[BREAKING] TAIWAN TO DEPLOY 1,400+ SUPERSONIC ANTI-SHIP MISSILES ALONG WEST COAST. That’s nearly 1 missile for every single kilometer of coastline. Taiwan might become China's Iran. https://www.eurasiantimes.com/taiwan-set-to-become-the-country-with-the-highest-density-of-anti-ship-missile-porcupine-strategy-to-bleed-china/
>>532885669Sounds cool ngl
Xi does nothing because that's all he can do
>>532885669Chinkz are just going to send thousands of drone boat until they run out of ammo
>>532886450>*mines the coast*Just admit the current meta is imbalanced in favor of the defenders.Nukes have stifled real military development
>>532886450Why, Taiwan will just reunify in another 10 years and all those missiles will be pointed at zogboats
>>532886655Also digits
>>532886655>just 2 more 5-year plans before the peaceful reunification of Taiwan
china will not send any ships to taiwan. they're going to spend like two months sending a million drones and missiles until the entire island looks like a crater.
>>532885669>1400Rookie numbers, won't last even a week.
>>532885669>[BREAKING] TAIWAN TO DEPLOY 1,400+ SUPERSONIC ANTI-SHIP MISSILES ALONG WEST COAST.All missiles are supersonic.
>>532886555Where have you been? The advantage is almost always with the defenders, as far back in the ancient world with shield walls, to castles and fortresses, to trench warfare. The modern doctrine of shock and awe only works with vastly inferior enemies.
>>532886729See>>532874280
>>532886792>put 1 inch of soil over missile>now invisibleunless you want to bomb every square inch of taiwanese coastline you are not taking those missiles out lol
>>532886877>as far back in the ancient world with shield walls,Catapults and Trevouches>FortressesCannons>TrenchTanks.What do we have now against drones?Nothing because every offensive response will boil down to >NOOOOOOOOOOOOKS
>>532885669IMO a peaceful reunification where the Taiwanese voluntarily join the PRC is the most likely outcome.
>>532887107The most likely peaceful outcome is China just literally buying Taiwan making all Taiwanese extremely rich
>>532885669Population distribution & topography imply one tsunami bomb in the Strait and the war would be over after 1 hour or so.
>>532886555The defenders advantage is nulled out due to being on an island that imports 99% of their energy and 70% of their food.
>>532887376>Cuba>Race mixed shithole>Malnourished old people
>>532885669Sink the chink
>>532887003Except China is watching and mapping everything Taiwan does through satellites, likely assisted by AI
>>532887146Yeah, basically this. Most young Taiwanese like and are sympathetic to the mainland more than their parents or grandparents, realistically.
>>532887646>get truck with canopy>drive slowly along coastline>under cover, embed missiles into the dirt at random intervalsthey should hire me as a consultant or something
>>532887854also, embed 5 decoy missiles for every real missile, just to annoy the chinese more
>>532887854Anon, they have real-time tracking even when using western commercial satellites.>>532887933They have millions of drones, they don't care if there's 1K or 100K targets.
>china's iranchink manufacturing supremacy is so complete it's literally backstopping both sides of the iran war, the entire american military supply chain is dependent on china, all the missles/interceptors we shoot need to be replenished with chinese rare earths>1300 anti ship missilesthey're literally next door to taiwan they can starch the entire island with their short range hyper sonics, send drone swarms constantly every day, and blockade the island without a ground invasion
>>532888081they can't track you if they can't see you under cover thoughif you can make a plastic missile decoy for $10 and the drone costs $20,000 then you will win
>>532887032>Catapults and trebuchetsOnly work if you can completely encircled a well defended position. They are used for breaking down walls after a castle has been starved. It also takes time to construct. Usually from a defended position on the attackers side.>CanonsTrench warfare. >Tanks I'll give you that, it's modern calvery, expect you can use them in urban warfare as well. However drones are making takes obsolete.>NukesIt's a wild card. However I'm confident that they will be used as a last resort or opening move. Unless total destruction is the goal. Right now drones have shifted the advantage back to defending.
>>532888288>he's still living in the past and gobbles up retarded propagandaMany such cases.
>>532885669Imagine if we just give them a million of those shahed knock-offs we developed.Lmao, get fukd chang
>>532886450Fpv drones are cheaper.Looks like we are unirronically headed toward a future of fully automated drone swarm warfare.Kino or cring?
>>532885669Cant china hit taiwan with artillery.
>>532885669>China attacks the east coast
>>532888721you could probably float a boat out to fiber optic drone range from taiwan and attack them with a lot of FPVs from 50km standoff
Doesn't fucking matter. KMT is going to win the next election and their gilf leader is currently glazing Xi in China
>>532886555Yeah we are definitely back into a ww1 era trench warfare stalemate situation.Good news is we might actually find ourselves in a situation envisioned by the likes of Dr gatling when he invented the gatling gun.If attempts at offensive warfare become futile, then war itself becomes obsolete.Peoole will never stop fighting out of sense of kindness and compassion, but if diplomacy becomes the only viable way to achieve strategic goals then we might actually find ourselves in a situation where world peace is possible.
Hype. China fields tens of thousands of advanced missiles like YJ-12/18, DF-21/26, aircrafts, submarines and EW systems to suppress fixed/mobile launchers pre-landing via massive barrages. Taiwans missiles are expensive, production very slow (200/year, kek) and vulnerable to preemptive strikes, they lack sufficient numbers/depth for sustained defense against Chinas amphibious fleet scale.
>>532886792That would be strategically retarded as it would cost china all of their diplomatic relations and they would gain a bombed-out shithole that they would need to spend a decade rebuilding, while fighting an insurgency of millions of people pissed off that their homes were destroyed.Trust me, we have a fair amount of experience with this problem.
>>532885669I dont think anti ship missiles matter. china will only invade once all air defense and the whole military is bombed into the stone age. Which would require a ww2 style firebombing of japan type of situation of total air control etc. since taiwan would surely put military objects in residential areas, carpet bombing and firebombing would be a neccessity i think.Thats why i think the invasion of taiwan wont ever happen, at least not in our lifetimes.
>>532887032Nah, the counter to drone swarms will be AI based targeting and mobile laser air defense systems.We might actually see maneuver warfare move back to a formation-based model so that large troop formations can all stay under the air defense umbrella.Think Israeli "dome" systems, but miniaturized to be mobile and cheaper.Infantry will be reduced to policing forces with most Frontline combat being performed by drone operator teams working with artillery support.
>>532889163That's the hopeful view on it, but we both know greed is what produces war. Ideology is just the cover for it. It's always been about greed. It'll go from volunteer armies, to conscription, and then penal armies. As any volunteers will dry up, mass draft dodging will result in forced conscription, and lastly penal corps when the man power dries up or is no longer viable.
>>532887032I can actually see us developing sort of a variation on tanks that is just a mobile, armored, drone swarm carrier.It would do for land warfare what aircraft carriers did to naval combat with conventional tanks being analogous to battleships.Think an APC with an advanced sensor suite, laser-based anti drone system, and an on-board stockpile of fpv drones and operating stations for operators.
>>532886655This. In 5 years Taiwan will be begging for unification.
>>532887646We have been doing the same to iran for years and with better capabilities. As we have seen, that works for large systems, but smaller decentralized systems are mobile and stealthy enough enough to still be a pain in the ass.The iran war has been very informative and will no doubt inform strategic planning for everyone for decades.
>>532889825I doubt that.People confuse greed with malice.The idea that wealthy capitalists want to kill everyone is straight up Marxist brainwashing.No, what they want is to sell everyone cheap shit with as high a profit margin as possible.They can't sell you garbage if youre dead.The reason they send poor people into meat grinders isnt because they want them to die.They do it because they dont care about them and human wave tactics do work sometimes.So if you can sacrifice a million worthless peasants to secure control of a critical resource, fuck yes they will do that.My point, is that the paradigm we are moving to suggests that no amount of meat will make human waves successful.We will have to wait for the conclusion of the Ukraine war to know if that theory proves true or not.If it is, then the elites will not bother wasting perfectly good labor to achieve nothing.You are more valuable as a wage slave.
>>532890603I agree with you, but I disagree that they will stop using human wave tactics. Human life is already border line worthless to them If sending human waves can deplete the enemies means to counter, they will absolute use that before using expensive options. With drone warfare becoming the norm, human shields will be used a cheap counter.
