Dark night hung over Taiwan, and a breeze carried a chill through the treetops. In the command center of Qingquangang Air Base, a young captain stared at the radar screen with a solemn gaze.

"According to the report, the radar has captured the signals of a number of suspected ballistic missiles, and the preliminary judgment is that they came from the coast of Fujian. Missiles are closing in on us at extremely high speeds!"
The commander on the side was silent for a moment, and then issued a decisive order: "Launch missiles to intercept, the whole base is on alert, and all fighters are on standby!"
At this moment, a dull explosion sounded in the distance, accompanied by a dazzling light that streaked across the sky. Explosions followed, and the entire base was engulfed in flames.
"What? How can this be, can we destroy our airfields to such a point with long-range fire and ballistic missiles alone?" The commander was dumbfounded, unable to believe what was happening in front of him.
However, the explosion did not stop, and subsequently more targets were hit with precision. Priceless F-16V fighters were crushed by bunkers or engulfed in flames. Eventually, the entire base fell into a dead silence, and no more roaring of warplanes could be heard.
Seeing his hard-earned air power come to naught overnight, the commander felt desperate. He never imagined that the mainland would be able to use such powerful firepower to completely destroy Taiwan's air force on the ground.
What kind of means can make the Taiwan military completely lose the opportunity to take off? Is long-range fire and ballistic missiles really enough? It's all chilling.
Ruthless killing of long-range firepower
As the "fuse" for the imminent outbreak in the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan's air base is undoubtedly one of the key targets of the mainland's military strikes. In previous discussions, we have already discussed the important role of long-range fire and ballistic missiles in this process.
Indeed, these long-range firepower weapons are undoubtedly a sharp weapon for the mainland to destroy the strength of Taiwan's air force. As previously analyzed, almost all of the 10 air bases on the island of Taiwan are within the range of the mainland's PHL-191 long-range fire. Most of these airfields only require 370mm rockets to be hit. There are also some bases, such as Hsinchu and Qingquangang, which are within the coverage of the mainland's 03A Yuanhuo.
The accuracy and lethality of these long-range fire weapons can be described as "pervasive". They can easily destroy a variety of reinforced bunkers on Taiwan's air bases, including bunkers to combat 500-pound aerial bombs, as well as non-reinforced hangars. Even those more rugged bunkers could not escape the fate of being penetrated by the mainland's ground-penetrating missiles.
Moreover, different models of long-range fire weapons can also give full play to their respective advantages. For example, the use of DF-11A and DF-15C ground-penetrating warheads can effectively hit targets in deep tunnels; And for some exposed weak points, such as taxiways and runways, they can be continuously destroyed by a large number of precision-guided bombs.
Not only that, but the mainland's long-range fire attacks are not limited to airfields. In order to completely destroy Taiwan's air power, we will also carry out all-round strikes on the command center, radar positions, and air defense missile bases of the Taiwan military. In this way, even if a small number of fighters are lucky enough to escape, they will lose important support such as command and dispatch and air defense cover.
In general, the mainland's long-range firepower superiority is indeed difficult to shake. However, this does not mean that we can completely rely on these weapons and completely destroy Taiwan's air force on the ground.
Advantages and limitations of ballistic missiles
In addition to long-range firepower weapons, ballistic missiles are undoubtedly one of the mainland's important means of destroying Taiwan's air force. In the previous article, we have already analyzed the strike capabilities of different models of ballistic missiles.
In general, ballistic missiles, as a high-speed, high-precision long-range strike weapon, have a strong advantage in destroying targets at Taiwan's airfields. They can break through the existing air defense system, accurately hit targets in deep tunnels, and have a fast reaction time, a short launch time, and the ability to quickly concentrate fire.
However, ballistic missiles alone cannot completely achieve the goal of "Taiwan military fighters not taking off." The main reasons are as follows:
1. Ballistic missiles are limited in number and range. Even the Dongfeng series of missiles is not endless. Moreover, their range is also limited and cannot cover the entire territory of Taiwan.
2. There is a certain risk of interception of ballistic missiles. Although Taiwan's air defense strength is much inferior to before, it still has a certain interception capability. We have to expend a lot of ammunition to break through this line of defense.
3. Ballistic missiles are not capable of sustaining strikes. They are completely depleted once fired, and are unable to continuously destroy targets like long-range fire weapons. This means that we must have other means to complement the ballistic missile attack.
4. Ballistic missiles are mainly aimed at stationary targets. And some of Taiwan's hidden bunkers, such as those built directly in the mountains, may not cause substantial damage even if they are hit.
Therefore, it is clearly not enough to rely solely on ballistic missiles to destroy the Taiwanese Air Force. We also need to find more diversified and flexible means of striking in order to ensure the complete destruction of Taiwan's air power at the first opportunity.
The important role of the "invisible warrior".
In this process, the "wild weasel fighter" with high stealth performance will play an important role. This stealth fighter can not only break through the enemy's air defense system, but also accurately hit targets at close range, thus providing strong fire support for subsequent ground landing operations. This stealth fighter can not only break through the enemy's air defense system, but also accurately hit targets at close range, thus providing strong fire support for subsequent ground landing operations. These stealth fighters can penetrate deep into Taiwan's airspace without being detected and carry out precision strikes on key targets such as airports and missile bases, completely destroying Taiwan's air power.
At the same time, our military can also mobilize a large number of precision-guided bombs to continuously destroy the runways and taxiways of Taiwan's airports. These bombs can accurately hit these key parts, so that even if the Taiwan military fighters are lucky enough to escape, they will not be able to take off again. Even if repaired briefly, these targets will soon be destroyed again. This was repeated until the last fighter of the Taiwan military completely lost the ability to take off.
In addition, our military can also use a large number of anti-radiation missiles to carry out all-round strikes on Taiwan's radar stations and air defense missile bases. Once Taiwan's entire air defense system is destroyed and paralyzed, our fighters will be able to crisscross Taiwan's airspace without hindrance and ensure complete air superiority.
In this way, even those tunnel-deep cave bunkers will not escape the fate of being completely blocked by our army. We can not only use ground-penetrating warhead missiles to strike accurately, but also destroy all kinds of external support facilities in the caves through continuous bombing, so that the Taiwan military's fighters will eventually be unable to dispatch.
In short, it is not enough to rely on long-range fire and ballistic missiles alone. We also need to give full play to the unique advantages of various new weapon systems, including stealth fighters, precision-guided bombs, and anti-radiation missiles, and only through the coordinated cooperation of various means can we ensure that Taiwan's air power is completely destroyed at the first time and achieve the goal of "Taiwan military fighters not taking off."
Of course, this is not a simple task that can be accomplished overnight. We must fully assess the current war environment, carefully analyze the comparison of the strengths of the enemy and us, and choose the most effective way to strike. Only in this way will we be able to achieve the operational objective in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost, and create favorable conditions for subsequent landing operations.
