Juhani Putkinen kirjutas: Aga kui ehitatakse see õhuvaatlusvõrk ja ostetakse need õlalt lastavad taburetita õhutõrjeraketit, nii sisside otsimine saab olema vaenlasele väga kallis tegevus.

Aga vat sedasi, et erinevalt lennukist, mis tunni ajaga suudab 1000 km oma asukohta muuta, pole maapinnal asuvate ja isegi ringi liikuvate raketisüsteemide ja nende liikumise seaduspärasuste avastamine korralikule signaaliluurele eriline probleem. Edasine on vaid tehnika küsimus - maapealse ÕT fundamentaalsete probleemide tuim ärakasutamine.

Lemet kirjutas:Küll aga ei kaota ümberpaiknemine muidugi vajadust ka uuel positsioonil koheselt kiirgama hakata... koos vastavate tagajärgedega.

Actually, RAND did the math on this one in a report last year, in typical RAND style, using sophisticated modeling to simulate a Chinese invasion of Taiwan in the 2010–2015 timeframe. RAND’s conclusion was that the addition of a few dozen upgraded F-16s would have little to no impact on the cross-strait balance. In fact, RAND found that in the event of a Chinese attack, “the air war for Taiwan could essentially be over before much of the Blue air force has even fired a shot.”


It’s not the Chinese air fleet that would deliver the knock out blow to Taiwanese air power. Rather, its China’s massive arsenal of ballistic missiles that in an opening salvo would destroy most Taiwanese aircraft, even those in hardened shelters, and wreck its runways before Taiwan was able to launch its fighters.

Adding new F-16s to China’s inventory does little to change the ultimate outcome. Well, more Taiwanese aircraft would make a small contribution RAND found: “Taiwan’s air power can at least contribute to the anti-invasion defense by absorbing as much of China’s air effort as possible in the process of being put out of action.” In other words, parking more fighters on Taiwan’s ramps would make the Chinese deplete more of its missile magazines.

The answer to the cross-strait military balance will not come in the form of more short range tactical fighters sat on ramps within range of China’s massive missile force. As the RAND study conclusively shows, selling Taiwan more capable F-16s does nothing to change the military balance.

В начале марта зрители американского телеканала CBS смогли ненадолго погрузиться в мир шпионажа. В передаче 60 минут они увидели запись снятого скрытой камерой разговора сотрудника Пентагона Грегга Бергерсена и американского бизнесмена тайваньского происхождения по имени Ко Тайшэнь. Мне очень, очень, очень не хочется передавать вам эти документы, потому что все они засекречены,— говорил Бергерсен своему собеседнику,— но я покажу вам их. Ролик был записан ФБР в 2007 году, и Бергерсен предлагал Ко ознакомиться с описанием системы обороны Тайваня, а также с перечнем вооружений, которые США планировали поставить острову в ближайшие пять лет.
