a remote communications relay, battlefield reconnaissance surveillance, and target illuminating guidance to extend the communication links of land and air communication command to provide command communication in the PLA's land and air formations to effectively improve the land and airlines. Remote command ability.

"Warmly fighting for a long distance"

The China Times noticed that in the past, the PLA military planes flew back to the "Strait Middle Line" and returned after a short distance, and in recent days, it has been returning after the flight is quite distance. Military experts on the island believe that the PLA military aircraft accompanied by the drone "Pass the Middle Line of the Strait" and connect the dots and faces. It is an important indicator of "gradually moving towards joint operations." Shu Xiaohuang, an associate researcher at the "Communist Party of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China, and the PLA also believes that the PLA is" the opportunity to borrow, test the remote control of drones and the accuracy of positioning. "

Taiwan media also quoted sources as saying that since the PLA has increased the scale of patrolling in Taiwan, it has continued to send drones to the Taiwan Strait. , But the Taiwan military did not notice until recently. "

Lu Lishi, a Taiwan military expert, believes that the PLA dispatches the drone "disturbance platform" at least dates back to the Eastern theater of the PLA announced in the direction of the Taiwan Strait in November last year. "At that time, the Taiwan military should have noticed the PLA drone."

Experts on the island believe that large and medium -sized drones of the PLA can use functional functions such as battlefield reconnaissance, target calibration, and amendments. Su Ziyun, director of the Taiwan "Institute of Defense Strategy and Resources" in Taiwan, said, "If the Taiwan Strait is wrong, these drones can be used as satellites in the atmosphere, have strong reconnaissance capabilities, and have relatively low operating costs." The flight cost of driving aircraft and drones can be 25 times the difference.

The Taiwan Army responds to "heartlessness"

Facing the frequent dispatch of the PLA drone, although the Taiwan Army has proposed a lot of response, most of them are "weak". Su Ziyun suggested that Taiwan's "Chinese Academy of Sciences" is developing a laser air defense system. "It is also an important asymmetric means to use low costs to counter the opponent's weapon platform." However, according to experts, the high and medium -sized drone is more than thousands of meters. With modern infrared or optical probes and missiles, you can implement reconnaissance or attack on ground targets without a descending height. Moreover, they are larger and better resistant. Even high -power laser weapons developed by the U.S. military are difficult to cause serious damage to such goals in the high altitude. In addition, the Taiwan Army started to deploy the CS/MPQ-90 "Bee Eyes" radar in Kinmen and Matsu to assist the "Outer Island" garrison detecting the PLA drone and reconnaissance aircraft. Taiwan also plans to spend $ 700 million to purchase 4 US-made MQ-9B "Sea Guard" drones. The Taiwan Army hopes that MQ-9B will strengthen the reconnaissance capabilities of related sea and air. It is said that the MQ-9B body is 11.7 meters long, the wing show is 24 meters, and the maximum increase is 12,000 meters. The longest battery life is about 40 hours. The delivery of the machine has to wait for several years. " In addition, the PLA has long been equipped with a variety of advanced drones that have been equipped with the MQ-9B performance and even better. The Taiwan Army expects the recapture of the US-made drone to recapture the advantage.
