Escalation in the Taiwan strait as the Taiwanese president boldly confirms US troops are present on the Island

[Beast]

She is smart. The US troops on the island will hinder chinese warmongers to start the war.
Imagine, US service members would be killed the US Congress wound authorize a full retaliation. Thing would escalate quickly.
Personally I think Ccp just does shadow boxing. Taiwan does not fit into scheme where China wound put its fate on the poker table.
Chinese wars against Vietnam, Korea and India do fit better.

LOL... US Iraq army base hit by Iran ballistic missile and they dont even bother to retaliate and we have cheerleader claim US will retaliate against China.

I don't get spooked by Urdu speaking Kolkata Dadas.

Let's hear some of those Urdu words, have the Pakistani brothers check your Kolkata Bihari Urdu.

I guess you'd fancy getting banned again.

The idiot you quoted had an Indian flag in the beginning. You could be right about him being a Jai fool.

Do you know that:
Taiwan is 130 km away from the mainland, and China's long-range rocket-gun has a range of 480 km. The Nanjing Military Region has 40 rocket gun battalions, more than 500 long-range rockets gun, and each vehicle launches 48 rockets in one round.
The rocket will fire first and destroy all known targets. We don't care about any interception system. If 240k rockets are not enough, we can repeat it. Then the other weapons come on.
If Taipei can defend for 24 hours, it will be a miracle.

You know since Taiwan is only 130km away, so China is also 130km vice versa and Taiwan can launch cruise missiles at China's nuclear plants, power plants, shipyards, etc.

LOL... US Iraq army base hit by Iran ballistic missile and they dont even bother to retaliate and we have cheerleader claim US will retaliate against China.

We killed their general and with all that ballistic missile attack they didn't kill 1 American soldier. So this was for their public consumption to make it look tough even though they blew their own passenger plane down, increasing the cost of lives.

On the mainland side is Fujian Province, without any important industrial and nuclear facilities. Fujian's main economy is aquatic products, agriculture and entrepot trade with Taiwan.
China's important facilities and military industry are in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi and other provinces. They are in inland China, not in coastal provinces.

They would need about 2500km range cruise missiles. You think Taiwan is incapable of making such missiles? Not to mention there are so many targets in the coastal areas of China you can target ports, shipyards, powerplants, airbases, etc.

Yes, they don't. Obviously, you don't know Taiwan.

So many Indians masquerading as Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.

Only drama-girls and some Indian (feminine) males have this habit of acting as other people and getting a kick out of it.

I thought it was the US military adopting the taliban model lolz. I mean who loses after using all those weapons and 2.6 trillion dollars? While the other side wears sandals and have AK47. I think embarrassment is a really small word for it.
This is what u are saying but its not what china thinks. Taiwan proximity to mainland means china dont need to send anyone before scorching the Island. We all know the US and how unreliable a partner it is. If war errupts the US will do nothing, as usual. Its all just cheerleading and nothing more. We all know that much history atleast lolz.

This is now November so it is too late to launch an amphibious invasion fleet, so we can write off those missile launches for a few more months. Plenty enough time for US to increase Taiwanese air defense stockpile.

According to Director of Intelligence (Pacific command), they have war gamed Invasion of Taiwan scenario. In their assessment Chinese will use Shock n Awe method that they throughly studied after Gulf war.

That’s means 30 to 45 days of continuous and relentless pounding. I don’t things Taiwanese will want that. I think they will most probably cut some deal with Xi jipeng and reunite. We all know US isn’t fighting China for Taiwan. It just not gonna happen.

I have pointed out the many problems for China before, and no one here managed to get around those problems.

First, the weather and tidal patterns in the strait allows a 3-weeks max window to launch an invasion fleet. That means BOTH sides know almost to the day when that fleet must leave.

Second, because the launch window is known, that mean Taiwan, unlike Iraq, will know when the enemy bombardment will begin.

Most people in this forum do not study military history. They study, or thinks they study, things like weapons specs and manpower numbers, and they get erections out of those numbers.

Why is the element of surprise so critical in combat and war? Most people in this forum give one-dimensional answer.

I don’t think Director of Intel (PACOM) Capt James E Fanell was getting an erection when he stated, Chinese have thousand and thousand of ballistics missile and rockets arrayed on their east coast and they will target Taiwanese key nodes military installations.

Chinese can and most likely will simply bombard Taiwan until there is no defense structure remaining and area is safe enough to airlift troops into Taiwan.

Again...Why is the element of surprise critical in combat and war? Keep in mind that China will not be able to surprise Taiwan.

Plenty of nonsense.. Taiwan defence and will to defend is almost non existent.

If China wanted to invaded Taiwan. Most of the defense will be taken out by ballistic missile or MRL.

Airforce will take out small remaining pocket Taiwan resistant.

Helo ops will ferry large number of special ops troops over the narrow 130km strait. Gunship will escort.

Most Taiwan heavy armour and vehicle by then will be destroyed by PLA rocket and PGM launched from aircraft. Small number of armour can be easily taken out by ATGM and Z-10 gunship.

China has more than a thousand helo. 2 rounds of trip are enough to bring 25000-30000 elite special forces to capture Taipei and suppressed further ROC troops. They can be further reinforce by airborne corps from Y-20 and Y-9 once area of landing are secured by spearhead forces.

Mobility of special ops forces can be rapidly provided by these special vehicle mean for rapid deploy with speed intended.

Weather plays a very minor role in affecting recaptured of Taiwan.

I don’t think Chinese are counting on any surprise anyway. US satellites are watching the area 24/7. Chinese will use good ol’ relentless pounding from Chinese coast until Taiwan surrenders.

Then we will use your arguments -- Why have China not attack Taiwan yet if China's offense is so overwhelming?

To american, violence and war are the only solution. Chinese civilization why can survive for 3000 years becos we are pragmatic and resourceful.
