New action to deter Taiwan: J-20 stationed at Quzhou Airport, expert: it doesn’t matter where to go, where is the ability
2020-09-27 11:23
Recently, people in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province took pictures of the People’s Liberation Army’s most advanced fifth-generation stealth fighter J-20 landing at the “Quzhou Airport”, an important air force base along the coast of Zhejiang. The airport is only 500 kilometers away from Taipei. When the J-20 flies in the direction of Taiwan from the airport for 7 to 8 minutes, the Taiwan military cruise fighter will enter the effective range of the J-20 long-range missile. The J-20 can fly over Taiwan in 15 to 20 minutes.
The analysis pointed out that the J-20 may belong to the "Wang Hai Brigade" of Wuhu Air Force Base in Anhui, and it has been deployed to Quzhou Air Force Base recently. The "Wang Hai Brigade" is the heroic brigade on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. The predecessor of the Wang Hai Brigade was the 9th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Volunteer Air Force. It was formed in October 1950. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it entered the Korean War twice and shot down or damaged 29 enemy aircraft. Wang Hai, Sun Shenglu and Jiao Jingwen appeared successively. After waiting for the fighting hero, he was named "Wang Hai Brigade" by the Air Force.
Since the 1990s, in the face of changes in the internal and external environment, the Wang Hai Brigade has become a “fist force for safeguarding territorial integrity and inviolability of national interests” in Mainland China. The Ministry accepted the first batch of Russian-made Soviet -27SK fighters in 1992 and became the main force to deter Taiwan in the 1990s. After 2000, facing the urgent combat readiness node, the Ministry gave priority to the replacement of the Su-30MKK, becoming the first three-generation aircraft unit of the People's Liberation Army to master the ability of air combat beyond visual range. After the J-20 entered service, the brigade became the first front-line combat unit of the People's Liberation Army to deploy the J-20.
Quzhou Airport is one of the PLA’s major air force bases facing the East China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. It is only 500 kilometers away from Taiwan. It has stationed a large number of Su-30, Su-27 and J-10 fighters for many years. The airport has an underground hangar to prevent the enemy. The bombing by aircraft and missiles is located just at the limit of effective range for Taiwan military cruise missiles and aircraft. The J-20 took off from the airport and flew towards Taiwan for 7-8 minutes at a speed of nearly 2,000 kilometers per hour. The northern Taiwan military aircraft entered the effective range of its long-range air-to-air missile.
The mainland officials did not release any news related to this. Taiwan media analyzed the PLA's F-20's move into Quzhou from online videos. It can be seen that the mainland's powerful deterrence has strained nerves on the island. An anonymous military expert said on September 26 that there is a generation gap between Taiwan’s F-16 and other types of fighters and the J-20. This means that once the J-20 is put into battle, it will have an absolute advantage. In combat, the J-20 can not only target enemy fighters, but also attack key facilities in the enemy's command post to seize air superiority.
Quzhou Airport is an important frontline airport. It played an important role in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In June 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and launched the Pacific War. When Americans with air power participated in the war, U.S. warplanes had stopped at Quzhou Airport many times, and its strategic position can be imagined. In April 1942, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Dolittle flew and bombed Tokyo. The fleet took off from an aircraft carrier over a thousand kilometers east of Japan. After bombing Tokyo, it had to fly directly to China's Quzhou Airport to replenish fuel due to insufficient fuel.
However, after Japan was bombed, the roaring anger vented to the Chinese. An order was given to destroy the airport in eastern China, and the battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi began.
"Where to go is not important, the ability lies there." Chinese Air Force expert Fu Qianshao said on September 26 that the J-20 is a long-range, heavy-duty, fourth-generation stealth fighter with a very large combat radius. The transition range is quite long. There are also more long-distance flight transitions during training. After the J-20 is installed, we have prepared the battlefield for its combat use in the corresponding theater. Fu Qianshao said that in fact, whether it is J-20, J-11, J-16, Su-30, Su-27, they can quickly reach the sky over Taiwan.
The analysis pointed out that the PLA Air Force’s public announcement of the J-20 is of great significance, showing that the PLA’s 5th-generation aircraft has gotten rid of the “experimental” nature and embarked on the front-line unit to perform duties. The J-20 was stationed at Quzhou Airport during the day. If you don’t want to make it public, you can station at night. This shows that you want to warn the “Taiwan independence” forces not to step on the bottom line of the mainland. (Teng Chao).
