With regard to the incident of the fishing boat being knocked over, it has been more than half a month since the incident occurred, and more than 10 cross-strait talks have been held. You may feel that you don't get what you want at the negotiation table, and the Kinmen Coast Guard ships are not opponents of the mainland coast guard, so they want to make a big move at sea and dispatch powerful large-tonnage coast guard ships to exert pressure to get more "returns". Taiwan's "Coast Guard" actually went crazy and sent the 3,000-ton Yilan ship to Kinmen at such a tense moment.
As the main force of Taiwan's "Coast Guard," the Yilan was originally deployed in northern Taiwan and undertook tasks including patrolling and protecting fishing on the Diaoyu Islands, but it is rarely seen on the Diaoyu Islands. From a large number of previous releases**, it can be seen that the Japan Coast Guard ships are gently enforced the law, and the water cannon with a range of 120 meters is symbolically splashed into the water. However, in the "law enforcement" of mainland fishing vessels, it has always maintained a tough posture, often aiming at key parts such as the cockpit of fishing boats.
On February 28, the Xuanlan sailed out of Taipei and entered the central part of the Taiwan Strait from the southwest, with the ultimate goal of heading to Kinmen to serve as a capital ship against mainland coast guard ships. At present, the number of coast guard ships and fishery administration ships concentrated in the Xiajin sea area has reached more than 10, and the tonnage of different sizes and ** will be relatively weak, and if compared with the Yilan ship, it may be at a disadvantage.
I usually bully mainland fishing boats very hard
The Yilan ship, which was launched in 2014, is currently the largest ship equipped by Taiwan's "Coast Guard", with a full load displacement of 3,719 tons, which is equivalent to a frigate, and a maximum speed of 24 knots is not bad. The age of the ship is not large, the tonnage is not small, and the supporting ** is also quite powerful, including 1 40 mm naval gun, 2 20 mm guns, as well as machine guns, water cannons, etc., if you only carry out the task of protecting fishing at sea, the vast majority of ships are capable of coping.
Its destination for this trip is Kinmen, and during this time, many mainland coast guard ships have also gathered, including 14608 ships, 2202 ships, 2203 ships, and 2103 ships. The 14608 ship is more than 4000 tons, the volume is large enough but it is not equipped with large-caliber artillery, the Haijing 2202 and 2203 ships, which are converted from the Navy's Type 053H2G frigates. Although the latter two are relatively old, they have characteristics, they are serious ** modified hull strength suitable for impact, although the main gun and missiles are removed, but still retain 4 37 mm close defense guns.
Yilan ship
The displacement of the 2203 ships, 2202 ships, and 2203 ships of the Coast Guard is relatively weak, with less than 2,000 tons, and there is obviously still a certain gap between the firepower and tonnage of the Yilan ships. If nothing else, if the Yilan ship successfully arrives in the waters of Kinmen, it can cooperate with more than 10 small boats of the Kinmen Coast Guard to join forces, and at least have a chance to confront the mainland coast guard head-on and will not run away directly. If this kind of thing is really allowed to happen, then it may encourage the arrogance of Taiwan's "Coast Guard" at the negotiation table, and sure enough, the mainland coast guard is prepared, and on the 29th, it directly dispatched the 3306 ship of the coast guard from Guangzhou to block the route of the Yilan ship to Kinmen.
The situation is different after the appearance of the 3306 ship and the 3306 ship of the coast guard, this is not an ordinary coast guard ship, it is built on the basis of the hull of the Type 054A frigate. The exterior styling is no different from that of the Type 054A frigate, with a critical full load displacement of more than 4,000 tons and a maximum speed of 28 knots. It is built more solidly with the first standard, and the tonnage has reached the main level of the coast guard, and the speed is in a leading position, and the comprehensive strength is much stronger than that of Yilan.
Moreover, the 3306 ship is more like the Second Navy, equipped with 76 mm main guns, with a maximum range of 17 kilometers and a maximum fire height of 6 kilometers, which can not only attack sea targets, but also intercept air targets. Coupled with two 630 type close defense guns, it covers all aspects of the law enforcement process at sea from far to near, no matter how you look at it, it is not like a coast guard ship more like **, and the equipment is obviously better than that of the Yilan ship.
Haijing 3306 ship
The Yilan ship really has a different effect, the Yilan ship encountered the 3306 ship of the Shanghai Police "interception", and its self-confidence was immediately hit by a major blow, although the two sides still have a distance of dozens of kilometers, but the Yilan ship almost did not dare to move and stayed in place. However, looking at the tracks of the two sides from the AIS ship news network, the mainland coast guard ship 2103 confronted the Yilan ship head-on today, and the coast guard ship 3306 was "observing" on the side, ready to take action at any time. Obviously, it is impossible for the Yilan ship to go to Kinmen, and Taiwan's "Coast Guard" originally wanted to show off its muscles, but now it is very embarrassing to mess up and start a dilemma.
