The Ministry of National Defense of Taiwan in his report suggests that China’s People’s Liberation Army (NAK) can attempt to capture the island as soon as possible, reports the South China Morning Post. The landing military operation will be planned under the guise of joint Chinese teachings by 2025.

In the report provided by the Ministry of Defense to Parliament, the military called on to increase the defense budget and support the procurement of new weapons to reflect the likely aggression. The Office believes that the PRC, according to the plans of NAK, will try to use joint military exercises with the participation of their air force, navy and ground troops as an excuse to fraudulent maneuvers on the eastern and southern directions.

“Then NAK will send his warships to the western part of the Pacific Ocean as the consideration forces to create a strategic blockade, thereby interfering with foreign forces to come to the rescue. So the PRC will be able to capture the initiative,” the Ministry report says in the Ministry.

During the operation, the Taiwanese military suggests, NAK will strike with ballistic and cylinder missiles on Taiwan air defense systems, radars, command centers; Also, NAOK involves the means of electronic struggle against important defense enterprises and divisions of Taiwan military. After establishing domination at the sea and in the air, NAK will start landing the landing from the ships of amphibious forces, transport aircraft and helicopters for attack on military bases on the island; At the same time, the operations will be held as quickly as possible, to a possible intervention in the conflict of foreign forces.

At the same time, the report suggests that NAA has weaknesses – “inadequate opportunities in the field of transport and logistics”, with the result that after disembarking in Taiwan, the troops of NAK will not immediately receive reinforcements and cargo. In addition, in the Taiwan military department, it is believed that NAK will not succeed in landing the entire grouping of forces in Taiwan at a time. At the same time, the reinforced deunion of ports and airfields will not give NAK to capture them in a short period of time, and Taiwanese military can intercept the forces of NAK in the Taiwan Strait and violate the supply lines, noted in the report.

However, NAK will have to highlight a part of its forces to respond to possible interference with the conflict of foreign divisions, the report is noted.
