[EpochTimesApril192022](The Epoch Times reporter Zhong Yuan reported in Taipei) The Russian warship “Moscow” was sunk by the Ukrainian army on the 14th. Current affairs commentator Wu Jialong analyzed that the incident brought four factors to Taiwan. revelation. Luo Zhengfang, chairman of Taiwan’s Jingwei Aerospace who used to work at NASA, also pointed out that Ukraine’s lasting resistance to Russia this time has given Taiwan a great inspiration, that is, national defense independence cannot be without a huge private military supply chain.
Kremlin refuses to reveal details of casualties
The flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet “Moskva” (Moskva), the ship’s air defense combat system includes 8 “Thunder” SA-N-6 missile launchers (S-300 shipborne version), 2 twin SA-N -4 “Gecko” missile (missile) launchers, 6 AK630 6-barrel 30mm guns and electronic countermeasures systems, etc.
The 12,490-ton giant warship was sunk by two Neptune anti-ship missiles launched by Ukraine on the 14th, and the Russian army estimated the loss as high as 750 million US dollars. The Kremlin refused to disclose any details of casualties on the 19th in the face of requests from the families of the Russian military to clarify the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers on board.
Current affairs commentator Wu Jialong said on Facebook that the “Moscow” was hit by two mobile shore-launched Neptune missiles from Ukraine, and the ammunition depot exploded and burned, and finally sank. It was the largest warship sunk in battle since the end of World War II.
Wu Jialong analyzed that Ukraine sank Russia’s proud “Moscow” and brought four inspirations to Taiwan.
First, a military power like Russia and a top-level warship like the “Moscow” still have weaknesses, so they can still be hit with precision. What Ukraine has shown is that small countries have room to confront big ones, as long as they can catch the door of their opponents.
Second, the basis of precision strikes lies in accurate intelligence. The source of intelligence can be provided by the United States.
Third, Ukrainian forces are the front-line troops, fighting on the front lines, but NATO provides strong support in the rear, including intelligence, communications, command, and logistics. Taken together, Ukraine and NATO constitute a combat system, so that the war between Russia and Ukraine is actually a war between systems.
The U.S. did not use troops this time, but only used NATO to prop up the system on the Ukraine side. This is a new type of war model. After the successful test in Ukraine, it will definitely be applied to other battlefields in the future, that is, the ground combat troops will be undertaken by the local country, and the entire combat system behind can be shot and coordinated by the United States.
Fourth, it turns out that the control of the sea is not entirely dependent on warships on the sea, including submarines and aircraft carriers, but the anti-ship missiles that are maneuvered on land are also critical. This means that, like sea control in the Taiwan Strait, it can also be mastered by anti-ship missiles launched from land. It is conceivable that in the future, joint operations across arms will be very important to Taiwan.
He pointed out that, on the whole, Taiwan can get a lot of inspiration from the Ukrainian war. The United States does not need to send troops at all, but only needs to maintain a new combat system in Taiwan and launch a system-to-system showdown.
Wu Jialong: Small countries have precise strike capabilities that can target the weaknesses of large weapons to fight against big countries
Wu Jialong said that Ukraine’s experience shows that as long as it has the ability to strike accurately, small countries can completely attack the weaknesses of large weapons, so they can effectively fight against big countries.
“For Taiwan, the ability to strike with precision is king!” He said that Taiwan’s missile defense system not only targets invading fighter jets and various missiles, but also targets all kinds of ships coming from the sea. , use anti-ship missiles to sink the forces attempting to land on the beach into the sea.
Because of the vulnerability of surface ships, the U.S. Navy will avoid coming within range of Chinese anti-ship missiles, he said. Therefore, if Taiwan expects the U.S. Navy to come to help, it may first solve the CCP’s anti-ship missile base and help the U.S. Navy remove obstacles.
Luo Zhengfang: Russian aircraft carriers and many warships are produced in Ukraine
UAV expert Luo Zhengfang posted on Facebook, “The mobilization of military supplies in the military industry during wartime is the key reason why Ukraine can fight a protracted war.” He pointed out that Ukraine’s defense industry has been a Soviet military-industrial complex long before the collapse of the Soviet Union. The main support core of the Soviet Communist Empire, more than 30% of the arms production of the Soviet Communist Empire comes from Ukraine.
Luo Zhengfang said that under the military competition of the long-term global Cold War, 40% of the forward-looking development of the Soviet Union came from scientific research institutions in Ukraine. In fact, most of the Soviet Union’s long-range strategic ICBMs were produced at the Yuzhmash factory in Dnipro, Ukraine’s fourth largest city. Not only did the CCP obtain the source of technological development of aircraft carriers through Ukraine, but Russian aircraft carriers and Many warships are produced in Ukraine.
When the Crimean War broke out in 2014, he pointed out that Ukraine finally realized that the biggest threat to the country’s survival was Russia. After producing and delivering various parts, it turned out to be an accomplice to help Russia invade and attack itself. Therefore, Ukraine has put the entire defense industry in the country. The center of gravity began to be adjusted to be oriented towards domestic demand.
He said that after the long-term tug-of-war in the Donbass in southeastern Ukraine for the next eight years, Ukraine began to strengthen its strategic connection with the Western camp. The instructors from the US military and NATO had already entered Ukraine to assist in military reform. The actual combat is actually a long-term verification of the new tactical thinking of the US military, and the US military and NATO countries are also conscientiously developing solutions to Russian-made weapons and tactics through military exchanges.
Luo Zhengfang pointed out that the ground forces of the Russian army are lagging behind, which fully shows that Ukraine hides most of the fuel and ammunition supplies in safe places where the Russian army cannot find it, and the maintenance parts needed by the Russian army have long been transferred and hidden. On the contrary, the heavy weapons left by the Russian army that can still be repaired and usable, and the huge military-industrial system hidden in Ukraine can be quickly repaired and transferred to the Ukrainian army. This is one of the key reasons why the Ukrainian army can fight a protracted war.
Luo Zhengfang: Revelation that Taiwan needs to build an independent military supply chain
“Ukraine can resist Russia for a long time this time,” he said, which has given Taiwan a great inspiration, that is, national defense independence cannot be without a huge civilian military supply chain! Although Taiwan can purchase advanced weapon systems from its allies, it often takes a long time to return the parts to the original factory for repair, which affects the appropriateness of the equipment. This is an unimaginable time risk in wartime.
He said that Taiwan has undergone a refined military organization. To make up for the vacancy after the abolition of the joint logistics headquarters, it is necessary to expand the “military aircraft business maintenance” and incorporate Taiwan’s enterprises with military industrial capabilities into the logistics preparation system for maintenance, maintenance and renovation.
Luo Zhengfang pointed out that the government should not only make good use of the Industrial Cooperation Mechanism (ICP) in purchasing advanced weapons systems from the United States, but also add technology transfer clauses to military procurement contracts, and focus on fostering Taiwanese industries with military and civilian capabilities. Domestic weapons must also form a real defense industry chain. For retired technicians with expertise, there is also a way to transfer to private enterprises to save the corresponding human resources.
He said that if there is an invasion campaign in the Taiwan Strait in the future, if Taiwan wants to be able to fight a protracted war, not only does the national army need to be well-prepared for the preservation of combat power, but Taiwan’s national defense industry system must also be like mercury landing, manufacturing logistics supplies And maintenance energy, hidden in all corners of Taiwanese folk. Only by building an independent military supply chain and effectively achieving overall mobilization of military supplies in wartime is an urgent national issue for Taiwan’s current survival.
