Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

With these assets, the “Chinese scorpion” annoys Washington in front of Taiwan

This encirclement of the island’s information survey, which an information technology expert considers, is a new index of Chinese superiority over the United States, which supports Taiwan militarily, specifying for “Sky News Arabia” examples of what Washington has come to fear from China. military technology.

The giant plane, TB001, has been dubbed the “double-tailed scorpion” by China, which is an accurate description of the design adopted by the plane, which is characterized by descending speed and has a double tail.

According to the Taiwanese Defense Ministry, the plane’s mission lasted for hours, during which it completely surrounded the island and carried out precise reconnaissance missions around important areas.

The plane crossed the Bashi Strait, which separates Taiwan from the Philippines, then headed for the east coast of the island, before crossing back to the Chinese coast.

It also crossed the center line of the Taiwan Strait and entered air defense identification zones in the southwest, southeast and northeast, the ministry said.

Multitasking

The aircraft first appeared in 2017, manufactured by Sichuan Tengden Company, and its advantages include:

Armed reconnaissance drone, the maximum take-off weight is 2800 kilograms. Its wingspan is 20 meters and its height is 3.3 meters. Operational ceiling up to 8000 meters. Its maximum range is 6,000 km. 35 hours of continuous flight while carrying 1000 kg. The control range is specified at 280 kilometers. The weapons are distributed over four loading points. 1200 kilograms of weapons and equipment, carrying hover bombs, laser-guided bombs, AR-4 air-to-surface missiles, AR-3 cruise missiles, FT-8D, FT-10 air-to-surface missiles . Widely qualified for “strike reconnaissance”, it provides ground support in situations where enemy air power and anti-aircraft batteries are in decline.

chinese boom

China currently has the world’s most complete and diverse range of unmanned aircraft systems, whether stealth or non-stealth, jet or propeller-driven, as the country prepares for direct conflict with Taiwan and to an indirect conflict with the American army.

Its capability allows it to collect intelligence on Taiwan, perform radar mapping, and categorize electronic emissions from air defense systems and other Taiwanese military assets on the island’s east coast.

Taiwan is an open book

Information technology expert Abd al-Rahman Daoud comments that China has achieved great successes in obtaining every point of information in the territory of Taiwan due to the great development of spy systems and reconnaissance aircraft, and that made the island an open book for Beijing.

Although America was the first to invent drone manufacturing technology, China moved on and forced Washington to use Chinese technology. What bothered Washington a lot was Daoud’s expression.

He describes that what Beijing excels at is that it has the most accurate sensors, cameras and eavesdropping, and it has backed its aircraft with these capabilities and periodically launches it into the skies of Taiwan to know every little and big thing inside the island. .

At this point, the information technology expert points out that America’s quest to undermine the entry of semiconductors into China is part of its desire to strike technology from Chinese military industries.
