Taiwan's first self -made submarine "Haijie Warship" officially launched on Thursday (September 28).Taiwan's national defense scholars evaluate that the expansion of Taiwan's submarine troops has obvious benefits to Taiwan ’s defense operations, but how many submarine can manufacture in Taiwan depends on how many combat systems in the United States agree to sell.
Researcher Jie Zhong, a researcher at the Chinese Strategic Prospective Association, pointed out that according to the evaluation of the Taiwan Ministry of National Defense, if mainland Chinese submarines want to implement "joint blockade and combat" Taiwan, there are more than 10 deployed ambush areas, most of which are located inThe waters of eastern Taiwan.For the Taiwan Army, the most efficient anti -submarine method is that the anti -submarine and surface ships are vulnerable to weather and hydrological conditions, that is, before grabbing in mainland China, the submarine vessels are sent into several important ambush areas.
Jiezhong revealed that the Taiwan Army was based on the need to control during the war, and the number of important ambush areas was the benchmark as early as 23 years ago, and at least eight submarines were added to Taiwan.However, Jie Zhong believes that although the eight submarines have sufficient reasons to support it, in the end, Taiwan can build a few ships, and the decision -making power is still in the hands of Washington.
Jiezhong explained that due to the most critical submarine battle system in Taiwan's manufacturing submarine, it is to purchase from American merchants through the "commercial sales" model, but the US administrative department is still required to issue export permits.Therefore, in the case of almost the same redesign of the combat system replacement, Taiwan can finally create several submarines, depending on the consent of Washington to sell several combat systems to Taiwan.
Jiezhong said that in fact, Washington has always had a lot of questioning of Taiwan's manufacturing submarines, and believes that Taiwan should transfer the huge budget of the manufacturing submarine to the large number of procurement deployment and the short time obtaining time.. The "asymmetric weapon system" that forms a fast combat power; coupled with the current high -level Washington national security of Taiwan's military sales, it is generally opposed to Taiwan's procurement of traditional weapons.High -level veto.
Jiezhong was worried that the way Washington refused to approve the sale of the combat system, forcing Taiwan to greatly reduce the risk of subsequent submarine production quantity, and never completely excludes it.
Taiwan's first self -made submarine "Hai Yan warship" officially laid off in Kaohsiung on Thursday.Tsai Ing -wen, who presided over the water ceremony, said that this is an important equipment for the asymmetry and combat power of the navy, and it also sets a new milestone for the national defense independence.
