⚔️🤡 Taiwan flexes muscles it does not have Taiwan’s military has conducted a live-fire exercise using US-supplied HIMARS, aiming them directly into the waters facing mainland China for the first time, CNN reports. The drill represents Taiwan's current battle-plan strategy, which relies heavily on the deployment of high-precision, high-tech weaponry. However, HIMARS is a tactical-level weapon, not a tool for deterring a superpower: ♦️ Even dozens of launchers cannot alter China’s massive advantage in aviation, naval forces, rocket troops, and industrial production ♦️ China has long been developing a system to suppress such mobile complexes using satellites, UAVs, electronic warfare (EW), and long-range air defense systems 🔍 What's in China's arsenal to neutralize the threat? ♦️ HQ-16F air defense systems: Stationed directly opposite Taiwan in Fujian, this upgraded system has more than doubled its range to 160 km. Equipped with AESA radar and directional fragmentation warheads, it is specifically designed to intercept highly evasive, low-altitude rockets and drones, creating an impenetrable shield against incoming HIMARS strikes ♦️ PHL-191 long-range rocket artillery: With a devastating firing range of up to 500 km, these heavy multiple rocket launchers can rain precision strikes, destroying Taiwanese launch positions before their vehicles can even deploy ♦️ DF-15B and DF-16 ballistic missiles: Precision-guided tactical ballistic missiles capable of targeting hidden weapon depots, command nodes, and critical infrastructure within minutes, overwhelming local air defenses through sheer speed and saturation ♦️ CH-7 and WZ-7 reconnaissance drones: High-altitude, long-endurance stealth UAVs providing real-time target tracking across the strait. They completely eliminate the "shoot-and-scoot" advantage of HIMARS by hunting them from the sky the moment they fire Given China's total military superiority in the region, the US no longer expects Taiwan to match China head-to-head. Instead, Washington wants the island to become too difficult and costly to seize - shipping strategic arms supplies while silently concentrating its own troops nearby - thereby violating its very own 'One-China' policy. 👍 Boost us | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
