Suspected Chinese Military Drone Flies over Dongyin Island 不明飛行器2度掠東引 研判是中國無人機

A drone  flew over Dongyin Island's defense zone twice on the 28th. The mission is believed to be carried out by China as a protest.


The situation in the Taiwan Strait is tense. An unidentified flying object flew over Dongyin Island's defense zone twice on the 28th. The Army Command's analysis concluded that it was unmanned, possibly scouting Taiwan's defense area. Dongyin Area Command fired flares as a warning for it to leave. Dongyin's military is staying alert and maintaining combat readiness. The military has not confirmed the drone's nationality and model. However, experts believe the drone very likely belongs to China and it was a planned mission to coincide with Taiwan's Han Kuang Military Exercise, which is currently taking place.

Chieh Chung, Analyst, Association of Strategic Foresight: “We have not published territorial sea baselines. So theoretically, legally, we have no way of claiming that 12 nautical miles of airspace. China sending drones into Dongyin is their way of proving their jurisdictional claim to the Taiwan Strait.”

Experts believe that the Chinese drone invasion of Dongyin's air defense zone has two main purposes. One is to express high levels of dissatisfaction with the possibility that U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may lead a delegation to visit Taiwan. The other is to weaken Taiwan's influence over Taiwan Strait's sovereignty. Taiwan's territorial sea baseline currently does not include Dongyin. Taiwan may be at a disadvantage legally if a conflict breaks out on Dongyin. The Japanese Joint Staff Office revealed that a PLA's type 056A missile frigate was lurking in Taiwan's eastern waters from the 22nd until the 27th. The frigate went north only after Han Kuang Exercise's East Coast drill was over.

Hsu Chih-hsiang, Assistant Analyst, INDSR: “China sending a combat-capable ship, such as this one, is of course more or less an intimidation tactic.”

It is worth noting that President Tsai Ing-wen observed a joint interception operation off the coast of Suao on the 26th. The presence of the PLA's missile frigate off Taiwan's east coast during the same time has caused concern. Experts point out that Chinese military planes and ships often appear during major Taiwanese military exercises in the past. Their presence this time was still mainly to gather battlefield intelligence.

 

 



台海情勢緊張,一架不明飛行器28號兩度掠過東引防區上空,陸軍司令部比對分析,研判是無人機,不排除到此偵蒐我防區,東引指揮部射擊信號彈示警驅離,保持戰備警戒,國軍並未證實無人機的國籍與型號,但正值漢光演習期間,學者分析,極有可能是中國所為,且是有計畫的行動。

中華戰略前瞻協會研究員揭仲表示:「我們沒有公布領海基線,所以理論上,在法律上,我們沒有辦法去主張是說12浬的領空,(中國)派無人機進入東引,一方面表示是說,對它在台灣海峽有管轄權的一個主張的一個證明。」

學者認為,中國無人機入侵東引有兩大目的,針對美國聯邦眾議院議長裴洛西可能率團訪台,釋放強烈政治訊號,表達高度不滿,以及削弱我方的台海主權影響力,尤其我方領海基線沒有納入東引,若在東引爆發衝突,台灣可能在法律戰落居下風。此外,日本統合幕僚監部揭露共軍一艘056A型飛彈護衛艦22日航抵我東部海域潛伏,直到27日漢光東部操演結束才北上。

國防院助理研究員許智翔說:「比較具備作戰能力的船艦,進行這樣的行動,當然多多少少也是一種,帶有威嚇意味的態勢。」

值得注意的是,總統蔡英文26號才在宜蘭蘇澳外海,視導聯合截擊作戰,中共具有作戰能力的飛彈護衛艦現蹤東部外海,引發關注,專家指出,共軍機艦過去多次現蹤國軍重大操演周遭海空域,這回仍以戰場情蒐為主。
