Characteristics allow attacking Taiwan from the mainland: firing was carried out in China using updated DF-15 missiles

29

The Chinese military command reported on the missile tests, which were carried out in a desert area in the northwest of the PRC. The reports say that we are talking about a new type of short-range missiles.

From a report from the Chinese CCTV channel, citing the military:



These missiles are capable of striking large enemy units, including well-defended ones. Their use can paralyze entire enemy systems with key objects. They enhance the combat capabilities of the People's Liberation Army of China to defend sovereignty and territorial integrity, including the Taiwan issue.

Rocket firing was carried out by servicemen of the 1st PLA Missile Brigade. The target was struck using two missiles. These are updated modifications of the DF-15 missiles - missiles of the operational-tactical complex (OTRK), on which nuclear warheads can also be installed.

At the same time, the exact distance to the targets, which were "well-fortified positions of the conditional enemy", is not named. A rather streamlined concept of “several hundred kilometers” appears in the report.

In the basic version, such missiles are capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 600 km. The updated variants, as previously reported, can "get the enemy" at a greater distance. These missile characteristics enable the PLA to attack Taiwan from the mainland.

The updated DF-15s feature more advanced warheads that incorporate anti-jamming technology. Also, an updated guidance system is used on new versions of Chinese missiles.

Combat missile firing in northwest China was carried out against the backdrop of the dispatch of several warships and anti-submarine aircraft to the Taiwan Strait. During the exercise, the landing of the assault force was practiced with the assault of the positions of the conditional enemy.

      Well, China is ready to take revenge. There is only one alternative to negotiate. The unipolar world fades into oblivion. Hoping for help from the "abroad" is not the best policy.

      To practice strikes, that's right. And "little green men" are better. I think the PRC will choose them.

      Taiwan is increasingly heard in Chinese rhetoric ... Will the US intercede for Taiwan? Doubts gnaw big. The hegemon looks weak lately. No, the rhetoric is formidable, there is nowhere to go, but after all, everything is determined not by rhetoric ...

      If China manages to capture Taiwan, and America retreats, then China will play
      appetite and beyond: South China Sea, southern Japanese islands, northern Vietnam.
      Further - the Far East of Russia, lost by the Qing empire in the 19th century.
      It is more profitable for Russia to lose China in the battle for Taiwan.

        Agree. The Chinese even consider Baikal theirs. In China, there is a museum of the occupation where many Russian territories are considered Chinese.

        Especially considering that the United States was already going to use nuclear weapons and imported everything necessary for this to Taiwan. It is important for Russia that in the event of the beginning of the Chinese unification, the wind would blow towards Japan.

        Well, by itself, the flight of China in the fulfillment of an age-old national dream will put China in its place very strongly. Do not forget that on the maps of China, part of the territory of the neighboring northern country is designated as originally Chinese.

        It may not be a pity for Taiwan, but regardless of the results of the unification, Taiwan will cease to exist in the form in which it exists now.

          Why is it a pity?
          Taiwan will cease to be China or will it not be an island or will it be forbidden to speak Chinese?

          Liberators are of course sad and cry.
          The pro-American elite in Taiwan will lose ground.
          Well this is a worldwide trend,
          The USA is losing influence in the world.

          Those who were focused on subjugation to the US and the collective west are upset. Others, on the contrary, perceive such changes with enthusiasm.

            It is a pity for Taiwan in the sense that, firstly, they are already 40 years old, they live quite stable and balanced. Either the Japanese assimilated them, then Chiang Kai Shi returned them back to their origins. Moreover, what was cooler is difficult to say, an example of this is the Uighurs in present-day China.
            At the moment, the indicators of economic development in Taiwan are slightly higher than the indicators of the PRC, in terms of income, for example, per capita. And in terms of median income, it is higher than in the United States itself. Whatever the outcome of the unification, for the people of Taiwan, radical changes in the standard of living are inevitable. It doesn't matter who wins there, the liberals who are crying or the communists who are laughing.

        Here, whatever one may say, everything is bad.
        Imagine that China breaks off with Taiwan and it retreats, America goes on the offensive,
        appetite will play out and so on ...
        And there is the Far East again, Siberia ...

        Unlike the countries and regions you listed, Russia has nuclear weapons and Russia will defend its territory itself without help and hope for anyone! But everyone else you mentioned does NOT need to rely on the United States, in particular, and the Anglo-Saxons in general.

        Yes, here so much everyone loves dictators, so much cheers for them, as if they were "native fathers" .... Why would you want the Chinese dictator Xin-Zipin to seize the Taiwanese. Why do you need this? Do you want everyone to be the slaves of dictators?

            kind Mrs. Lara Croft, I didn't know she was of African descent. However, I will not stand here apologizing for the mistakes of my fathers and history, and wanting to judge the past by the standards of the present and by what fools do. However, if she likes the story, she will definitely find out the mistakes of her ancestors, correct them. Hope you like dog soup? This way he will get along well with the future masters of the world, whom you seem to admire so much. Best regards, Mrs Croft.

                Dear Mrs Croft, despite the nickname that refers to a young age, the fact that you are persistent in talking about what happened 76 years ago, let alone Napoleon, makes me think that he is already at a certain age. So, politely, I will try to explain to you that dogs are not cooked in Italy. But this is a very popular meat among the Chinese, which she dispassionately admires, so I limited myself to asking her to learn the recipe, not eat it. To each his own. Of course, madam, as history teaches, the Italians attacked Russia and lost. However, since I am politely addressing my dear grandmother, I will not mention the wars that Russia lost. If we turn to history, every nation has a light and a shadow. So I leave her alone with her Chinese dreams of fame, too bad they are not Russian. Best wishes as always.
