As for the PLA's military exercises around the Taiwan Strait today and tomorrow, the Taiwan Defense Department recently announced in the evening that up to now, the Taiwan military has detected 15 PLA warships, 16 maritime police ships and 33 military aircraft and put them into exercises, and entered the Taiwan emergency zone. At present, relevant sea and air activities are still ongoing, and the defense department will timely announce the PLA's developments to the outside world; The Taiwan military also said that at present, including the Ministry of Gold and Horse Defense, they have maintained normal combat readiness without any improvement.
Sun Fang, spokesman of the Taiwan Defense Department, said at the press conference that the Emergency Response Center was set up immediately after the PLA announced the military exercises, and the "Chief" held a war readiness guidance meeting, requiring that, according to the principle of "preparing for war without asking for war", the joint situation monitoring and investigation should be strengthened, and the command and control level of emergency response at all levels should be improved. He also said that the recent developments in the sea and air space around Taiwan, including the mainland coast guard ships, as well as the routine exercises and training of some amphibious landing forces, and the dynamics of the rocket army, were closely mastered with the "Maritime Patrol Department" and other relevant units.
The Taiwan Defense Department also pointed out that the PLA's air and sea forces approached the 24 nautical mile line shortly after the start of the exercise, and Taiwan's military forces and sea patrols immediately responded. At present, the PLA's ships and fighters will remain outside the 24 nautical mile line. At present, there is no live firing in the sea and air.
Major General Huang Wenqi, Assistant Deputy Chief of the Information Office of the Taiwan Defense Department, said that in the past three years, the targeted exercises carried out by the mainland against Taiwan mainly focused on the troops in the eastern theater and cooperated with the southern theater and related support forces to carry out military exercises around Taiwan. Under the control of the Taiwan Army, the PLA Southern Theater and the Marine Police Force also participated in this exercise.
Qiu Shiqing, a military writer in the island and former chief of staff of the Taiwan Air Force, has analyzed the words "establish multiple strike positions", "simulate the attack of 'enemy' high-value military targets and detect cruisers" from the posts on the mainland's CCTV microblog. Unlike Pelosi's visit to Taiwan last time, this military exercise is to show the actual combat process to Taiwan and the United States.
Qiu Shiqing also carried out the situation deduction, thinking that if the situation was a real war, from 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. when the post was sent, the radar and Patriot missile positions in northern Taiwan might have been unable to carry out the interception task, and the air force might not have aircraft to take off at the airport in the west, "Jiashan in the east and Jian'an (Zhihang) might not be much better" In addition, the early warning capability that can be provided by the outer island position no longer exists, and according to the rapid response capability of the U.S. military, the first batch of ships of the 7th Fleet of the United States may still have several hours to arrive.
Guo Zhengliang, the former "legislator" of the Democratic Progressive Party, believed that this was a drill for combat readiness. This was the case in actual combat, but the mainland had not launched, and warships and fighter planes were already in combat positions. He said that compared with the 2022 round the Taiwan military exercise, the PLA's deployment is more comprehensive. He also analyzed that the PLA's strategy is to "gradually block and gradually paralyze". If one day the PLA suddenly starts military operations in the battle position, "you can't even hide".
