Taiwan-China War

[Vaishnu]

I think he rather than trolling , is trying to say that whatever he post with citations is true . He is adamant and does not even consider other counter arguments .

There will be no war. Period.

This will be in the future . No war .

Why do you and @gambit even give him the time? I never respond to Martian and this is why. The links he uses to support his positions offer information contrary to what he is trying to support.

His supporting evidence doesn't support his position, the link he provided doesn't contain the information he's trying to offer. His position is wrong, his information false.

@waz - is there a forum rule against such blatant lack of reading comprehension? There should be. The information being presented by Martian2 is wrong, unsupported and the links he uses to support his position don't match the information he is trying to support.

Is there anything that can be done to ensure this doesn't happen again? It harms the credibility of the forum.

Marty, like the rest of the Chinese members here, usually DO NOT read his/their sources, let alone read, study, and attempts to correlate the information contains within. They go for the keywords that matches what they believed to be true of the issue, simple as that.

His country of birth was Republic of China. There is not yet a country called Taiwan.

Oh you're opening up pandoras box there my friend. :o:

I'm afraid there isn't such a rule and we leave it to forum members to battle it out, provided they use appropriate methods.

Taiwan is 90 miles wide at its maximum. That is the definition of no strategic depth.

You haven't changed one bit. Always concerned about semantics. I haven't heard a single original or useful idea from you to date.

Have you ever been on Taiwan? I lived there for six years. At its widest, it's about 90 miles. That means the average width of Taiwan is 45 miles. There is no place to run. A tank can cover 45 miles in one hour.

After landfall and a Chinese blitzkrieg, the Taiwanese Army will all be dead from a howitzer strike. A howitzer has a range of about 20 miles. The top quarter and bottom quarter of Taiwan has an average width of 20 miles. That means one half of Taiwan is fully within range of a howitzer. The middle section can be overrun by a tank in one hour.

I think it is even simpler than that. In fact I think you are thinking old school 20th Century fighting in the 21st Century.

All China has to do is create a fleet of drones...half with air-to-air missiles the other half are bombers.
You send them over to Taiwan on basically a mission to loiter mainly near airstrips and wipe out as much of the fixed and rotary wing aircraft as they can. You want Taiwan to use up as many ground-to-air and air-to-air missiles and fighters as you can. After a battle of attrition you will eventually get air superiority and you basically can do whatever you want...like picking off tanks one by one. Why even waste time sending men in tanks until it becomes a cakewalk.

If you are worried about Taiwan striking nearby bases with missiles...well simply move your stuff further inland. Let them shoot away. Save your manned stuff for any attempted counter-attack. Sit back and watch the drone footage on tv.
