US-China war on Taiwan: Dragon can attack despite Biden\'s warning, how difficult it is to capture Taiwan

US Parliament Speaker Nancy Pelosi is visiting Taiwan. China is very upset about this and is constantly threatening America with dire consequences. The date of Pelosi\'s visit to Taiwan has not been decided, but it is believed that she can go to Taiwan in the first week of August.

If this happens, then for the first time since 1997 (after 25 years) such a big official of America will visit this country. China has always claimed Taiwan as its share. Taiwan, on the other hand, considers itself a democracy and a free country. Under no circumstances can America see Taiwan going into the hands of China. This is also the reason for the conflict.

However, after Russia attacks Ukraine, it is now believed that China can also follow Putin\'s path. US President Joe Biden threatens China. Said- If China attacks Taiwan then America will also take military action. The question arises whether, in reality, America will be able to stop China.

The answer is - probably not. There are two reasons for this-

America only wants to stop China from attacking Taiwan. America wants so much that Taiwan should have enough military and other resources that China should shy away from attacking.

Experts say that China has more military power. China\'s army is ahead of America in terms of military vehicles. He also has enough tanks, soldiers, and missiles. There are 3 commands in the army of China-

light vehicular unit

heavy machinery

unit to be sent with armored vehicles

In such a situation, China can be successful in capturing Taiwan. A few months ago, documents related to the People\'s Liberation Army of China were released by the US Army. According to this, the Chinese government wants to replace all its old weapons by 2035.

When will China attack Taiwan?

Director of the SOS China Institute, University of London, Prof. Steve Tsang says – The day Xi Jinping feels that he can defeat America, then only then will there be an attack. The war could happen sometime between 2030 and 2035. However, it will also prove to be a bloody struggle for China. Experts believe that its consequences will be more dangerous than the Second World War.

In what ways can China attack?

seaway

Taking advantage of its navy, China can attack Taiwan by sea. The Chinese Navy has 360 combat ships. America has less than 300. China also has an Advance Merchant Fleet and Coast Guard. Experts say that the Chinese army also has some such bots that help the army unofficially. These can help hundreds of soldiers reach the ships. Apart from this, thousands of tanks, guns, missiles, armored vehicles, and rocket launchers can also be transported.

air power

China\'s Air Force has advanced jets. In such a situation, China, learning from the Russian attack on Ukraine, will select the option of direct air strikes to capture Taiwan. It has been almost five months since the Russia-Ukraine war, but Russian troops have not been able to capture even half of Ukraine.

According to the World Air Force\'s Flight Global 2022 Directory, compared to Taiwan, China has only 1,600 fighters in its territory outside the world. Whereas Taiwan has only 300 fighter planes. At the same time, America has a total of 2,700 aircraft of its army present around the world.

ground war

Taiwan has about 150,000 soldiers. They are designed to compete with Chinese soldiers. First of all, Chinese soldiers will have to find a safe place around Taipei. So that they can attack while defending themselves. However, this will be difficult, because Taiwan\'s soldiers know their land very well. They will know all kinds of bunkers and tunnels.

How difficult would it be for China to attack?

It will be difficult for the Chinese army to cross a distance of about 117 km by sea because seeing the movement in the sea, Taiwan will attack with a land-based cruise missile. With a similar missile, Ukraine destroyed Russia\'s largest and most important warship, Moskva, in the Black Sea.

It would be easier for Taiwan to build or buy a cruise missile than to build or buy a warship. That\'s why Taiwan is largely mobile and has lethal weapons.

Making it too. These include missiles carried on the shoulders.

Air strikes will also not be easy for China. Western countries are providing air-killing weapons to Taiwan. Those are hard to avoid. Such weapons are also being given to Ukraine. This is the reason why Russia has not been able to capture there so far.

Even in deploying troops, China will have to face huge logistical problems. It is believed that the number of attacking forces should be three to one.

The Chinese Army does not have paratroopers. Therefore soldiers can only enter by land and sea, it is very risky and dangerous.

Chinese soldiers do not have the experience of Battlefield Experience. The last time Chinese soldiers fought a war against Vietnam was in 1979. In such a situation, the Chinese army may have to suffer heavy losses by attacking Taiwan.

In other and simple words, there is a difference between war practice and battlefield experience. During the confrontation with Indian soldiers in Ladakh, China must have got a good idea of ​​this.
