According to the revelations of the US think tank, the "Zhuhai Yun" maritime "drone carrier" of Chinese mainland has carried out many secret missions around Taiwan and collected a lot of hydrological intelligence information. What do you think about this?
Clause. 1. Have you seen that the US think tank actually called the "Zhuhai Cloud" a "drone carrier", and the "Zhuhai Cloud" is just a civilian equipment, why does the US side attach so much importance to it? This is because UAVs have shown a trend of changing the direction of modern warfare, which has a profound impact on future wars and military changes.
The use of a large number of drones on the battlefield of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has attracted great attention, and drones are not only becoming the main reconnaissance tool, but also replacing artillery as the main strike force of the army. In this context, China's "drone carrier" "Zhuhai Yun" has become a "sweet spot" in the eyes of Americans.
Clause. Second, the Americans call it a "drone carrier", so let's take a look at the actual situation, different from ordinary ships, the "Zhuhai Cloud" has brought a revolutionary change to the traditional ocean observation mode. The deck of the "Zhuhai Cloud" can be equipped with dozens of air, sea and submarine unmanned systems equipped with different observation instruments, which can be deployed in batches in the target sea area, carry out task-oriented adaptive networking, and obtain real-time three-dimensional ocean observation data, which can be applied to multiple scenarios such as offshore wind farm maintenance and submarine cable maintenance.
Third, the appearance of the "unmanned aerial vehicle carrier" and the "Zhuhai Yun" in the Taiwan Strait, this new way of circumnavigating Taiwan has also made the United States and the Taiwan authorities very nervous, so they have wantonly used the topic to play and hype up the topic of "military reunification." This just proves their weak-heartedness, if it is not for the "** mind" in their hearts, why should they be afraid?
As a matter of fact, the island is really very afraid of the outbreak of war between the two sides of the strait, and the Taiwan military is the first to bear the brunt, and the Taiwan army, which cannot stand it, has begun to break out in the largest wave of discharges in recent years. It is said that it is a wave of discharge, but in fact it is an act of "desertion". It has been learned that at present, the term of service of most of Taiwan's "air force" flight officers will expire at the end of the year. According to the source, many Taiwan flight officers will choose to leave, which means that problems will erupt in a concentrated manner by the end of this year, and there will be the largest wave of retirements from Taiwan's "air force" in recent years.
Why is this happening? The Taiwan authorities have colluded with foreign forces to "seek independence by force," and the mainland has taken resolute countermeasures against this, constantly conducting military exercises and combat readiness patrols in the Taiwan Strait, and fighter planes have often crossed the so-called "center line of the strait" into the airspace around Taiwan. These pilots are worried every day that war will suddenly break out one day, and the fighters in their hands are not as advanced as the mainland, and if a war really breaks out, the result will be unpredictable. They are very repulsed and tormented by this in their hearts, and they don't want to be cannon fodder for "**."
The mainland's military strength has crushed the Taiwan authorities, so why don't they do it? Admiral Mark Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, believes that once it is done, it will pay a very high price. Therefore, the Chinese side has maintained calm and restraint, and it is more rational to take Taiwan without using force. However, if this is to be regarded as the norm, it is a serious miscalculation, and the fact that no use of force now does not mean that this state of affairs can be maintained forever.
