China preparing for war. Moving 1000s of missiles

[52051]

I believe the optimal strategy for Beijing is to begin the Taiwan operation with a tactical nuclear strike on Taipei's government district. I believe once the political leadership is wiped out, the military leadership will step in and surrender.

I don't think we need tactical nuke to achieve that.

Have you check the morale of Taiwan's military force? Some of the force are just pro-reunification and wont fight, may actually join the side with PLA, as for the rest, well, the general idea is, without the help of US, they will just surrender if PLA want to invade.

100% of Taiwanese will surrender if the US doesn't help.

99% of Taiwanese are separatists.

Wiping out the political leadership early resets the equation so the military leadership can make a decision whether to surrender and live or risk death hoping the US will save them. Nobody wants to reunify with mainland but the vast majority of people don't want to die.

If you don't strike first and strike hard the initiative goes to the US. Taiwan will just wait until the US arrives.

With or without tactical nuke they will wait for the US, and with or without the tactical nuke they wont fight against PLA, at least not much.

So whats the point of dropping nuke on Chinese soil? the nukes should be saved for the japland.

Beijing could use MOAB to deal with Taiwan. With the destructive power second only to nuclear weapons, the MOAB would break Taiwan's spine.

Your logical thinking ability is not very good. By wiping out the entire political leadership, this makes it unlikely the Taiwan military will try to wait it out. Showing weakness or hesitation results in five aircraft carriers on your doorstep. Showing resolve means the PLA occupies Taipei within hours. You are showing weakness.

Taiwan's air defenses are effective against aircraft. MOAB can only be dropped by bombers.

To be honest, you don't have much logic or reasonings in many of your posts.

What I am talking about is the pro and cons of such crazy actions, there is little gain in dropping nuke to a force that has little fighting will against you to begin with, probably besides install fear and terror to their mind, but its that your intention?

Dropping nukes on Chinese soil offer little military gains, and will hurt China's imagination very unneesarily, both international and domestically, few Chinese, save for the nutjobs, will agree with dropping nuke on Taiwan just for whatever little military advantage it offers.

I don't want to waste my time on this pointless topic, since no Chinese generals or policy makers will support your crazy idea.

Of cause if the US using tactical nuke in a war there, then it is a totally different story.

In a war with Taiwan, most of their control nodes and networks will be wiped out by PLA's cruise missiles and ballistic missiles in the first few hours, and most of Taiwan' radar will not work due to intensive EM from PLA.

Besides that, most of their force will not fight the PLA, many of the Taiwan's senior KMT generals are actually pro reunification and will order their troop to surrender or even uprise, the rest will just run away.

The US former vice chief of staff estimate the war with Taiwan will last for about 3 days before a total PLA takeover, I think he is being realistic in this case.

That railway train full of big missiles will scare any country

Those missiles (HQ-16s) are defense oriented SAMs ... which I doubt Taiwan will encounter much as they do not plan on going even near the Chinese coastline for obvious reasons. The missiles they should be really scared about is the DF-15s, DF-16s, and DF-11s. All these SRBMs are purposefully designed for Taiwan in mind, whether it be knocking out key infrastructure, C4ISR sites, or Taiwanese SAMs.

Instead of calling them "scary big and giant missiles" why not actually learn their destinations and what they are designed for? This is a military forum after all.

those are defensive SAM missiles. they won't be attacking anyone

1000 or 2000 SAM missiles or Chinese S-400

Are you completely ignorant? Where do you get the idea that Taiwanese generals are pro-unification? Did you speak to one and he told you that?
