India, China troops face-off, several injured

Several Indian and Chinese troops sustained injuries after they engaged in a fist-fight in the Naku La sector of North Sikkim on Saturday. The incident happened after a face-off, but the matter was resolved soon, sources said. 

...兩邊請節制不要嚇人謝謝~

“No de-escalation in China stand-off Both sides have also moved forward thousands of additional troops and set up logistics supply lines, with heavy vehicles and monitoring equipment, to back their soldiers on the actual confrontation sites. https://t.co/aO4oibg8Ov”

紐時也注意到兩國關係緊張:

“Even before the scuffling, India was feeling increasingly hemmed in by China’s expanding economic and geopolitical influence in South Asia.”

China and India Brawl at 14,000 Feet Along the Border

As China projects its power across Asia, and along the disputed India-China border in the Himalayas, India is feeling surrounded. Both sides insist they don’t want a war, but thousands of troops have been sent.

這篇報導提到五月份雙方首次摩擦的時間點是在本串首嘟05/11事件之前的05/05晚。雖說媒體的均提到雙方有針對邊界問題建立溝通機制,同一個月內發生三次以上衝突,即使在此時仍顯異常。

“The PLA and Indian Army soldiers clashed at the feature called Finger 5 in the northern flank of the Pangong lake on May 5 night.

A few days later, personnel from the two armies clashed again near Naku La in Sikkim.”

These troops were moved out from various battalions. The 3,488 km-long LAC with China is managed by the ITBP and the Army jointly.

「影片中顯示一艘印度Tampa快艇(從美國進口)攔截懸掛中國國旗的模擬中國巡邏船的演習畫面,印度快艇使用了名為“漩渦戰術”,用高速快艇不斷繞代號LX系列的“中國巡邏船”轉圈航行,將目標船隻困在水流中,迫使其開始陷入渦流時返回。依目前情況來看,該湖西部45公里長的部份地區在印度的控制下,其餘部份則在中國控制之下。

該報道引據軍事評論員黃東分析,解放軍在班公錯湖出動928D巡邏艇,行內俗稱“西海艦隊”,已集結5,000多士兵,已是一個旅的兵力,印軍也不相伯仲,“雙方已經有1萬人,可以打一場不大不小嘅戰爭”。 」

中印对峙进一步升级 两国大幅增兵加勒万河谷

世界上人口最多的两个国家的军队正在喜马拉雅山脉高海拔处陷入紧张对峙,在寻求进一步实现战略目标的过程中,对峙可能升级。

The Diplomat對最近兩國緊張情勢的分析。

“It is true that China does not consider India to be its primary strategic competitor. However, some Chinese veterans are of the opinion that China has a history of adjusting its strategic direction and has more often than not benefitted from solving contradictions in a secondary direction first, rather than the contradictions in the primary direction.”

What Is China Saying About the China-India Border Stand-Off?

On the Chinese internet, the Nepal-India territorial dispute is seen as a direct contributing factor to the recent flare-up on the Sino-Indian border.

WAPO一篇報導對這段衝突期間作出淺白說明的分析:

“If Beijing fears other nations may view China as weak or distracted by the coronavirus and the economic aftershocks, the Chinese leadership may feel it has to take a hard line against any potential challenge to Chinese sovereignty. This is true not only regarding the border with India but also with regard to Taiwan, Hong Kong and the South China Sea.”

對印中邊界的衝突,米方態度簡單清楚:

“The Chinese Communist Party has been on this effort, on this march, for an awfully long time,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week. “They’ll certainly use a tactical situation on the ground to their advantage.”
“中共为此,为这次推进已经努力了很长时间,”国务卿迈克·庞皮欧(Mike Pompeo)上周表示。“他们肯定会在实地利用战术优势。”

喜马拉雅“斗殴”事件后,中印边境对峙走向和解

在上个月中印军方在边境附近发生多起冲突后,两国指挥官举行了会晤。印度表示将通过传统外交和军事渠道解决问题;中国没有立即表态,但连日以来一直试图淡化事态。

上星期推出的共和黨國安戰略報告裡,印太重點策略的定位不變。

「”中国(中共)的宏伟战略‘中国梦’是要将国际体系转变为由中共领导的体系。” 报告建议至少从五个方面反击中国。第一,抵制中国的工业间谍活动、盗窃知识产权以及其他恶意的经济行为。第二,制止中国的恶性政治影响和虚假信息宣传运动。第三,抵制中国的侵犯人权行为。第四,应对中国的全球军事现代化。第五,加强在印度太平洋地区的联盟。」

美国会共和党提议制裁韩正和汪洋

米軍的太平洋空防將被視為要務,川川連任與否都不會改變這個基礎。

“白宮送交國會的最新一份國家安全報告,名稱是《美國對中華人民共和國的戰略方針》,從公開的內容已可預見,美中兩國的戰略競爭將會進一步白熱化,過去只是少數派理論的「美中新冷戰」恐怕很快會走向現實。中國所積極發展的極音速(Hypersonic)飛彈與新一代戰略轟炸機轟-20,都讓美國必需更重視太平洋方向的空中防禦。”

自費幫美國「站崗」?鋪路爪長程預警雷達在台灣的戰略意義 | 王臻明 | 鳴人堂

這四座不在美國本土48州內的鋪路爪長程預警雷達,目前監控了可以攻擊美國的大半空域,是美國建立的空中絕對國防圈,一旦有一座被摧毀,都會讓美國反制彈道飛彈攻擊的能力出現漏洞。雖然目前海基或新型的X波段雷達也逐漸服役,但暫時仍無法取代這四座鋪路爪長程預警雷達。

從米軍的防務觀點看,扼住地圖上的南海尖端與菲律賓海的交界處,幾乎就掌握了西太平洋的交通關隘。

太平洋威懾倡議的操作:

[ to create a “deterrence by punishment” framework. This would see the U.S. and its allies not only focus on strike missions on PLA military targets, but further threaten Chinese commercial shipping, impose harsh economic sanctions, and undertake other measures. The goal would be to broaden an immediate conflict into one that not only aims to defeat the PLA’s immediate military objectives, but also “punishes” Chinese political and economic leadership. ]

Getting the Pacific Deterrence Initiative Right

The PDI will undoubtedly set the groundwork for U.S. defense posture in Asia for the foreseeable future. Getting it right matters.

但我覺得米軍武器的威懾力比國會強很多...  

"若以兩枚AGM-158C反艦飛彈攻擊一艘敵方艦艇的情況來計算,B-1B轟炸機所掛載的24枚飛彈能同時攻擊12個敵方目標,這已經是整個艦隊的規模。...。這款反艦反艦會先攻擊航空母艦、大型驅逐艦等價值較高的目標、或是判斷防空能力最強的艦艇,先瓦解對方的防禦網,同時也會放棄已經被擊毀的敵方艦艇,轉而選擇還有作戰能力的艦艇,不會白白浪費飛彈。這樣的設計能讓已發射的反艦飛彈擁有最大的攻擊效益。"

"The US is professing support for these countries' rights in those areas. Now, if the US wants to come to support an ally or partner in the South China Sea which is getting pushed around by China, now it has the legal justification to say China's actions are illegal in our view... even though Pompeo has previously indicated these are coercive actions by the Chinese, he probably would not have said they are illegal, now he can,"

"1架/1min升空跟1架/10mins升空,是完全不同的概念,讀者自己想像一下,60架全部升空,前者代表第一架滯空了60mins,後者代表600mins,也就是10小時。

呃,還沒發現問題在哪的,問題可大了,因為油箱跟載彈量是固定的,用維基百科的資料,J-15作戰半徑達1200km,但台灣的反艦飛彈射程已經確定超過300km,這還不包含開戰前台灣的艦隊基本上都會進入太平洋。意即,這兩艘解放軍的航母艦隊,他位置要放在哪個地方?

讀者要明白,三三兩兩跑來台灣東部攻擊那叫做射火雞,形成足夠的作戰編隊才有意義,距離跟航程還有油料,這可以繪製成一個作戰時間圖表,很容易知道到底其同一時間可以發揮多少戰力。

這還不算真的開戰時會有戰損,損失到一個階段的航母群會連護衛機的數量都不夠,一個不好被逆襲,說不定艦隊全部覆滅。"

近日軍事相關消息有感 | 王立第二戰研所 — vocus

前陣子陸戰隊出事後,吳怡農寫了一篇很微妙的評論,國內大概軍事界(不是軍武)有點程度的都翻了,藍綠都有不過方向不同。罵就算了,因為黃澎孝又從這延伸出了中國渡海的困難,導致換另一批人又翻了……這講到底都是戰術跟武器的細節,所以我們要怎樣檢驗這些? - 關鍵字:國防,武力侵台,現代戰爭,軍事,演習,王立第二戰研所,雜談閒聊,登陸作戰

"聯兵營的規模變的更小,那要如何發揚更強大的火力來彌補這個問題。以先進國家的發展經驗,這完全要依賴配合度更高的三軍聯合作戰訓練,由地面部隊的聯絡官,引導陸航的武裝攻擊直升機、空軍的戰機進行火力打擊。
甚至在濱海地區作戰時,還能協調海軍艦艇進行艦炮炮擊或以艦上防空飛彈掩護岸上的部隊。"

漢光演習》王臻明/任務尚未結束 漢光演習只是聯兵營新編裝檢討的開始 | 雲論 | ETtoday新聞雲

漢光演習能驗證多少部隊戰力,一向是見仁見智,國軍應該把聯兵營首度參與漢光演習,視為是新編裝檢討的開始,而不是編成以後任務已圓滿結束。

"在華府智庫「戰略暨國際研究中心」(CSIS)近日舉辦的一場視訊研討會上,麥康維爾表示,做為美國威懾戰略的一環,他將「長程精準火力」(long-range precision fire)列為當前最優先要務,評估在印太地區部署這類武器系統的各類選項。這些兵力部署變革也包括「成立全方位聯合作戰部隊」"

"現代化的各個軍種,本來就擁有部份的跨領域作戰能力,隨著未來軍事科技發展的日新月異,這種情況只會越來越普遍與明顯。

美軍因此提出全新的全領域聯合作戰概念,要讓每一個軍種的部隊都可以跨領域作戰,能在陸地、海洋、空中、虛擬空間與太空戰場中執行任務,並利用這樣的跨領域能力,來取得作戰的優勢。美國陸軍之前宣布要在印太地區部署的多領域特遣隊(Multi-domain task forces),就是這種新概念下的產物。多領域特遣隊未來不止將擁有防空、制海,地對地打擊,電磁作戰能力,也將緊密整合各種太空資訊,以發揮更強大的戰力。"
